It might be worth (once Ady's inevitable ROTJ:R thread is full swing and it's pretty clear what he definitely isn't doing) to go through threads like the ANH after Ady, Starkiller Ranch and this one and pick out all the possible changes not covered by Ady or DE and work our way through them as mini projects so the final result is a OT fan-edit identi-kit of sorts.

The process could be duplicated when Ady and hopefully a few more editors have really got under the bonnet of the PT.

Working on mini projects like that could be a great step into getting more people to do ambitious projects DE's and Ady's.

My current sig isn't a snipe at DE at all but more of a rallying cry to not let these fine ideas go to waste.

I've wondered about that sig because you are one of the biggest parts of this thread, and I never read DE's quote as a challenge.

RotJR's thread is going to be a different horse.  Ady and I are going to coordinate so I have second post and I will keep the list of changes Ady is going to try to make right there, based on the Wishlist/ANHR Changes format.  I will continue to strike-through and italic things on the Wishlist that Ady is/isn't doing, leaving the Wishlist as an "unfulfilled" list to do what you suggest!

EDIT: Maybe we could have people read through the Wishlist to make sure that it hasn't already been suggested to Ady before they post something...

SIXTEEN new mockups by Angel in the last few days.  Nice.

Hooray

What i won? :D :D :D

 

-Angel

You win me yelling at people who complain they don't get enough mockups out of you!

Wishlist is being updated/reformatted as this is posted.

Edit:005 will you update the list with the latest mockups? :)

I'll get to it!  Lots of stuff, how to sort....

SIXTEEN new mockups by Angel in the last few days.  Nice.

Its not like it needs to be tied into RSS, at least at first.  It could be a personal account YOU (Jay) use to let us know whats up!

I became "friends" with a few posters here on Facebook, but never the other way around.

Wow, I've never heard of anything like that, but I have noticed that Fox's SD channel consistently is 4:3, but the programing is obviously cut off on the sides due to the fact that the "FOX in High Definition" watermark that runs on both the SD and HD goes off the edge of the screen on the SD station!

Like I said, all of my HD locals have the right ratios, even The CW!

EDIT: I'm going to start a new thread on this, and stop taking over Gaff's!

EDIT2: I've never had good luck with my own threads, so nevermind!

Not on topic completely, but Gaff will understand:

The rant I mentioned a post ago has become a reality!

You catch on pretty quick!

But seriously, maybe we should call them air brakes?

ric olie is the pilot of the star destroyer that captures leia's blockade runner and the avenger in ESB and the executor in ROTJ and escaped to live on to a ripe old age- he was handsome to the end though.

All wrong except the last bit.  Why would I join the Empire?

Because the Empire's power and corruption was obvious to you!

Gaffer brings another wonderful review to light!  Very well made, like how you used the full 16:9 screen you were given on the YouTube.  I think its funny that you recorded your laptop and little TV/VCR combo side by side, but it worked great for what you were showing!

That reminds me that I need to make a blog post on my biggest pet peeve, improper aspect ratios!

We went from condolences to actually talking about and contributing to ESBR (thanks to snowspeeder additions), but I have no idea what's going on anymore.  Honestly, I've just been skimming the recent posts.

Finally, I was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed his vocal treatment as well.  Having heard just a bit of it previously, I didn't know if I could take it for 70 minutes.  But for whatever reason, his voice grew on me the more I watched the review.

I experienced the same thing.  The voice makes the review funnier and gives it an almost train-of-thought feel, which I find quite enjoyable.  I'll try to take in more of his reviews, when I have the chance. 

His Trek reviews are great, putting clips of the TNG TV characters next to their contrasting TNG movie characters (ie, the same characters acting completely different).  They made me dislike the TNG movies more, which I view as the Prequel Trilogy of the Treks (though I do like the actual "prequel" Trek, but that's neither here nor there).

Now we've just gone too far!  We're CGI-ing poor baby chickens!

I listen to the Car Talk podcast and Wil Wheaton's Radio Free Burrito while I'm cleaning house or mowing the lawn.  That's about it.

Since this is now the "explain your nick" thread, mine is a combo of TV's Frank from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Professor Frink from The Simpsons.

And I've been looking for an opportunity to tell you how awesome your screen name is:

Your screen name is awesome.

Mine is from a group my friends made in high school, back when everyone was obsessed with GoldenEye 64.  We all picked numbers, I got 005.  When I wanted to change my lame first.last@juno.com email address (to give you an idea of how long ago this was), it hit me to spell it out.  I've used it for everything ever since.

Finally saw Avatar last night and I really enjoyed it.  It was the first 3D movie I've seen and I was surprised how subtle the effect was once I got used to it (in a good way - i liked that there were very few surprise "jumping out of the screen" moments).  The CG seemed very well done, although I'll be interested to see how it holds up in 2D.  The story and some of the dialogue was simple or silly in places, as expected.  But as both a movie and an experience, it worked for me.

It was my first 3D movie too and I appreciated that most of the 3D was bringing depth to the screen, not poking things out of it (like the 3D of the 80's was).  There were a few instances where things appeared in front of the screen, but most of the time the screen was a window that you could see into.

And no, I never would have expected that Avatar would outpace Titanic to the top.  I mean, sure 3D screenings are more expensive, but the real surprise is that 75% of the tickets were for the 3D version.  That's a big percentage!  I wouldn't mind more movies being in 3D, as long as they don't go overboard and just bring some depth to the image.

It would be hard for Adywan to edit the soundtrack in German since he probably doesn't know the language!  Maybe it is a job best left for you!

Good idea on the suns.  Added to the list.  Didn't add the Anakin debate, as I already have like 3 different versions on there.

Following Jay's redesign, I'm now thinking the favicon should be something based on the half-built Death Star:

?

I was going to come start a thread about a favicon, found this one, and even found the icon I was going to suggest!  We're already ahead of the game!

I'd be really surprised if they premiered the new Yoda in France, but who knows, they might have!

I love the flaps. Just throwing my vote in there.

Angel is taking my job.  I am ashamed. ;-)

Sad that the menus are proving to be SO MUCH BETTER than the SE...

Say, what if Shmi wasn't a wirgin and was secretly raped by Jabba the Hutt and Leia could get possessed by the spirit of Jabba and become and power mad despot?

The ambassador of Kamino could present Luke with a clone of Biggs who is programmed to kill him.

Suddenly the sequel saga sounds so much more exciting.

That really got to me.  It would be better if they were clones of Porkins though.

I have a 20 GB hard drive (and no HDMI) on my Xbox, and I have to say that I wish I didn't have to worry about space.  I had Left 4 Dead 1 on my hard drive for a few months and not hearing that disc drive spinning was awesome.  I'd have all of my games on there (but Halo 3, which doesn't run well from the hard drive and a game of which I am so over).

I'd go Elite, even if you don't think you won't use it.  You could, and that's the rub.

The only officially announced changes are in italics on the Wishlist.  Most of them are pretty vague at the moment ("do something about" this, etc)
