So it says July 9th on Disney Channel. Is that the real TV channel or Youtube channel? Cause I don’t see it in the TiVo guide data.
Seems the forum software is in desperate need of a search function. Sure you can use google, but the results aren’t nearly as useful as most forum’s searches that I have used in the past.
I’ve been using a Canon Pixma IP8700.
Same here, does the discs as well as 13"x19" printing.
Dang…
(I also posted this in RonWilm’s thread)
Is there a good way to remove fingerprints from un-printed glossy BD’s?
I’ve done a few test printings on discs that didn’t quite burn correctly and noticed a few of them shown fingerprints after I printed. (more noticeable with the black background njvc disc images).
What is a safe way to clean the print surface prior to printing?

Well with mine, then 8 and 6 (girls).
We fired up Harmy’s ANH and watched it. It actually took a few days, as we would stop and talk about what was going on. They didn’t seem to react harshly to any of the violence/gore.
Then we went on to ESB and ROTJ DeS. Followed the same flow.
After that we watched AOTC and ROTS, then saw TFA in the theaters together, and have since saw R1.
If the train continues I don’t see how they’d abandon a 5x production cost gross ticket sales model. Of course produce a stinker or two and you might see a regroup.
I think with the capital outlay that Disney is doing at WDW and DL for SWL, they’d want this train to chug along for as long as possible.
I’m sure they are banking on similar success with Pandora riding the wave of new Avatar flicks.

