Star Wars Episode II: The Galaxy Divided (The Brash Cut) - CANCELLED
Time

There's a good guide on lifehacker on installing Snow Leopard from scratch on a hackintosh. And seeing as the upgrade disk for Snow Leopard (25 quid) can also be used for a full install (EULA aside), it's as near a legit way of doing it as you're going to get.

Just slap an apple sticker on that bad boy! :)

Star Wars Episode II: The Galaxy Divided (The Brash Cut) - CANCELLED
Time

I have a video of the opening uploading to youtube as we speak. It's very slow for some reason. Will add a link when it's finished uploading.

In order to change it from panning up to panning down, I've done a freeze frame of the empty starfield for the duration of the crawl and rotated it 180 degrees along with the following shot of the pan up so it now pans down.

A new crawl will be put on top of the freeze frame - I've read before about someone having made a good template for writing crawls (was it for after effects?) Can anyone direct me to this?

And what I'm wondering about my rotated shot is it seems to have lost quality in output when compared to the unaltered shot immediately following it. Anyone got any idea why this is? Or how to rectify it?

I understand that he's a gun for hire and has no side, but there are bounty hunters, and there are bounty hunters.

My impression of Fett is that he's known to be an unscrupulous guy, and I can't imagine the rebels trusting him.

What I could imagine is the rebels handing Fett false information regarding their plans, knowing he'd double cross them, thus giving them an advantage in the attack.

Don't know how that would work in an edit though.

When it's done.

 

When you've been a member here as long as I have, then you can be a smartass to me.

Well it's been raised countless times and the same answer has always been given. When it's done.

The trailer says 2010 I think, but there are no more specifics than that.

Wasn't trying to be a smartass at all. Nor do I think that being here longer than some people gives anyone the right to be.

What I like about it is he's back to being a bounty hunter and like in ESB he gets paid twice for the same job.

The exposition needn't be explicit, all we need to know is the Rebels have paid Fett for tracking the Emperor and finding the Death Star and Vader has paid him for making sure the Rebels arrive at the party on time (Dave just did it like that to get the idea across).

"I hope it's worth the price we paid" takes on a different meaning.

I just don't see it as believable that the rebels would trust a bounty hunter who has just been involved in delivering Han to Jabba the Hutt, and it's clear where his allegiances lie - if you were to argue that a bounty hunter works for whoever pays him the credits, then it would be obvious to the rebels that he'd go back to the Empire (who can pay him more) and double cross them, especially since he's had dealings with them before.

I imagine the rebels would be extremely careful about any bounty hunters they hired. Being a small, vulnerable group, they'd need to be 100% certain where the person's allegiances lay before hiring them.

I like the idea of cutting out his tumble into the sarlacc, and MAYBE seeing him watching as the heroes escape, but none of the needless exposition with holograms and talking to Vader, etc.

He is afterall a minor character, plus it's quite a major change to live with.

Also, love that video by Davnes. Hadn't seen it before :)

Oh okay bingo, I see what you were getting at in your tower description. Cool.

 

Dear God, not more reactor talk.

Who gives a rats if it's a core or not? The main point is that whatever it was, the emperor blew up in it.

 

I don't particularly care whether anyone names it a reactor shaft or not. After all it's not alluded to directly by name in the film. It's open to interpretation.

I just don't like people's assertions that it's definitely not a reactor shaft, or that it definitely is a lift shaft. The latter statement being the most confusing of all because we can see palpy falling alongside the lift shaft, not within it.
