yeh, they are two separate accounts. Maybe the mods need to look into this. Anyone with a space in their username is open to attacks like this as anyone can create an account with the same username. It's a shit thing to do. Hopefully the IP address will out the culprit as it will show if the accounts were done by the same person or not

I have a very strong suspicion after his last few posts that we have been visited by father Skywalker once again

You really want it to flow in an easy manner, but not too fluid or it can become a mess. Take your time. But on the other hand you don't want to cram it full of stuff for the hell of it because then it will just become constipated. Plan it out carefully; Substance, harmony, information, thought.

You could try giving them an aged look to match the old footage. You could go all out and give them a sepia type of look. The brown tones could help give this a unique look, but try to avoid smearing.

There wasn't actually a problem between me and Angel. We just had different ideas on how to approach certain things. Sure we butted heads now and then but that's just what happens when doing something like this. It was just the final outburst against me that pissed me off a bit, but it seems that it may not have been coming from Angel after all.

I would have loved to have worked with him on ROTJ:R and the other edits as i did like some of his ideas and i think he is an incredibly talented person but, as he has now disappeared, that seems highly unlikely, which is a shame.

I haven't seen his deviantart page so i'll have to check it out.

It isn't ANH:R HD. It sounds more like it could be Angel's project to me

Lucas got the name of Coruscant from the EU,

I may be wrong but wasn't the name Coruscant in the 1977 original novelisation of Star Wars? One could say that it is some kind of "EU" but not really, IMO.

No, it was Timothy Zahn who came up with the name Coruscant in Heir to the Empire novel. Before this, the name of the Imperial Capital was Had Abbadon.

There is more side gun action in ESB:R

Dagobah was cut from the UK prints. I remember not seeing it.

Yeh, it was definitely cut from the UK release

Absolutely fantastic Adywan, I'm sure the smell of that resin stunk the place out!

Can't wait to see it painted

 

Just uploaded some of my old mock-ups on to vimeo, I don't know if you've considered any of these ideas?

Just click the images:

1. The Blizzard outside the hanger doors:

Already added, including a new background for the outside

2. The moving flaps on the Snowspeeders:

I will be adding these. I'm going to build a model of the flaps, but if that doesn't pan out i will have to use CG for these

 

3. Han & Chewie reduced in scale on the Falcon:

I won't be doing this

4. The Walker's foot scaled up as it crushes Luke's Snowspeeder:

Hmm, well i was awaiting a certain person to work on this. lol

 

Thanks

Han Solo in Carbonite progress.....

The shirt is now completed. This was achieved by making the front section of the shirt in cotton and then dipping in resin and applying to the body and then shaped to give the wrinkles. hollow areas were then filled and it was then given a light coat of resin. Next, onto making the hands.....

There were hints that he was going to be the next Doctor with the character he played in World War Z ;)

There are also rumours now surfacing that It's Andrew Scott, who played Moriarty in Moffats other program Sherlock. I really hope it isn't though. Just can't stand him as an actor. His portrayal of Moriarty was laughable.

Well it's almost 7pm so not long until we find out.

It would be bleeding cool if it turned out to be true.

I have been watching the loose canon reconstructions of the lost episodes and its pretty cool that fans taping the audio and photographing the screen back in the sixties have given us some way of watching these criminally junked classics but the real thing turning up is always a good thing.

I want to believe but I can't.

Surely they would have turned up already if they were out there?

Surely if the BBC had them they would have rushed them onto disc for the anniversary and not reveal it on the anniversary.

Well there was a program on recently to mark the closure of Television center and they did say that, while clearing the place out, they discovered a lot of tapes with programs they thought had been lost forever. So i could be plausible that they have found something.

And a short one featuring the lost female rebel X-Wing pilot

Another goodie from the CE2 panel. "YUB NUB" with the English lyrics. Just listen to those cheers when a certain Sebastian Shaw appears :) Let's just hope Disney was listening....

Some footage shown at CE2 that will be in the digital edition of the making of book. We finally get to see the deleted scene of Luke jumping up to the floor grille during the Rancor scene in ROTJ.

