Some of the differences in those pictures are stunning! It's especially slap-you-in-the-face different when you look at that strips of white light in the Falcon. Did you do some extra work on that shot, because that's just...wow.

1.) Why could Luke talk to Leia with the force
I've heard/read that he just did it out of desperation and it happened to work. Like 'Ben! Ben? Ok, um...Yoda! No... Oh, Leia's still around here somewhere! Leia!' But who knows? They make up a lot of stuff after the fact.
Here's a page from today's Future Shop (Best Buy's sister company) flyer:

There's a lot of work required to even match Adywan's 'Star Wars:Revisited' though....
Yeah, but they would never attempt it. Still too much stuff in it from the original, obsolete version we 'fell in love with,' and that's unacceptable. ;)
I have a few old tapes I would like to preserve in digital format and so far, I've only tried Nerovision, which is very slow and choppy. I was quite disappointed with it. Are there any smaller, more efficient programs I can use? Also, is there any way to defeat Macrovision without buying some sort of external decoder dealy?
George should get together with Gene Simmons. They'll put their respective brand's logos and likenesses on anything! :p I would say that Lucas probably doesn't worship money to the same extent as Simmons, though. Hopefully, anyway.
That scene above (yeah, maybe 'shoddy' is a little harsh, but then 'shoddy' could be used to describe a lot about ROTJ, I think!) does look very cut and paste, especially when you're looking at a still shot. A little chaos would certainly add a lot, and not be so overwhelming as to take away from the A-Wing.
Anyway, that's ROTJ, not ESB! Bad! Baaaaad! You mention Blu-Ray, Amok (taken from "Amok Time"?), but is that just a guess, or have they already hinted or declared that it's coming? If they do, I guess it'll be the Super Duper Especially Special Edition, right?
Thanks, 005. I wonder why they decided to add the apprentice to both? Or at all? Heh. I guess LFL is trying to push the guy.
I do like the design of that gas refinery dealy they added in, but yes, it could look better...somehow. Might be neat if when the X-Wing flew by, the clouds sort of blew around due to the engines.
Didn't know about Yoda in the 360 version. Probably cuz I was looking at a PS3 site. Haha. I'll have to check the 'good guy' section at the official site to see Yoda. (and check for the apprentice, though I have no idea who he is or what he looks like)
...and I dunno what to think. A ridiculous Namco/LFL gimmick? The coolest part of the game? Seems like storylines and timeframes are pretty much getting thrown out the window for this. Haha.

The NTSC version is at proper NTSC speed. No issues with noticing the unnoticeable. ;)
Yep, it's in PM land now.
I was watching some of ADM's ESB edit and when it came to the John Ratzenberger scenes, I must admit I was second guessing myself as to whether it was him or not sometimes. B'oh... Someone was talking about it earlier, but there doesn't seem to be any concensus on the issue.

Ripplin, dont know if as im viewing it on my PS3 but thef first 2 images aint showing up. Dead weird posting from anything other than my PC(just popped my cherry withthat one), Its crap without a keyboard! Edit, oh, it worked. Message flashed up about invalid UTRL when i posted that reply. The lastest firmware still aint right (take note SONY).
The first two pics are from a blog, which will prompt you to open or save the image separately when you open it from somewhere else. They worked when I previewed my post. Oh well, they can be viewed, just not as easily as some pics.
As for the firmware thing, I'm still on 2.31 and have no plans to upgrade until this mess is over. At another forum, there was this big warning about 2.41, so I didn't bother upgrading. Actually, I've only been online with my PS3 once since I've owned it, to upgrade to 2.31. Haha. I might be on more if I had a router, but I'm in no hurry.
Found these crazy pics whilst surfing the net:
Still have these stored in my Photobucket account, too:
(from Star Wars Insider)
A bit off-topic, but here's something from ComingSoon.net:
ComingSoon.net caught up with DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg on Tuesday and learned that George Lucas is looking to repurpose the six "Star Wars" episodes into 3D format.
Katzenberg told us that Lucas is very excited about it and that he's got the technical resources to pull it off. "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate," Katzenberg said.
PT and SE OT badness...right in my face! I have no idea how people would go about editing them. Haha. Might be more about simply removing things rather than full effects editing and such, unless they have access to the same 3-D technology so their work won't look out of place with the rest.
Ok, back to ESB...

Talk about burying your head in the sand (snow), lol
Actually, it's sitting down. The smoke is coming from where its head used to be.
Very, very interesting post, InfoDroid. Thanks for sharing that. I'm going to have to check out whatever Reborn info there is at FE.org as well.
P.S. Jorge, I'm a fan of your work, so I know I'd like to see you attempt it! ;)
I think I saw that poster while looking around here: http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/
Might want to take a look around.
This site might be worth a look for ESB bloopers and such: http://www.slipups.com/tree/1196.html
^Could both be combined, maybe? Ady certainly has had success with adding and removing elements. Heh.
^Who is that, Captain Picard?

Or trades, which I love to do. :)
Ady, I know you mentioned that several of your mates have dead 360s, but does anyone happen to have one working with the HD-DVD player? If they don't have the player, it's dirt cheap now. Might be a good option for testing in the future.
I like that suggestion about doing something with that shot of the asteroid hitting the SD's bridge. It just looks odd. What say you, Adywan? :)
You could stick the master versions on an external HDD somewhere and when Blu-Ray media/burners/etc becomes more prevalent, there y'go! For now, DVD-9s would be great.
P.S. Does anyone seriously know why DVD-9s are still so expensive? Is it just because they can charge whatever they want? Are they harder/more costly to make? It just doesn't seem reasonable to me to charge ten times more for the same sort of basic disc.
