Stay on topic... stay on topic...!
I fell asleep in The Godfather and haven't seen Part II, but I think Bingowings' idea has a lot of merit. I'm still very very interested to see what ideas ID and TJ had but hadn't mentioned, if you're still watching this thread — any chance of you releasing some of that info?

How 'bout Serenity being blown up by TIEs as it flees Cloud City? j/k :)
Oh yes! That would be seven different kinds of awesome.

I liked the continuity of the new Slave I sound, but I wouldn't miss it terribly if Adywan reverted it. If he's aiming to keep/improve continuity between PT and OT (I know he's planning to alter Jango's helmeted voice to sound like Boba, and I like the idea the Reborn guys were entertaining of conflating Jango and Boba into one character), keeping the 2004 engine sound is a harmless way to do that.

Anyway....all my USB drives are NTFS....never had a problem. The only reason to be using FAT32 is if you were still running Win98....go NTFS, much better. :)
I think you mean "USB couldn't care less". See, it actually makes logical sense to say that. "Couldn't care less" literally means "doesn't care at all". "Could care less" implies that it does. And so help me I will hunt down and kill any of you who make that mistake again.
=p
Seems like the logical thing would be to replace Zuck-1B with the super battle droid someone mentioned. I like the idea of a broken battle droid cameoing in each film in the OT, as a sort of running gag, especially given there's a reasonable place for it to happen.
GM, I'm downloading the file linked in your immediately previous post (rer8.wmv) but I get an error when I try to download the previous one (rer7.wmv). Any way you could re-upload it somewhere? I'm very interested to see it.
I liked that line. We'll see what His Awesomeness has to say...
Ooooh. GM, me likey.
That clip looks pretty sweet. Practically though, it's hard for me to tell the difference between a quality DVD like the ANH:R DVD-9 (just watched that on a friend's gigantic TV today. He'd only seen the OT once, years ago, but was a fan of the prequels. Some people have no taste lol. He was blown away) and HD footage, so I don't mind if it can't be done for ANH:R. I don't intend to get a blu-ray player until they're as cheap and ubiquitous as DVDs are now, so I expect to be sticking with the DVD format until the entire series is Revisited :p.
That said, it's great to hear that you're going to be working in HD.
Where are you, Golden Idol? There are PIF chains (you send the disc to three people on condition they pass it on to three people each) in the UK, the USA and Australia at present, and you could hop on one of those.
Tell you what tho, one time I really thought he should have listened to Kasdan was when he wanted to kill off Han in ROTJ.

I'm against keeping Temura Morrison's voice in this edit. It's just not classic Trilogy. Lucas should not have changed it to begin with. Only reason Why it was changed was that Lucas shot the prequels in Austrailia and Temura Morrison is a well known actor from that country. Now this is just my own speculation, but I believe it was a public relations decision that landed Temura Morrison the role as Boba fetts father to begin with. No offence to you folks in Austrailia at all.
Offence taken, ABD. I would venture that 90% of Australian viewers had never heard of Morrison before AOTC. I have already pointed out on this board that he's not even Australian. He's from New Zealand. That's why he has a Kiwi accent, not an Australian one. Maybe he's a popular actor there, but I'm not even sure of that.
I doubt Adywan will do it — in part because it would probably be more difficult — but I have to say I like the idea of including different walkers. That said, AOTC is about 25 years before the Battle of Hoth, so it's unlikely the same designs would be in use.
I've just been watching the GOUT ESB and there's an error which I'm pretty sure made it into the SE and which (at least according to GM's suggestions thread) hasn't yet been mentioned. The first shot after the walker blows up the power generator has Han and Leia running in a corridor inside the base, and there's a shining lamp on the wall. Perhaps the generator is supposed to be a shield generator, but it's referred to as a power generator at least most of the time in the film, and I quite like the idea of seeing this lamp flicker and die and then having all the shots in the base darkened. I realise this would take a lot of painting out of lights in the subsequent minute or so, so an alternative might be to have the lamp flicker off and then come on dimmer, as an emergency generator kicks in.
Another request is when the Star Destroyers collide, to have more camera shake and perhaps some visual effects in the window to show them actually colliding, even if it's just flashes from unseen explosions (which would probably be more effective than directly seeing them).
This is a real shame, I was so looking forward to the project. Hopefully someone else will pick it up. Unfortunately I don't have the skills necessary to pull it off, and even if I did I can't afford the software or an appropriate computer.
If it is truly a dead project, I think it would be wonderful if you could post a file — even just a text file or something similarly basic — detailing the edits you had made or were planning to make. Not necessarily the minor details of every flipped shot, colour grade or sound effect, but perhaps some of the music you were hoping to use and dialogue you had cut and at least where different prequel scenes were planned to fit in with the OT.
Perhaps if and when Adywan completes his Revisited series, a project like this will become easier, with less worrying about making the trilogies fit together without jarring and more effort on the artistic editing that makes this project so fascinating.