I would prefer physical media. When I said purchase I mean the cost of the media, a persons time and the cost of postage.
I’m pretty sure this is still prohibited.
I’m curious if it is. I feel as if I read somewhere that it is NEVER ok to pay for the fanedit itself but it is okay to pay for postage and cost of discs/cases. Nothing seems wrong to me there. Your just reimbursing a person for the supplies and effort of getting it to you. No money for the fanedit itself. Not taking a definitive side but just curious.
Back in the day my sister and I would go to Phish concerts and record the shows in the taper section on DAT. I have boxes and boxes of shows up in my attic.
As a major contributor to the “tape tree” she would edit and seed high quality recordings. People that wanted copies would send postage/handling/cost of supplies and receive copies.
Of course once the internet/web got bigger and FLAC and such created, physical copies went to the wayside and digital versions were available for download.
It doesn’t seem to much much difference between burning a BD with the data vs paying for internet access that allows someone to download it from you.
Galen didn’t construct the DS, only the laser.
Then how did he construct a convenient way for the rebels to destroy it???
That’s a common misconception. He didn’t. All he did was make an unstable reactor to set off the chain reaction. That’s why he wanted the rebels to steal the plans, so they could figure out on their own how to set it off. He didn’t have a clue how the rebels would do it. It’s entirely possible he was expecting an espionage mission than a bunch of snub fighters trying to make a one in a million shot.
So it would have been possible for, say, a 4 person crew to infiltrate the Death Star and sabotage the faulty reactor using the Death Star plans carried by R2? It’s a good thing there was never the chance for such a sabotage mission or the Rebellion wouldn’t have needed to give away the position of its base and send almost all of its fighters to their destruction.
😉I don’t know, and Galen didn’t either. According to the novelization, it’s implied that Galen signed off on the exhaust port design, but it was confirmed by Lucasfilm recently that he did not design them.
Besides, I doubt Luke and Co. were well equipped to perform such an activity, nevermind knew that was an option. After all, that’d require them to open up the plans (which they can’t just do, it seems like), they’d have to recognize the faulty reactor (And Galen would not just label “Hey, this reactor’s set to blow” on the plans, unlike “Tractor beam power switch”), and then they’d have to deliver a strong enough shock from a remote enough distance (as I doubt anyone but Leia or Ben would be willing to embark on a suicide mission, and one person is not a sufficient force against overwhelming odds, though the force may balance it out).
And that’s assuming it were possible. Neither Galen or myself know what the complete technical readout of that station looks like, so it’s entirely possible that wasn’t an option.
He tricked them into accepting vents as a solution, by providing sound alternatives that would definitely make it work yet required re-work and time line slippage. Ultimately the vents were accepted as a solution and the approval chain of command was short circuited.
Excerpt below of the exchange between Galen and engineering.
“SUPPLEMENTAL DATA: BATTLE STATION ENGINEERING NOTES
[Document #YM3884L (“Waste Radiation Distribution Solutions”), timestamped approximately eighteen months prior to Operation Fracture, sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
Erso:
I had the droids generate a new Systems Safety and Compatibility Report incorporating your team’s proposed adjustments to the reactor core. The new plans triggered a dozen subsystem warnings and spat out one blazing red stain on the line labeled “Hypermatter Annihilator Unit.” I didn’t bother asking my astromech how bad that could be—a redline on a critical system speaks for itself.
Why are we even making reactor modifications this late in the game?
Have your engineers check their work better next time. Suffice to say, no changes are approved.
[Document #YM3884M (“Reply to Waste Radiation Distribution Solutions”), sent from Galen Erso to Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran.]
Vodran:
Sincere apologies. I fully agree that this is unacceptable. The modifications are intended to reduce primary weapon recharge times to satisfactory levels (I’m sure you saw Tarkin’s directive) but sloppy work is sloppy work.
I assume you alerted Director Krennic to the report as well?
More as soon as I’ve spoken with my team.
[Document #YM3884N (“Reply to Waste Radiation Distribution Solutions”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
Director Krennic is copied on all SSCRs, but if he wants oversight on these particular modifications, it’s your responsibility to brief him on your problems.
[Document #YM3884O (“Reply to Waste Radiation Distribution Solutions”), sent from Galen Erso to Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran.]
Vodran:
I alerted the director personally, at your suggestion.
I also spoke to my team and we identified the problem. The reactor core modifications are resulting in radiation buildup, which in turn has the potential of interfering with the hypermatter annihilator.
The buildup is caused by the inner shield actively reflecting excess particles and metaphorically “cooking” the reactor core. Had the shielding team’s research not been so heavily compartmentalized this might have been avoided.
Nonetheless:
The reactor core modifications must remain as-is. Therefore, we are left with three possible ways of avoiding radiation buildup.
Option one: construction of a particle funnel and recycler. This is known and tested technology. I am confident it will function. Physical requirements mean the recycler would need to replace existing noncritical mechanisms under the northern command sector, but I estimate the needed disassembly would take under two weeks.
Option two: further refinement of our reactor technology to reduce waste particles. I have several team members keen on this possibility. They are excited about the potential for a technological breakthrough.
Option three: construction of manual venting shafts and thermal exhaust ports. This should reduce particle buildup to within tolerances but not to a degree I find personally acceptable. In addition, adding venting shafts risks additional incompatibilities with noncritical systems.
Please alert me if you have concerns.
[Document #YM3884P (“Reply to Waste Radiation Distribution Solutions”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
I oversaw construction of the northern command sector myself. Tarkin has already toured the facilities. If the particle funnel and recycler can’t go anywhere else, stick with options two and three.
You might want to give Krennic the final decision. He’s concerned about the timetable.
[Document #YM3884Q (“Particle Buildup”), sent from Galen Erso to Advanced Weapons Research Director Orson Krennic.]
Director:
As we discussed, attached are preliminary reports on two methods for reducing particle buildup. I made my preferences clear in person, but I defer to your judgment.
[Document #YM3884R (“Reply to Particle Buildup”), sent from Advanced Weapons Research Director Orson Krennic to Galen Erso.]
Galen:
New research and technological development is out of the question at this juncture. Work up a full proposal for the exhaust port solution and send the plans to Vodran for SSCR.
[Document #YM3884S (“Venting Shafts”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
Erso:
What is this trash? The Systems Safety and Compatibility Report quit running after two hundred redlines. I only reviewed the first dozen, but it looks like you’re flooding half the station with radiation?
I thought these venting shafts were supposed to solve the problem.
No changes are approved.
[Document #YM3884T (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Galen Erso to Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran.]
I repeat myself, but: I apologize.
As you know, an engineer may be single-minded in his or her focus on a particular task. I, along with my team, have fallen victim to the sin of hubris.
Of course I should have warned you that your droids might register dangers. The venting shafts are designed to expel the majority of the heat and particle buildup, but some radiation leakage is inevitable. We estimate that human crewmembers stationed in any of fifteen sections would—in the event that the battle station fires the primary weapon three times within one hour—be placed at increased risk for a wide variety of long-term health problems. The SSCR, of course, detected this in those “two hundred redlines.”
I am instructing my team to look into all options. To expedite matters, I must request the use of your droids in running several alternative scenarios.
This will be an inconvenience, I realize, but the safety of the battle station’s crew is paramount.
[Document #YM3884U (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
Are the command sectors or officer quarters in the affected radiation zones?
[Document #YM3884V (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Galen Erso to Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran.]
No.
[Document #YM3884W (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
Send me your final plans. I’ll declare the droids in error and override the next SSCR.
I’m not burying Krennic in redline reports while you figure out how to keep a handful of stormtroopers from developing a cough.
[Document #YM3884X (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Galen Erso to Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran.]
That’s not necessary. I’m certain we can resolve this. Even if a technical solution fails, we may be able to alter crew rotation schedules to mitigate any health risks.
[Document #YM3884Y (“Reply to Venting Shafts”), sent from Engineering Operations Manager Shaith Vodran to Galen Erso.]
You may be too obtuse to realize it, Erso, but I’m doing you a favor. This project needed to be done weeks ago.
Send me the final venting shaft and exhaust port plans. I’ll bypass SSCR and submit them for production, manufacturing, and installation.
Changes have been approved.”

