If you have the Indy DVDs, it features some material as DVD-ROM content including a cool animatic in Quicktime format for the opening of the ark sequence. Might be cool to include in the project if someone can convert it to DVD.

Other DVD-ROM content includes behind the scenes photos and poster galleries, but I think most of it is pretty small. They might be worth considering if you put together a gallery or something.

I actually tried making recreating the IMAX edit of AOTC a few weeks ago working off of the info about it around the net. Unfortunately, the results weren't very good. I didn't know how to make the wipes, etc. and of course I didn't know how to edit the audio so music cues just sporatically cut off. Pretty jarring. I just ended up deleting the files.

I'd love to see someone with editing skills try it though.

STAR WARS: The Torrents thread

Hi. I've had more success with those torrents I was downloading (the Making Ofs and Auditions) than I thought I would have. I've finished the Auditions and Making Of Part 2, but I'm still downloading Part 1 of the Making of Star Wars torrent. I'm at about 76% and the thing says there are 2 peers but no seeders. The download speeds aren't looking too great. Right now, it's at about 0 KB/s. Can anyone out there help seed this if they still have it on their hard drive? I'd really appreciate it.

Actually, when I search myspleen for Part 1, it doesn't even come up. Kinda odd.

Hello. For the longest time I've wanted to see the original SW documentaries like the Making of Star Wars, SPFX, Classic Creatures, etc. I've been away from this site for a while but I was interested in seeing how that SW Legacy project was doing. That led me to checking out this thread, etc.

Anyway I guess I missed it, but someone posted a two part torrent at myspleen.com with these documentaries on DVD. I started downloading (along with the casting auditions torrent) but the documentary torrents aren't looking too healthy. These two torrents are about 4.3 GBs each and at this rate, it's going to take an eternity to download. Would it be possible for someone to help me out and maybe upload these as smaller AVI or VCD files?

Seems like a big favor but I just figured I'd give it a shot.

I personally think A.I. is brilliant and perfect as is. And the ending actually is Kubrick's. Spielberg left the ending pretty much intact and had to work more on the Gigalo Joe stuff which Kubrick hadn't really worked on. Kubrick originally conceived it as a fairy tale. It's essentially a sci-fi remake of Pinocchio. While Kubrick and Brian Aldiss, who wrote the original short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long," were working on the script together in the 80s, Aldiss didn't like where Kubrick was going with the Blue Fairy and the fairy tale feel and he was taken off the project. Aldiss later published two follow up short stories which tell where he wanted the film to go.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I think the ending's brilliant. I guess it may appear a bit syrupy and sweet but if you look harder, it's pretty disturbing. First of all, humanity has pretty much destroyed themselves. Then you get into the Monica and David relationship. The love they feel for one another isn't real. How can it be? The love David knows is artificial programming and Monica is just a vision created from his memories. They have a disturbingly perfect day and the last shot of the film is David sleeping next to a corpse where he essentially dies. People call this happy?! Also, they weren't aliens. They were advanced Mechas. The film is told as a fairy tale from their point of view. They think David holds the key to their existence because he's their last link to humans, who they see as their creators.

Looking for TESB poster images

Moviegoods has some pretty large sized posters though they have a logo on them (which can probably be removed with Photoshop or something). Scroll to the bottom of the link for more ESB posters.

JediNet also has a poster gallery of varying sizes. You might get lucky if you look in there.
