I wonder if Sir Alec says car in any of his films (he must do) that way OOBEEONE can inform Luke, "You will have to sell your car".
How about using Alec's "...your sister remains safely..." ROTJ line to change the dialogue to...
"You'll have to sell your sister... that's okay. I'm never coming back to this planet again"
Is anybody that worked on 'Elysium' working on EpVII 'cause that film looks stunning!
Went to see it earlier today and it might just be the most realistic CGI I've ever seen. I couldn't begin to say where the practical sets, models and locations ended and the FX began. Cinematography is beautiful, story is thought provoking and Jodie Foster is a wonderfully scary villian. Best Sci-Fi flick in years.
If the PT Battledroids had been like the Nazi-Police robots in Elysium, it wouldn't have taken Order 66 to finish the Jedi off.
Great blend of practical work and CGI = Realism
Hope all the rumours are true and this is the way the ST will be shot.
Might have already suggested this, but could it be changed to "Order 69"

It's too bad some people have never seen a classic 3D flick.
ANDY WARHOL'S: FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN 3D was a blast...

Greedo should be called Gringo.
I have confidence in Frink's skillz.
Yes! Han calls him Gringo and he has Eli Wallach's Tuco voice from 'Good The Bad and the Ugly'...
GRINGO: Hey, Blond!
HAN: Yes, Gringo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your
boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money.
Han sits down and the alien sits across from him holding
the gun on him.
GRINGO: If you save your breath I feel a man like you can manage it. And if you don't manage it, you'll die. Only slowly, very slowly old friend.
HAN: Yeah, but this time I got the money.
GRINGO: Hey! Hey everybody look! He's giving him the filthy money!
HAN: I don't have it with me. Tell Jabba...
GRINGO: I like big fat men like you. When they fall they make more noise. And sometimes they don't get up.
HAN: Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?
Han Solo slowly reaches for his gun under the table.
GRINGO: if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Gringo. Nothing!
HAN: Over my dead body.
GRINGO: When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
HAN: Yes, I'll bet you have.
Suddenly the slimy alien disappears in a blinding flash of
light. Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the
other patron look on in bemused amazement. Han gets up and
starts out of the cantina, flipping the bartender some coins
as he leaves.
HAN: Sorry about the mess.
EXTERIOR: SPACE.

This means the movies will only be in 3D if converted in post. I'm glad 3D isn't given a priority. It's a fad that has outstayed its welcome and needs to die as quickly as possible, IMO.
^ That.

Episode VII is officially being shot on 35mm film.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/23/star-wars-episode-vii-will-be-shot-on-35mm-film
It's being shot on film similar to what was used in the OT.
Kodak 500T 5219 tests:

This also makes my 35mm PT preservation work all the more important to finsih it and get it right.
So excited right now!
JJ will you marry me! ;-)
To me, hearing/seeing the Dreamworks logo says...
"Congratulations you've just paid to see a movie that you were hoping would be really good but which will only mildly disappoint you"
;-)
Where as the Fox Fanfare always comes with the feint suggestion that you may (Despite your brain telling you that it won't) be about to watch a movie with Lightsabers and Pulse Rifles in it ;-)

Gee whiz, this one is really taking a long time (assuming I understand correctly and it isn't done yet)! I thought it was supposed to be released in April of last year...
What's taking so long? The first one was awesome, and I really want to see this one and ROTJ:R.
There were a number of personal setbacks. It is now scheduled for the last quarter of 2013.
I hope you don't mind waiting a while for the next one, as Adywan will be working on RotJ:R, ANH: R HD, and all the prequels at the same time. But, assuming what he has planned is viable, it should be worth the wait :)
Are there any recent articles or blog posts telling the history of the ups and down, the lefts, the rights etc of this magnificent project?
I've been following it for about a year and while I'm super excited by ESB:R, I don't fancy reading back through 28 thousand posts on this forum to find out what happened before ;-)
The YouTube trailer for example is dated 20th May 2009 and the recent talk about Angel was news to me... so there's obviously been alot of developments in those years. So anybody care to fill in the johnny-come-latelys like myself and others?

Shame it's a bit rough and the audio cuts off, but otherwise I like it.

I would think the current iteration of the Lucasfilm Ltd. logo would be in there.
And Disney occasionally tweaks their logo for certain films, like Tron Legacy.
I know, I was just creating a worse case scenario really (Although it's a scenario that would be unsurprising). In all probability the Lucasfilm logo will be last before "A long time ag...".
The option I'd like best would be the fox fanfare played over the Disney castle logo (Unlikely but possible). It would have exactly the same feeling for me, as I don't consider the modern Fox logo to be SW either. But oldskool painted Fox, then oldskool Green Lucasfilm logo would be just a fantasy ;-)
But to be fair, if Disney make EpisodeVII better than the OT then from that point on I'll consider whatever combination of sound and visuals they used as the way SW should start lol.
Thought I'd do a quick mockup of how Star Wars might open from now on...
(^ Click image to play video)
Maybe I'll watch this video once a week for the next 2 years until I get used to it ;-)
But please Disney, just write Fox a blank cheque to use their logo and fanfare!
^ The moral of that story is don't get David Koepp to write your screenplays because on the balance of probabilities they are going to be bad.

("Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it...")
I know it's tempting to say that because the PT sucked, then the ST is quite likely to suck too.
But I don't buy that, the PT was a perfect storm of awfulness on every creative level. It's just not possible to be that bad again. The only thing the PT pulled off with style was in creating a roadmap for future filmmakers like JJ showing them how NOT to make a Star Wars film. I think the whole film world has learnt from that chapter in history and will do everything it can to see it is never repeated.
Found these on the intraweb...
As is said above, take your lumps and bumps and move on, don't let anyone stop you. If it's something you still believe in, go right ahead with your project. But in future if you want your project received with more warmth... instead of making your first post like this:

STAR WARS: behind the eye is a new fan documentary that I want to make that will end all the other fan documentary's such as deleted magic building empire and returning to jedi this is one out of three documentary's containing footage from official documentary's deleted scenes and other material
...I'd suggest something more like this...

'STAR WARS: BEHIND THE EYE' is a new fan documentary that I want to make.
The fantastic work by editors such as Jamie Benning on projects like 'Building empire' and 'Returning To Jedi' has inspired me to do something similar. This edit will be incorporating some of the latest footage not available when those projects were compiled and where possible will be in glorious HD!
This will be the first FanEdit I've attempted so I'd appreciate everyone's advice on what is the best software to use. Also if you can suggest footage and ideas that would be fantastic!
More deatils to follow Star Wars fans!
Sounds better right? Some basic formatting would've hepled for a start, rather than a spew of lowercase words. Either that or hire a PR management team ;-)
December 2015 would very nicely fill The Hobbit shaped void left from christmas 2014. The Xmas after LOTR:ROTK sucked ass, this time we'll have something even better to look forward too the year after!
No never heard of them. Love the deadpan humour and his voice sounds like Steven Wright.
Very funny look at AOTC...
This is the best new thread on this site for sooo many reasons. I'm enjoying every minute since the opening salvo in post 1.
This ^ is very exciting work! Not just switching up a couple of scenes but skillfully weaving seemingly disperate elements together in a bold new and cohesive way. Awesome job. Even in this rough demonstration I can see how everything is going to flow beautifully. You've got me hooked on this project now.
Couple of points...
The suitcase scene ranks as one of the worst in AOTC (Stiff competion I know) so I perhaps wouldn't open with it. However it's mericifully brief in your edit. There is nothing that can't be covered in the crawl. The next scene in the Theed palace has more of a spark.
You could also open with Obi-Wan listening in on Dooku's plan, then cut to Padme talking with the Queen on Naboo. Just an option.
After the geonosis opening are you going to move to the assassination/bombing on Coruscant? and is Padme going to be pro-army in this edit? You could recut this scene to have her proposing an Army after witnessing what Dooku is up to on Geonosis...
This 35 minute condensing of all the Han, Luke, Leia etc footage from the SW Holiday Special got posted on one of my SW threads on http://www.fanedit.org. All of the singin, dancing, cooking etc has be trimmed nicely.
By a guy/girl called 'stomachworm'. If you've never made it through the 2 hour car crash that was that show, then this is the way to view it. I would use the phrase "All of the killer, none of the filler" but as Alan Partridge once said "That would be bullsh*t". There is no killer in the SW Holiday Special.

Hi Ryan

Oh nice thanks, I was right about the title card lol. Maybe it was ESB or ROTJ that had the white border? I was indeed in the Granada region.
I don't remember any of those adverts though. Either my VHS was taped from a different broadcast or perhaps my Dad/Older-Brother didn't record the adverts.
I fondly remember the ITV title cards before and after the adds from my home VHS. Anybody got screengrabs just for nostalgia's sake?
I seem to remember it was this image...
...with possibly a white bar down the left handside with the old ITV logo and text. But my memory could be playing tricks.
Would be amazing to get a download of an old VHS. Then it could be recreated adverts-and-all from a nice higher-definition source like Harmy's but cropped to 4:3 and pan and scanned. Would be a sepia tinged treat.
Wonder what the adverts were... probably Nescafe, Castlemaine XXXX, Tunes and Milk Tray lol
Speaking of Tunes, heres a SW ad spoof from the mid 90s (I believe)...
