Arbitan vs Professor Richard Pierson vs Dick Tracy: New York sometime in the 1930s

Wow that Leia clip is cool. For most projects music is gonna be added on anyway so the tiny tiny bit of distortion will be covered over anyway. Great Job.

Arguably, you had to have seen Star Wars to know what was going on in ESB. And the Holiday Special to know who Boba Fett was. ;)

Colson's death was the catalyst for the Avengers to start acting as a team. It wasn't just some throwaway tie in reference. I've only seen bits of Iron Man on tv and none of the other films before I saw Avengers, and had no trouble figuring out what was going on. Haven't even followed any Marvel comics in over a decade.

I didn't see The Holiday Special animated segment until a good 30 years into my life and never missed it. The equivelant would be if those two imperials officers instead of whuspering "We don't need their scum" had said "Ooh look there's Boba Fett, I wonder if he still rides that giant space brontosaurus?" ;-)

Re Avengers: Exactly Coulson's death was supposed to be the emotional climax of the film for characters and audience but it wasn't for me. I was just thinking why is everyone losing there sh*t over this minor character. I was struggling to remember when half the Avengers had even met Coulson and the other half of the Avengers had literally never met or heard of him prior to the film. Now if Nick Fury had died at that point I'd be right there with the characters on the same emotional page.

So, what do you guys think about this?

http://geektyrant.com/news/2013/4/15/new-star-wars-reclamation-series-holds-clues-to-episode-vii.html

FFS no!!

I don't want EpVII to be like the f*ckin' Matrix sequels where you had to buy the animated DVD and a videogame or you wouldn't even have a clue what was going on (Not that you would anyway).

While I'm on the subject, who gve the tiniest sh*t when agent Coulson died in the otherwise excellent Avengers film? Only the people who had watched every other Marvel movie, every post credits scene and a load of DVD extras, that's who.

I shouldn't have to buy a DVD, comic, tie-in book or webisode to understand the new Star Wars film. As somebody once almost said "Painfully bad money making ephemera is temporary... film is forever".

I don't know what you could do for Deathstar going to hyperspace I mean would it go into a fast spin or something?

It's actually really hard to visualize this...

Looking good anyway keep up the good work.

Problem is the deleted Vader hall scene needs to take place right after Tarkin says set your course for Alderaan but before the next scene in Mos Esiley. So Hyperspace cutaway was one solution.

I'm now thinking about pushing back all the DS scenes to earlier in the film to eliminate this bottle neck problem without any wierd shots of the DS going to warpspeed.

No 1080p HD version?

No, file sizes needed to provide worthwhile image quality are just too damn big for easy distribution IMO.

e.g. I'd much rather have a 4GB 720p file than a 4GB 1080p file.

I hope someday someone will edit this film to make it less like the other Indiana Jones films and more like a 1950s Science Fiction film.

More flying saucer aliens not less and loads of Theremin.

I suggested making it like a silent sped up Keystone Kops short to another editor the other week.

B&W 1950s style would be awesome too. Start it with a period short about the 'Red menace' lol.

^ Last verse:

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work. Just watch me now
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush
And that, life is, just to die
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh
That wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
And wouldn't turn around and hate it

Are you going to add in some of the new rinzler ebook clips to the project?   

I thought that was just ROTJ. Is there ANH material too?

If it's of a decent enough quality I'll use anything.

Bionic masked Vader hunting down Jedi was one of the unfulfilled promises of the the PT.

I really do hope it's live action and the suit isn't the crap one from ROTS.

Gaddamnitarghh! Don't get me started on that ROTS suit. "This is gonna be the first symetrical Vader! Because we spotted a flaw in the old mask". Well done fools it doesn't look like Vader now. Rant over.

There has to be a live action Star Wars show somewhere. It's long been discussed and cheaper FX technology coupled with increased TV budgets have progressed to the point where it's possible.

