I forgot about the shuttle scene being dumped.

As for the first point, it is not bending, it's just squishing down during lowering. It lowers noticeably faster on each Han's step. Just watch the scene and the ramp. Cannot miss it.

i've just checked out that shot on a loop and frame by frame and although it does look like what you say, what is actually happening is the hydraulics are jerking as the ramp is lowering. If you look as it is lowering and Han has stopped at the end of the ramp before getting off the jerking motion is still happening plus the jerk is not in sync with Hans footsteps.

Ady, what did you do to the Biggs and Luke scene to smooth out the original 12fps look? Also, I really like the addition of the music. Certainly gives it more of a cinematic feel. Also, what source did you use? Was it my Lost Scenes or someone else's?

i used the ripped png's from behind the magic that someone posted a while back (can't remember who did this rip, sorry)
To be honest i have deleted the adobe after effects project file so i can't remember the exact way i did it. I'm pretty sure that i opened the pngs in virtualdubmod and saved them as a 29fps avi. then imported it into after effects. changed the composition framerate to 25fps (there was a reason i didn't make it 24). changed the length of the avi to match the exact length of the audio using the time stretch function. I set the "frame blending" to "pixel motion" and rendered it. It did cause a few artefacts during fast motion but it did work at smoothing out the motion. With extra work (which i couldn't be bothered to do cleaning up all the frames) you can mask out the problem areas and create a smooth motion copy. Like i said i haven't got the project file to check that this was the exact way but i'm pretty sure it was.

Onto the subject of newsgroups well i find them as easy as torrents but hell of a lot faster. i use giganews and can download a DVD-5 in about 1hr 30mins on an 8mb connection. It have the unlimited account which costs about £12 per month but there are cheaper providers out there. If you compare how long it takes to get a DVD from usenet compared to the crawl it takes for a torrent it is worth investing in a usenet account because you would probably be using that much electric with having to have your pc on so long to get the torrent downloaded.

It is as easy as torrent too. once you have set up your newsreader, which with something like newzbinpro is really easy because all you have to do is enter your username & password and your done. you can then load up the groups you want easily but this isn't necessary to get the posts you want. took me 2 minutes when i first used it to get all set up and running.

All you have to do is use the binsearch site. you do a search and it lists all the files available. once you have found the release you just tick the box by the side of it (usually a complete release has already been grouped together) and create an nzb file. this is the same as having a torrent file because it contains all the info your reader needs to download the files . then open your nzb file in your newsreader, tell it where to download the files to and your done. Easy. i can't really see anything harder in using newsgroups. its faster, you don't have to upload anything which gives you your maximum download speed. people moaning that they can't have a credit card so they can't use usenet need to do some searching on the internet. Pay as you go credit cards are widely available and anyone can get one. some charge you a monthly fee but free ones are available, you just need to shop around. And i guess that the ones moaning about having to pay a few pounds(or dollars) each month for good access but use torrents regularly can't be paying for their electric bill. I know for a fact that mine certainly went down each month once i stopped using torrents and switched to usenet. Plus usenet isn't throttled by most ISP's the way torrents are or at least not as much so you usually always get your full download speed. And most ISP's have their own usenet access but don't have the good retention as a proper service, so you wouldn't even have to pay for it.

OK, so if Darth Maul's death scene wasn't modified on DVD, and Anakin never was shown killing Jedi children... what exactly WAS changed?

Is there a list or something that says what was modified for the DVD? They aren't "special editions" like the 2004 OT set, so it's obviously not much... The two scenes I thought WERE modified apparently AREN'T...

I saw it tonight and it was fun to watch. I liked the nod to Raiders in the beginning, and I liked the way the film ended. The film felt sillier than the previous 3 and the plot was a bit murky, but it was still enjoyable. I liked seeing Marion again. It's no Raiders, that's for damn sure, but it didn't offend me like the prequels did.

I saw it tonight too and my thoughts about it are very similar to yours. I really enjoyed it. But I feel that this film has rounded off the saga and they really shouldn't do any more.

