Ô_o No. In fact just a few weeks ago they began shooting for the new segments. It's getting a makeover.
TK99 said:Rumor I heard was that GL won't even start the SW Blue-ray release project till after the next Indy movie staring Shia LeBoeuf.
Bologna. George has said that the next Indy if they made one would be INDY not Mutt. Harrison Ford just recently revealed that he's up for another and that they're all just waiting on George to come up with the next McGuffin.
Thanks sketchrob!
So let's see...I believe he's using the Falcon for the canyon, the hangar and the space slug.

Here you go vaderios =P: 
bkev said:Depends on the showing. Images don't have to be separate colors anymore for 3-D.
They never had to be in the first place. The first 3D films used polarized lenses like we use today. It wasn't until the 1950's when they switched to the cheaper red and blue glasses.
oo nice, wasn't sure if they'd be DL. =)
AxiaEuxine said:Dunedain said:I've seen comments from some rather knowledgeable people that the official 2006 Star Wars trilogy GOUT DVD's appear to have surprisingly accurate colors (no weird color alterations from the original appearance). So they could help a lot as a guide to color correction, setting proper original white points/white levels (I think that's what it's called), etc. in the HD broadcast of the 2004 versions. :)
wait, this cant be right. does anyone have the 2006 release? Were the colors restored to some normalcy?
He's talking about the GOUT.
hahahaha, awesome!
Wow...I was literally left speechless and stunned after watching the trailer. If you guys can, see it on an HD television...it's....wow.
vaderios said:They could easily use Jurassic Park's CG to make these whatever alien dinos.
-Angel
They did. As was stated already the rontos were made from the brachiousaurus model used in Jurassic Park. Same with the scurriers, they were made from the velociraptor model.
Janskeet said:I never liked this shot:
It's obvious that balcony used to be a closed wall because why would they leave an open entrance into cloud city from outside. Doesn't it rain on cloud city? PErhaps this could be changed to look more convincing.
I really wish you would at least try to look around a little before posting Janskeet. Right there in Ady's first post there's a side by side comparison of that shot.
Nice length, can't wait until the release. =)
Ooh, what's the story on that stand-in newspaper?
EyeShotFirst said:Jedi Dark Knight said:Jar-Jar? "I have a bad feeling about this"...as a side note: I can't imagine what pushed GL to creat a creature such as Jar Jar....he could have gone with something "chewie" like and have that character be the "Chewie" of the PT for Anakin, of course he could have died at the end or what ever but why pursue a creature so.....utterly..........OK! Back to ESB.
Among one of those things of doing "something just because you can", how about showing the googles of the AT-AT that recognize the power generator be more flashhy? hehehe ok, turbolaser time now.....
I know how to make jar jar stand able. Re-dub his voice. Ah ha. He can keep a Jamaican accent but a cooler Jamaican accent. Like he's about to roll up a big fatty in the middle of tattooine. More like Hermes from Futurama.
You mean Kit Fisto from the Clone Wars. =P (They're both voiced by the same actor)
JediMasterFisher said:God this week is going to suck waiting for this trailer...
I'm with you. I was hoping to get some money in before now to donate because things have been tight lately. Ah well, I'll still pitch in as soon as I can.
Jedi Dark Knight said:Certain things that are set at the begining of the film are gone, like the whole Kamino finding: since there's no Dex and Obi-Wan can't find the planet at the archives are we to suppose that he just embarked on a wild goose chase? why would he go there? it just doesn't click.
You weren't reading the subtitles were you? The dialogue wasn't changed but in the subtitles she mentions a bounty hunter from Kamino.
Nice, I like the editing of the trailers they're very good but I think the narrative text could do with a better font. Oh and the line "Witness the origin of Star Wars..." Doesn't really ring true with me, as the origin lies with ANH. I think a better line might be "Witness the beginning..." and then maybe thrown "...as you've never seen it before!" Just to tie in with the fact that this is an edit.
