Dark Jedi,
What features are on this release? And is it the unedited version of the film?

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Does anyone have a custom cover for this?
Thanks!

http://www.geocities.com/cecinid/downloads.html
That site has the VH1 I Love the 80s feature on the film, as well as plenty of other stuff, for downloads.

Do we know what extras are going to be on this as of yet? The aforementioned site has a ton of stuff that could be used for supplemental materials. I really think we should load this thing up as much as possible.

And check out this Howard-related beer ad to promote the film (!) - http://www.geocities.com/cecinid/howardbeer.jpg

I hope someone, Darth Neo or another person on here, has and can share this, otherwise we are all going to feel the Star Wars equivalent of blue you-know-whats.

Still, thanks Neo for the heads up on this and I can't wait to check out the website. Gary Kurtz is the unsung hero of the original trilogy in my opinion.

Are these screenshots from your copy? If so, they look pretty clean. This is like finding the Holy Grail just lying around in a shoebox. Hard to believe that no info about this has come out before and makes you wonder what other treasures are lying about in the Lucasfilm archives. And dig Kurtz's funky beard! I want to see this for sure!

A few years back, VH1 aired a 1/2 hour “Where are they now?” special featuring new footage/interviews as well as the band appearing on the show “The List,” discussing rock moments in character. I think it would be great to see if anyone on here has these appearances, as well as any other vintage Tap TV appearances, to compile into a supplemental DVD. This could feature the various Tap commercials (Sportscenter, IBM, etc), their SNL appearances, Talk show performances etc.

So my question is, what Tap stuff does everyone here have, and is there interest in this project. I have the VH1 shows on VHS, but no way to transcode it, though I’d happily donate it to someone who can. Chip Rowe’s Tap website - http://www.spinaltapfan.com/ is a great source for knowledge on all things Tap.

Your thoughts?

That's the link for an old issue of Bantha Tracks dedicated to Howard. Might make an excellent supplemental feature for this disc.

I’m not sure how feasible this is, but would anyone be interested in a DVD-ROM full of scans of old Bantha Tracks issues? I think this would be a really great bonus feature on a Star Wars fan edit, and seeing as they covered all of Lucasfilm’s output, there’s stuff to please Indy, Willow and Howard the Duck fans as well.

So, does anyone have a complete run of these?

As the person who initially started this thread almost a year ago, I am thrilled to see this coming to fruition. I thank all of you for your hard work and diligence and look foward to seeing the end results. I just wish I could track down those radio spots and more rare stuff to make this special edition really special.

I have the EFLA HBO First Look Special on videotape. I have no way of encoding it to AVI or Mpeg for the transfer. If someone on this forum who lives in the US (since its an NTSC tape) can do so, PM me.

I'm pretty inept when it comes to uploading, seeding, torrenting, etc, but I can tell you that Hyperland and the South Bank Show (as well as some of the Big Ideas Adams pieces) can be downloaded here as AVIs.

I hope this helps.

Hello,
I'm actually not sure about the quality in my link being better than the YouTube version. I just don't know how to download stuff from Youtube without it being too pixalated, so that's what I was basing my judgement about quality on. I tried downloading the video from YouTube using VDownloader and it looked horrible. Does anyone know any good downloading tools for that site?

You can download the film's trailer in wmv format (which Nero easily encodes) at:
http://www.karcreat.com/HowardTrailer.html

There's also a better quality than Youtube version of the video at:
http://www.karcreat.com/HTDMP3Download.html

(Karcreat's site has some MP3 stuff as well, including the title song)

There were a ton of radio ads for this as well, the angle was "Who's Howard?" to try to stir up some interest about the character to people unfamiliar with the comic. There was also Topps candy Howard's and a read-along storybook I believe. Any and all of these things would be fun to add to the DVD if we can track it down.

Also, there was the Commodore 64 game, which was actually a sequel to the film. I used to have this in the original box. Here's some info:
http://www.lemon64.com/index.php?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/reviews/view.php%3Fid%3D709

Here's the great promo ad for the game: http://www.lemon64.com/index.php?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/reviews/view.php%3Fid%3D709

Here's an article about Howard-related subway graffitti in 1980s New York City: http://www.mcny.org/collections/painting/pttcat116.htm
(You can see this briefly in the film Style Wars as well)

The way I look at it, is let's load this thing up with as many special features as possible, since we probably will never get an official release. Maybe even include the "I Love the 80s" VH1 segment about the film that featured Lea Thompson as well. Text

I made a rough version of the DVD just with the spy shorts and the Mountain Dew ads. Does anyone know exactly how many there were? I want to make sure I have them all before I get this thing going.

The Japanese TV series (which is amazingly strange) got an official release there last year in an 8-disc box set:

Getting a US version of this would be astonishing.

That's a fairly in-depth article about the unreleased Mad Pilot.

Hello,
I have compiled a (nearly) definitive collection of all the old Spy vs Spy Mad TV shorts and the four Mountain Dew ads for a project I'd like to do. I have extremely limited access to a DVD burner at this point, but I'd like to somehow get this going. I also have an excellent copy of the Unaired Mad Magazine TV pilot cartoon from the 70s that also has a Spy vs Spy short--but its on VHS and would need to be encoded. Is there interest in this project, if so, perhaps I can sent the AVIs to someone here and we can take it from there.

Additionally, wouldn't it be great to have all of the Spidey Super Stories segments from The Electric Company compiled on one DVD? I remember seeing VHS comps of this on sale at sci-fi shows years ago. It would be great to have for sure.

Your thoughts?

I think the main reason pay for these things is because they aren't tech savvy enought to get it for themselves, or, like me, they don't have access to a DVD burner to make their own copy. I'm practically begging shamelessly for a copy and getting no response, so I can understand the frustration of folks who are eager to see this but have no other way to get it than to buy it from a soulless scalper.

I hear that someone is already selling this on Yahoo auctions with a bunch of other fan-created projects. This angers me, as i'm sure it does all of you. Do a google search for "returning to jedi" and you can find it.

Anyways, if anyone can make a copy, please PM me. I have no access to a DVD burner and I'm DESPERATE to see it.

Baby Hum,
That's an amazing store, isn't it?

Also,
Was there a making of special shown on TV for the film? I vaguely remember seeing a featurette, but not sure if it was for the video or the actual film.

FYI: the Topps cards had a ton of stills from deleted scenes.

I can't wait to see how this project shapes up.
