Remember when we called the A New Hope edit "ambitious"? Is there a word that is beyond ambitious, because that's where it's headed!

This thread isn't complete without some of the best moments from the SW saga! Enjoy!
Yes. Awesome.
That's awesome, my friend. I'm really proud of my character that looks just like me, but I have to say that I'm tempted to make an all SW band now!

Another video...this time testing out a totally different ending for ROTJ.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUJL7c3-yro
I started this before Adywan had ever mentioned ROTJ:R...actually I got alot of the ideas from the Starkiller Ranch thread...back when it was still alive...*sniff* ;)
I started this video about two years ago and continued to add and change things as i went along.
Some ideas I first started off with don't seem near as fesible now (new 3PO dialouge)...plus some ideas seem a bit...fan boy-ish.
But there are some ideas I do like...that being the main reason I decided to finally post it now. I want it to be floating around for a while so people can watch and comment on what they like and don't like...maybe this will help Adywan with some ideas...we'll have to wait and see!Oh! And I'd better comment now that I *don't* want Hayden in this version...I simply don't have a good copy of the GOUT to use. :D
Very clever! Loved the concepts, great work. I love mockups.

What about the fine molds Falcon, have you started it Ady? Are you gonna do any modifications to the kit, LED lighting etc, or will you add effects post filming, thats what I'm keen to see, have you got any way to track the camera for some smooth shots?
J
The Falcon is going to be one of the last things i build along with the new rebel hangar. Its going to have the full lighting to match the studio model and the full size set model. I'm going to be building a camera rig so i can get the smooth motion needed
You're crazy, anyone ever tell you that? But we wouldn't have you any other way. :-D

If only luke had gave in his application for the academy lmao. Would have been a brilliant reason for how Vader found out his name lol
Vader sits at a desk, looking through applications:
"Hmm, what's this? Good piloting skills, slight whining problem. Sounds like he'd be alright. What's the name here: 'Skyw---' No... Where's he from? Tatooine? Who is his guardian? LARS?! No, certainly Obi-Wan wouldn't be stupid enough to..."
Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to be on travel for my company next week (details in the "Going Away?" thread). If list-worthy stuff happens, just keep track and someone (Bingo?) PM me with it when I get back.
I'll catch up later.
I guess this is kind of an "away message" thing? I'm going on travel with my company to visit our east coast offices (DC, Chesapeake). Nothing too fun. I might be able to find time to visit randomly, but it is doubtful.
PM me if you need me, I guess.
Ric, obviously?
So you changed it so he doesn't have a stupid accent. There's not enough change there to warrant posting the whole thing really if you're just going to correct his grammar...

Unless Skywalker was a common name, you think for as smart as Vader supposedly is, it would ring some bells. 20 some-odd years is not long enough to forget your entire first 20 years of existence, especially when it was defined by being pronounced the "chosen one" and finding the love of your life. You would think Vader would at least check it out... it's not like he had anything better to do, other than stand around making Tarkin look good.
If I also recall, didn't Shmi (or whatever Anakin's mothers name was) mention that Owen was her brother, and that is why Obi Wan gave Owen Luke to begin with? Of course, this conflicts with the ANH original story line that Owen was Kenobi's brother (King Arthur connection - Arthur was given to Kay's dad [can't remember his name] to take care of. At his coming of age, Arthur finds out that his "dad" is a surrogate and he is the true son of Uther Pendragon, who in the STAR WARS universe is still very much alive).
And now I've gone cross-eyed...
It has been a long time since you watched the prequels... Shmi married Owen's dad, making Owen and Anakin brothers. Uncle Owen is actually Luke's uncle, not "Uncle" Owen as had been assumed.
One of the fun things I do in light of the prequels and RotJ is watch ANH and ESB and yell out "LIE" every time Obi-Wan tells a lie or half-truth (depending on your point of view; I'm sure he was telling the truth in the script, but later revelations show him to be lying).
Well, its fun for me...

From what I read while trying to look into this, Kenner was in charge of naming many of the background characters that got figures, so if that is the case, and the names came from them and not anywhere else, then I concede that the original names they gave them were initially correct and the change may have been made retroactively.
That would change everything! If the script and novelization call the humanoid "Tuckuss" and the toys call him "4-LOM" and the droid "Zuckuss" and Kenner came up with the name "Zuckuss" than TUCKUSS is the canon name and Kenner messed it up by calling him "4-LOM"!
So many layers! I just go with my gut, and my gut says Kenner got a picture of the line up that said "here are the guys" and they either made up names for those that had none, or the names were given backwards, or somewhere down the line from toy design to packaging someone got the names crossed. They would look very similar if the toy wasn't painted.
To me, 4-LOM is the droid and Zuckuss is the humanoid. It just makes sense.
I pray he was joking. Well, I guess this isn't strictly for Adywan, so theoretically someone who makes another version of ESB with green lasers would want to have them match in RotJ. But that would make it an ESB suggestion, not a RotJ one.
But seriously, I like the idea of cutting the name out the first time.

I did some research (I searched the Googles), and there was no front of card with Zuckuss or 4-LOM listed. One of "IG-88 and Boba Fett", but the other card is just the line up of bounty hunters. I couldn't find the back of the card though to see if it ran down the list on there. Anyone have the cards handy?
So maybe the question is whether the card back listed the names and applied them in the same arrangement that was embraced 1989 onwards.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. The problem is that we don't know where any of the companies got their name information. Who's to say that Kenner didn't give the names to Topps, or if there was one master document that got sent to all of the companies that had that typo?

Wookieepedia:
In the fifth draft of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Zuckuss's name is misspelled as "Tuckuss" and he is described as a "Human-type" bounty hunter. This error was also carried over into the novelization.
If we're making typos "canon", what's REALLY his name? ;-)
4-LOM isn't in the novelization, and it sounds like he's not mentioned outside of the toys until 1989, where the Galaxy Guide add-on to the RPG gives the correct names for him and Zuckuss.
It seems to me that the only source for their names were the toys (which were incorrect even in 1985) until 1989, where the names were "corrected" from that point on.

Oh, I definitely hear it. The main melodies are exactly the same. One is sung by a dark, creepy church choir, while the other is sung by overenthusiastic children. Other than that, they're the same. (The "celebration" music around the kids singing is quite different, but that's not what we're talking about.)
Damn, I hear it too now... NEVER tought of it. I guess I learned something today.
Wow. I thought Anakin's theme having traces of the Imperial March gave me shivers. That just blows my mind.
If my 5 year old self could figure out that 4-LOM was the droid and Zuckuss was the alien, I'm pretty sure that it was a mistake on Kenner's part.
I knew I should have offered to actually beta test! :-P
I'm not off work yet! Darn you people on the other side of the world!
My appropriate response should have been: "You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower."
The ships are already on the list, bongowingowongo.