Points well taken for the most part. My point is this, some people think Lucas should have done test screening and polling and caved to whatever the audiences/fans wanted and change the story around what the fans wanted. I am glad we got pure George Lucas and not something he caved in to people for. Because not matter who directed or wrote Star Wars we'd still have people on internet forums and other places saying how it should have been done this or that other better way. I can only imagine what it would have been like if there had been an active internet when the original trilogy was first released.

You say the prequels will never have the lasting appeal that the OT but, I think that would be true no matter who wrote or directed the prequels, they came out in a different era than the originals, the originals were the first of their kind, and they had little competition when they first came out. Of course the prequels would not have the sense of "awe" the originals had. Partly because people never saw anything like that at the time of the OT, nowadays in this era they see stuff like it all the time. Honestly, if the OT were to come out for the first time evere in today's era would it have ever become the phenom it did?

Well i have to have the last word on this, not only because its my thread but because this puts me on my 1000th post.

You say you are glad that we got pure Lucas for the PT and in fact you have hit the nail on the head. It was PURE Lucas. The OT was never pure Lucas and certainly not the Lucas that emerged after years of living in his little bubble created after he finished the OT. There were a lot more people involved in the original films that had their creative input. Even ANH. He may have wrote & directed it but the film we all know and love was down to editing. I wish that the "lost cut" would emerge so we could see what Lucas' original vision would have been like. My guess it would have been very similar to the PT in its approach. Surrounding yourself by "yes" men is the worse thing any creative person could possibly do. You need input from people who may not agree with your decision to keep a balance. This is what was lacking when he started the PT and boy does it show.

Now that it. No more PT talk in this thread unless its directly related to this edit. I did ask for this last time but it continued. Well no more. If you want to talk about the PT vs OT then please start your own thread. I'm pretty sick about talking about it all the time when i should be concentrating on doing this edit.

So lets all get back to talking about that now please.

Ok, I got the Purist version downloaded and burned (the right way, now that I learned what I was doing wrong...sorry for the confusion, Ady) and not only does it not have the menus but it's only 48 chapters instead of 54 for the full Revisited version. Do you or someone else have a Purist chapter listing? I'm curious to see what the differences are.

The Purist version doesn't have menus and the chapter listing is different. For the purist i just added chapters at random places

I saw it in theaters. In theaters you could clearly see him fighting Jedi children, and it was changed on all home video releases. I know a guy who has a Chinese telesynch if you want proof... LOL (but I'd have to track him down, I haven't talked to him in years)

I guess I forgot to mention where - It's where Yoda says "if into the archives you go, only pain will you find" (or whatever he says) and Obi-Wan watches the replay video of what happened at the Jedi temple. In the DVD, he's fighting adults, but in theaters he was fighting the kids.

The reason I remember this is a real-life friend of mine is also a big Star Wars fan, and after seeing it together I told him how upset I was that they showed Anakin fighting the kids. He bought the DVD before I did, and said "You'd be pleased to know that Lucas changed that scene on DVD"... otherwise I probably wouldn't even remember any other version.

You are definitely remembering it wrong. That scene hasn't changed from its theatrical release. He never fought the children. Just ask zion who did a version, along with me, of ROTS that was taken from a TC. I also saw this in theaters at its midnight showing and several times after .This scene never existed and i do know what i'm talking about. Find the Chinese guy who has the same TC and you will see.

As Molly pointed out some people, still to this day, swear they saw Luke throw the grappling hook twice. Memory is a funny thing

Yeh that sounds about right. the file size i get when i applied the patch was 7.6 Gb whereas the one i posted that didn't have the fix was 7.78gb so it sounds like that one has already had the fix applied

Who besides George directed and wrote ANH? I bet you don't call that acting wooden? Even though Fisher, Ford and Hamill state how George directed simply. "Faster, more intense"

I guess you didn't actually read what i wrote and jumped to the conclusion that i was George & PT bashing.

adywan said:

Jedi became the sign to us all that the George we all loved was gone. His divorce changed him. His ideas were gone and Jedi proved that.

