Oh, and doubleofive, I will be sending you a PM regarding my civilian identity (wow, do I sound like a super-hero or what?) for inclusion in the credits for ESB:R. I want to see my name in the credits for a Star Wars movie.

Yes, I guess I should be the target of the secret identities...

can you put the forum name next to the real names then please so i can keep track. thanks

 

That was my plan!  Glad we're using a spreadsheet.

Almost halfway done.  194 names so far.

30 pages in, 123 names.  Thankfully most of them from this point on get to be the same dozen or so people.

You are a star doubleofive! x

I'm trying to redeem myself from my part in the April Fools Joke of last year. ;-)

If you don't want to go through the thread for names, I could do it for you.  You have better things to do...

That would be very helpful if you could do that for me. thanks

Here goes nothing. ;-)

Hmm...then why is the SD moving forward in the previous shot?

It's moving into position and slowing down once we see inside?

Hello! I'm a total newb here. So i hope i'm not messing up with any of the rules here. I'll do my best to follow them. 

So what i'm trying to 'preserve' (collect) is the original theatrical 77, 80, 83 trilogy.

I think i've found what i wanted over at demonoid posted by 'booster2' if you do a search you can find it with: (The Original Unaltered Trilogy)

From what he said it's the 2006 bonus discs but somehow he got it to be fully widescreen instead of it cut off or whatever the problem was with those...

So a perfect theatrical release on DVD?? CHECK

Basically its a crop with some stabilization scripts ran on it.  Hardly perfect, but definitely better from my understanding.

Now i guess what i'm asking for here is if anyone can upload (becuase i couldn't find it) the 1997 HDTV Special Editions? So I can burn it onto a single DVD, not DL. I know that seems like it defeats the purpose (downgrading) But as far as technology goes this is all i have at the moment. (newly wed trying to save up)

So yea the 1997 HDTV Special Edition on a 4.3 GB DVD upload to demonoid would be AWESOME!!!

I don't believe the 97 SE was ever shown in HD.  Just the 04 SE.  See Adywan's 1080P AVCHD for the closest thing.

Anyone (not necessarily Ady if he's too busy) want to upload a top/bottom comparison vid of the new shot and the DVD?  There's been a LOT of improvements and it would be great to see them side-by-side.

I didn't even notice the X-wing getting blown up the first time around, nor did I notice the bridge windows being extended.  It just felt right from start to finish.  The attention to detail and continuity is so very, very nice to behold.  Good stuff. :)

The windows aren't extended Ady MOVED the officers to the front of the ship so it no longer looks like they're sliding past the planet!  Isn't that awesome?!

I don't have the tech to do a video comp.  It would be cool though.

I'm almost in tears.  That was AMAZING.  ImperialFighter, he used several of our suggestions!  I'll update this post later with the comparisons...

COMPARISONS:

Basically, everything is more awesome!  And the transport goes to lightspeed!!!

My wife finally let me put up some of my Star Wars collection, in a corner, in the second bedroom.  Hey, it's better than nothing!

The full shelf
All of the Vintage figures I have without duplicates (missing 3 from the original run)

"Star Wars" (missing R2-D2)

"The Empire Strikes Back" (full set)

"Return of the Jedi" (missing Paploo and Teebo)
Plus my only carded figure and 2 "Power Of The Force" figures

I have about 20 duplicates and only a handful of my figures have all of the accessories.  I also have most of the vehicles and creatures that I played with my whole childhood.

It doesn't look like much, but I'm proud of it.

“These are toys, these are little men. This is Greedo, and then this is Hammerhead, see this is Walrus Man, and this is Snaggle Tooth and this is Lando Calrissian see, …and look, they can even have wars. Look at this.” - Elliot, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

I’m not sure if this should go on General Star Wars Discussion or Memorabilia Discussion, but this is a thread to share pictures of your Star Wars collection.  I’ll start it off in the next post.

I'm still not WILD about a longer version...  Admittedly, I've only seen the Director's Cut, so I don't know what's missing.  I'm more excited to see the Fan Edit of it.

