... the pre-ANH crawl and the Star Destroyer flyby.  Aside from being of non-anamorphic resolution, it looks quite good.  Frankly, I'm amazed that they actually went to the trouble of scanning that shot and putting it in at all.  I wonder what kind of source it came from . . .

I think we had a rather lengthy and heated discussion about this when the GOUT came out in 06.  And everyone survived!

***Hi-Res Star Wars Image Submission Thread***
Time

Hello!  I don't normally post on this forum, but I think all you guys are doing great work.  Especially Adyman.

I'm hoping someone can help a noob like me.  I need a hi-rez pic of Han Solo from ESB.  Either a publicity pic or a production pic or a still from the movie.  I have seriously had NO luck with google or yahoo or bing.   Does anyone have a secret stash of pics you could share?  You would be greatly adored in my family lore for years to come.

Someone should even be able to recreate the spacing and such if you look REALLY close at Sluggo's pictures.

In an earlier post Sluggo posted a High resolution image with all the spacing and text worked out.

I've done a version using that image trying to get the right perspective.

It's here: http://noneinc.com/SWB-Crawl_Tests/SWB-Crawl-002.mov

comments welcomed.

 

Thanks none!  Your render gave me the chills.  I've worked my butt off to get the thing right with the very limited reference pics available.  I seriously made an early mock-up of this original crawl over 10 years ago.  I was working with OCP to have it available on his awesome Deleted Magic, but it never came together.  It would be great to see this done for Star Wars Begins

As far as the scoring goes, would you consider using the piece that is believed to have been the temp track Lucas used as a guide to how Williams scored the thing?  It was a Korngold piece for the score of The Seahawk.

What we like about the Prequels

I'd say the prequels are great... on paper. It just do not work on screen the way all the cool elements were put together.

 

Sorry I really wanted to be more positive, but you know...

I think I agree with this.  Generally, I think the overall story of the Sith infiltration the Senate and plotting a huge galactic conflict with warring sides (each secretly led by the Sith) with the Jedi trapped in the middle is a very cool idea.  The execution of these ideas in the movie was rather poor.

The novels weren't that bad if I was able to imagine the acting instead of watching it on the screen.  And the bridge novels between the prequels weren't too bad either.