Not sure if Vader is the way to go. I think there's mileage in the 'Droids' format of different characters each season.

Hindsight is always 20/20. So I would go back to the original script meetings and steer the conversation into a new direction. For example, they were discussing Had Abbadon for the setting of Jedi. The theme of the movie was to be a more primitive people overthrowing a technological regime, and Endor was a moon over Had Abbadon. I would have consolidated the final battle to simply be a group of enslaved aliens on Had Abbadon being feed by the Rebels, including Luke, Han, and Leia, and using their knowledge of the imperial complex to infiltrate it and take out the Emperor. Meanwhile, the Imperial fleet would engage the Rebel fleet over the planet. Luke and Vader would have a final confrontation in the presence of the Emperor, while the complex slowly destroyed itself from within. The outcome is largely the same, as in the completed movie, and there could even be a few Ewoks in the mix of freed alien slaves.

^ Short Translation = "Change planet name from 'Endor' to 'Had Abadon' and keep everything else the same." ;-)

I would've opened it with Luke thinking that Leia would always love Han, so Luke goes back to his roots on Tatooine and hooks up with his Academy sweetheart. She's now a single mum of a cute kid that says "Yippee" alot (It's like music) and he acts as a surrogate father and takes them both on picnics to beggar's canyon. He also finds time to rescue some workers from a burning spice refinery (The refinery was experimenting with a deadly form of toxic spice!).

Meanwhile Leia goes off to rescue Han but we don't see her for the rest of the movie. Instead we follow Lando who has got a low paid job in the Emperor's palace. One day, Lando uses his scoundrely ways to hack into Palpatine's computer and increase his wage packet.

Palpatine and Vader catch him but before the Dark Lord can force choke Lando, Palpatine yells "Stop Lord Vader... he has done well". Palpatine realises that Lando has the skills to build a new Death Star and Lando just happens to have some sketches for one that he scribbled on the back of some Sabacc cards.

Palpatine, sensing that Luke could still "Be a threat to us", sends Lando to swap Luke's new green Lightsaber crystal with an evil red one. The first time Luke ignites his red saber he falls under the power of the Dark side. This manifests itself by his clothes getting all dirty and him not shaving.

On the otherside of the galaxy the Death Star II is complete but Lando has designed it too well and so it becomes sentient (Like frickin' Skynet) and turns it's own laser on the Imperial Fleet. It then kills Palpatine and Vader and lays in a course of Courscant, bent on destruction!

Luckily back on Tatooine, Luke happens to fall into a garbage masher at Watto's junkyard (It's like music) and just before dying, Ben's ghost visits him. Luke stops being evil, busts out with his saber that has magically turned green again and heads off to stop the Death Star (Some pitdroids cheer as his X-Wing takes off).

Luke's X-Wing arrives at the Death Star II and heads straight for the thermal exhaust port (That he knows all Death Stars must have by law). Secretly he has loaded some of the deadly toxic spice into a proton torpedo and fires it into the death star's main reactor. As the evil space station is melting and dying Luke rescues Lando (Apparently Lando is forgiven all the evil stuff he's done because he's lovable Lando).

Luke lands back on Bespin and Lando waves him goodbye. Luke then uses his force power to super compress some Tibana Gas into a Japor Snippet necklace (It's like music) which he gives to his Academy sweetheart in the final scene back on Tatooine. Just as this is happening Leia and Han get back from Jabba's palace. Luke's new fiancee shows off the beautiful necklace to Leia who looks obviously crushed. In turn Han sees Leia's reaction and realises she loved Luke all along. He utters the words "I won't get in the way" and walks off into the desert.

As the suns set on Tatooine everyone has a party/parade at Jabba's palace with dancing Jawa's singing "Yub nub". Luke symbolicly hands Jabba a glowing white electric globe that is never explained in any way and Jabba holds it aloft and shouts "Peace!" in Huttese and we iris in on the credits (It's like music).
