There was actually a better version of Star Wars than the upcoming blu-ray set.

Wouldn't the mirroring idea work better if Dooku had convinced Anakin to join him?

Oh, it would, but you forget that:

Much later, as I began to consider certain very strange scenes in the new trilogy, I realized that they were all elements of a hidden story, adding up to a precise opposite of the original trilogy

In the Bizzaroverse the Prequel Universe, opposites are encouraged.  The Hoth battle had walking tanks, the prequel Mars planet place had rolling tanks.  Exact and precise opposite.  The classic trilogy was well written and directed.  The prequel trilogy was brilliantly opposite of this!

I'm liking this new tool of logical argumentation.   I'd bet I could prove all sorts of new ideas!

Lazlo Bane - "Superman". The theme from Scrubs, which is still a fantastic show.

There are way too many songs about Superman

I played Lego Indiana Jones.  About all day.  It was a great break.

Went to see The Nutcracker yesterday.  Not just the music, but the whole production with the ballet.  Pretty effin' awesome!

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is like the Greatest Hits of classical music.  It is pretty sweet.

Matt, check your PM's.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! :D

 

I've two questions:

As seen in my picture below, Yoda has three ridges of skin on his eyelids. However, in one of the newly added blinks, he has four. The blink should look more like Yoda's closed eyes that are in the end of the scene, with the three ridges more stretched out, because in the newly added blink, the fourth ridge suddenly appears from out of nowhere (this is visible in motion). The first added blink, when Yoda says "No! No different, only different in your mind!" is perfect, because the eyelids actually stretch over his eyes, but this one looks a bit odd when you look at it closely. Can you fix this, Ady?

 

 

Are you kidding?  This all happens in the blink of an eye.  I'm putting a lump of coal in your stocking.

@Chew I'm amazed how many Sluggo oddities there are out there.

Thanks, Warb!  Merry Christmas!

... As far as I know, the seeker ball was recomped every time, and that would mean the lightsaber was as well, regardless of whether they visually changed it somehow as in this shot.

I'm gonna bet that it will be have to figured out shot by shot and there may not be any consistent technique where the wide shots have a new effect or the close-ups are merely re-mattes, for example.  

Would the inconsistencies of the work (for instance the shots where the snow speeder cockpit is translucent and other shots where it is fixed) be attributed by differences in ILM employees assigned to work on the shots?

Luckily, the Star Wars Holiday Special isn't that dumb!  HAHAHAHA..... uh...

Agreed.  Welcome aboard!

Erik, nice idea!  I've always wanted to see that matte painting used somewhere.

Is she embarrassed to be photographed with those purses and/or bags?  

She's not a very good nerd.  She definitely wouldn't like this one:

@All  No look at sluggo's butt

The music sounds great!

 I think the clip works fine without the orbital shot of Tatooine.  It is R2 and 3PO out in the desert.  Where else would it be other than Tatooine?  If you wanted to announce it is Tatooine through the music instead of a visual, you could drop in a very small segment of music from the original Star Wars score from when the droids were wandering in the Jundland Wastes.
