I'm not into this whole torrent thing, but maybe this will help.

Adding some more explosion to cover the disappearing bridge would be the easiest fix. That's probably what ILM wanted to do at the time but it slipped past, because if you look close at the shot, it looks like they did the hold-out matte for the explosion element but didn't comp an actual explosion back in.

The other thing is when Obiwan ignites his sabre when meeting Vader. I think it still looks a little weird and the sabre looks too "fat". Otherwise its perfect! I know this would be impossible to do but it would be cool to add a scene right before the yavin celebration where we see vader in his Tie advanced landing on a platform on Coruscant. Stormtroopers comes to greet him and he forcepushes them in anger over a ledge and then enters the emperors huge throne room and we see a longshot of him walking towards the emperor(playing the Imperial march) with lots of red guards standing in line as he walk , then the scene segues into the yavin celebration. :)
Well, Ady has said that ANH:R is DONE, he's not going back to it again, especially not for minor tweaks.
Second - adding that scene would kill continuity with Robot Chicken. :-)p

There was some talk a little while ago about a multi-disc cover for this set. Did anyone finish one?
I adjusted doubleofive's cover - the one that looks like the Vintage action figure cards - to list the features of both DVD-9 and Purist but I haven't uploaded it anywhere. 005 - OK with you to post it?
The rest of the ones I've seen have been either DVD-9 specific or generic enough that it could work for any version, single or multiple.

About halfway down the page. Look for the ones that start with BH.
That's a fan edit interview. Look close at some of the cuts back and forth, you can see stray frames from other stuff in there.

I tried out the Jabba scene and you really had to squint, but sure enough Jabba and Han kind of poked out of the frame a bit. It's not much, but when it's just one guy doing it for the heck of it, it's pretty awesome.
I really need to suggest that someone 3D the scenes from Jaws 3-D as a fan edit...
Friday the 13th part 3, while you're at it.

The cutout and the black holes in the background is a big issue I hadn't thought of. I'm thinking what I'm going to have to do is cut out the main players and Vehicles and then use photo shop to fill in the holes of the background. I'd have the player and objects moving around the background. Here's an example of a short sequence I have in mind......
What I'd do is cut out Luke and the debris in the top panel. Then with all the holes I'd fill the empty space with the same blue background. For the completed shot I have the rummble cam type effect and move Luke and the debris in an upward motion aross the background like he is being sucked up by the Force storm. I think the sequence will be my first test shot.
Also, I 've been listening to the audio drama along with the book and I've noticed a number of large addions in the RD. There are obviously parts of exposition that can be choped and I need to figure out what scenes to drop for time as well. I'm thinking that I may have to bring in elements from other comics to help fill in those extra scenes. I'm even comtemplating using footage from ROTJ for certain scenes with Mon Mothma and Admirmal Ackbar. That is if I can figure out how to edit the scene in a way that doesn't look stupid. I also need to get footage of the Bonus mission on Mon Cal in Rogue Squadron for the World Devestator scenes.
If you're going to do the whole cut out/overlay idea, take some time out to go dig out your Disney history books. Essentially, the effect you're creating is the digital equivalent of the multi-plane camera. For something like that shot with Luke and the debris, put it on three or four levels, smaller stuff in the back, Luke in the middle, bigger stuff on top, with the blue background underneath it all. Learn to think three dimensionally. You want to make it feel like there's some actual movement there, not just panning and shifting around among a flat image.
Also, considering the amount of time it takes just to listen to the audio dramas, you might want to break this down into a TV series of sorts...do them in 15 to 30 minute segments rather than trying to do the entire story in one shot. That will give you time and freedom to get feedback along the way, refine your work flow and keep people interested, waiting for the next chapter. I mean, DE was originally six comics, right? That's essentially six "episodes".
Did none of you get the deluxe Family Guy Blue Harvest box set? There's 3D glasses in there. May even be in the standard version, assuming the disc content is the same as for the box set.

I've been looking for red/blue 3D glasses since the DVD-9 came out so I could see the Jabba scene in its new 3D glory, but I really didn't want to have to buy some 3D coloring book or something in order to get one. So I was at Wal-Mart the other day and I saw a huge display for Hannah Montana's new 3D DVD. I ignored it until we were in the checkout line when I noticed the word "FREE." On top of this display rack were hundreds of red/blue 3D glasses, free for the taking. I ended up taking 4, just in case I have a party and want everyone to see it.
Yeah, you'd look stupid with Hannah Montanta star-shaped 3D glasses, but they're free! Check your Wal-Marts, or wherever crappy Hannah Montana stuff is sold.
A black Sharpie can fix that real quick.
I just got one from someone over at FanEdit.org who said it's better than the KCCI, but I'm in the middle of moving to a new apt right now so give me a week or so to have a chance to compare them and see what's up. A quick scan thru it shows promise but I want to look for specific parts to compare one to the other.