Oop, started writing this after seeing the trailer for Attack of the Federation I see you went somewhere similar for Twilight of the Republic though I'm not sure about opening all of the trailers with the same clip from ANH, it might be best to pick just one to open it with that. Anyway, I look forward to the DVDs! =D
Janskeet said:ChainsawAsh said:Buy a short-term Rapidshare subscription, and download 5-10 parts at a time. That's how I do it when I use Rapidshare (very rarely, though).
All you need to do is download all the RAR parts. Then, once you have ALL of them, put them ALL in the same folder, and open the VERY FIRST ONE (part.01.rar or whatever it is) with WinRAR or UnRarX if you're a Mac guy like me. It'll automatically un-rar all of them into one nice, neat ISO for you.
Then you burn the ISO to a dual-layer DVD using ImgBurn (or Toast/Disk Utility/something of the sort for Mac), and you're good to go :-)
Can I just watch it directly on my PC? I don't have any dual layer DVDs right now?
You said earlier that you had 8.5 discs. Those are dual layer.
Janskeet said:vaderios said:Ady already uses HD versions to make ESB ;)
-Angel
I'm talking about the blu-ray version LFL will eventually have to come out with.
Any official blu-ray release will likely just be the same thing that was released on DVD and broadcast in HD. Adywan is using the (was it german?) HD broadcast of ESB to create his edit. So when times comes to release it there'll be a regular DVD release as well as an HD release (in I believe 720p).
New problem. Whenever I try to load the script for ESB HCenc crashes. The script for ANH still loads fine though. Under info it gets as far as "AVS file opened, Avisynth.dll loaded" =(
I just tried creating the script for ROTJ and it loaded in HCenc fine but ESB keeps crashing it for no reason.
Edit: Figured it out, I took out the whole subtitles section and it loaded.
Octorox said:I do think the lower mixing of the music was a creative decision by Ben Burtt though.
From what I recall Ben Burtt only did the audio reconstruction for the '97 SE. For the 5.1 audio upgrade for the '04 DVDs it was Matt Wood and another dude.
adywan said:well the way the holograms were done in the OT was that they filmed the actors against the bluescreen then played that footage on a colour CRT TV which gave the hologram effect. Now for the Pt they used a computer to add the holo FX which gave them a better quality and more modern feel. so for the Pt i will be going back to the original process to redo the holograms so they have that OT feel
THANK YOU! I was planning on suggesting you do that when the time came for work on the prequels. =D
Jedi Dark Knight said:adywan said:The holograms in the PT are going to be downgraded and visually match the OT, maybe even lower tech because after all the Pt shouldn't be so much more hi-tech than the OT when its set in the past. And the " its a much more prosperous time" excuse is just lame. Our world has been in much more prosperous times but our technology is more advanced now than it ever was. cockpits, displays and even some ships will have a complete OT overhaul in the PT
I didn't see anything overly special about the holograms in the PT, they were all bluish and very similar to the ones in the OT, the only hologram to stand out in the entire saga is the Leia message because it is in color, all others are bluish, even in the PT. 100% agreed about the lame excuse that "it is a much more prosperous time" it just doesn't match, it can go 2 ways: overhaul the OT to match the PT *screens, holograms and Hi-tech (something you have said you won't do) OR downgrade the PT to match the OT (something I sense goes more to your liking) but as you say they can't stay like that.
Luke's hologram in ROTJ is in color as are the holochess game pieces in ANH and the attack plans on the Deathstar II. The general theme is that all communication holograms are in blue while prerecorded ones are in color. Which is why it has always annoyed me that the attack plans in TPM for the palace are all blue with a single red line.

It's pretty easy to get around a lot of that stuff in sci-fi. It can either have a force field instead of glass...
...or transparent aluminum! ;)
"Hello, Computer..."
Heh, for the Star Wars universe it would be transparisteel. =P
