I like the celebrations over the credits idea.  I'll add it to the list.

If the Ewoks instantly think Threepio is a god I thought it might be nice to show they have a god like Threepio.

That's awesome.  Seriously awesome.  Both the idea and the implementation.

Yeah and the language of Huttese throughout the whole saga seem to use the 5 words over and over. When Sebulba talks he basically says some of the same crap that jabba says. Why is everybody in the saga Bantha Fodder? Why does Jabba sound completely different in all the movies. I wish they would have made Jabba sound as large in TPM and ANHSE as he did in ROTJ. Why does jabba sound so different when it would be easy to make him sound like the ROTJ jabba if we had the scenes without the music and soundeffects. I mean make jabbas voice deeper ad some breathing and bass. I prefered Jabbas voice in ROTJ and can we add jabbas laugh to the rest of his apperances because Han knows that laugh so their for han has heard it several times. I know this is off subject but do you think we could be george lucas and add a holographic image of jabba talking to boba in his slave one when he is watching the millenium falcon. It would be easy just use the scenes from return and fix it up to look holographic and use some of his dialogue. hoo hoo hoo hoo ho hoo ah ah ah ah ah I love that laugh.

The simplist way is to cut Jabba out of the other movies.  Ady already did one of them.  Then there is consistency in that we only see him the one time!

The only R2 "line" from RotJ I can remember is after Luke says "I can't do it Artoo" and R2 says what I've always imagined as "what can't you do, what can't you do?" which is a reuse or reused some other time (I can't remember which).  Never noticed that any of the "dialog" sounded different.

Here's a thought.

If I recall right, the new Battlestar Galactica had a bunch of battles that took place in an Endor-esque forest. (actually, I think every exterior in the shows first three seasons was the same copse of trees).

Maybe some of that, trees with explosions and things, could be tweaked and dropped into the Endor battle.

Yes, this is true.  And most of the battle shots don't have anything in them due to centurians being so expensive to animate.  However, they are only DVD quality (so far), and Ady will be working from a 1080 source.

Nice to hear that Ady is planning something huge for RotJ.  It needs it in a big way.

I'm glad that Hoth backgrounds are being modified.  They are too blurry overall for my tastes, even when there's not a snowstorm to explain it.

This has probably already been brought up, beat down, destroyed, and rebuilt, only to be beat down again, but...

... I would really love it if R2-D2's beeps were changed to fit in with the rest of the Star Wars saga!!!!!

Even the PT got the beeps right. What the hell is up with R2's beeps in ROTJ? That has always bugged me, even when I was a little kid.

 

To quote C-3PO: I heartily agree with you, sir.

R2's beeps suck in ROTJ, and it has bothered me for some time. I know it will be time-consuming, but I hope ady corrects this.

To be honest I never noticed Artoo's beeps being off in ROTJ but in ROTS they were really all over the place (the Tellytubbyish "uh-oh" being a partically ugly utterance...even Artoo got a rubbish script on that gig).

I'll have to listen again.

Me too.  I thought RotJ had a lot of reused R2 "lines", but what can do you do?  Its not like its Klingon with a translation.  Heaven help those who want to make a real binary language.

It's "Gaff" from Blade Runner, yes.  Also played "Bill Adama" in Battlestar Galactica (2003).  We should totally insert him into RotJ as an A-wing pilot.  That would be the most awesome thing ever.

Yes.

Lando: "We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star.  And we might just take a few of them with us!"

Over the comm: "So say we all!"

Anyone who has not seen last night's (Apr. 1st's) episode, "Whatever Happened, Happened", there are spoilers for that episode below.

Aright, so I was off a little bit, but I was right about Ben living and but it looks like I am wrong about Ben remembering everything. And I was way off about Jack helping him though.

If he remembered everything, then his obsession with Juliet (who is the one who wouldn't give up and let him die), and his harshness in using Sayid as his hitman. But from what Richard said, he will not remember any of the events surrounding his injury (cop out way of avoiding the issue). Kind of funny that it turns out Sayid's shooting Ben is what turns him into the monster he becomes.

A lot like that episode of The Outer Limits, where the girl goes back in time and kills Hitler as a baby, only for the woman in charge of taking care of baby Hitler to go buy a gypsy woman's baby from her in order to keep Hitler's parents from discovering that their son was kidnapped and murdered, which ultimately results in the historical Hitler we know.

