DVD players?

When DVD players first came out and cost a small fortune, I bought a budget player for £180 (about £350) which at the time was very cheap. It was made by Wharfdale (the speaker company) and plays ANYTHING. I still use it today.

Or, just watch them on your computer - you can easily get software to play both.

I agree. And if an alien race wanted us to take them to our leader, it would be much easier.

This is what I’m using and it’s correct, is it not? The apostrophe is OK because there is one in the original ’77 crawl. I realize that the other variants are incorrect grammatically- that’s why Palpatine’s rise has been changed from past tense to a past event, for consistency. I think the crawl is all set grammatically, now.


That is grammatically perfect and sounds good.

SHROUD OF THE DARK SIDE

Ten years after Palpatine gained
power over the Galactic Senate,

systems intend to secede from
the Republic.


2nd paragraph is fine.

Queen Amidala, now serving as
the senator of Naboo, returns to
Coruscant to vote on the critical
issue of creating an ARMY OF
THE REPUBLIC to support the
overwhelmed Jedi….


I know that formatting will work because I entered in into my own template and checked for spacing. I believe the text addresses all concerns that have been brought up, and believe it is final at this point. Yes, Padme is still a queen and a senator in my edit.

Another option for paragraph one, however, is...

Ten years after Palpatine
assumed leadership of the
Galactic Senate, unrest once
again pervades the galaxy.
Thousands of systems intend to
secede from the Republic.


This isn't my first choice, however, because the spacing isn't as good and I'm not able to get as specific about how many systems are seceding, and also "star systems" clarifies a bit. If everyone hates the 1st paragraph, however, and you do use this paragraph, please don't force justify the last line. But my first choice is the one above.

Case closed I'm still thrilled to pieces that I'm actually getting a custom made crawl for this film.

MTHaslett- I can help you figure out how to get the media to me- that won't be a problem. I would love a sample of your voice ahead of time, though. I will PM you with details sometime in the future.

I might not be able to post for a while (family over), so I hope I've been clear.


But the problem still remains - you're using past tenst for the first line and then present tense for the rest - it's bad use of English and just sounds wrong.
If you want to eliminate the Apostrophe you could say something like 'ten years after the manipulation of the senate by Palpatine' but you have to be consistent in your use of past/present tense.

I saw an interview where Brosnan siad that he wanted to do another one, and there were talks, but the studio passed. Then I read an interview with Judi Dench (M) and she said that despite all the rumours and statements, Brosnan will be back as Bond. So it's anybody's guess. The last Bond film was dire anyway. The last really good Bond film was Goldeneye, IMO. Brosnan was the perfect Bond - he just got crap movies to play Bond in.

So, first time I jacked off...


*Shoots and kills YIYF with the Warbsp™*

*The clean police invade the thread, clean it up, throw everyone out, and put police tape and guards around the entrance.*


YIYF influences the midichlorians to bring himself back from the dead.
Come on guys, it was a JOKE.
But did I just say Midichlorians?
And was I just compared to Jedikev? NOOOooooOooOoOooooooooo!!!!

Ten years after palpatine assumed power of the galactic senate.

There's something that doesn't sit right about this line. Maybe it's the use of past tense.
Something like 'Ten year's after Palpatine's appointment to supreme chancellor of the galactic senate' sounds much better gramatically, IMHO. Although maybe that's a little long...but does anyone else see what I mean?
