The teaser looked really good. It is a cool peek into what is to come.

Only complaint: the audio cut out about 2/3rd of the way through.

I am glad to see that this is still ongoing. The black and white is a great idea for setting the flashbacks apart.

Anyone have any good scans of the art on the back of the collectable coin booklet that is in stores. And while I am at it, does anyone have a good scan of the poster art used on the collectible tins that Hasbro is selling figures in? Particularly the prequel ones. The OT tins have the John Alvin art on them and most of us already have those.

Sure, go for it.

One of my favorite entries last time was an animated gif so I'm ok with bending the rules a bit.

I agree with Zombie on this. It seems likely that the opening adventure is taking place to stop Soviet Agents from stealing something from that Army base. Then the story continues with the Mesoamerican stuff.

Remember the movies always have had a mini-adventure and the main one.

Raiders: The fertility idol in South America and then the Lost Ark
Temple of Doom: The ashes of that oriental guy in Club Obi-wan then the Shankara stones.
Last Crusade: The Cross of Coronado then the Holy Grail.

Why should this next movie be any different?

I had no idea that the X0 team was so cute. I want to scratch MeBe behind the ears. Soon as you guys finish, you get treats!

Seriously, I'd love to see a bit more work with ROTJ than another ANH. With the GOUT, Ady's and DE's versions, plus Paulisdead's version, I'm good on ANH for a long while.

NEW CONTEST!

Now today is the day that (supposedly) love is in full bloom and creatures from all across the galaxy turn their thoughts from rebellion to romance.

The current contest consists of capturing a scene celebration romance in the Star Wars galaxy. Jabba cuddling with a Jawa? Greedo and Han kissing and making up? Whatever you want, as long as it is funny and touching. Or just funny.

The rules:
1. Have it done by the March 7th. That should be enough time.
2. Keep it clean. My contest and that's the way I like it.
3. Items from any movie or cartoon or whatever would be accepted. Just make it funny.

The Prizes:
Since it is a PiF contest, I'll send winner (pending it is done on time*) a full version of Adywan's "Star Wars: Revisited" with cover and printed disc plus a few other DVD's that I am still tracking down.

Good luck and have fun.

*The winner might have to wait just a bit if the DVD is delayed.

I can't decide whether we are more disappointed when they release a new set or when they don't.

What was the original like, then? I'm curious.
Still, it could be added. It would look better as the ending, I think.

KFan, try here. I put up some screen caps of what the original and the reshoot shots were.

Creating a reconstructed 70mm version of Empire is a worty project just waiting for someone to jump in and get it done.

The ending shot needs all the ships jumping into lightspeed, and then fade to the credits. In early versions it used to be that way, but for some reason it has been changed.

Which early versions are you referring to?

Not to be picky, but the original version has always been pretty clear for up to 17 years until the change. The idea of the Emperor being hidden and unknown is largely influenced by the prequels.

3. Are the making of interviews that were on the VHS before the films available in widescreen? (I only ever had the P&S VHS)

No the interviews are pan and scan on the widescreen tapes as well.

Laserman also gave some advice on the process in this thread.

That was a special moment that will live in my heart forever.

I credited sluggo for his text.

if you can squint, you see the credits includes "Sir Alec Guinness" (knighted in 1959)
and includes "with James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader"

a. because I wanted to make those changes
b. to further reassure folks that this is my doing - not borrowed

Not necessary but thank you!
