I have a bunch of trailers for the original three films.  If you guys find a good lab I'd be happy to send them a reel for scanning.

 

If you can get a good image, does the sound matter that much?  What if you could scan a lo-fade print of SW (not SE) but it has a foreign language track?

Are these 16mm or 35mm?

You are right, JR, but one of us actually has to have the disc around to actually see what they say.  Anyone?

I was going to check on the quote for the CGI EpI Yoda, but then I remembered I sold my prequel discs last year.  All I remember was that there was talk of the possibility of releasing the footage.  I don't think a box set was mentioned.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the Legacy series takes place 100 years after ROTJ.  From JediNet.com:

The future of Star Wars is here in an all-new series set more than a century after Return of the Jedi and the New Jedi Order!

The Jedi Temple is attacked, an Emperor is betrayed, and the Sith are born anew! A lot can happen in a hundred years, but all of the above happens just in this first issue! Not since Luke Skywalker first stepped aboard the Millennium Falcon has the galaxy seemed like such a vast, exciting, dangerous place!

See, they had to take the series that far out in order for people to accept that they wouldn't see Luke, Han, or Leia.

 

Isn't that pretty much the same plot of the prequels?  And we know how well that turned out.

Sorry if this has been asked already but when can we expect a DVD release for this? 

 Always in motion is the future.  Ady doesn't have a deadline yet.  I can't blame him for that as he has had to go 'back to the drawing board' more than a few times with this project.

He'll let us know when he is good and ready.

I've wondered this as well.  I've hoped that if George just re-shot the classic trilogy, he could stop molesting the originals.

However, I don't think we would be so lucky as to get a 1080i Blu-ray version of the classic trilogy as a result of a reboot of the trilogy.  It will still be ignored and we will just be more annoyed.

Sluggo if there's still space, I'd like to be added to the PiF list.

 

Thanks!

 Sure, PM me with your addy and I'll send one along.

Seems that way.

 There seems to be absolutely nothing new about the Prequels release than their first individual release.  Only they are boxed together.  The Classic trilogy seems to fit the description of the GOUT release.  Also the only difference is that they are boxed together.

If we get some new crap-tacular cover art, then that might be the only real difference from what we already have.

Here are the contents of the previouos prequel releases from shop.starwars.com:

Episode I

"This 2-disk DVD set of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace features commentary by writer-director George Lucas, producer Rick McCallum and more. Exclusive deleted-scenes documentary features seven new sequences. "The Beginning: Making Episode I," an all-new hour-long documentary film culled from over 600 hours of footage, including an insider's look at Lucasfilm and ILM during production. An award-winning twelve-part Web documentary series, never-before-seen production photo gallery, five featurettes, two multi-angle animatics of scenes in progress, "Duel of the Fates" music video featuring John Williams, DVD-ROM weblink to exclusive Star Wars content and much more! Available in widescreen anamorphic format."

Episode II

"This 2-disk DVD set of Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones features commentary by Writer-Director George Lucas; Producer Rick McCallum; Editor and Sound Designer Ben Burtt and more.

While we are on the subject of the approach to Cloud City, the 2004 Empire DVD has a cool animation of the Falcon breaking through the clouds to land before the DVD goes to its main menu. It might be worth looking at as a possible addition to the movie.

 A little something from page 52

*cough, cough*

Don't forget that the PG-13 rating wasn't created until after ROTJ came out.

Not that the OT would have gotten the 13 anyway.

So, back on topic...

George already had taken the Indy saga in his "whole different place".  He ought to let Spielberg do it his way if they do an Indy 5.

I wish I wouldn't have announced this yet, only because I think it's going to take a little longer than expected. I recently got involved into a lot of work and it will be the fall at earliest before I can tackle this. Glad to see people are excited about it though.

 Don't sweat it.  Just let this thread slip into the murky haze of the dozens and dozens of projects in the works or on the backburner here and later on, you drop a warhead on us.

The Editdroid's subs are the same as the laserdiscs.

There is a thread somewhere on here with references to the subs.  I'll look around...

I wasn't aware of it being out there.  I've only seen the new toys in the stores.

Yeah, the Greedo font isn't quite right.  It looks close...

The detail on the caps are pretty good at that size.

I've got one more spot on the PiF list...

So when can I play Lego: Willow on my Wii?

*Note: It is actually the alternate universe Sluggo that has the Wii.  The real Sluggo still thinks Wii was when the Allies defeated Nazi Germany.

And if the CW just tanks, then Lucas has the excuse of saying it couldn't beat the Dark Knight and not address what ever flaws the CW actually has.

All right, back on topic.  Are we talking about plugging ANH scenes into AOTC or the other way around.  And was that the original Reborn plan?

If only there were more pictures of Yoda on this page...

The line fits the plot and delivers a sense of danger to the audience.  I think if there is a gripe about the line is that Vader delivers it so causually, as if he had been talking with all his admirals about young Skywalker earlier that day.

Thanks for that, Fang.  I didn't know Sam Jackson was in it.

.... Lucas is currently envisioning a six-season arc for Clone Wars with possible more feature-film sequels in that time.

 So could this mean a new movie per season?  Six movies seems to fit Lucas's style.

And CO and Fang Zei, when are you guys going to get some avitars?  I always like reading you guy's posts; it just would be nice to have a 'face' to go with the post.  But I digress...

So if these three destroyers that are being overshadowed by the Executor,

 

why can we only see two of them?
