Maybe you could have Duke Dooku speak to Yoda about being a force-ghost in that meditation scene at the end because I've noticed this Christopher Lee dialogue from Wyrd Sisters (At 5.57)...
The first Batman annual I got given for christmas (I was five) had batman in Purple&Blue so that's what I consider to be the definitive look...
"Star Wars Cantina" (Imagined by Kids)
^ Still better acting than the PT.
"Star Wars - The Rescue" (Imagined by Kids)
^ An older clip by the same guys but it checks out.
*Sigh* Giger was one of the reasons why I asked for an airbrush and set of inks for my 12th birthday. This...
...is still one of my favourite artbooks. FYI He didn't just draw the Alien creatures and props...
It's a shame he didn't have that same level in involvement in the rest of the franchise because they would have been much improved IMO.

So sad I missed out on the awesome exclusive deal. So jealous of the 5 that got that code!
There is a difference. The code means no trial is necessary. The trial requires a credit card.
Okay fair enough, my apologies.

Anakin was an extremely annoying unlikable jerk.you've decided to picture Anakin as the way you want him to be. There's nothing in the OT to suggest he was beyond reproach apart from Obi-wan, an old man who was telling it how he saw it and had a hidden agenda anyway - why would he tell Luke his father was an arse if he wanted Luke to honour his death and kill the man apparently responsible?
We know Anakin was a great guy because Alec Guinness can actually act. When he says "and a good friend" it is said with such a glowing genuine warmth and wistful nostalgia, it simply couldn't have been any other way. On the other hand when Guinness replys to Luke's question of "How did my father die" with a deep intake of breath and roll of the eyes, we know we aren't gonna get the whole story.... again this is acting beyond what is on the page. The OT didn't just have a great script it had amazing actors reading it out... unlike the PT which had neither (Also having a good editor who knows a great performance helps too).

Was reading another interview Dave did for Nerdist and then this awesomeness came up:
Joel Aron and I very consciously decided to make it like what you saw in the ’70s... the blades in the prequels actually... taper to a very specific sword point.
Huh.
and holy mother of dragons, it would have been awesome if this had been hand animated and looked like this...
ITV (One of the older UK TV channels) has been running the PT over the last few weeks and I've dipped in to them when channel hopping. ITV seem to always chop down the films they show to 16:9... because they are philistines clearly. So these were 16:9 versions of the PT.
My gods, if you thought the PT looked bad in scope, then you ain't seen nothing yet. Zoomed like this they look soft to the point of cheesy and cheap daytime soap-opera and being closeup on the actors faces further reveals how horribly, horribly these films are edited together e.g. TPM uses shots of Cpt Paneka quickly glancing off camera at the crew/director/something while speaking (Like he was reading lines off of an idiot board). I hadn't seen how bad these moments are at the distnce that scope provides and the SFX looks considerably worse. So sloppy for films produced on these budgets.
Contrast that, with me repeatedly watching ANH footage (Almost frame-by-frame) for my 'Lost Workprint' cut and it's night and day. I reccomend the next time anybody watches ANH, they just train there eyes on Alec Guinness' face. There is a whole 'nother film going on there while the action is happening and the other actors are talking.

When Obi-Wan and Vader fight, it should be in slow motion.
With the lightsaber impacts done with voices like most of did in the playground.

The gag should be that the original version looked good and the additions are bad so I would use Harmy as a source for the original footage and the 2004 SE for the additions including the colar mismatch.

what video formats does the iPod classic A1136 support?
If I have to run to philly again I want something to watch while I am there.
That was disappointing.
Did your curiosity get the better of you?
It's pathetic really but this made me laugh 'til it hurt... and that ^ looks only slightly less complicated than a Virgin Trains loo.

IMO It's one of the few really nice shots in the SE but I don't feel strongly either way. I'd be happy to see it retained in some form but I wouldn't miss it greatly either.
I've not seen that Doc. Is it worth preserving at that quality or can you get it better some place else?
You could simply project 'Citizen Kane' and talk about all the ways in which every single shot, camera movement, edit, sound and VisFX shot redefined cinema? (I could anyway, until the class was asleep LOL)
The man is a genius, changed the nature of Sci-Fi cinema, by believing in and supporting those who wanted to change it (Then got fired for it).

Benjamin has already played young Harrison Ford in Blade Runner ;-)

'City Lights', 'Limelight' and 'Monsieur Verdoux' would be my picks. Nice that the Chaplin DVDs have both the original silent cuts and reworked sound cuts of his films... if only all studios gave us that choice LOL
Honest Trailer for AOTC...

Lovin' the castlist at the end.
Just got Morrissey's autobiography and found this performance of the first poetic page...
Peter Serafinowicz sings the first page... in the style of Morrissey!
^ Superb!
Cute.
Want it on a birthday card.
I liked the ROTJ Chewie hairdo but that was down to some special undercover disguise that was needed in SOTE if I remember correctly *not canon* ;-)
