A remark made by Robert Harris around the time of Fantasia's rerelase claims that Disney is well aware of their work not being representative of the original intent of the animators/directors/etc and that they are in fact creating these "updates" (new color pallets, etc) as well as restoring the original work elsewhere.  At least, that's what I got out of it.

Sounds like an interesting cut!  I haven't heard of an all-in-one edit that goes that far.  And it sounds like it works, too, from the sound of the reviewer.

If he won't release it, that's a shame - though I totally get why.  Probably along the same lines of the reasons that mverta wont' release Legacy.

I didn't know that the TV Land rips had time cuts... :( shame, they were fairly good quality.

The Hub aired the series in full, with your average "cut the credits for an advertisement" thing that everyone does now.  They have an HD channel but I do not get that so I didn't cap them.  Did anyone?  That might be the best plausible source, assuming someone could just splice the credits in from a lower quality version.

^Welcome back, CA.  Sorry to hear that it sounds like things aren't going so well. Best of luck to you in the future.

I was at Disneyland last Sunday and didn't go on Star Tours.  But that's not what this is about.

On the way back to the lot, I heard a mother telling her son about the movies because of how much he liked the ride.  He was probably 3 or 4.  She said that in the movies he'd met Darth Maul first, and then Vader.  Oh well.

For the record guys you might want to notice that there's a reserve on the auction, so even if it stays at a decent price there's a chance he won't sell it for what it ends at...

Unnecessary calling attention to personal feelings, was Unnecessary. My bad folks.

-1 wasn't the whole point of the blog so that this kind of stuff would be privatized and it could not be traced back to you?  Your posting all sorts of images recently goes against your previous habit of deleting ALL YOUR POSTS.

Yep.  It was down today.  

Obviously you've been gone too long. He's come back.

SilverWook was tempted to pick up one that appeared on ebay but I don't know if he did.  I know there's a member who owns the full film in 8mm scope, but it was only mentioned offhand and no talk of a transfer was ever done as far as I know.

P.S. Your selection of horror movies sucks.

Blame their contract with Starz running out.

I'm not banking on there being the original sound mixes - this is a Lucasfilm movie series, after all - but the more recent HDTV rips actually look stunning.  I'm curious to see how the Blus will step up that quality.

And we know there won't be any tinkering, these are Spielberg's movies too... hell, he might actually be crazy enough to re-add the reflection in the snake pit.

That's it.  I just saw some old pictures of me from 5-6 years ago.  I'm getting into shape.  I don't know how I'm going to go about this, but I must.  I actually wasn't fat then!  Of course, I never would have believed that if you had told me.  But seeing that and comparing myself to now just makes me think it has to be done.

I think Frink made this thread before.  I'll check for it later.

As it stands the original version is an interesting deconstruction of the political side of the PT.  The plot actually seems smart and thought-provoking when explained from this angle... hmm, I wonder how the prequels would have gone if it followed Palpatine exclusively?

If you're not entirely sold on keeping it near-identical to the original video I would recommend adding some more comparisons to said kind of terrorism as it has appeared in real life.  A little bit of elaboration on the history of False Flag terrorism a tiny bit here and there would really help; even just little tidbits of real-life examples that directly relate to the element of false flag terrorsim being discussed at the moment scattered throughout might be good.  At certain points, it feels a little like plot summary.

Also, if the original video really WAS made in Movie Maker, I'm really impressed.  I know firsthand how limiting it can be.

I'm not sure what your specific subject is for the fan documentary, but the render you have there interests me!  You might want to head over to the Preservations and Other Fan Projects section and create your own topic where you can share more about your plans.

At least now it's acting like it is.  Guess it's Mediafire time guys.

-1, you are such a tease!  That looks stunning.  Hoping to hear more back at the blog.

Essentially, yes.  Perhaps more in-detail if someone is willing to do these write-ups.

"There's a site, too?"  Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a fair amount of people actually forgot that.  I practically did myself.

Since my "redesign" thread failed miserably, I was hoping maybe this specific idea might go through.  I think the main site should have featurettes, similar to Save Star Wars.  A FAQ or anything, really.  

However, more specifically, I was thinking featurettes on some of our community's fan preservation efforts.  Something like what the remnants of fanedits.com looks like, only consolidated into Star Wars preservations.  It might give some credibility to the main site in showing that, yes, we have done more than endless bitching in an attempt to improve our situation with the movies.  Yes, said information is readily available here on the forums, but I feel like it's important to add to the main site.  Thoughts?

Forgive me if I'm being inarticulate or unreasonable.

Wow.  Thank you so much!  And Harmy... I can't believe that.  That is stunning.  I am ready to be wowed by this movie much the same way I was the first time I saw Star Wars in widescreen.
