(I'm surprised you didn't reinstert more detail, but as you said, it's a test.)

More detail? Where?

Some of the detail created by shadows is washed out maybe more than you intended. No big deal.

Seriously, though, it's too bad you missed it. All I saw was Morales mess up his leg. :p I dunno if the Phillies game was on.

Blimey, I didn't think you were much of a swearer. Thanks for taking the time to type all those out. :p

I'm sure Warbler is pretty happy about today's Phillies game though, huh?! :o

Which, again, wouldn't have had to be done if you hadn't insisted on 10 teams... *winkwinknudgenudgesaynomore* If we do this again next season, I'm hoping you'll relax your stance in that regard a little. ;)

Not bad! (I'm surprised you didn't reinstert more detail, but as you said, it's a test.) Not sure that fix is feasible, unfortunately. It would have to be altered from different camera angles too, right?

Oh, and Torii Hunter got hit in the hand earlier in the game! :(

POOR KENDRY MORALES!

He hits a walk-off game winning grand slam in the 10th (his first career GS), then when he gets to homeplate, he is greeted by his team. He jumps into the air and then...they call the trainers cuz something is wrong. The crowd goes from cheering like crazy to silence. They just went to commercial and he's still sitting on the ground with his team around him.

Back from commercials and he's still down. Looks like a left ankle injury, maybe. The cart is there to bring him off the field. They would probably be going to another show by now, but they're staying with it. Ok, done now.

Whoever has Morales, hope for the best!

Any news?

I kept checking an e-mail notification for this thread and got an error every time. Now I see why: that post, supposedly by stew181, doesn't exist. :p

Heh heh, looky there... We even both mentioned the acronym buster. :p

...which is here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-originaltrilogy-com-acronym-buster/topic/6810/

GOUT are the 2006 versions (and doesn't refer to any other set). OOT are the Original Original Trilogy, meaning not the 'plop a 1993 LD transfer on a disc to shut them up' versions we got in 2006. ;)

Moth3r has an acronym buster around somewhere...

Ditto!

ACK.  I cannot even begin to convey my sympathies.

You just did, in a way. ;)

Billy Dee doesn't look that haggard, either. :p

Yikes... So, what is the difference between what you lost and the preliminary clips you have up on YouTube? I mean, I watch them and they have all the interview clips and behind the scenes stuff in them and everything.

I seem to recall watching that sequence going "that's clever, the way they shot it, it looks like 3PO is heavy enough to make those grooves".

As I recall, Anthony Daniels is such an incredibly good actor (possibly the best the world has ever known, I'm sure he'd say!) that he allowed himself to be crushed and twisted inside the suit for those scenes. He then used some sort of self-taught massage technique to make himself normal again.

You've probably also got the issue that Ady would then be distributing the original published material; Lucasfilm/MPAA might not appreciate that.

I know what you're getting at, but do you think color correcting and adding/fixing stuff at home makes it not the original published material? He doesn't own them. They could shut him down any time they felt like it. (what would someone say? 'You'll be hearing from my lawyers, Lucasfilm!'? Heh.) We're just glad they haven't said/done anything in this regard. There have been a lot of straight laserdisc transfers and stuff as well which they've never said anything about. There have even been other split-screen comparison versions made.

If it wasn't done [by anyone] for ANH:R, I don't see it being done for ESB:R. But I'm sure he'd allow someone else to do it. But I think there were reasons why it wasn't done. (large sections of the 2004 version, such as the Jabba scene, being represented by nothingness in the ANH:R version, for example?)

Thank you Ady, and thank you DE! Nice to see what two similar minds can accomplish. (that's a compliment, wink wink*)

*not a sarcastic wink wink

Check out this article I posted featuring the pre-SE ESB on a grain elevator: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/ESB-on-a-grain-elevator-dark-years-stories/topic/11570/

Here's an article I kept from early 1992, still during the "dark years" (the Zahn books were still pretty new; paperback was not out yet when this article was featured), when any Star Wars spottings were big news for me. :)

I kept other things over the years, but this is one of the more interesting ones.

Do you have any things/stories to share from this time period?

Just had to think of an obscure name...that I think is pretty awesome. :)

I'm kicking myself for not having put in Vladi tonight in my other league. What a game he had!

I would imagine there have been lots, giventhat there are thousands upon thousands of discs out there. "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" comes to mind, with 4 different audio tracks (original unedited audio, 'what they were really saying' audio, book on tape audio, commentary) Is that the sort of thing you meant?

Have you heard of Fennis Dembo?!

The EU is so much revisionist history. "Oh, look, shell casings in the movie. Uh, uh...yeah, they were always in the Star Wars universe. Yeah." :p

 As much as I'm down on the EU... the fact there are shell casings in the movies and the shell casings are also in the EU... ... how is that a bad thing?

I never said it was a bad thing, did I? ;) But you must admit that they often change things for the sake of convenience, or years after the fact to fit with something else. Remember when Obi-Wan and Lars used to be brothers? Haha.

Just remember you are talking about a guy that read 10 400-page EU Star Wars novels in a span of two months (NOT recommended, cuz I could barely remember a thing a week later), so I have no problem with EU itself.