This is true and a fact. You can see how his style changed. Divorce does this to people. I know cuz i've been through it. After this he became surrounded by "yes" men. No one challenged him or his decisions. ANH, if it hadn't been for the editing which Lucas handed over to other people for the final version, could have been just like the PT. You only have to look at the original cut of the cantina. It was long and drawn out just like many scenes in the PT. Now to prove my case just watch the OT and notice how tight the editing is. It doesn't concentrate on shots any longer than it should, which is a mark of good editing. Now look at the PT and the editing again shows this long and drawn out style. Where a scene or shot should end it lingers and creates many pauses that really shouldn't be there.

I'm not a PT hater and i have stated this so many times. I'm not a GL hater either, after all he gave us this saga. But at times you need to take a step back and look at your favourite trilogies without the rose tinted glasses. ANH has its faults but great editing created a great movie. ESB has a great story and is the best of the saga. ROTJ very much the weakest of the OT and scores low for me.

Now we get to the PT.
TPM : had its good points but you never connected with the characters the way you did with the OT characters and relied to heavily on the visuals to get your attention and not the characters and story. The humour relied too much on childish slapstick which even my kids , who were very young at the time, didn't find funny and actually found irritating
AOTC: i loved this film when it came out. Much better than TPM but the whole love story just didn't work. there was no chemistry between the two actors. For this i don't just blame George but Hayden is a terrible actor. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that his wooden delivery was down to the director but NO. Having seen him in Awake and Jumper since, he's almost the same character and delivers his lines the same way he did in the PT. Although there was one scene that i felt was his best which was when his mother died. Very powerful scene. You could feel the rage and that was great. The whole love story being stylised on the 30s romantic films well what can i say apart from there was no similarity towards that genre whatsoever.
ROTS: a good film in general but it became rushed towards the end as he tried to resolve everything. The "turning to the dark side" story was dealt with badly also. he gave up everything & turned too quickly. he didn't even bat an eyelid when the emperor admitted that he had lied to him and that he didn't know the secret to save padme. Now if you had turned your back on everything for some guy who promised that he knew this secret to save the one you loved and then admitted he didn't, wouldn't you be pissed? i know i would and so would every other real person, which is why his characterisation failed.

Good is a point of view that changes as you mature. i wonder how many of the younger audience, as they grow older, will still think the PT is great. Not many i can tell you. it certainly will never have the lasting appeal that the OT has and that has been proven over recent years as the audience has matured.

Now please can we end this PT vs OT subject until i at least get around to the PT. This is the ESB thread and has nothing to do with the PT. ESB really has no PT connections where as ROTJ does, so that can be addressed in that thread when i start it.

If you want to try again, get me a 720p or 1080i original green screen shot on HDV (or that Panasonic thingy) and I can match the grain and junk for you and send you nice, ready to use Alpha channeled mov, Ady. Dont even need to move the cam if you frame it fully.

It wasn't just the issue of matching the footage. the main obstacle was using a motion control camera rig then any model footage filmed looked like it belonged in something like thunderbirds so any thought of creating new models shots has been dropped. Thanks for the offer though

bkev said:

Hey, Ady, this might have been addressed, but will you be using HD footage for this edit?

Yes i am using the German broadcast footage for the movie but i have had to scale it down to 1024x576 because its just impossible to do all the work that i am doing using full HD sized footage. The computer just grinds to a hault. But the image, even scaled down. looks hell of a lot sharper than if i used the DVD as a source.

GhostAlpha26 said:

So your planning to return it to exactly how it was or as close as possible if you cant find "Luke" being said by Ian?

Yes. The new dialogue is so out of place. It jumps out to you that it was written at different times. You don't need to explain who skywalker is. we already know he destroyed the Death Star. The whole "changing the dialogue to TIE in the PT" is another one of the changes George has made that was totally unnecessary.

Recently the threads have taken a bit of a turn and are becoming a more PT/SE vs OUT. My personal feelings is that they should all be able to co-exist> The PT can never be said to be the same quality film making that the OUT was (and its not an age thing because i know a lot of younger people that have grown up with all versions of the saga realising what a pile of crap the PT turned out to be compared to the OT (although Jedi was heading that way and was a taste of things to come)

There is only 1 person to blame for the bad dialogue, wooden acting, and bed editing and that isn't the actors or technicians... it it George. If he had handed over the reigns to a good director you would have seen better performances. If he hadn't surrounded himself with "yes" men then some of the failings of the PT probably wouldn't have existed. And if he had stayed out of the editing room, stuck to writing just the storyline and got someone better to write the screenplay & made sure that Ben Burtt stayed as the sound effects editor then we would have seen a totally different trilogy, and Star Wars would most likely have still been as great as it once was.

