I want to reconstruct the original german movie tralier for ANH in the best quality possible. The problem is, that it's 16:9 pan and scan, and it's not possible to do a scope version of it. So I'd have to blow up a picture that has only 816 pixels in height to 1080 pixels. A 720p picture has only 544 pixels of visible information when you substract the black bars. That's why I was asking for a 1080p version.

The real question is does he want the 2011 SE, just color corrected? Adywan's version is the 2004 SE. Or does he want a Despecialized, or a half-specialized, or whatever.

Yeah, maybe I overreacted, too. But all Iwanted was a simple "yes" or "no" answer, not a lecture in quality. Or grammar.

And I respect Harmy's work, as well as everyone elses to preserve the movies we love.

If I knew how to do it myself, or had the time to learn it, I wouldn't have asked in the fist place.

You don't know, what I need it for, so can you please accept, that I'm looking for a 1080p version?

Because Harmy's isn't FullHD, it's 720p. I'm looking for 1080p.

Is there a color corrected FullHD version of ANH out there?

Just like old VHS times. "You want everything in english? Go get the UK VHS." ;)

Stupid question: Do you really use the DVD or do you use the 2004 HD Broadcast version? Because it would be more useful to have the HD Version color corrected. Like what Adywan did with ESB prior to his ESB:R work.

Any progress on the seamless branching, or will it have only the german titles? Which would be fine by me.

Well, THIS is what Episode VII should be like:

But it's a great looking movie. It has a point. It's rather bold.

But a Stardestroyer is a unique shape only associated with... destroying stars.

Star Destroyers don't literally destroy stars, you know. And anyways, they can always be renamed.

Just played Grim Fandango. Awesome game.

Another goodie from the CE2 panel. "YUB NUB" with the English lyrics. Just listen to those cheers when a certain Sebastian Shaw appears :) Let's just hope Disney was listening....

I've always liked that little ship. Maybe the Rebels ship is a homage?

^ They really went to town on the costumes, voices and FX.

I wanted to see more of a particular new face and it was weird seeing so many old faces playing 'different' roles in exactly the same way (Ty Olsson didn't really modify his Aaron Kelly performance, though i do like look at him. presumably he is playing his dad or something??).

Although I don't believe a God exists, I'm fascinated by storys based on religion and/or god. Like the movie "The Prophecy", or "Supernatural" or the book "The Jesus-Video" by Andreas Eschbach (I don't know if it's available in other languages than German).
But the God-Theme in BSG was never such a great aspect to me.
Since the classic BSG was an action show, while the storys and characters stays hollow all the time, the new BSG is a character-show.

I've never seen a sci-fi-show before, that got so deeply into the characters as BSG. As a fan of Star Trek, my favorite show was DS9, since they tried to give the characters more depth. But they failed, because of the episodic storylines. In Season 4 there was this episode "Hard Time", where O'Brien is imprisoned for 20 years in a virtual prison. In real time he stayed there only a few hours. At the end of the episode he tried to commit suicide, because of his (not real) memories. But in the next episode O'Brien was all love-peace-and-happines again. That's what bothered me.

Not so BSG. You see the rise and fall of characters and always the question comes to mind 'what would you do?' (regarding Admiral Cain, f.e.)

The first two seasons of BSG were awesome. Great storys, action and pacing were good, and ending season 2 with a "One-year-later" was fascinating. Then came season 3. The "getting-off-new-caprica" storyline was okay, but then the season began to suck. Stuffed with filler episodes like "Hero" it got more and more boring. But suddenly the last 15 minutes of the last episode of season 3 made it worth to watch it all. 15 minutes that saved a whole season.

Then came "Razor". A very good story, a mysterious new character, and an old hybrid prophesying all of season 4 (that's why you should watch "Razor" after season 3 and not in the middle of season 2), in a very cryptic way, of course. And "classic" cylons in action, yay.

Season 4 was awesome again. The series ended with a solution I never expected. Okay, maybe it was God who led Kara's hands but it could've been a coincidence, or whatever.

To sum it up (I said it before and I'll say it again): in my eyes BSG is the BEST. SCIFI. SHOW. ON. TV. EVER.

I tried every Photoshop trick there is. Result was never satisfying.

I'm searching for this promo picture in Hi-Res...

...for many years now.

[EDIT]...and I just saw, that I have already posted this in the Thread about two years ago...

I'll never understand why they decided to add the thing with the drink in the comic. Am I supposed to believe he drinks through the grill in his mask or something?

I've read the comics (until the January issue I think) and watched the Series. I like both very much.
