Oh well, I guess my disc will be a collector's item. ;)

Nice to know it will go faster/easier for you. I will still watch mine and look for anything that might need a final cleanup. I hope I can do the same for Part 2. (one change I know I would make is when they are being chased when they leave Mos Eisley, I would change Han's line from "Well, you tell me!" to a much simpler and direct "You tell me!")

^In a way, yes. But then, it could just encourage him to play with them again and do more questionable things. Then it would be another complete overhaul for the fan editors because LFL never gets it right. (even though we know they can)

Hey hey.

Just throwing this out there, but how about the Darth Editous (or Darth Editous/ADigitalMan Hybrid) version? It's color corrected (might need to tone down some reds or something) and has far less edits than Ady's.

No, it's not... he worked on color correction for a V4 and then went AWOL, if I recall.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. He did show us some tests that looked very nice. So long ago I was mixing things up. Still a great edit. :)

It's a shame he's gone. (nearly a year already!) Such a valuable member of the community.

Knowing the picture would change slightly once it was zoomed in, we knew it would create some issues, like 'stairstepping,' but hopefully trying to fix it won't create its own issues. ;) Maybe you could give us a quick comparison video sometime?

Burned it a couple of hours ago and had a quick scan of Episode I. Looks neat-o! Any "stairstepping" can pretty much be ignored, from what I saw. It's definitely not prominent. The mono soundtrack is fun (sounds like an old gramophone or radio), but I'd listen to the regular one most of the time, I think.

I plan to watch the whole disc later on today. :)

GOOD NEWS, Jay! (well, sorta)

Turns out that the re-activation I had to do at that other forum (see immediately above) was supposed to happen, due to the mods having to change the registration process because of jerks. So, no bugs at play here; just jerks wasting time so a lot of other people have to waste time. :p

That was hilarous! Much funnier than the 'Octapee' kid, even. Thanks! :)

I'll have to take a picture of my Space Power Warrior bootleg toy sometime. It's pretty interesting. :)

Oh, I've told a lot of people, too, but I haven't exactly rung up Skywalker Ranch... Haha.

Yeah, they have said that they encourage fan movies on occasion, then changed their minds later on. Best not to tempt fate by shouting our love for the Revisited edits from the rooftops, so to speak.

^Yes. NOT having them all over the universe is a good thing for the time being. ;)

I'll let you know soon. ;) Well, soon meaning Saturday, probably.

You know what? I'm starting to think there's a bug in my computer. I just had to re-activate my account at another forum for no apparent reason...

^Yes, kinda sad, huh? :p

Oh, and have you considered if it would be an idea to add the 2 red lights at the end of the MF's front 'prongs' to come on, somewhere when it lands, in the top shot?  Just another thought to think over. 

That would be a nice touch. :)

Sounds good, Mr! I like surprises.

Surprises are always good. :)

Yeah, even just one or two Cloud Cars patrolling would be good.

I love the brightness of your scenes...

Yes! So much more detail shows. :)

And notice how the laser cannons on top are a bit bigger and lower now, especially in the second comparison.

I think the closest person we have to the main cast / crew who at least has a copy is Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca).  There's a picture somewhere in the thread of him receiving a copy.  He should like it, as he's complained for years about Chewie not getting a medal at the end of the movie!

Very cool. :)

Very weird... Thanks for the replies, Jay.

^Yes, that's the one.

I got an e-mail around 15 minutes ago saying I requested a new password, which I absolutely did not. Then I had to go through two new ones just to log in.I have now added one that I will actually remember, rather than the random letters and numbers they assign you as a new one. Haha.

Anyone else getting weird notifications like this today, or recently? :p

if we're being realistic, both Obi-Wan and Vader should have been frying early on

Thanks for the clarification, Ady. I don't remember reading that. Very interesting! Definitely agree about removing the 'noooooooo!'!

Hey, I was just thinking about how you might need to film something at some point, asnd it got me thinking: did we ever see that Vader costume you were putting together?