Jedi became the sign to us all that the George we all loved was gone. His divorce changed him. His ideas were gone and Jedi proved that. That movie was just ANH rehashed and is the weakest of the OT. Empire, however, was original and had some great acting performances. It is undoubtedly the best in the entire saga. This is why the new lines and their delivery stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't hate the PT by a long shot. it does have some great moments but the bad, at the moment, out way the good. I think the PT can be saved somewhat and i am going to attempt that when i get around to them (if only they would release a better TPM transfer with the new CG Yoda instead of that horrendous puppet). But my philosophy is to change the PT to better suit the OT and not the other way around (apart from visual FX clean-ups and changes to the OT of course)

on to another point that someone raised and that is Boba Fett in Jedi. I really like the idea of removing him completely. his character is useless in that movie and adds nothing so he really doesn't need to be in it and, to be honest, if he wasn't there you wouldn't miss him. I think he was only put in ROTJ because he became such a popular character since his appearance in ESB but George really didn't know what to do with him and therefore ruined such a great and mysterious character. .....

But all that really need to wait until i start my ROTJ:R thread as this one should really stick to being just for ideas and suggestions for ESB or everything becomes too hard to keep track of.

Where is the one where he doesn't split in half?

I mean, he gets a lightsaber through the stomach... it would only make sense that he'd split in half right then and there, I thought it was edited kinda like episode 3 where the DVD shows Anakin fighting grown-up Jedi instead of the children... for moral reasons.

(Does any release of episode 3 have that version, BTW? However, That's one edit I do like, since I almost cried seeing Anakin kill the children and I just hate watching that scene...)

What DVD of Ep3 have you seen? you have never seen him kill the children in any release. You only see him find the hiding children and the scene cuts when his saber ignites. There have been no other versions of EP3
The non splitting Maul was only seen in an early EP1 theatrical release, but not in all releases

I used WinRAR, just like I did for the DVD-5. Should I start over with the RAR files? Create a new ISO and unpack it with PcgEdit instead?

Yeh, start over with the rar files but you will need to mount the ISO file DO NOT unpack with winrar because this can sometimes screw the files up. Download and install DaemonTools from HERE
Once installed restart you computer. Once restarted you will see a Daemontools tray icon in bottom right hand side of your screen (by the clock). Right click on it and goto "virtual cd/dvdrom" and select number of drives as 1 (if this isn't already set. The do the same thing again but this time select "mount image and select your iso file unpacked from the rars. this will create a virtual drive. Now goto "my computer" and explore the DVD and drag all the folders into a new folder (as described earlier) then do all the steps i mentioned to apply the fix and create the new iso. If you still get an error in PGCedit then i'm afraid there's nothing more i can do to help you

You actually never have to unpack an ISO (you mentioned you did that with the DVD-5). Nero burns ISO files and you should always burn the ISO because that way you can make sure that the disc structure is the way it is intended

how did you unpack the ISO? Did you do it the way i explained or did you use winrar to unpack it? There should be no problem with pgcedit & no errors reported in it if you have done it the way i said. I have tested this several times and every time without problem. I'm hoping its not because you put the ISO on a disc first. Other than you making sure you have gone through each step i explained there is nothing more i can do. It only seems to be you that is having this problem

And also, does anyone know if the original Darth Maul death scene is on some release? I vividly remember him getting chopped in half in the theaters, but the DVD he doesn't become two pieces until halfway down the chute. I may be wrong, as I was only 8 when I saw it in theaters... I just recall it being more graphic.

