Can any audio/editing gurus tell me if it's worthwhile redoing them at 48Khz, 24 bit?

The higher the bit rate the better I always say! But then I have no idea what I'm talking about so. =P

Awesome stuff, thanks for the new clip Ady! I'm just wondering though, will you be adding grain to the still photo elements? The background behind the hologram seems to sit perfectly still compared to the live elements that seem to breath because of the film's natural grain. I noticed the same with the new bridge during the "First catch of the day" scene. I think a small bit of grain would go a long way to making the elements feel like they were filmed. Oh and awesome job on the opening bridge explosion! =)

Dave's pretty good about keeping with these things. That's why Grevious and Anakin can never meet in the series because they first met in ROTS. It seems to me that the only reason Qui-Gon is able to communicate with Obi-Wan is that area they're in acts as a conduit that allows him to appear but only in that location. So later on when Yoda reveals he's been talking to Qui-Gon, Obi-wan is still justifiably taken aback because Qui-Gon was able to materialize on his own.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Let us not forget:

Jedi padawan Sha'a Gi (Seriously.)

Yes I think Tobar is cheating also ;)

Maybe you ought to take Han's advice... ;)

I always wondered if they were the ones behind Han's ribbing of Luke about Leia. Thinking about it, I also wouldn't be surprised if they were behind, "Let the Wookiee win!"

Let's not forget Whorm Loathsom from the Clone Wars movie, and Savage's brother Feral. I enjoy the show, but they really need to stop with the lame names.

The most wild idea which is really lame to me is darth maul's brother, supposedly a story idea Katie Lucas came up with.

Actually they're the ones that try to reign in George's crazy ideas. =P A lot of the really weird stuff comes directly from George. Like the Maul's brother idea, that was actually George's idea. They just had Katie write it. Which is good because she's turned out to be a pretty good writer.

Here's a video where the director of the show talks about George's idea. (It's also interesting to note that it looks like they used the old pink transfer of TPM at the beginning there)

I agree with the first post, I always liked Luke's original blade color.

I'm finding that I enjoy the more independent-ish films from studios like Focus Features that only play in one theater in town, than I do the big releases that are in all the multiplexes.

Definitely digging the 1159. =)

To further the thread derailage, I was looking forward to Green Hornet being made into a film.  That is, until I saw it was - yet another - Seth Rogen fratboy vehicle.  Too bad, man.  A huge missed opportunity.

Have you actually gone out and seen the film yet? It's actually pretty good.

I can't ever get past the voices on PAL.  It's just not what I'm used to.

Yeah, it really grates on my ears. So here's hoping someone converts it! =)

Looks great, have you checked to see how the setting suns look?

These samples are awesome dj! Think we could maybe see a shot of the gas giant Yavin?

LOL!

I'll throw my lot in with those digging the v3 samples.

Yeah no, I actually really enjoy the political episodes myself as well.

There are a few of us here who watch it, though it's never discussed for some reason. =P

Yeah the one trooper when they're talking about the new BT-16, I like the one trooper's response, "Yeah some of the other guys were telling me about about it, they say it's...it's quite a thing to see."

The first half of this season was pretty slow with a lot of politics. =P But this second half is gonna really pick up especially with this nightsister trilogy that just started.

"Rather than do some angry, socially relevant film," he answered, "I realized there was another relevance that is even more important--dreams and fantasies, getting children to believe there is more to life than garbage and killing and all that real stuff like stealing hubcaps--that you could still sit and dream about exotic lands and strange creatures. Once I got into Star Wars, it struck me that we had lost all that--a whole generation was growing up without fairy tales. You just don't get them anymore, and that's the best stuff in the world--adventures in far-off lands. It's fun.

"I wanted to do a modern fairy tale, a myth. One of the criteria of the mythical fairy-tale situation is an exotic, faraway land, but we've lost all the fairytale lands on this planet. Every one has disappeared. We no longer have the Mysterious East or treasure islands or going on strange adventures.

"But there is a bigger, mysterious world in space that is more interesting than anything around here. We've just begun to take the first step and can say, 'Look! It goes on for a zillion miles out there.' You can go anywhere and land on any planet.” - George Lucas April 1977

"It was made for kids. It was made for twelve year olds, in fact." - John Dykstra July 1977

I think the problem is that we're so used to today's entertainment for children which is incredibly dumbed down and shallow.

That's not the same sound as in the book.

And thank goodness for that!

That's what this is for 1anakin. But while we're on the subject, did Ady ever post comparisons for ESB? The first post only has ANH and TPM.

Sounds like a good sig for the both of you. =P

Well that's pretty far in the future to speculate but I could see Katie Lucas possibly taking over. As for their income, you forget they make a lot of money through ILM and Skywalker Sound.
