Good thinking!

People go crazy when he's around too. Have some popcorn, Ripplin. :-)

I'm going to say speak for yourself on that one. I don't remember ever having trouble figuring out what he was saying, even before I'd seen ROTJ and knew where they were going.

Ray: hmm. I can't remember if Luke actually says the planet's name anywhere else. How does he say it elsewhere?

I actually almost like that different people pronounce names differently: Tarkin says "Lee-ah" where Luke says "Lay-ah", Obi-Wan says "Tattoo-in" where Luke says "Tah-tooine", Lando says "Hehn" where Leia says "Hahn" and Han says "Hun". Similarly to people having different accents, it makes the thing more believable. If everyone speaks the same way it can sound too artificial.

If we wanted to be really radical, the trailer for the Old Republic MMORPG would make an awesome dream sequence. Maybe just snapshots here and there, filtered or something to make them less obviously CG, similar to but perhaps not as extreme as the effects on the original dream sequences. The big bad in that trailer looks a lot like Darth Vader sans helmet.

I don't care about it being available there as such, and I haven't even seen it. I just find it bothersome when people use such dodgy reasoning, no matter where or why.

My arguments are no mooter than I meant them to be. I wasn't meaning to effect anything, just to say what I felt about the topic at hand. This is a forum, is it not? That is what forums are for. I wouldn't do any better to say anything there, as I don't even use the site.

I understand the reasoning but still think it's quite wrong. The Purist edit is a modification of Revisited in the first place; moreover, the differences between the Purist edit and Revisited proper are far smaller than the differences between the Purist edit and the original, both in scale and quantity. If Revisited qualifies, it is very surprising that the Purist edit does not. I agree it's sensible to have clear rules and a definite line, but those rules would have to be very odd for two very similar edits to fall on either side of that line.

I like that idea. Some of the scenes on board the Federation ship could be reinserted to have the Jedi Knights sent to "force a settlement" during or just before the final battle; we could then transplant the duel to the Federation ship. The problem then would be how that would relate to Anakin's role in the battle.

Look after yourself, Ady.

I never had it throttled anything like that much. You can manually limit the download rate in jdownloader (presumably so as not to go over your quota/make the rest of your internets slow) and that might be set to only 10KB/s. If that's the case, then up that limit to something more sensible.

I've often said — Trek is a lot softer sci-fi than it likes to think it is. Star Wars is well aware of how soft it is, most of the time. I tend to prefer things that are squarely on one end of the scale (Star Wars, Doctor Who) or the other (Firefly, 2001), although I do appreciate Star Trek.

You know, that could count as evidence that that part of the story takes place overnight.

I'll just be over here. Popcorn anyone?

Frink's a hobbit. I knew it.

It does exist on the miniature, but you do have to have eagle eyes to spot it. Someone had a photo of it, but I've no idea where. Basically it's bang in the centre of the front face of the hexagonal tower.

Yeah, the full file is a DVD5.

Hup hup, HUZZAH!

Also guys: remember that the shadow on the wall isn't of the circle in the middle of the ceiling.

Well spotted.

I'll make some popcorn, shall I?

The geography of the battle has done in several heads around here already.

A correct angle could definitely be created, whether by manipulation of existing footage, CGI or miniature filming. 

I'm pretty sure that's the way it was until 1997.