No, i'm afraid you are wrong. There were 2 versions of that scene. One where he doesn't split in half and the other is the same as the DVD version.

no. Mount the original ISO image using something like Daemontools. You then copy all the files that are in the original ISO to your hard drive in a new folder. call it "star wars DVD-9" or something like that.In that new folder you should now have 4 folder: VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, JACKET_P & DVD_ROM. Once you have these copy all the files from the fix into the VIDEO_TS folder. It will ask if ytou want to overwrite the existing files. select "yes". Now you have all the new files intact. Open Pgcedit and select the VIDEO_TS folder inside "star wars DVD-9" (or whatever you have called it). Once opened a box will appear and if you notice it is scanning the files. Once it has done this click "close"(which will only appear once the scanning has completed) then create a new ISO by selecting "file> BurnDVD/Create ISO. It will say "dvd saved ok". click "ok". A new box will appear. select where you want the new iso to be created, make sure that the "DL media type" is set to "Double layer +R(if your media is +R) or "Double layer -R" (if you media is -R). now click "ok". Another box will appear asking about the extra folders. Just click "yes". Now a new box will appear. This is your layer break. Make sure that cell 28 is highlighted (it should be by default). click "ok" and your new iso will be created.

Once this is created open imgburn. Goto "mode>write", load your new ISO file and click the bottom button (burn). When the layer break box appears make sure you click on the layer break info at the top to highlight it. Make sure that the "Don't update IFO/BUP files" box is ticked. Now burn.

Ok, update. Maybe Ady or someone else can figure this one out.

My NTSC DVD-9 came from RapidShare via fanedit.org.

Applied Ady's ISO fix in spite of the fact that I'm not using Imgburn.

Now, when I burned it pre-fix, Nero gave me some kind of "non-critical error, do you want to continue" message. I hit yes and burned the disc and ended up where I was on my previous post.

Applied the fix and burned a new disc. Nero didn't give me that "non critical error" thing this time. Now, I can get to the Alderaan and Biggs deleted scenes, but they're not those scenes. They're two halves of the Escape from Docking Bay 94. The Alderaan one is the gang getting on the Falcon as the Sandtroopers enter the bay and the Biggs one is the rest of that scene as the Falcon eludes the Star Destroyers.

Now what?

Why didn't you use imgburn to burn the new iso? You did run it through PGCedit after you pasted the new files in the VIDEO_TS folder didn't you to make the new ISO file or did you just paste the new replacement files and burn with nero? Imgburn is in the DVD-ROM folder on the DVD if you haven't already got it. It sounds like you have done something wrong that has changed the IFO files. Do EXACTLY what it says for the fix in the text file included step by step. Once you have done all the steps mentioned burn with Imgburn. That will give you an exact copy of the DVD-9 with the correct layer break and everything will be fine. Its worked for everyone else so if it fails this time you either haven't followed by instructions properly in the fix file or you have a serious problem with your computer. What version of Nero are you using?

Well other people have managed to burn the NTSC DVD-9 using nero without the fix successfully so i'm not sure what the problem could be. You say that PowerDVD has stopped working so it could be a problem with your system somewhere. Does your standalone player play DL DVD's that you have burned before without problems?The best thing to so is apply the fix and burn with imgburn. Its really easy to do. If you still have problems after the fix then you have a problem with either the media or your system

Ok, I just managed to burn the DVD9 without the ISO fix using Nero. When I fire it up in my stand-alone player and try to access the two new Deleted scenes - Alderaan and Luke & Biggs - the disc ejects. Do I need the ISO fix anyway? Tried it on the computer using VLC Media Player - same problem. Trying the Isolated Music Track also locks up the player.

Anyone?

Anyone?

What make of DL-DVD are you using? When you try the isolated track is it your stand alone player or VLC that locks up? It does sound like a bad burn to me but VLC isn't the best player to use for DVDs as i've had problems with that player locking up when using it to watch a dvd

Wait, I just looked at it again...

1. My computer can't do .rar's.

2. I don't want the movie split into hundreds of parts on my iPod.

Unless I'm reading that wrong...

Your computer should be able to do rars. all you need is a program like winrar. The rar files are just the movie split into a compressed package for posting. Once you have all the rar files then you open up one of the rar in winrar and it will unpack all the files into the movie. the movie will not be split at all once unpacked