The one thing I never noticed was that the dish bisected the equatorial trench in the plans. I wonder if that is something Ady will fix for his new Star Wars Revisited project.
He did that almost 10 years ago now:
But he is changing it back thanks to Rogue One, I believe with the argument the Story Group came up with that the plans contain all of the variations and each one had the exhaust port.
Looks like the original design was actually built. Kind of too close to home for me though 😃

I use the same burner on a windows 10 machine and haven’t had any problem with various brand names of blank BDs. Although I’ve only played them on my Panasonic BD player.
Burning the ISO’s is easy since its an ISO. I just use Widows to do it. Right click on your BD drive, and select Burn.
Also, may I ask which brand name blank Blu-rays you’ve used that have worked for you?
I’ve used TDK, Phillips, and Verbatim discs. 25GB and 50GB
By the way, just to make sure, I don’t even have to extract anything from the zipped files beforehand? The three ISOs look like three WinRAR files to me after I’ve downloaded them. All I have to do is right click on each of the three “WinRARs” and click Burn?
I’ve never used windows to do that (and my Win10 seems to have no such option).
In Windows 10 (and I think it was introduced in Windows 8, if you right click on an .iso file there will be options to mount it and also “Burn disc image” Burn disc image brings up a small dialog to select a Disc Burner and an option to Verify after burning.
If you don’t see the option it may be because .iso files have been assigned a different “Default Program” such as a third party burning or authoring program. That can be changed via Control Panel, searching for Default Programs. Or you could also try right clicking on the .iso and select “Open With” then select Windows Explorer.
Ok, I’m downloading NJVC’s ISOs for the Despecialized trilogy. I know this might be a couple of questions that’ve been asked a million times before, but since this is my first time trying to burn Blu-ray discs (and with fully interactive menus), can anyone here recommend what software I should use and which brands of blank Blu-ray discs will get me the proper results? I’m using a PC with Windows 10, and I plan to watch the eventual Blu-rays on my Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and XBox One S. Also, the burner device I plan to use is the LG Ultra Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer.
This is the device. --> https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-External-Optical-WP50NB40/dp/B011327QXC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1484715297&sr=1-1&keywords=LG+Ultra+Slim+Portable+Blu-ray+Writer
I hope you guys can help me out. =]

Here’s a silly question. How do get to the PM’s?
You just signed up and all you want is an invite to get stuff?
😦
This particular question was where in the profiles do PMs show up.
But yeah. I downloaded versions last year and saw this thread and asked for a myspleen invite like many others have.
The problem I have is that none of you will be contributing members here because all you want is a spleen invite. Sadly, we have people still giving them out willy nilly, and that sucks for us.
😦
I’m not sure I see the downside. You get new members to the forum and maybe give them a chance to contribute. Some will. Some won’t.
At the end of the day people just want to download and experience the project.
If I need 50 or 100 or 500 posts before an invite we’ll so be it.
Meanwhile I’ll go back to watching ANH v2.5
The problem is that people ask for myspleen invites from existing myspleen users, download despecialized, maybe seed it or only leech it, and then never leech/seed anything else on the site. The site owners hate these kinds of people because they dilute the value of not only having a private tracker, but having one of the most unique and vibrant trackers out there, myspleen. Jetrell is right to be upset, and I echo his sentiment. If you are asking for a myspleen invite, be prepared to fully contribute. If you just want despecialized, there are other official and unofficial means of getting it.
This goes for everybody else asking for myspleen invites in this thread, too. If you truly wish to join myspleen, then please do not just hit and run the site for despecialized. Stick around, seed, and look for other cool things to grab and seed. Maybe even upload something, too. There are many ways to contribute to myspleen, but hitting and running is a cardinal sin on this and all other private trackers.
Well that is certainly fair. I personally wasn’t intending to hit and run, although I’m not sure what, besides seeding what I’d download, new content I could contribute now as it’s a new process to me.
I am also ok with exploring the other ways of getting the bluray set, if there are any.
IN the past I’ve joined other discussion forums and have been an active member. I’m also not totally out of the loop with the consume and contribute model of torrents, as I have worked endless hours contributing to various projects sourced on github
I watched SW as soon as I came home from R1… I hope in the near future, some theaters choose to do that double feature.
Thought the cgi was outstanding, save Moff Tarkin being too tall. Still cool to see him strutting around the Death Star.
Dirty Dozen, in the Star Wars universe.

Scroll up to the top right corner, the speech bubbles will take you to your PMs.
Thx!
If anyone out there has the means I’d really like a myspleen invite.
