...Yikes, look at what we've done x[

Perhaps this would be best discussed in a new thread?

DarkFather, since you seem to enjoy his music (I do in a few instances), I thought you might be interested that most of the music isn't actually his.  Have you seen "Bruce Faulconer and the Vanishing DBZ Credits"?  If not, I highly suggest you watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXyUua3ggaU

Wow, I took this REALLY off topic.  Sorry.

I personally can't stand watching subbed anime. It detracts from the visuals if I have to read all of the dialogue. Some elitists say that "That is the way it was meant to be experienced, in the Japanese language!" Well, if I don't know Japanese, which I don't, then I can't experience it exactly how it was meant to be. The director obviously didn't mean for all of the dialogue to be read. So it's a moot point to me.

DIIIIIIID SOMEONE SAY ANIME????  This is where I jump in.  Sorry, anal fan time!  For me, watching dub/sub depends on two factors: accuracy and nostalgia.  Some shows (Samura Pizza Cats, Dragonball Z, anything that was edited for U.S. TV standards) are so heavily modified that they feel like totally different shows in Japanese compared to English.  I always cite Dragonball (in particular Z) - between the new music and HARDCORE hilarity that is FUNimation's sense of humor, it literally becomes a totally different show.  And yet I can sit through the dub sometimes because of that wonderful thing called nostalgia; it really was my first anime that I followed religiously.  G Gundam I watch almost exclusively in English due to nostalgia.  Point is, someone like me can watch both dub/sub comfortably unless one's voices REALLY piss me off (looking at you, Nadia!)

Anyway, sorry about that mini-rant that's almost entirely off-topic; just thought that the issue of how sometimes language barriers make a show become entirely different.  Now, anyone wanna try and relate that to Star Wars so I don't look like a total spazz?  Pleeeease?

It's been done several times, Flashbang.  What you're looking for is something along the lines of Paulisdead's "Vintage Edit" or OCP's Classic Editions.  You can find them in the "fan edits and preservations" section - at least, hints as to where to find them. 

I just wanted to say, that - as a mild Trekkie who hasn't been following the thread or the movie's development - I love Anchorman's posts.  His blend of occasional sarchasm and level-headed arguments are always entertaining, and allow me to see both sides of the issue.

-"You are reckless!"

-"So was I, if you'll remember."

Shoot me, for I'm about to cite the dreaded EU.  Obi-Wan almost wasn't chosen as a Padawan by anyone - heck, he even got sent off to work as a farm boy - because of his recklessness.  So there. :p

I agree with SSWR.  That's a neat idea.

One of these days, I'm gonna have to line up my printer correctly... these are so great, but I never print them right! >_>

or perhaps to Kinko's?  Either way, I think I'll end up using those Ash.

DarkFather, that's a GREAT idea! And as people have said, perhaps pooling together some dialogue from the Jedi Knight games would be a good idea... or the radio drama?  Heck, I'm sure someone at the VAA could do it!

No, this is legally available for free.  It's that kindof movie, so I doubt it.

'S all on youtube too.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw .  While interesting, the video description of how Obama's leading us to a state similar to Nazi Germany kinda threw me off.

Don't we have a politics thread?

Question though: what's the differences on the White Album?  I have the others in mono on vinyl.

Link to news.  Thoughts?  Supposedly the original '80s transfers are of mediocre quality.  I'm mostly interested to see if this will include the alternate (or in some cases closer to the original intent) takes of songs based on some of the original mixes.

Rogue Squadron on the N64 took forever to finish!

The Jedi Knight games are fantastic.

For me the best thing to come out of the prequels was the Jedi Apprentice book series that followed young Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. I know they were supposedly for young readers, but the stories are actually quite good.

Mace Windu: Shatterpoint- Star Wars meets Heart of Darkness.

The 1997 Re-release in theaters.

Electronic lightsabers.

 

Hmm... Jedi Apprentice.  Forgot about that. I'm only missing two or three of the original ones.  Wonderful series, but the first author (Dave Wolverton) who did only one of them, was superior to Jude Watson.

I got your plot outline right here.

Johnny5:

• born a butthead
• lived a butthead's life
• died a butthead

Did you get all that, squirt?

Holy shit he's back o.o

That's a neat idea Davnes.  I'd go for it!

DJ, care to share that timecode avi?

Good to get rid of it, but now he seems just a bit too gold.  I like his gold subtle.  Of course, just my opinion.

Vaderios, you should really consider getting a video editing program and doing stuff like this - you're amazing!

DarkFather, I don't think that was particularly the case.  BUT, my question is, why the same list both times? @_@

53.  The other Star Wars arcade game by SEGA... if I'm not mistaken there are two.

54.  Episode I.  Here comes the flaming...

55.  the Episode I videogame - yup, really reaching here...

56.  Jedi Knight series of video games (all of them are just incredible... dark forces as well, but someone already got to that)

57.  The fanedit community; maybe this shouldn't count, but it does for me.  If I hadn't stumbled upon the Darth Editous edit I wouldn't be here today.  Plus, they ROCK!

58.  Star Wars Starfighter - neat plot to this game...

59.  The revived interest thanks to the prequels.  The movies are in "meh" territory (save for episode I) for me, but if not for them I wouldn't be the Star Wars freak I am now; a little less obsessed.

Well, that's about all I got...

I was gonna complain about the US poster art, but then I remembered just how much better our first Harry Potter one was.  Silly, I know, BUt the point is that - before anyone gets to it - sometimes one's better, sometimes it's not.

I was able to watch it, but not cap it.  Anyone get it?

You know, it occurred to me WHY the Windwaker style has been purused.  If I recall correctly, Mr. Miyamoto based the Zelda games on cave-exploring he used to do when he was a kid.  Hence, the light imaginative look to the newer games.  It's to appeal to everyone's inner child, I guess... I mean, I never cared for it myself - but after analyzing it too much - like I do everything else - it makes more sense.

That makes a lot of sense!  I don't see how they could construct one that's 3 times the size in much less time; makes no sense that they started it way back when, right?

Wow, actually, that would be really funny XD