On a different subject, RotJ Revisited seems like it will be more of an actual fan edit than a special edition. I think it would be nice for Ady to release two versions - a straight special edition to finish the OT for purists, and the heavily edited (and hopefully IMO rearranged and narrative different) version. Thoughts?

Sorry, but there will only be one version. I'm not going to waste time making multiple versions. It's not worth it.

Also, yet to track down the attempted USA pilot to watch. . .

It's available on youtube:

But be warned, after watching it you'll really wish you hadn't

 I never watched any of the new stuff on Dave, although I heard it was quite good. Is it worth watching?

Back to Earth was pretty dire, but i thought the new series was pretty good. Although it really did need Holly. Hopefully he/she will be back for the next one. It was pretty successful so i'd say it's a good bet we'll get another one soon.

• Yeah the chase was shot in hawaii, somehow they even managed to make a real jungle look like a cartoon. Some of the shots in SKULL are just so amazingly bad it was a little shocking that ILM did them, usually that means they were added late in the game, but who knows with that movie. 

But have you noticed that, when ILM do effects for anything by Lucas/ Lucasfilm, they are nowhere near as good as when they do effects for other companies? By that i mean anything since the Special Editions. Look at the Rontos in ANH. they used the same model they used in Jurassic Park, yet they looked nowhere near as realistic as the dinosaurs in that film.  All the additions just scream fake. They used the same Red 2 CG model for every CG X-wing in ANH. The CG R2 in the prequels looks like a damn cartoon, especially in ROTS. The rocks in front of R2, Jabba's new door, Jabba in docking bay 94, the monkeys in KOTCS, the jungle, etc etc all scream fake. Now compare that to their work on other films where their work is stunning. But there is one common factor in all of the bad ones though; George Lucas was in charge.

After reading the highlights of the Kathleen Kennedy panel at CE2 i am a hell of a lot more optimistic about Episode 7.Hopefully a video of the full panel will come online soon

Gosling and Efron: clearly the stuff of rumor mill BS.

That being said I'd totally dig Gosling as Luke Jr.

It seems that it isn't legit

The Huffinton Post is reporting that they have been contacted by Ryan Gosling's representatives who said, "This is not true" regarding his involvement with Episode VII. They also point out that Gosling said he wanted to take a break from acting a few months back.    

Hurt isn't playing McGann's doctor according to inside reports. He is playing a Doctor between 8 & 9. The one that ends the time war. An incarnation that the following ones wanted to forget because of his actions. The whole "not in the name of the Doctor" thing is how they are going to try and explain away why the others call themselves 9,10 11 etc when they are in fact one regeneration further on. Hurt wasn't even in the 50th special until Chris backed out and they rewrote the story.

But why the hell are they only featuring the newer Doctors while ignoring the older ones? This is supposed to be the 50th anniversary and not the 8th. There was supposed to be a web minisode that had the regeneration from McGann to Hurt, but this looks like it may not be happening any more thanks to another regeneration happening in the next episode thanks to Matt leaving.

All they have done for the 50th that includes any of the "classic" doctors was some fleeting & badly incorporated shots from old episodes in "the name of the doctor" Man, the effect work in that was so bad. They didn't even bother to deinterlace the original footage to incorporate the new progressive footage. The effects have seriously gone crap in the last series since they dropped The Mill and used the US's Stargate Effects. Way to go with supporting this countries effects industry.

Now Uk fans have been slapped in the face yet again with the two Comic Con trailers for the 50th and Adventures in Space and Time. And them Moffat threatens that is anyone posts them online then Comic Con will not get any more exclusives ever. Do the BBC forget that WE pay for this program and NOT the American audiences? They don't even bother showing the exclusives at the UK Comic Con, when they can be bothered to even have a panel. It seems like they are trying to cater more towards the American audiences now and screw the UK fans. There have been the Doctor Who Revisited specials followed by showings of classic episodes. What have we had? Nothing.

But this last series has been terrible. The worse series since Who came back on the screens. It's put a bit of a dampener on the whole 50th anniversary for me and, with all this latest crap, i've just about had it with Moffat's Who.

The ship in ep3 isn't anything like the Tantive IV. If it was indeed supposed to be that ship then the CG modellers did a piss poor job as they look completely different
