the orange isn't just for the football team,  that is your college's colors.   All your sports team wear those colors.   I can't see how stores being empty on Saturday would be an annoyance.  As for the Sportstalk,  if you don't like it, don't listen.   Surely there must be other radio stations to listen to.   4 hours a day is nothing.  In Philly,  we two stations that talk Philly sports 24/7.  What's wrong with people  being nicer and friendlier.   As for putting your pride in a bunch of 18-22 year olds,  I guess if you aren't a sports fan, you wouldn't understand.

None of this is an "annoyance" exactly, but the reason I don't like college football is that the entire county I grew up in hinged their entire lives upon it.  They took it way too seriously for my tastes.

Thanks to YouTube, here are the comparisons of Raisin Puppet vs CGI Yoda:

The colors are off on both the screencaptures I found online and the screencaptures I made off of a YouTube video of a guy pointing a camera at a massive LED screen, but here is the visual comparison of Yodas:

Still doing subtitled R2 and Chewie?

I've never lived on a College Campus,  what is the big problem with the football culture? 

Example (and I didn't even go there myself):

University of Tennessee, Knoxville.  Everything is that disgusting color of orange, including the McDonalds on campus.  The best time to go shopping?  Saturday, as everyone will either be in the stadium or at home watching/listening to the game.  I mentioned that talk radio station?  "SportsTalk" was on for four hours every day, near constant talk of college football.  You used to FEEL it in the air when the team lost, as the entire city got depressed.  When they won the National Championship, it seemed like everyone was nicer and friendlier for several months.  I used to make fun of Peyton Manning back then (until he got drafted by the Colts, my hometown NFL team) as being like their Jesus and football their religion.  They take football and their college pride way too seriously for my tastes.  The entire county put their pride in a bunch of 18-22 year olds who could do no wrong.

Did we just get UN-Godwined?

Hey this is off topic but those looking for more of the CGI Yoda proof in EP1 look no further than here starting at 2:17 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF8yjbNzyi8&feature=related This is even more than the ROTS DVD showed on it's short documentary of the EP 1 CGI Yoda.

 

This is from STAR WARS IN CONCERT.

IS it me or did they screw with the color in that scene (again!) Could someone put up a Spit screen comparison 

I'll try my best!

He means something higher quality so he could print it out.  Its kind of fuzzy, and too small for proper printing.

I still can't believe Skynet's big plan to get John Connor was to have John break into a Skynet facility where they were holding Kyle using information gained by a Terminator with free will.  Instead of, you know, killing Kyle.  I was yelling at the screen (well, I was yelling through most of the movie), "JUST KILL HIM!" ;-)

That model kit is awesome!  The detail you put into it is incredible, I wish I had half of that patience.

I forgot something else about the OT videos.  Not only did the Mos Eisley Cantina video have random shots from the pub in Episode II, it ended with the infamous Greedo-shooting-while-Han-shoots-twice!

The colors were still messed up, for those hoping for them to be previews of a newly remastered Blu-ray.  ANH was dark, ESB was blue, RotJ still had green matte boxes, etc.  Heck, one video ended with the shot of Vader and Luke's sabers crossed in front of the Emperor, but it was definitely the 2004, what with Vader's being pink and Luke's not going all the way across.

Scrooge(the Musical starring Albert Finney)

We don't have any traditional movies, but this is one of my wife's favorites.  We haven't watched it yet this year, not really sure I want to.  So many other things to watch!

I am not a fan of college football, and never have been.  One day I happened to be listening to a talk radio station in Knoxville (where if they're not talking politics are talking sports) and they were complaining about how college football works.  I was appalled.  Seriously, the entire Bowl system is based on polls?  That's really dumb.  I may not understand it completely, or actually care at all, but it seems unfair.

I went to the Concert in Indianapolis Saturday night (one of the last US shows), and I have to say that it was incredible.  I didn't get to see the memorabilia, but the show itself was great.

My full review is here.

Relating to groups on the board specifically:

FOR PURISTS: The intro video started with the Original Trilogy and threw the Prequels in afterward, as it should be.  Same with the credits.

FOR PT LOVERS: The main show itself was PT-OT, and most of the OT videos had PT clips thrown either as flashback ("your father's light saber" faded into a shot of Anakin using a green lightsaber in Ep3, inexplicably) or somehow bringing the Battle of the Naboo Plains into the video for the Forest Battle, making a video with both Ewoks and Jar Jar!

FOR FAN EDITORS: There were a couple new shots of CGI TPM Yoda.  The head seemed a little big, but anything is better than the lazy-eyed, dying raisin puppet they made.

FOR ADYWAN: My wife turned to me after a video showed Vader's Torture Droid and remarked that it must have been a clip from the original version (not the SE), since there was no electricity on the needle. :-D

how about post a video on youtube asking GL to give us a poper release.

It could help.

I tried using Twitter to get a celebrity endorsement, but it hasn't worked yet.  Simon Pegg would be a good candidate (@simonpegg), as he is pretty vocal about his anti-prequel/SE feelings.  I also tried, Wil Wheaton (@wilw, whose 1.5 million followers could boost the numbers), The Digital Bits (@thedigitalbits, who is also anti-SE and used to be here, right?), Grant Imahara from Mythbusters (@grantimahara, he worked on the prequels but seems like he might want to preserve the originals), io9 (@io9) a sci-fi news site, and TrekMovie (@trekmovie).

I also emailed The Digital Bits directly.

Is it even JEJ in Episode III?  He is uncredited (but he wasn't credited in Star Wars when it first came out, was he?)

I agree.  One of them NEEDS to be the "Blu Not Blue!" tagline! ;-)

So, as far as Schwartz saber colour

Do people think they need to be changed or kept the same colour?

I am re-rotoscoping them, but I need to know what people want.

I would keep the original colors.  Changing them to match the Star Wars movies just seems to take away part of the parody aspect, at least for me.

I added petition links to the ANHR Change List and RotJ Wishlist, which actually get a surprising number of people stumbling across them from all over the internet.

I don't want a whole thread just for my blog, so if you put a link on your blog, you could use this thread.

Why are so many people being a bummer?  I mean, isn't this the same site that might have gotten us the GOUT (for all that's worth)?  The only thing we could do that would be better is convince Spielberg to convince Lucas to do the right thing! LOL

Same answer he always seems to give.  If JEJ indeed dubbed for it, then the scene was shot and made pretty far into the editing stage.  What scene, etc?  Wouldn't it be in the novelization or comic book, or any of the other scenes from there?

I will be following this project with great interest!

I had ready a mockup but the damn PS crashed :(

It were replacing the whole wrong background in a shot with the atat, adding the fallen walkers and adding some at sts.

I will try to remake it eventually :(

Like this, but with AT-STs (and better?)
