You are a star doubleofive! x
I'm trying to redeem myself from my part in the April Fools Joke of last year. ;-)

That would be very helpful if you could do that for me. thanks
Here goes nothing. ;-)

Octorox said:Hmm...then why is the SD moving forward in the previous shot?
It's moving into position and slowing down once we see inside?
dickalan said: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.
Savage said: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...

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.

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.

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... ;-)

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.
Sluggo said:doubleofive said: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.)
JediMasterFisher said:AxiaEuxine said: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.

Octorox said: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.
Monroville said:Okay, my bad. Regardless, there are the links.
Did I mention I didn't get to sleep until 4 am?
No big deal, man. Get some rest! We need you.
Monroville said:Ladies and Gents, we are forgetting something here:
There is a completely different thread for all of this ANH:R stuff! The past 20 PAGES have been about ANH:R! While I feel the same way and love the edit, there is a different place to:
(1) spread the love
(2) ask for download links, references, clues, etc
(3) discuss any problems with edit, downloading said edit, etc.
This is supposed to be strickly regarding the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: REVISITED edit and suggestions as to how to do that edit if Ady wants to consider them (by strickly I mean how a football stadium is strickly for football: still plenty of room to move around in, but still all about football or some other sporting activity other than racing cars).
Again, I know I'm being an ass here, but the bigger this thread gets with things unrelated to what it is supposed to be, the harder it is going to be for Ady to sift through the posts and check them out. Save the JEDI:REVISITED stuff for that thread when it's posted AFTER EMPIRE:REVISITED is finished and available for download.
And Vaderios! Where've you been! We miss you!
Quoting this before Monroville realizes what thread he posted this in. The past 270 pages have been about ANHR for the simple reason that this is the ANHR thread.
Hehe...
