Thanks for another nice behind-the-scenes picture, Ady. :)

Check your PMs, Ripplin.

Checked, saw nothing new...

Lots of countries, but many are represented by only one coin. If anyone has anything they can spare, that would be awesome!

Yes, the new blue glow is nice. Consistency is good. :)

Does anyone know why they changed the engine glow colors? For that matter, what about the slow firing rate of the TIEs? I don't remember reading any reasons when this was brought up before. (MF's, SD's glows in ESB:R)

I think this is more in line with the teaser video he showed us of the new Wampa. ;)

Compare this post by Monroville with Ady's screenshot and I believe certain things will come to light...

And 005, I found that bluescreen picture you mentioned whilst browsing my pictures last night. Good times. :) I forget who made it, though.

I still think that last shot of the fleet is beautiful in its original incarnation and I'm sure Ady's will only enhance that. I particularly like seeing the lights in the ships being clearer. The SSD will be a nice sight too.

^Yes, it's all fresh from my little region of Ontario. ;) I do love looking at the failblogs and such, but they weren't the inspiration. I started taking some of my pictures years before failblog even existed. It's just now that I'm organizing stuff.

I just scanned a messed up greeting card last night that I've had for a good 10 years now! :p I also scanned a picture that I sent Jay Leno, who featured it on The Tonight Show around 10 years ago, too. (I missed it, but my brother saw it)

I mentioned at the two forums I started the thread at originally that I'm willing to post stuff they add to my thread as well and give them credit (you guys can add stuff here if you'd like!), but only if they originally saw it and took a picture or screengrab of it.

^^We think differently on Fett. For me, I wish he wasn't even in ROTJ! Horrible, unnecessary ending to one of the coolest characters in Empire.

Ooo, a mock-up? That'll be fun to see. :)

To any of you who have The Making of The Empire Strikes Back, are there any good pictures of the shield generator models from which Ady could work from? I know it's an old issue, but I haven't heard much about it.

^That makes perfect sense...to someone.

Hey, What Plans?, do the Annotated Screenplays cover the whole trilogy? One I'd like to read is 'Unlock 1, 5, 7 and 9. Release [charges, apparently?]' I could swear he really says 'chocks' (as in, something that holds something else in place), which makes sense to me, given the sounds and hissing immediately thereafter, but in ANH:R, Ady put 'charges.' Blueharvest.net's script also says 'charges', but I've never heard it that way. Maybe I should check it out again.

I guess the "excuse me, ma'am" line is the only one people are hearing differently in ESB? I seem to remember reading something else along these lines earlier in the thread, but I could be mistaken.

I think it'll be neat to hear a less whiny Anakin. Haha. It's little things like that that make me really get into an edit. Having 3PO sound different should be good too. Anakin making him was just pure fanservice, much like Fett looking into the camera in ANH SE. All I got out of it was a chance to exercise my eye rolling abilities.

My guess is "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo", but I could be wrong.

Oh, and, of course, I hate Rapidshare too. :p

That's probably how he feels sometimes dealing with his injuries...

Speaking of baseballs life hitting one in the face, first this guy walks down the middle of the driveway behind the mall in a straight line, making me almost come to a complete stop because it's apparently his own personal sidewalk now, but when I leave the parking lot, I see that the price of gas went up nearly 11 CENTS OVERNIGHT! I usually don't say much about such things, as I can't do anything about it, but...yeah. Not a gruntled drive home tonight.

^^Good one, Frinky. :)

I once found something disturbing/kinda funny that was Jake Lloyd-related. I'll try and find it...

I thought 'I wonder what Jake Lloyd looks like after all these years', so I did a Google search. Look at the 4th result...

At least he has a shirt on! :S

Ma'am Solo. I love it. :) Funny how some heard 'Han' all these years and I never would've thought of that if someone hadn't mentioned it here. :p

As for the galaxy thing at the end, I just pictured it if there was nothing there but space. Certainly lowers the emotion a bit. On the other hand, without that majestic sight, it also makes it look like the little Falcon flying away is leaving on a lonely mission to find Han. But in the end, whatever Ady decides to do—or not do—it's going to look nice.

"a film from the early 80s"

Wow, that could be just about anything! ;) Should be interesting.

Thanks for the reply and the offer. I'll take it! Haha. "The homestretch" just means you're nearly done, by the way.

Me neither. :p I've probably averaged 3/4 of an episode for the past 4 or 5 seasons. Sad, considering how great it used to be and how well I knew the show.

People Are Getting More Dumberer All the Time...

I've turned a thread I made at a couple of forums into my first real blog. It's mostly about dumb mistakes I find around town, but general foibles and such can be found there as well.

Here's a sample:

Taken Thursday night. I'm glad I had my camera with me. :)

Treehouse of Horror, I take it...
