I'm surprised TFN ever recovered from the whole "Yoda farts in Episode III" affair. You would think Lucasfilm would be more interested in facebook and twitter these days. Online forums are so last decade. ;)
And David, it's probably a liability for an aspiring documentary maker not to know what certain terminology means in the 21st century.
Wonderful! It's subtle enough that some people might not even notice the first time.
I like the taxi droid voice addition too. :)
I'm also amazed at how fast you create these shots. If Frink decided to use those blooper reel shots of Jango, (especially the "Singin' in the Rain" one) could you put the backgrounds in?

Jeez guys, learn to spell Kershner's name right. He directed The Empire Strikes Back for crying out loud! LOL
RoboCop 2 sucked and Kershner directed it so if the story is true, I'd believe her. I agree about the elements she was talking about and RoboCop really took a bad turn there but then again, I don't know what direction would be the best. I think TESB was a great collaborative effort from everyone which made it so great. Kershner may have been a good director in it but having seen Never Say Never Again and RoboCop 2 I wouldn't say he's that great.
To be fair, both films were troubled productions. Give "Eyes of Laura Mars", (which Lucas screened before hiring Kershner) a spin sometime.
Five bucks that the studio mandates a PG-13 cut. ;)
How do they find these things so damn fast? Is it some sort of automated process?
I knew about the syndicated live action show, and a Canadian(?) miniseries that aired on SciFi without much fanfare, but didn't know about the other animated versions.
That's a cool million or two right there? I doubt we will ever know how much they spent in total on all the advertising though.
The one thing in Lucasfilm's favor is they didn't have to make costly new film prints.
It was nigh impossible to not see ads for it on Cartoon Network. Other cable channels were pretty saturated with commercials the last week before release.
I'm only joking. Call him whatever you like.
Your Filoni obsession is starting to worry me though. ;)
We tend to call it Creepy Puppet Yoda(tm) around here. ;)
Did Robocop 3 ever see a wide release? I saw bootlegs of it at comic cons for a while. I had the impression it sat unreleased, and eventually went to video.
I found it amusing Robocop would later spawn a cartoon series and a toy line.
That's no pickle! It's....
There's plenty of Hasselhoff and even some sand in the Spongebob movie. ;)
Yeah, that's the one. Someone did that with one of my video masters once. ;)
It's a flat print, not widescreen. There's a flat Jedi print up as well.
The last auction photo made me cringe a bit. ;)
Since he's gone on record as having been misquoted by the SUN, it's kind of a moot point.
There are some career killer/life ruining films out there, but the prequels don't even come close.
Hilarious, even though I always associate that song with Halloween II.
Every time I see that R5 unit in the foreground of the street scene, I expect it's motivator to blow just like in Episode IV. ;)
Let's not fight old battles, or retread old arguments in this thread?
NSNA was essentially a remake of Thunderball, and they really couldn't deviate from that too much for legal reasons.
Movie sets are not always some happy family gathering, and tensions do spill over, sometimes at the wrong people. There are probably things that happened on the Empire set even Alan Arnold's excellent book smoothes over.
Ah yes, Hercules Vs. The Moon Men. The sandstorm scene from hell!
Too bad the sandstorm scene cut from Jedi is only on the Blu Rays.
You also could flip a couple of the SW shots and use them twice.
If you're going to use Adam Sandler, then I insist you use Sandy Duncan as well. ;)
Do you have Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? Some deadly sand dune scenes in that. Or the first Mummy movie?
She waited over twenty years to speak her mind? Easy to kick a guy when he's dead!
After the whole Jake Lloyd thing, I'll take this one with a big old block of salt. ;)
Let's discuss it when THX is done, and you have had a chance to rest. ;)
I like it, but I think shots from Dune would work better than from Last Crusade.
Isn't there a shot or two in Jaws of some little kid making a sandcastle?
