The Cage being longer than the average TOS episode, it suffers more being cut for syndication.
You can pick up the early 2000’s DVD release pretty cheap on Ebay these days. It was in Volume 40 of the single disc two episode versions. I watched some of mine earlier this year, and they still look pretty good.
You’re right. My bad!
Ha, I like the Blues Brothers idea.
Aren’t they in the Order 66 montage though?
Is there maybe a way to have them receive it on the ship? That way it would be clearer it’s meant to be the signal and not just background music.
Good idea, I can have it play on the ship when they first discuss the coded message.
Time for a cutaway to that ceiling speaker from Star Trek II again. 😉
Hmmm…I thought the idea was that the song was the signal that told the Jedi it was safe to come back…and Obi will change the song in the next scene.
Outside the temple, it should sound like it’s coming out of a cheapo P.A. speaker or something.

For scenes inside the temple, a nice echo or reverb.
That’s amazing! I think if you can speed it up just a bit more, you’ll nail it. 😃
Is there any way to “dirty down” the CG model? Maul’s speeder has been running amok for a decade at this point. I’ll presume the probe droids still chasing it in ATOR finally died. 😉

Also, referring to Bob Garcia’s original test, I think if you put in a little hint of a dust cloud on the horizon at 36 seconds, that sells it even more.

I’m going to go out on a limb, and predict that song is in Guardians of The Galaxy 2. 😉
Why am I reminded of Gune from Titan A.E.? 😉
Repeat to yourself, it’s just a video game, I should really just relax. 😉
Where was this posted?
I saw a TFA coloring book at Walgreen’s last month, and avoided it like the plague. How accurately a coloring book can reflect the actual plot of a movie I have no idea.
Are the words hell and damn really seen as adult language in the US? Forgive me for asking but I’m Scottish 😄
You can say both at least once in a G rated film since the 70’s, so unless someone is really prudish, I kind of doubt it. E.T. allegedly had stronger profanity just to avoid a G rating. There were once fears the all important teen audience would not be caught dead seeing a G rated film.
What is this in reference to?
Awesome! Didn’t know a 3D digital model existed outside ILM. 😃
Force Frenzy! The new dance craze sweeping the nation!
One thought I’ve had regarding the speeder shot. Get a hold of the Sith Speeder toy made for the 12 inch Darth Maul, and shoot it front of a greenscreen? Unless the smaller scale toy would work?

Are the subs in the letterbox area?
Well I think we can safely assume that Palpatine was just plain “evil.”
I’ll never accept that. No man is 100.100% evil. Palpatine – as spiritually dead as he was – must have had at least one good spark in him. Personally, I believe he loved his mother – in spite of himself, in spite of the darkness he had embraced, he loved her.
When was Palpy’s mom ever mentioned in the prequels?
Robot Chicken’s version of Palpatine’s early life is in my personal canon. 😉
I just want to thank all you “fans” for disrespecting and bullying me for liking the prequels all these years and for disrespecting George Lucas, the man who created SW, and for continuing to push your conspiracy theories that he had nothing to do with SW creation (it was all Kurtz, Right?). You have finally won. Star Wars is dead to me. I want nothing to do with Disney Star Wars…now that they chose to cater to you guys…congratulations to you all…
George Lucas today:
“You go to make a movie and all you do is get criticized,” is how George explains why he stepped away from the world-famous franchise he created. “And it’s not much fun. You can’t experiment.”
“The issue was, ultimately, they looked at the stories and they said we want to make something for the fans. So I said all I wanted to do was tell a story of what happened, you know it started here and went there. And it’s all about generations, the issues of fathers and sons and grandfathers, it’s a family soap opera. They call it a space opera, but people don’t realize it’s actually a soap opera, and it’s all about family problems and that kind of… it’s not about spaceships.
So they decided they didn’t want to use those stories, they decided they were going to go do their own thing, so I decided fine, basically I’m not going try to… they weren’t that keen on having me involved anyway, but at the same time I am not going to, if I get in there I am just going to cause trouble. Cause they’re not going to do what I want them to do, and I don’t have the control anymore to do that anymore and all I’ll do is just muck everything up. So I said I will go my way, and let them go their way.”
I’ve been predicting this is what was going on behind the scenes for years, and I’m truly sad to now have it confirmed that I was right. Lucas walked away from the thing HE created because he was just sick and tired of entitled fan bs. I don’t blame him one bit. I think the critical part about the Vanity Fair video is when he talks about all the Peggs of the world “wanting it a certain way.” The conflict in fandom has always been about ownership. Some fans feel that buying tickets, buying toys, buying collectible is some sort of investment in the franchise that allowed them the right to have a say in its creation. To make George Lucas their b***h. What’s galling is the fact that Star Wars began as an experiment. Everything we all love about Star Wars exists because Lucas pursued a dream, didn’t listen to naysayers and took risks to push filmmaking forward. Ever since the the studios took away THX-1138 and American Graffiti, Lucas was determined that HE was going to call the shots on HIS movies. Fans SHOULD know this. Fans SHOULD have appreciated this because it’s the reason we have a Star Wars to love. But no. A bunch of self-important asses charged to the Internet (beginning with Mark A. Altman and his “my childhood has been raped” comments about the SE) and began a decades long campaign to make life miserable for George Lucas. So they could own it. They’ve said so. On originaltrilogy.net guys were openly soliciting other fans to steal prints of the original cuts of IV-VI so that “Star Wars will finally be OURS!” (Their words) This is a dismal day not only for Star Wars but for art. Here was an artist who spent the majority of his life creating arguably the 20th century’s most significant piece of cinema art and a bunch of insane, butthurt fans hounded him until he had to walk away. I know they’re gloating. I know they’ll keep gloating. When the day comes when Lucas finally passes away, the first thing they’ll say is, “Good. Hopefully now we’ll finally get the originals!” I guarantee it.
If this is going to turn into a bash ot.com (not net) thread, it’s not going to be around long.
I think some people are really reading too much into his remarks.
He has four billion reasons to be really happy right now. Not to mention a new wife.
Wow, ok, I had no memory of that. Is it on the Blu?
It’s on the DVD too.
Unless it’s an Easter Egg, or a Canadian thing, it ain’t. I just checked.
I think the DVD has Shak Ti getting it from Grevious, while the Blu Ray has the Anakin version. There wasn’t much ported over from the DVD’s.
Reason I brought up Hitler is because he is regarded as one of the worst people on earth. I could have put in Charles Manson or Jeffery Dalmer or whatever.
Please stop. Now.
Mind you, we’ve had loons around here in the past who really took things way past creepy, (they’re long gone thankfully) but most of us don’t hate the guy. Don’t confuse frustration or exasperation for hate.
My problem with many of you is the vitriol is like he deserves to be murdered, like Hitler or something, or like he’s molested a real living child. When it’s not even near the level of any of that. It’s a damned set of movies. Entertainment, fiction.
I don’t think he’s being angry so much as being facetious. He’s got four billion reasons to be a really happy camper these days.
And I’m not holding my breath for those experimental movies he’s been threatening to make the past three decades. 😉
Really obvious old school video game sound effects would complete that shot. 😉
According to this, yes.

You ought to use that shot of Anakin walking through the animatics.
