If anyone is able and willing with a little free time, it would be really great to have Spanish and French subtitles as well, to round out the disc…

EDIT: Obi-Wan’s eloquent manner of speech really comes through in Backstroke-style subs (using Babelfish)
Regarding Anakin: “I hoped he does not attempt any to be stupid.”
Requesting to see Fett: “I should extremely like the present meeting this for to receive an award capture the fleeing criminal.”
Complimenting Fett: “Your clone is the unusual impression profound. You must be extremely arrogant.”

I would lean away from Pinnacle, as everyone I know who's tried to use it has had problems with it crashing. Roxio Videowave I purchased before Vegas. It is OK, but very limited and slow. Very hard to do frame-accurate editing too.

If you were interested, I do have the official Greek subtitles for AOTC, but that is probably modern Greek. I'm not sure what the difference is...

Audio- restore laughing to cantina and creak of Anakin’s chair as he gets up in part 12. Part 20- remove “Darth Tyrannus.”
Well, none of the deleted scenes or the newly scripted scenes are going to be on the original subtitles. Plus there are a lot of little differences throughout. But there are a few scenes that can be lifted almost word for word from the original.
I have to say that ancient Greek subtitles would be really funny! It would probably take up too much of your time for what it’s worth, though. Maybe I should add some “Backstroke” style subs…
------------------
Anyway, I’ve located several foreign language subtitles from the original AOTC, all the main languages, so if anyone is interested, I will give them both the SOTDS subtitles and the original subtitles from AOTC, so they can simply substitute in the already translated lines when they get to them. Another option for someone fluent in a language would be to just run the SOTDS subs through a translation website and then go back through and correct them. Might be easier than having to try and think of all the vocabulary from scratch.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out! I really appreciate it.

Hello all! As I inch closer and closer to finishing my edit “Shroud of the Dark Side,” I was wondering if anyone that happens to be fluent in another language would be willing to translate my English subtitle track into other language. In particular I would like to include Spanish, French and German, but any languages would be great.
If you are able to help me out in any language, please PM me and I will send you an English text file. I won’t need them for at least 2 months, and your name will appear in the credits.
Thank you so much!

I for one am thrilled you are doing this. The 97 SE is much better than 2004 because of its colors (as originally filmed) and its unmutilated audio mix.
So glad you're doing this

Me too. All of the creative work was hammered out a lot time ago. Now it's just a high-quality audio mix that's needed.

I agree. Not that it's Mojo's fault, of course. I'm just not impressed with the people in Hollywood now-doesn't mean anything to me. They're just not turning out good stuff now. Completely brainless trash. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have these "art house", pseudo-intellectual films nobody wants to watch. They're just as bad, but bad in a different way.

This was recorded by a voice actor with great success for my own Ep. II project. If Ady decides to do a different version than mine, he will have access to all of my recordings. But as it stands now, I believe that the Adywan project and the Starkiller project seem to be merging into one complete saga project (i.e., Starkiller will not do Ep. IV-VI because Ady has taken care of them, and vice-versa if Ady is happy with our PT, which includes SOTDS).
That's because he always had eyebrows filling out his face until 2004. Now suddenly, with those eyebrows gone, and the sudden unnatural coloration of his skin (it was a fleshy pink, pale, but recognizable... now suddenly it's gray due to the bad color correction Lowry Digital/Lucasfilm did)... draws the viewers attention to the fact that his skin is wrinkly and creased and then all of a sudden perfectly smooth... almost as if... he has a piece of rubber over his scalp (aka a bald cap wig).
I never noticed it either until his eyebrows were removed. They distract the eye from the makeup.

I think they really screwed up with Star Wars by cleaning up/sharpening the image TOO much, to the point where you're seeing things that were never intended to be seen, like actor's makeup and so on. I think that's part of it as well.

But I would tend to agree, in general, that the prequels should be molded to fit the OT, not the OT molded to fit the PT. However, Ady's versions I feel would work better with ANY version of the prequels, simply because there will always be a disconnect unless somebody paints out all of the air traffic in the background of the PT, closes up windows, reshoots scenes with actors and puppets, etc. But yeah, from an artistic standpoint, I would tend to think that the duel should be left unscored. I would really have to see the scene in context to know for sure, though. And what I've seen so far of Ady's edit has left me speechless, so there's no reason for me to think that this scene was a major problem. Same thing on the recut Luke/Obi-Wan scene...I just have to see it. It kills me I haven't seen this yet!

I don't blame you for taking a break on this thing, and school is very important. I have no doubt you will return to this thing once you get the chance since you have dedicated so much time and energy into it already. I also think you made the right choice by not releasing the incomplete version of this film. I will be looking forward to seeing what becomes of this in the future. Until then, good luck with your school. I doubt that it will be of any harm to you if you show this sort of determination in your efforts to get into film school or in whatever else you reach for in life.

