Well, either he changed some settings or some of you have access problems because I saw them fine.
Do what you gotta do, Ady. The edit can wait.
Looking back at the OP, I love how short-sighted the rumor mill is.
Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle -- aka Catwoman -- in Christopher Nolan's next Batman franchise installment The Dark Knight Rises, reports USA TODAY's Scott Bowles.
(Rumors had included Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, Naomi Watts and Katie Holmes for the role.)
Did they forget that Katie Holmes was already in the first film as another character?
The TIE vs Death Star explosions - I'm OK with them as is because of the relative size differences.
A standard TIE fighter is listed as being about 6m (I'm guessing that's height). Now, relative to that, I'm going to guess that the explosion it created was somewhere on the order of 15m tall.
The Death Star is listed as being about 120km - literally 20,000 times larger than a TIE. That means the explosion it generates is somewhere on the order of 150km.
If you put the TIE explosion next to the DS explosion "in scale" the TIE looks like a tiny flash, no bigger than a flickering star, by comparison.
Relative to the sizes of the craft generating them, the explosion sizes are accurate. What's probably throwing you off is the visual aspect - the amount of screen space the explosions takes up, the perceived distance between viewer and explosions and the visual styles of the different explosion effects.

Do you have the "bonus bonus" disc? Best Buy had a second bonus disc available when the set came out originally.
No USB port? Is there/will there be an adapter dongle to use a standard thumb drive? If so, there's your SD card support - get one of the thumb drives that takes the SD/microSD cards.
Planning is key. Start by sitting thru IM, IM2 and TIH and working out the timing issues - when things happen, how long they take and where events overlap and reference the other films.
Lay them out in a spreadsheet with each film on a different row in a different color, with the columns breaking up individual scenes and sequences. That will allow you to shift things around and adjust how the elements need to align and interact. The more of these problems you can solve "on paper", the easier the real edit will go later.

I always vow not to click on final teasers for these projects, save spoiling surprises for myself. Just....Could....Not....Resist this time!
Resistance is futile.
Sorry. Wrong franchise.
If Felicia Day makes the list then you should also include Kari Byron from Mythbusters.

A teeny observation, you used the sound effect of luke's saber igniting from the 2004 SE and from ROTJ. Please don't use that sound in the actual film, it doesn't really fit.
The sound effects used in the trailer are just stock effects and not an indication as to how it will sound in the movie
You oughta add that to your signature until you get around to working on the sound mix.
In a nutshell, the ESB version has a more vertical stance and a more sloped forehead. The rest is greeblies.
Do you have a fairly modern Android-based or iPhone cell phone? Can you put a microSD card in it?
If you answered "yes" to both questions, there ya go. Copy movies or whatever to an 8G or 16G microSD card and stick the card in your phone.

OK, more of a monologue than a single line but I love the philosophy in it.
There should be a rule that disc art should be complete all the way to the center for the benefit of those of us who use full face labels.

Oh yeah, PAL. Dumb differing "standards"...adywan said:
Blu-Ray with special features
AVCHD with movie only
PAL DVD-9 with movie/menu only
NTSC DVD-9 with movie/menu only
PAL DVD-5 with movie/menu only
NTSC DVD-5 with movie/menu only
PAL Special features bonus disc
NTSC Special features bonus disc
I thought the whole idea of the 24fps HD video standard was to bypass the whole PAL/NTSC issue and have one universal standard that everyone could use (aside from Region codes, but that doesn't apply to burned discs).
Should I be relieved or insulted my name hasn't come up in this thread yet?
Hey Ady,
Not to add to your workload of building and filming models, but someone over at Starship Modeler just came out with a Studio Scale Star Destroyer Bridge/Neck section - http://www.starshipmodeler.net/talk/viewtopic.php?t=91201
Don't know if you need it for Empire but it could probably come in handy for Jedi.

Well said HotRod....
Things have certainly been quiet from Ady's com-station lately, has anyone heard if someone has stepped up to the plate on his request for a spring loaded hand grip for a cabling system yet?
I sent Ady a sketch of a design that can be built with common hardware store materials - 1x2 wood and plastic plumbing pipe.

I never knew of the actual Kenner toy lightsabres. My parents bought me a glow in the dark sword and told me it was a lightsabre toy. AND I BELIEVED THEM! For some reason, I liked to put the sword across the arms of our living room chairs and then sit on the sword. Which broke the handle off. Several times. My mom must have hot-melt glued that thing at least 50 times.
That reminds me - I still have the remnants of my original SST Lazer Sword, one of the first bootleg lightsaber toys. When the batteries in the flashlight handle got "cancer", I threw out the flashlight part (didn't realize you could clean off the cancer fairly easily, unlike in the human body) and ended up replacing the flashlight several times over the years. To this day, I still have the original flange, blade, endcap and detail ring transplanted on a flashlight.
I was in my teens when the films were in the theaters (11 in '77, you do the math on the rest) and some of my first younger cousins were born right around that time (oldest of them was born in '75) and this particular one has his younger sister in it, so I'd say it dates to around '79 or '80.
Bobby (the little cousin, about 4 or 5 years old), my sister and I are playing with SW figures on the floor. I forget who had which figures but we were acting out one of the scenes from the film. Kristin, Bobby's sister (about 2 years old) just shows up out of nowhere, Greedo in hand, and gets right into the action...
"I PLAY TOO!"
Or maybe someone at Kenner flipped the negative and either didn't care or didn't notice until it was too late and decided to protect their own ass by not saying anything.
Either way, you should make a corrected version and just throw them both out there - let the end user decide which one to use.
"Yeah, nice to see you too. :-\ " - Rodney Dangerfield, Easy Money
I use it in the same context he did - whenever someone questions my actions or starts out with some kind of complaint instead of addressing me in a civilized manner before mentioning their concerns.
Why is the Death Star upside down on the Kenner Commercials disc label?
