Perhaps, but wouldn't it be a blast giving it a go?

Shouldn't need to if you're using a PAL source.

You know... If this guy is for real, 1300 bucks wouldn't be that much of a chore to collect. Now if only we had someone with the equipment (and knowhow).

I'm not sure that particular clip's any good. When I import it into Premiere the video seems to run at 1 1/2 speed of the audio. Maybe someone more skilled in video editing could take a look at it.

I voted "No". I'd love to be wrong.

Thanks everyone for supporting me here.

Neil

Could you expand on that a little perhaps? What's your reasoning?

It's my understanding that Moth3r wanted to retain the original pitch as close as possible to the NTSC version and all the doubters and naysayers really should take a good close listen to it coz it's actually got plenty of punch and sufficient headroom to sound as good as if not better than many LD soundtracks ripped and compressed. Take for example the explosion with the gas torch just prior to Darth Vader's entrance on the Tanative.

Any chance someone could tag team those last two clips, Megaupload says I've reached my limit. If needed I can tag team the first two to my own server.

You know... Steve Irwin was one of the few decent people doing something good in this world. I think it's a damn shame this happened to a top bloke like him and I'm sure he would have had plenty of good years left.

You will be sorely missed cobber.

For me, Star Wars is the only thing that's canon.

If so much of the story hadn't been subsequently changed, I could consider the other two films of the O.T. as "canon" ... but Darth Vader being Luke's father, Princess Leia his sister are drastic revisions that are at odds with what's presented in the first movie.

I think of the Star Wars universe as having many concentric layers of EU, kind of like nested Russian dolls. Episodes 5 & 6 are one layer of expanded universe, not entirely matching the original. The prequels are a further layer, further removed. Shadows of the Empire yet another outer layer, and the other EU materials - games and novels that I've never even experienced - a still further away layer of expanding information .... but like the game 'telephone,' each new incarnation suffering from a bit of expanded miscommunication.

Star Wars is it. The rest are shadows and reflections - often interesting, sometimes entertaining. But none of it the real thing.

.

Well put, very eloquent, and IMO 100% bang on.

There are snakes and lizards on Degobah in ESB.

There's teddy bears on Endor.