It's nice to hear you say that. I do know that most people I communicated with assumed I was in my thirties based on the way I posted
But that's good. I am determined to finish this, I just know that you all understand I can't just work on this and lose opportunities in real life. I am waiting on a couple recordings from Sluggo and MTHaslett, but that's not the reason this isn't progressing. I'm just busy. But yeah, there's no way that I'm not going to finish this considering how much time I put into it, and how much time others put into it.
I just get the biggest kick- I read back through the thread, after I had posted one of my first video clips, and the person said something like, "When you started this thread, I thought you were just a 14 year old kid with a PC mike, but now I know you're for real.'
Funny enough, that's just about right. When I first started this, all I had was a PC mike and a cheap consumer editing program
It just grew from there....Back to Ady's edit now, the one that has actually been finished

Ady, are the Death Star interiors somehow more desaturated on the Xvid than they will be on the DVD? I just started noticing this last night on my third viewing (someone else mentioned it pages ago, but I can't find the post). Most of the interior shots appear to be desaturated all the way to grayscale. So it's like a black and white movie in the background with maybe a few faces and panel lights in color. Vader almost always appears in total monochrome, with the exception of his lights.
Now... this could easily be my video card, I could be seeing it wrong. And I didn't notice this at all my first couple of viewings. But once I started seeing it, I had a hard time *not* seeing it in a high percentage of interior shots, and even during the DS battle (which is so awesome I rewound it three times... again!). Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
At least I didn't mention either flippers or TIEs!

The interiors aren't all the way down to monocrome, there is still a hint of blue, but i always wanted the interiors to be grey .When doing the colour correction i tried bringing the blue down so it would match shot to shot but it created more problems. Some areas were so oversaturated that when i got parts to look the way i wanted there would be blue patches here and there and it also created video noise. Also some shots were almost monocrome when removing the blue tint so i had to set a medium and the only way to get it looking to what i wanted it to was to remove the blue from the walls so no patches existed. So inevitably some of the subtle blue tints were lost ( not that they were even there in the first place in some scenes due to the horrible colouring of the 2004 DVD). I mentioned about this before when i explained about the monocrome cockpits in shots during the Death Star trench run. I like the more monocrome look and thats all that matters to me

Like I've said before, I read the transcript where you said you were working 14 hours a day on this. That's absolutely ridiculous. No pesron should have to do that. But we all love you for it. The fact that people are analyzing this movie as if it were actually a current-day Hollywood release is just a testament to how incredibly professional it looks.
You definitely need to take like half a year off from all of this and enjoy life! It will do wonders. Believe me.
Best

I can't download this, but I just wanted to thank you for all the countless hours I know you've been putting into this. As was said earlier, the results of this clearly put you at the top of the game in special effects, and this movie would surely be a ticket into any visual effects house.
Not to beat a dead horse... but my vote would go to a severed HAND because it is more dramatic.
All the best

As for me and this project, I don't know if I'll ever be in a position to take it all on myself, but let me tell you about what I'm up to. I'm a Media Production major (which is basically Radio/TV/Film, I don't know why they changed the name), and this semester I'm taking a in-depth editing class that teaches the ins and outs of Apple's multimedia suite, in particualr Final Cut Pro. This will finally give me the opportunity to learn everything I need to know about *professional* editing. The only problem is I don't have a Mac myself, though I plan to get a top-of-the-line one when I graduate, so I'll have to use the computers at school until then. I have career aspirations in media, but more in the creative department such as writing. Professional editing is a good gig which can bring in some serious money if you play your cards right, so that's definitely something I'm going to look into as alternative income. Weddings, vacations, etc, people pay good money for someone to package together these things for them on DVD. Anyway, that's where I'm coming from, and in a couple of years maybe I'll be able to hammer all these things out myself in my spare time, but for now I just really need to focus on getting in a good starting point for my career.
All that said, I was hoping I could still contribute idea wise to this project. Honestly for a while there I was burned out on Star Wars, but Adywan's project has reignited my interest in that galaxy far, far away. So I'll be around for discussion if you'll have me.

Right. I think this is a great idea- as long as each editor is on the same page in terms of our basic goals for the project.
I think it'd be so exciting because the enthusiasm would be high around the board. With only 30 minutes to be responsible for, each editor would hopefully pour all of their creativity into their designated piece, and then when you assemble these inspired chunks and the whole film becomes brilliant and inspired (theoretically). At the end, though, like you said, a master editor would need to take the 4 or 5 different pieces and make sure they work well together, making minor changes as needed. In theory, we could wait until the end with the special FX. Wherever we need a shot, we put in a slate marked "TEMP." When the cut is locked, we send it to Adywan, who now has enough context to do the FX shots.
Story-wise, a really, really heavy influence on SOTDS was Mr. Haslett. He was a key member of the Ranch and I think we need his input because he came up with some brilliant solutions to tricky problems.
But really, all we need now is a final concept and script, Sluggo and Co. for alien voices, and four excited editors. Assuming LTH is still interested, I could certainly pick up a 30 min. chunk and deliver it on time; that's much less daunting than doing everything for an entire movie.
That leaves 2 editors and a "Ranch Manager."
If we get two more editors willing to commit, then I think this project is a go.
It's too bad my SOTDS isn't out yet, because I think it would have acted as an incentive for people to help on Episode I....
