So what is the point of our village? By some of the suggestions, it seems we have modern technology, so we are not pretending it is the 19th century or anything.

Maybe in our village is made so we can all raise our families in a mid-nineties world where Star Wars is still cool and exciting and no special editions or prequels exist. Just three movies on VHS, a number of novels, stacks of comic books, and loads of silly merchandise that somehow actually still seemed cool back then.

If we made a movie about our island, it would feel like a period piece taking place in 1995 or so. Then by the end we discover they are really living in the 10's, and that they gave up modern life so that their offspring could grow up SW fans in a world where they don't have to experience the frustrations of all the rifts in fandom and the lack of originals on DVD and/or BD.

I like the text on the screen personally, although it is a missed opportunity, it should have had Ozzle & Piet vitals, one showing Ozzle with breathing issues and then flatlining, & Piet’s heart racing and peeking as Ozzle hits the deck :P

I love that it was Moth3r who did it too. I did a double take.

I'm going to agree with the non-text people. The text boxes are a little much.

There's a chance I might be able to do this.

The HUD on the screen and the glass animations were flawless, though they do come across as kind of prequelish.

I like the moment in AOTC when the Federation ship is brought down and the Clone Troopers are fighting in the dust cloud. Looks great.

That was quick. :)

And like always with these comparison clips, I see the errors I never noticed before, like Piett's shoulder peeking through the bottom of the view screen matte. You can't unsee these gaffes, making me all the more grateful for SW:R.

Note the new displays, and the first glimpse of the 2nd Unit! Can you find them?

The Ion Cannon shot!

Welcome to OT.com. You'll find we're passionate about our opinions, but I'd like to think we're fairly open to alternate opinions as long as you aren't troll-y about them.

I guess I'll be the "IT Guy", but if our commune doesn't have computers or electricity, I'll be the "Guy in the Corner Weeping Guy".

The bogwing pterodactyl-like creatures in these particular scenes were re-comped for the DVD.

Neat! I didn't watch the whole video, but I like what I saw. Unfortunately, I don't have the cash to back such a project, but I wish it well. Also found that the original games are on GOG.com, so I added them to my wishlist!

Shirley you have $15?!?

I just wanted to tell you good luck, we're all counting on you.

I'm seeing if Mrs. O'Five will let me buy the book soon. I should get Chapter 5...

My wife took this this morning/in the 70's:

This is pretty great:

I wrote an article based on the NYT piece Zombie wrote that article from:

http://doubleofive.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/save-star-wars/

So it's the same article where he says its way to expensive and other lies. No new news, that makes me sad. After watching "People vs" last night, I've been hoping he'd come to his senses faster.

Where did you find that quote?

Holy zombie thread, Batman!

Both were shot on film, as they were released theatrically overseas. Very few tv movies were ever shot on video back then.

I still have my Laserdiscs. And I captured my off air VHS recording of Battle For Endor a couple years ago.

That's what I figured.

When do we get Blu-ray's?

Congrats! And you don't want to watch them. Even more scenes you liked have been ruined with no fear of continuity issues.

90% of the avatars are captainsolo for some reason.

I kept finding mistakes in the section on the Special Editions. They called the DVD Jabba "2001" and had video from the DVD labelled 1997, including in the part where they discussed the changes to the titles.