This is the only shot of the shield generator model I could find. It's from Star Wars Chronicles. I sent you a PM Ady with a link to a 300dpi TIFF version.
Why are the sections of the shield generator at the top right of the page so fat? That's not how the generator looks in the movie.
That looks like a concept model or an early stage of construction that would get adjusted later on into the final version.
adywan said:
If i can't get any suitable pics of the generator or the bespin buildings then i could probably build my own models to use. This way i will have as many angles to work with as possible.
You mean CG models or real physical models? If you want physical models, I know plenty of people who would be happy to whip something up for you so that you don't have to spend your own time and effort on it.
Didn't see this one in the suggestion terminal thread...
On Hoth, when the speeders are in the hangar starting to take off, a forklift was used to move them forward and up and down. Any way to re-composite/re-animate them so that they start to take off a little more natural, not so linear?

Could it be that your firewall or other security apps are a little too aggressive? Investigate their settings and controls.

Just saw this in your thread GoodMusician and i totally agree

Sorry to double post. but if I had to say what I'd want the explosion of the Shield Generator to look like, I'd say this:
I wish i could get a high quality video of that
Email the guy who posted it to YT. Explain what you're doing and ask him if he can send you the original tape/disc. Worst that will happen is he'll say "no."
Is there any hidden software on the USB drive? Some of them come with assorted applications and freeware in hidden/protected directories that tries to pretend it isn't there.

maybe another battledroid reference could be added?
How about a super battle droid? And then we could find a place in ROTJ to put a destroyer? It would be a great running gag
Jabba's droid dungeon would be the most logical place.

Now to my ANH:RE related questions. I have recently downloaded all files to the Purist Edit. I know that I have a computer with a dvd burner available, but that is pretty much where my rather limited knowledge ends.
Will I need some sort of program to burn it? When buying dvds to burn the movie to, should I just ask for a dvd-5 package or is there other technical terms I should know? And is there any difference between burning a pal dvd or a ntsc dvd? They don't require different burners do they?
If the computer has a burner in it, then whatever software it needs should be there too. Nero is the most popular but there are others. There are also free ones you can download if it doesn't have any for some reason.
By "all the files", I'm guessing you got it from RapidShare, right? Use WinRAR to unpack the files. Just click on the first one and it will jump to the next and the next and create the ISO. Then in the burner software, just look for "Burn image to disc" or something similar and let it do its thing. PAL or NTSC only affects playability after you've created the disc. The burning process is the same regardless of video format.
Blanks - any DVDs will work, just get a good brand. Sony, Maxell & Verbatim are the better ones that you can find at retail. Memorex, Imation and HP are a little cheaper and more likely to end up with bad discs, if not right away then over time. + or - doesn't really matter unless the burner drive is very old (more than 3 or 4 years) and will only do one or the other, but that's just a drive/disc compatibility issue and doesn't make the final disc any better or worse having one instead of the other.

Ok, i got bored today and decided to have a bit of fun. I took the original unaltered footage of the Emperor hologram ad decided to sync Ian's performance with it (well the best i could with only spending an spare hour. lol) Have fun .... Oh and the video has not been edited at all. It's exactly as it was pre-SE. only the Emperors voice has been changed
Ok, this may fall into the category of "Lucasizing", but what about just swapping out Ian's face into Clive's hood? That would...give you permission...for lack of a better term...to turn the brightness down and maybe use that darkness to disguise where you would have to edit the video to accomodate the dialogue changes. Personally, I thought the Ian holo was a little bright, another one of those "LOOK WHAT WE DID!" moments.
* Every time a transport launched it had x-wings escorting it. It always seemed to me the X-wings might have shot at targets of opportunity (read AT-ATs) as they left the rebel base.
Not if they're heading away from the battle. Why go toward an already dangerous situation if you're trying to make a hasty escape?
Yeah, but that was done live, on set. Yoda & Obi-Wan involves doing in in the FX composite phase, which was a lot harder back then.
adywan said:
i value everyones opinion and input and i will never agree with everything that is put in front of me. no one could ever say they would go along with everything that was put forward when doing an edit. Just because i don't like something doesn't make it good or bad. it just means that it doesn't go along with my vision, but could be very useful for someone else's edit.
Or useful for TESB: Purist Edition. ;-)

So there will be no Jabba's palace music number, or you will be reverting back to Lapti Nek with the static Sy Snootles puppet?
I think the best way to do that would be like what ADigitalMan did - 04 visuals re-cut and re-synced to Lapti Nek. Maybe lose some of the 04 band characters...which ones, that's a judgment call.
