On a more positive note, I just finished burning your Temple of Doom edit and will watch it soon. Thank you. :)

I know I'm hoping that if anyone completes the project that it will be a 100% rip-off of ID and TJ's vision, which was one of the best we've seen here. ;)

I was wondering about that, too. Last time I watched it, I thought 'it would be kinda cool if he didn't say that line.'

I thought of something last night, based on some recent discussion: did the thought ever cross your minds (or the minds of any editors) to make a fully silent movie version of Star Wars? Then you could put in any crazy music you want without any worries of bleed, dialogue, sound effects, or any of that other jazz. And either vocal narration or classic onscreen writing could take care of any necessary story explanation.

I certainly think it could work!

Déja vu... (from OT.com) Haha.

Very nice, -1! :) It's such an interesting technology. I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

I liked the space battle, too. Looked like he knew exactly what he was doing. :) The Nemoidians sounded great! Quite natural.

I was surprised that you left in the "who was his father?" part. And also the 'rule of two,' but then it led to the close-up of Palpatine, so that was ok.

Anyway, that was a very fun viewing. Oh, and where was the narration from? "A Musical Journey"? I can't remember.

I love cedmagic.com. :) I've read a ton of stuff there.

I've always been interested in obscure, obsolete technology. I love reading about Divx, too. Despite being Canadian, I actually got to see the big, fancy Divx displays at Circuit City when visiting Michigan back in late '98/early '99. Even then, I thought it was an interesting, yet extremely flawed, idea, despite not knowing nearly as much about it as I do now. Little did I know that even then, one foot was in the grave and the other was hovering above a banana peel.

Tons of very interesting info on Divx here (browse around, too): http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/divxgoodguys.html

Laserdisc was also the first format to present a film in its correct widescreen aspect ratio, I believe. Wasn't the first widescreen LD the Criterion Bladerunner?

The real question is, what is better, VHS or CED? Haha.

I saw the OOT on CED at a flea market once. Can't remember what it cost. Would be cool to have now.

 

Do you have CED player? I used to see SW CEDs all the time on eBay, I'm sure you can still pick one up there. :-P

 

No, I don't have anything CED related. I would've just gotten it for the curiosity/rarity factor. :) I don't think I'd bother buying it now.

Ooo! Looks like a ton of thought went into this, and that's always a good thing. :) Looking forward to seeing this, and I think I'll get your edit of Temple... now.

Downloading the latest clip now. *watches* Neat-o! Still feels weird every time. Heh.

I was just going to ask if they've shown the ion cannon's scale compared to other things, and I just found this: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/37/Ion_Cannon_%28Hoth%29.jpg

Lots of rebel soldiers shown around it to compare size. Looks cool.

Just stumbled across this a few minutes ago: http://www.geekologie.com/2008/07/_first_we_saw_han.php

Looks pretty cool, though the drool is a little much. :p

You're worse than ben_danger! Haha.

But seriously, TJ, do it. You know you want to... :p

Does anybody want the Mace/Palp duel reposted?

Do you really have to ask?! ;) Yes, we'll take anything you've got.

Just watched the chase clip. Very tight. Can't watch the latest one because it says it's temporarily unavailable. I'll try again later.

As others have said, and I feel exactly the same way, the slight audio bleed is A-OK! I don't hearing something slight in the background if it means I can see more of this excellent footage. :)

Let's just get Adywan to do it. I don't think he sleeps anyway. Haha. :p

On a slightly more serious note, I wonder if ADigitalMan has seen this thread? He knows the score and I think he could do it well. I know he's not working on anything now. (other than real work, that is)

Sorry, I read that wrong earlier. :p

That last one was good, too. Nice spot to put that scene. Would it have been shown for the first time at that point? I'm thinking that would be wise, especially considering the length of it, if it was already shown before, y'know? Maybe tighten it up a bit if it had been shown in its entirety before.

I never noticed how much she looks like a hippie in that scene. Haha.

Very interesting. I thought the audio sounded good, too.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced that this project must go on somehow! I'm actually quite eager to watch the prequels...like this. ;)

Excellent work, guys! :)

I just finished making this, for fun:

I have always wanted to see Star Wars and Star Trek integrated into one movie/TV episode. I know it will probably never happen, but it would be neat! There have been a handful of attempts (mostly comedy), but no fully integrated stories or anything.

Unless you guys know of one...

Thank you for posting that, tj! It's nice to see more insights into the project like this. I just watched it and I'm quite impressed! I really hope that someone can take the ball and run with it, because seeing that reenforces how unique and creative this project is.
