I assume those are direct hotlink errors? Because they made me laugh pretty hard. :D

Ok, probably not the best wording. :P I meant those who are very serious about doing the OT justice. *blinks* Yeah, my reasoning isn't doing so well today. I hate finals. They destroy my brain.

Ontopic: Model making would certainly help improve the quality of the edits, Ady. I hope you can maintain the resources to support such an operation. I have no doubt you have the dedication, as we've seen.

Very interesting ideas on all fronts. And even though I'm part of multiple internet communities where this is an issue, it still amuses me to see how everyone always works to make peace with the hardcore purists. Not a bad thing by any means, just entertaining. :D

I like that. Looks very cool and much improved over the original.

Well, the audio is in 5.1 dolby. If one is using a stereo setup, it's conceivable that it might sound different than on a full system. For instance, no center speaker might mean quieter dialogue, which sounded like the problem one or two people were having. I was under the impression that a 5.1 signal would compress correctly into a stereo one if played as such. :/

Sweet. Makes today special. :P

It refers to all the extraneous novels, comics, cartoon series, etc. Even though some are technically considered canon while others are not, Ady would rather stick with the established movies, ignoring all the rest. Makes sense to me.

That picture is very pretty. O_o  Make it so. xD

Exactly. Plus, it has become somewhat of a companion to this project, and therefore I deem it necessary to retain it.

I stand corrected.

Oh, no wonder- it was only started on the 8th. Takes me a while to catch up. :D

I believe the only Adywan Revisited threads are this, the IV thread, and the suggestion thread for V and VI. It might be a good idea to have a floating thread for those, but it seems like it's a bit early. I mean, based upon the estimates so far, it'll be at least 3 or 4 years before Adywan gets to the prequels.

As usual, I've been keeping track of the topic via email updates. It's fascinating to watch the debates over things both large and small. Thanks doubleofive for the representational pic. I think the grey ties will look fine. Also, welcome thunderclap, to the largest and most entertaining detail discussion in the history of fan edits. As far as I know, at least. :D

Wow. When you say shit loads, you mean it. :D That is amazing! And a great scene, too. Dangit, I can't wait for this movie. :P

Edit: And yeah- hope your family is doing well.

Great to hear the news. Good luck. :D

Oh my god. D: That's terrible. You and your family have my deepest sympathies.

Well, for those interested, I just jumped in to a few minutes of watching the Episode 5 GOUT stretched sideways on a large LCD screen in a neighboring dorm suite. Not exactly the best video quality or viewing experience, but it's good to see there are die-hard original fans out there. I'm going to do my best to get the owner interested in the Revisited edits. :D

And wow, there are a lot of parallel/random discussions going on. o_o

Hahaha. I was confused at first, but then I just laughed for the rest of the video.

That's a sweet speeder....Hey Adywan.......did you see my post about possibly updating the view screen in vaders chamber, that cool place where he meditates and takes his helmet off.....that screen looks very 70's Star Trek.....Peace...

You probably mean "60s" Star Trek. : )

I lol'd.

The sad part is IF on the off chance Lucasfilm actually fixes their masters for a Blu-ray release, they have the legal right to completely rip off everything Adywan did and have ILM copy it in HD without giving Ady any credit for his hard work, and the general public will praise Lucasfilm for doing it.

It's quite possible that could happen. As unfortunate as it would be that Ady wouldn't get any credit for it, we would at least have the satisfaction of knowing Lucasfilm noticed and thought it was a significant enough piece of art to copy. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. :D

There is a whole thread on this over at the  sideshow collactable forum

Wow, Adywan. Looks like that second discussion thread is mostly in love with you. :P With the exception of the usual skeptics, of course.

I have been trying to rip that scene from the DVD and it turns out it is much more difficult than I originally anticipated. Too bad about the HD, will this in any way speed up the process since it is no longer HD or will it be about the same amount of time.

 

 

I would recommend "DVD shrink" to get the actual menu file onto the hard disk as a "re-authored" disk, then some .vob to avi converter. The latter might be the harder part.

And I think ESBR-SD is fine. I mean, HD is beautiful, but normal DVDs look pretty dang great, especially if on an upconvert dvd player. I'd prefer a great, relatively quicker ESBR to a slow, tedious development on an HD version. Good choice, Ady.

I feel bad, but my burning hardware is still faulty, and I have no way of contributing to the PIF. I attempted to make up for it by passing on copies of other edits, but I have yet to complete my Adywan DVD-9 PIF dues.

Wow. Adywan speaks! And with pictures! They all look really nice. The one with Han in the carbon freezing chamber is interesting. Unlike some of the others, the colors have actually ended up more vibrant, as opposed to mollified. It's an interesting effect. Cool work!

Exactly.  They are course, and rough and they get everywhere.

Haha.

I've had externals fail on me before. I feel like there's no solid way to back up anything anymore. o_o