 

This seems like an excellent project, with all these additional extras, and I'll join you in being very excited to see what can be done with the Fan Edit of this eventually....

I do have the Director's Cut DVD, if you want to start on the ridiculously detailed sequences I'm sure you have in mind... ;-)

The room is clearly a part of the ship command centre that is just being used for the briefing (Ackbar's control blister over hangs the area and we see the holo-table being used as a tactical display during the battle.

Really?  I never noticed.

 

Remember when the shield goes down tech guys are monitoring the hologram of the Death Star just before Ackbar commands that fleet moves away before it explodes.

Oh yeah.  I thought about that after I posted.  Thanks for posting it.

I just watched it on my iPod, and I think with a little orange lighting on the proceeding two shots it could be just fine, as one is looking up at Chewie from R2's perspective as Chewie turns a corner and the next is from 3PO's perspective down, neither of which would show the balcony anyway.

I don't think Shaw or Hayden need to morph either way.  Neither one of them will be recognizable to Luke anyway and the audience should assume he aged as opposed to wondering why Anakin got to keep his young body in the afterlife and Obi-wan has to be old.

Unless everyone morphs from their old versions to their Episode III versions.  That sounds like something Lucas would have done, and I'm honestly surprised he didn't. 

Again, I think adding Qui-Gon is adding things for the sake of adding them.  If LUCAS showed enough restraint not to do it, I think we should also.

 

He didn't show any restraint when he added Hayden.

Yes, but he did show restraint by stopping with Hayden.  It could have been worse.  So much worse.

(Yeah, I made it delibrately look bad.  Sure.  That's it.)

I tried to view the RotJ footage with the prequelesque lightsaber sound but it was gone. I did check out a similar video of part of Empire's fight with new lightsaber sound FX and I REALLY, REALLY like the idea. Makes the lightsabers sound more powerful and I am all for that. Adywan you should check that out.

Definitely add the scar.

and last but not least no more additional ghosts. Luke doesnt know them. And I think a Hayden blend into Shaw ghost for the the rest of it. But thats just me.

Thats why Qui-Gon should appear after Luke has looked away. THe audience will know him and Luke doesnt have to be confused and bam! connection of the triologies. Also I do like the idea of Hayden turing into Shaw or the other way around.

You could always have Qui-Gon appear over Obi's shoulder after Luke looks away in a second shot.

And Obi-wan turn around and give him a high five?

I missed that ion cannon shot.  Holy crap, thats so clear!  Are you going to be using Vaderios' element in these scenes?

adywan said:

Another little fix....

as for the blockade i will be adding a couple of extra stardestroyers to the initial approach and a disabled stardestroyer in the background during Lukes escape but what i was saying was that Luke could easily slip away unchallenged because its just one fighter and a transport did leave just before he escaped so any remaining stardestroyers (which would only be one or two at the most) would be concentrating on the larger ships, so no need to add loads of stardestroyers for that scene. After all Luke is going in a completely different direction than the rebels so he most likely leaves in the opposite direction so you wouldn't see all the disabled stardestroyers which seem to concentrate above the rebel base on the other side of the planet.

 

 

Awesome.  From toned down lightsabers (which Vaderios is pointing out in the "ESB and ROTJ Wish List" will be a huge pain in RotJR) to a disabled Star Destroyer as Luke is leaving.  Sweet action.

Adding Hayden to RotJ was already the best definition of "just because you can do something doesn't mean you should."  Adding thousands of other Jedi would change the ending of RotJ significantly and make it look less like "the redemption of Anakin Skywalker" and more like "the redemption of Jedi as a whole", which is not the point of the saga by any definition.

My story is the my similar thread I started a while back: A Long Time Ago... - Share Your Star Wars Story.

The shot on the left is from the '04 DVD and was given the altered BG for the '97 SE. The shot on the right is the BG from the OUT. Clearly someone from Lucas farked up during the SE - unheard of isn't it? I'm sure Ady can clean this up very easily. I like Imperialfighters suggestions for improving the detail on the set.

The left shot was added for the SE?  I haven't watched the OUT since 1997, but that doesn't seem right.
