Unless my memory is even fuzzier than I think it is, I believe a sort of 'beta' version of ESB:VE is out. I think there are still some color correction issues he wants to fix in the future. (same with ANH?)
Please correct me if I'm wrong, Paul! I'm really looking forward to your Vintage edits, too, and hope I can get them someday! :)
That's pretty neat, GM! Well done. :) Having said that, you do still want Wingreen's voice completely substituted for ESB though, right? (I forget)
Speaking of Jason Wingreen, I just found out he was the actor who played Dr. Linke in the original Star Trek episode "The Empath". So he's one of the few people to appear in both franchises. I don't know who else there may be.

Luke really needed to listen to his ELO mix tapes on the way to Dagobah.
It really would be funny to have something like this as a DVD extra. :) Something from the 70's could be playing. Maybe a Star Wars song by Meco! Haha. Actually, that's more elevator music material.
I just thought of a funny scene. You know when Luke is going through the depths of Cloud City, following/getting away from Vader, and he steps in that tunnel that light up? What if the usual circus music came on and those like started blinking? Heh.
Saw "the Devourer of Worlds" post in the Star Wars Revisited thread and had to check out his own thread. ;) This project sounds very cool! Any updates on version 2.0? I'd love to see it someday!
Way to encourage them, Rob. :p

Had anyone told me a few months ago that I would be reading arguments as to the shade of blue of TIE Fighters, I would have said they were crazy. Now its how I spend my free time.
Somewhere, Mr. T is pitying you. I guess that's sort of an honor, so cheer up! :)
As for Boba Fett's voice, it certainly made sense that they had Morrison record those lines for ESB (because you know how they like to tinker with things that could've/should've remained finished when they were released), but they could have at least given him a cup of coffee first to wake him up. The thing is, most people don't care enough for the prequels to have his readings in ESB, no matter how well he could've done. I don't even want McDiarmid in there, so...yeah.
Love the holo-Obi! :)
Yes, like when the scutters were changing the hallways from Ocean Gray to Military Gray, they were actually doing it the other way around.
*hopes someone will get that*
Great pics, Sumatra! I wish I could see that exhibit sometime.

Ady, that link has some kind of error, I can't view it. :(
Linking doesn't seem to work on the forum right now. Probably a bug. I haven't been able to view any links people have posted for several day now.

Wish I still had it, but then don't we all.
Yeah, I wish you still had it.
It's "funny" how in that bottom left one, from left to right, we have gray, blue, gray, blue. From a certain point of view.
P.S. Do you sleep at all, Ady? ;) Your second last post was at 3:00 AM and your last one was at 5:15 AM.
This project sounds great! :) Hope it goes smoothly for you the rest of the way.
I have a question: will you be including the various promos/commercials that were included with these? My favorite was that one that showed the tiny television and said something like "for years, the only way you could experience Star Wars was on a TV screen." That one still gives me goosebumps when the fanfare hits! To have those included would be gravy on the icing.
Some things that are affecting me are:
A) e-mail notifications sometimes sending me as far as two pages back when it's supposed to go to the latest post
B) when people add links in their posts, it just plain won't work sometimes. It sends me to an error page which includes the following message: "File not found: /topic.cfm" Even when I copy and paste the link in another window, I get the same error page.
C) when I want to quote someone, it wouldn't let me type in the white area, so I hit enter (another kettle of fish; see D) and it added what I wrote in a separate quote box.
D) Is it supposed to go down two lines when I hit enter to try and got to the one immediately below it?
And a new one: I've gotten a few redundant e-mail notifications of late, even hours apart. And they'll sometimes show up below older messages in my inbox. Very odd. :p
Thanks, Ady. I'll have to search the forum for that thread, though. All I've been getting lately when someone adds a link here is some weird error page, which includes the following message: "File not found: /topic.cfm" Even when I copy and paste the link in another window, I get the same error page.
^See? I tried to type in the white area, but it wouldn't let me. It put what I wrote in a separate quote box. (which happens automatically when you hit enter to go down a line, too)

.....and on a side ote, I'm having trouble getting used to this new quoting function.....
It is a little odd, innit? What I would like to see changed (if possible, and if enough people would care) is for there not to be such a space between sentences. Like, when I hit enter, it sort of adds two lines rather than one.

the Bonus Masterials (disc 4 of the 2004 set, available seperately off Amazon.com for $5, yes!
Wow, I had no idea. Everyone should have that disc. As opposed to the mess of the movies they're based on (and in the same box set as), it's excellent!
Oh, and Ady, what is this TB you keep mentioning? I couldn't even find it in Moth3r's acronym buster. :p
Pretty interesting! Is it going to put together like the ANH:R Visual Comparison groups of pics? (and a lot of those shots just posted aren't making it into the edit)
Wow, great job. Stunning difference in the color of the officers!
Speaking of AT-ATs, how do you guys say it? I just pronounce it like I would the normal letters, like 'ay tee ay tee.' But I've heard some pronounce it like the word 'at.' Some kid mentioned an 'at at' and I didn't know what he was talking about at first.
Speaking of MagnoliaFan, did he do an Episode III edit? I only have I and II.
Good grief, Josh, are you sponsored by wookipedia or what? ;)

I would never have guessed that the saga would end up beginning so slowly with a focus on 'taxation routes' and 'politics'!
That's one of my biggest problems with the prequels (besides Jar Jar, random silliness and some annoying sound design): convoluted storytelling and boring dialogue. I still barely understand all that Trade Federation stuff, etc... The sad thing is I don't care to understand, either. I left the theater confused and sort of thinking "...what just happened?" after seeing TPM.
Great references there, seven. I love seeing pictures to back things up. :)