Exactly what I thought.  Of course, the only alternatives were to let Ben die (which would negate all of the time travel rules they've been telling us about) or to have Ben remember everything and have recognized everyone the entire time they were on the Island (which retcons everything that has ever happened since we met "Henry Gale").  Either one would have upset me to no end.  However, a throwaway line by Richard does not satisify me.  The Island/Others having the power to alter memory would have been a useful feature before (in the future), and I would like to get more of an explanation than "it just does, ok?"

Darn it, I really wanted to see those!

I don't know why Ady is against the idea, but there is nothing saying that someone can't revisit EMPIRE:R and add them themselves.

I think its because its hard enough to believe 3 TIEs could miss the Falcon so many times, let alone a dozen or more.  But your point about making your own is very valid, and something some people should consider.

Jipsu said:

Hello, i'm new here

Why there's no DVD 9 purist?

i'm not english, and i want subtitles for this version

 

thanks

PURIST was just something Ady did for fun, which is why there's only one version.  You'd have to figure out a way to take the subtitles and apply them yourself, I believe.  I know its possible, but I'm not sure how.

AxiaEuxine said:

OK when the SE came out I was a little dissapointed that the Space battle in ROTJ didnt get any treatment. When I saw ROTS and I saw those two capital ships hammering at one another I had expected something a little more like that in ROTJ.

Your version makes mine look like crap.  Great work!

Bingowings said:

Just as vanity project (and it just popped up on the ESB:R thread).

If we stuck this guy :

in one of these suits :

just for a little shot it would be cool beyond words.

I'm glad you brought this over to this thread.  I cannot endorse this idea enough.

AxiaEuxine said:

Thanks, yeah I know the more ties idea wont be used so thats why I put those screenies in here. Here is another idea that I floated a few posts back... I did the best I could without taking all day so please be kind...

Looks pretty good!  I've never tried adding shadows to an image, but you did really well!  They could be less defined, as Vader doesn't have a crisp shadow like they do.  Not much direct light under that thing, I guess.

It's "Gaff" from Blade Runner, yes.  Also played "Bill Adama" in Battlestar Galactica (2003).  We should totally insert him into RotJ as an A-wing pilot.  That would be the most awesome thing ever.

that is one of the more well known gaffs

I've never heard of it before, not like this one :

 

Nice one.  So say we all. ;-)

Axia, maybe you meant the ESBR thread?  Well, technically this is an ESBR thread, but not much anymore....

Doesn't help that Wicket seems to do all of the action in those movies.  If we splice him into RotJ, he'll get around the battle rather fast.

HotRod said:

Oh poo....Now that was a good joke.

 

Via Twitter:

We hear you, Tauntaun bag lovers! We'll take your ravenous needings into consideration, despite Tauntaun scarcity.

I believe that ThinkGeek has actually made some of the April Fool's products in the past.

He says he physically spliced in the 97SE scenes into the original print.  Which, of course, is ridiculous.

An Ewoks/RotJ hybrid?  It could work, at least for getting more Ewoks into scenes.

Here's something you may want to include in your edit, Ady, especially when Rogue 2 finds Han and Luke:

A Tauntaun sleeping bag!

Dig that intestinal lining! :p

Man I love that. Got to get my son one of those!!

I know its a gag, but I want one.

I think it looks a little too computer generated, which is weird for a physical puppet.  But I'm sure we'll get used to it, just like we did with the 3 different wampas we see in the original version.  At least they'll all look the same this time!

ChainsawAsh said:

I'm all for cutting Ben's conversation out entirely.  I do, however, think Luke needs to be on Dagobah before he's on Tatooine - we need to feel like he's been training there for a long period of time since "Empire" ended.  As it is, it feels like he got a couple weeks of training, left like an idiot, then decided he was a Jedi before even seeing Yoda again.  It just doesn't feel like he's had enough time to become a Jedi.

And I don't have a problem with introducing Jabba on the Lapti Nek (which SHOULD be replaced with something!)/Boussh sequence.  It works well as an introduction in my opinion, and sets a much more sinister tone for the film and for Jabba's lair.

It's odd that Han's line "I'm out of it for a little while and everyone gets delusions of granduer" is actually more true than it plays in the scene.  It does seem that Luke is a bit crazy, going in there unarmed with only one extended session of training...
