Is there any way to obtain these without the long downloads? Takes me like 5 days for one file (slow dsl). I'll send DVD's to whomever with return postage.

Excellent choice there for the package art. I've seen some of Ric's designs from start to finish and the guy is just so damn talented. Maybe you can send him a set as a thank you for his work. :,)

My theory on this is so the extra editions will fall off the radar of the consumer so when HD-DVD, Blue-Ray hits, they'll release the one disc with all the goodies on it. Consumers will think "hey, that new format offers a whole slew of goodies, I should upgrade".

Does anyone remember this series of cartoons from the early 80's?

http://www.absoluteanime.com/force_five/

I was feeling a bit nestalgic tonight and looked it up to see if any of them were released on DVD. One site has Grandizer:

http://www.grendizer.net/Grendizer_DVD.html

But there's no way in hell I'm paying $99 US for a 26 episode DVD when the quality will more than likely be that of a vhs tape or recorder from TV. Does anyone have any of these somewhere recorded and tucked away in a shoebox or something? If that company continous to release the series' 130 episodes, I'd be looking at close to $500 for childhood memories. I know some would argue you can't put a price on your memories, but apparently someone's taking advantage of this.

Too bad we can't do some kind of preservation thing like the SW DVD's here.

And thanks for hearing me rant a bit.

This is the first time I've read about your project. I must say, it's quite an undertaking. However, from what I've read, you are more than capable of doing this and I look forward to seeing the results. Now, I'm curious (and not sure if there's a faq) is this just for Episode II for the immediate future or do you find it ties is a bit to MagnoliaFan's Episode 1 edit? Regardless, all the best to you in this endeavour and try not to lose sleep working on it.

This sounds interesting. A new version of Balance, Clone War and an edited version of Sith when it's released. We are truly grateful for your talents. I'm curious, did you have to roto Dooku's saber to make it yellow? I just got a job doing some compositing with Digital Fusion (I'm a real padawan on this prog) and wondered how you did that trick.

I see what you mean about more material. I have that poster myself and I think all you have to do is use to clone tool to remove the Clone Wars logo from the poster and you have a working rectangular image. I like what you've done with Yoda and the sabers, it's just that crop takes the balance away from the second one.

Volume II looks well balanced, but Volume 1 bugs me with all that white space in the top-left corner. Perhapse a different poster for that one would square things off a bit.

I know Jupiter Prime from other boards and his site is by request only. If they don't know you from reputation on other cover community sites you'll get shot down. I think it's just a means of his work not being used and abused for piracy. Scarmanga's the same. You may know his awesome work from the grunge metal working of the SW covers. Though I think Rix Graphics covers are readily availible. Just so you know.

Actually, that brings up an interesting question: did they just remaster the SE soundtrack to the original? I'm certain I've seen topics that some things were cut or rearanged. Unless I'm thinking of the unused portions of the score that's on the Deleted Magic DVD.

Does anyone remember that look of the preview booklets they gave out when Episode I came out? I'm thinking of re-creating that look but seem to have lost my book. At the risk of looking too similar to wannabegeorge's works, I wonder what colour scheme I should use for the text and borders. Here's a preview.

So many transfers and projects being released in the future I can't decide on which to get. I remember Zion's screen caps pre-XO and decided I'd eagerly await those. Now, that this is coming together I'm really stoked. As soon as I'm working (hopefully) at this apprentiship I'm going, I'll gladly donate too.

666th poster, eh? Does that mean Lucas shoves a pinapple up your arse in Hell (a la Little Nicky) or vice/versa?

Silly topic title aside, I'm sure many of you heard that Speilberg always wanted to direct an episode of Star Wars and that Lucas asked for his assitance for Episode III. I'm not too sure what Speilberg did but rumors are he directed a few sequences. My theory is that he directed the Kaasykk battle as it was very U-boatish a la Saving Private Ryan. Plus, when Yoda left in his shuttle, it had an E.T feel to it. Did anyone else get the same impression?

I can accept that opinion as far as battle stratogies go; I'd be routin' for the Wookies if they started throwing Clone Troopers like ragdolls when they turned on them if that was shown in the film. My only point was that Ewok speak it less annoying to listen to than Wookie speak.

Okay, saw Ep3 twice over the weekend and I must state that even though the Wookies were underused I still prefer the Ewoks. Before you start flaming… for those of you that have seen the Holiday Special (shudder) that’s all I could think of when Chewbacca and Talfor (sp) were conversing with one another as they said goodbye to Yoda. I can’t take wookie speak seriously – the special tainted me. The Ewoks gave a sense that even though they were short, furry primatives, they had a language that you felt was real. If I want to speak wookie, I’ll talk to dogs and walrus’. Lucas wanted to have the wookies in Ep6 but couldn’t. Now in Ep3 he basically recreates the Ewoks but taller and technologically advanced (minus the Tarzan yell). So… as stated in Clerks: “all Jedi had was a bunch of Mupputs”, I still prefer the Muppets.

Have to totally agree that the second viewing makes the film kind of bland. It didn't feel like it had a lot of weight to it and would love to see what MagnoliaFan could do with it. Though I just have to ask if he's still roaming this thread: did you ever think of getting some people here to volunteer their voices for some of the alien dialogue in your previous edits? The whole, backwards/overlaped dialogue with subtitles made it feel sort of fakely alien. Is there any chance in the future of releasing any DVD-9 versions of the edits? The video quality seems a little too compressed IMO. If you'll be doing III, new technology will allow you to fit more on dual-layer. Hope I don't get thrashed for this, a lot of people argue here that DVD-5 is just fine.
