Well with my version you get more visible detail, better mood, sense of scale( jungle always wins) and light behavior.

We're having postal strikes here in the UK so it's going to take even longer than normal :(

the one armed wampa teamed up with ponda baba would make an awesome comic.

How about showing a cut scene of Yoda meditating.

i didnt realise there was cut dagobah material?

Couldn't "Anakins Betrayal" song go somewhere in ESB or ROTJ?  Like at the end of the Hoth battle or somewhere else.

maybe when luke is being electrocuted if there is a similar montage of the endor battle like the one in ROTS with the jedi massacre. though to be honest im not really for PT music in the OT, aside for when used with the emperor (palpatines teachings) once or twice.

if you bring the OT forward 10 years technologically, (better graphically, more dynamic puppets and aliens), and take the PT back 10 years, (degrade graphics, change tone and pacing, edit colouring and add more vintage music to subsitute the modern choral stuff) maybe they will meet in the middle?

this has to go in

Could Luke and Bens conversation be moved to later in the movie somewhere?

i mentioned it years ago in SSWRs thread, but endor is a possibility.

aside from the typos, that is brilliant! (are they colour corrected thumbnails on the reverse?)

okay, im going to start posting this stuff here as i think adywan may want to keep the ESBR thread clean, and this one is experimental enough.

thanks to davnes for uploading the holday special cartoon. i had a fiddle around in final cut to begin with, and was pleasantly surprised how much the quality was improved by just adjusting the sharpness and brightness/contrast. this wasnt possible with the youtube versions.

comparisons: (editted on left, original on right)

....forgive the stupidly big image..... i have shrunk it down for the forum, but click to see better detail.

Do you mean the KCCI version? I have that one and remember it being heralded as the best quality version around.

i had that one, i think it got deleted a while ago. would someone be able to rip the holiday special from it? (pretty please!:D)

(the only problem with it is you dont get the amazing retro adverts, which you do get on google video. theres an amazing TOBOR toy advert where the tag line is 'TOBOR is ROBOT spelt backwards'.:P)

What do people think..? Don't mind if you don't like, but I'm doing them for myself so thought I'd share.

best so far. looking forward to seeing the rest of them (please to retro prequels! concept art could be a good place for imagery) its good to see the bold red as oppose to blues. are you going to have a different colour per film?

Here is a suggestion for an extra on the DL DVD or whatnot:

would it be possible to include a remastered version of the Boba Fett cartoon from the Holiday Special (as in JUST the cartoon)?

Here is a link:

yes yes yes! i was working on one myself, hoping that a few filters and recolouring could improve clarity. only problem i had was the only source i could get was no better than a youtube copy.

where did you get this screenshot from?

it would be neat to re-edit it slightly so the planet is ord mandell (so hans comment in ESB could reference it), and to add a crawl.

one option could be a fan remake, where we can retrace the cartoon. with enough hands it would be surpirisngly easy and talentless. colouring and repainting backgrounds i can handle.

i wouldnt say blue sabres would be dumbing it down, but id like to make the PT look visually ancestrical to ANH somehow. red lasers and blue sabres could be one of many ways of doing that.

casual viewers coped because they just didnt care i guess. maybe theyre better off.;)

oh what a can of worms this website is!

But these fan edits aren't really for casual fans.

Honestly, I can understand the argument of the old order insisting that everyone have blue, but would Luke care if everyone had green? I figure he just wanted to distance himself from his father, past and present.

which track is the "goodby old friend" piece from? im assuming its in ROTS when obi wan says those very words, or is it something else?

also, is there a more elaborate soundtrack for the PT as there is with the OT? (ie 2 disc as oppose to 1)

I actually disagree. TPM should be like Star Wars was originally: a movie that can stand alone, with just a sequel hook or two to link it to the next one. (Star Wars only really had one sequel hook, but it was in neon lights — DARTH VADER GOT AWAY!) The end should feel like "the end" of the TPM story, like ANH ends on the celebration scene.

i was about to ask if there was a UK person about. who should i request that copy from (thanks in advance to trooperman and erik!)

hope your studies are going alright!!

dark ressurection is great, it is the first ever spaghetti star wars film! revelations was very well done too, but felt like a star was convention on blue screen. there is a pilot episode of a fan series that was never followed that was very well done, and acted (to a degree), but i cant remember the name.

i think by the time ady gets through ROTJ, it would probably become a borderline fan-film.;)

oh no! lord jay! i must be eloquent.:S

i just thought it would be a nice small feature.

having icons on say, adys ANHR, and a different one for ESBR would be quite cool, as oppose to the same icon on both.

there are 4 threads on the SW fan edit board started by bingowings for instance, so we have 4 jabba the hutts there. maybe if there were specific icons for each thread a user could just jump straight to the thread he wants just from a quick glance. of course i can imagine multiple threads going for the same icons which would completely defy this.:P

there is no real argument for, just a whimsical desire for further customisation.

if its a feature that would be difficult to implement, the benefits probably wouldnt outway the effort! but it would be an extra way this forums members could flex their creative muscles!

just out of curiousity, when i first joined, there was an avatar library, what happened to that?

first time looking at this section of OT, just one idea i had.

since the forum changed a few weeks ago, we can now see the thread authors avatar next to each thread. would there be any chance to have a function that would allow the author to specify an icon to replace their avatar in its place.

it would be quite cool to build a small library of these icons.

on a lighter note james earl jones is in this weeks house episode. he plays a dictator who is responceible for the death of many innocents. ooh the irony.

You mean your only plan is to stand behind a few feet of mealie bags and wait for the attack?
