Take all the time you need. Remember, the only deadline is the one you make. We've waited 6 years (13 if you count the original SE), we can wait longer. :-)
Yes, Xbox, definitely. While you do have to pay for online play, you get what you pay for. Voice chat on every game, a party chat system where you can chat with several of your friends even if they're playing different games, and the achievement aspect is strangely addictive and makes you try to do things in your game that you would never do otherwise, giving you more game for your buck.
PS3 is a great Blu-ray player and will be upgradable to the 3D Blu-ray spec, but it just doesn't have the exclusive games that made the Genesis/SNES war so interesting.
My gamertag is doubleofive, if you want to hook up on Left 4 Dead 2, the only game I seem to be playing recently.
I sent links to a bunch, but I don't think any of them signed.

but Luke on his own escaping the Imperial Palace on the Imperial capital planet just doesn't make sense.
Wait, bingo wings, why are you saying Luke on Coruscant in the Imperial Palace wouldn't make sense(after the Emperor dies)?
I think he means that Luke, by himself, basically assassinates the leader of the Empire and his right hand man, then just walks out.

I'm quite proud of this one, simple though it is, because it's done entirely with AviSynth filters and is essentially an automatic morph.

That's pretty impressive for a script!
No matter what, NBC is screwing everyone over, audience included.

I agree that Conan isn't innocent in this. He says he won't allow The Tonight Show to be moved back a half hour because it wouldn't be The Tonight Show anymore. Regardless of if he really belives that or not, it's obvious it isn't his only motive.
If the "Tonight" Show is moved to 12:05, it becomes the "Tomorrow Morning" Show. ;-)
I've not seen much of either, but I've enjoyed every clip I've seen of Conan and not liked every clip of Leno. My big problem is NBC. Why did they let/make Leno leave TTS, then get mad when no one watches his new show and give him his old time slot back and not just give him back TTS?
OK, it does look like the first two links I posted point to two posts that don't exist. Here is the header and first few lines for the first one:

Can't wait to see what Adywan has decided to do with his whole Vane sequence eventually....
well originally it was going to be done in a similar way to Darth Editous' brilliant concept (BmB, how the hell can you say that it wasn't done well, especially how good that shot looks and i doubt thats even his finished version), but ever since DE showed everyone how he had done it i really needed to go down a different route or it will just look like i was copying his idea. I'm heading for a large model of the shaft and vane but will be a longer zoom in shot blending in the matte shot and the shot where luke walks towards the entrance.
Looking at the matte shot it really does make the vane look really thin, but when we see it from underneath we can see that it is a lot fatter than we originally thought. The other thing to fix in those scenes is the position of the window. It keeps changing its position and is way to low down after the first matte zoom shot
If you didn't use something just because someone else did it, you'll be doing this edit for a looooong time. ;-)
But seriously, unless you are redesigning the vane from scratch, I'm sure DE won't be offending if you use his idea.

Oh, the other thing i do to prolong the game is when i reach the center space for the final question, i must answer all 6 on a single card in order to win the game.
I have to do exactly that also!
If your computer has the power. Mine ran, but man was it choppy!
In this video, Carrie Fisher makes fun of the Holiday Special and says she made a deal with Lucas to get a copy to show at parties when she wanted everyone to leave. She sounds serious, but with the way she sounds now, I can't tell anymore.

At the core you have the original artists work, the cameramen, the model makers, the set builders,the lighting, the sound, the music, the photographers, that cast and yes the writers but Ady's work is so much more than a new frame and a dusting down of the canvas.
It looks brand new in a way I don't think even Ady himself anticipated when he set out to do ESB:R.
"Dynamic" is the one word I would use to describe the New Years clip. Nearly every shot has something added to it to make it more exciting. If I were allowed to do a comparison (can't because of Ady's "no screenshots" clause), I really don't think static images would do it justice.

Well there's always room for lossless video on the HVD discs. :D
Regardless one would assume that Star Wars, being what it is, is always destined to return to the big screen. And then you want more than 1080p.
Also I don't think 4k will be used for home video for at least another 30 years if at all.
Prequels = shot in 1080p. Can never get higher quality. Lucas probably feels that 1080p is good enough for anything now.
I feel bad that I think the trailer looks like fun. Maybe its the Movie Trailer Guy doing the classic intro voiceover...
I had that problem, check your spam filter.

Although if someone wants to nitpick, the new petition here simply asks for the original versions restored, while the banner could suggest we want whatever version as long as the colors are proper. Some people unfamiliar with the films might think from the banner that the original versions were released with the wrong colors when that was actually one of the things the unaltered dvd's got right. I don't think it's a big deal but those who would call us "whiny fanboys" might use it as another lame response.
Right, I just liked Ripplin's "Blu Not Blue" line. I can try something along the same lines with GOUT vs Adywan's AVCHD, but I don't have a clever line for it!
I believe 4:3 Blu-rays that are pillarboxed are STILL a 16:9 image. I don't have an SD TV to confirm, but I think it would have black bars all the way around the squarish image.
brash_stryker said:
As cool as I think this new Adywan logo looks, for originality and consistency's sake, I prefer the old one. I would much prefer to have the same logo as in ANH:R but with a slightly different theme to it. I think it has more of an impact than something that's a rip off of an existing iconic logo.
Just my opinion.
After thinking about the "new" logo, I agree 100% with brash. The "original" logo was unique to Ady, and just needs a more ESB-er theme and its set just the way it is.
Speaking of which, I put more stuff on it a few minutes ago. You wouldn't believe how many people stumble upon the list searching for random RotJ phrases and stuff!

Hi GUYS thanks for your compliments regarding that Intro thing I did.
Iv had another attempt at it thanks to vaderios-Angel for the links he provided.
I changed the Music to the Emperor's theme but I didn't wanna get rid of the 20th Century fox music so then I kinda remixed it, Used my old D-jaying skill but I think I got Carried away, but I also cut them Emperor's theme just using the intro and outro off that track...
THIS IS NOT FINAL VERSION as the the X Wing textures are not Complete so the rendering on that looks shit..
I still need to replace the SKY and also the city lights as they look crap
I spent most time animating the X-wing movement cos I wanted to add I slight Wobble to it.
anyway guys take a look

Looks great! Some nitpicks though... You can see the reflection of the X-Wing on the platform it came off of (which is awesome) as you spin it around to make the flight across the screen. Other than that and some tweaks for the audio (replacing the TIE sound with an X-wing one and music edit), I think its great!

I wouldn't read too much into the framing. Whenever something gets transfered, it is usually cropped to some degree, even if it is anamorphic. They re-oriented the cropping a little bit for the concert/new master, probably just based on the choices of whoever was supervising the new transfer.
So this does show that there IS a new master/transfer, and they cropped from it? Wouldn't that be a big deal? They didn't just paste the CGI Yoda over the DVD, its on a whole different/new transfer.
Lucas was there to promote his book, not Star Wars specifically.
At least he read through the thread, that's more than a lot of people have done.
