1080p will be awesome. i've only got a 720p screen but I'm bound to upgrade in the next year or so. presumably it will be available inkv format. this seems to be the format of choice for these monster files.

dunno why u guys bother with discs with their fail rate and compatibility issues. just hook up a pc/laptop to your tele.

Because I can't hand a 12 GB avi to a friend as a present. :-P

Honestly, I still have all the versions of ANHR (well, the NTSC versions), and I probably will have all of the versions of ESBR as well.  Heck, I'll probably burn a DVD-9 Blu Ray disc even though I don't have a Blu Ray player.  I know I'm tempted to for Ady's unaltered versions right now!

Are you thinking about DVD-DL Blu Ray playable disc?

Oy, that would definitely be an online purchase for me, since the hicks in my half-a-horse town probably don't know that such a thing is possible. And how many have Blu-Ray recorders? The few here that do would be working overtime on that.

I meant the DVD-DL versions that Adywan is putting the 1080p unaltered (well, unaltered from 2004) that plays normal on a Blu Ray player.

How many versions are you thinking about here, Ady?  1080p uncompressed avi, DVD-9 Blu Ray, DVD-9 NTSC, DVD-9 PAL, DVD-5 NTSC, DVD-5 PAL, and XVID?  Are you hoping to finalize the film first so we don't have so many differences like between the XVID, DVD-5, and DVD-9 of ANHR?  This all sounds like a lot of work for you!

I think i may be changing my mind about doing this in 720p.

 

Anyone fancy 1080p instead?

The downside to this is that it will take longer to finish due to considerably longer rendering times

The answer you're looking for is "yes".  I mean I only have a 720p screen, but we could always scale it down ourselves if we needed to.

Are you thinking about DVD-DL Blu Ray playable disc?

HotRod said:

Shouldn't Vaders Star Destroyer be somewhere around Hoth anyway?

Just thinking about it that's all. I mean, we don't see any sign of the Super Star Destroyer when either the Rebels or Han & Co leave the planet.

An excellent point, which ImperialFighter will express directly in the next week or so.

But i think i may hold off releasing these now for a while. I need to do something a bit different or it will be a waste of time. I may do some basic colour correction on the OT. I may replace the Emperor in ESB with the original and return the Anakin force ghost in ROTJ to that of Sebastian Shaw.

Can't... release... crappy... quality... Must... fix...

Sounds like Ady to me!

I am of course looking forward to this. But isnt this distrating you from Empire revisited? Uses mind trick "You will work on Empire Revisted."

No. I needed a small break from ESB:R because i've got to the planning stage now and i'm looking through the movie to list things that need to be don & how i can achieve things.  This project can be done at the same time as ESB:R because once all the fine tuning is done it can be rendered without taking up much of my time on ESB:R

Glad to hear you're in the planning stages.  ImperialFighter and I are almost done with his analysis of... well, im not sure exactly.  I have all of the "what" of the screenshots he wanted, but every time he sends me the "why" it gets lost in cyberspace...

There's going to be almost 40 screenshots he wants me to post, so what would be the best way to do this, you think?  Should we make another thread just dedicated to it?  I don't want to take up that much space in this thread if few people really want to scroll through all that.

This is awesome, but since I took the "wrong step" into HD I'd rather just stream it to my 360, which I think I can do already.  Besides, the wife would kill me if I bought more DVD-9s and a Blu Ray player just for this. :-P

adywan said:

sorry been realy busy working on ESB:R pretty falt out along with a sideline project that i will be announcing shortly which should please PS3 and Blu-Ray owners :)

I look forward to hearing what this "sideline project" is about, because I have not yet made that step.  Well, I made that step, just in the wrong direction.  ;-)

Maybe they charge some places because you aren't the first person to think they charged for them, but they were definately labelled free on my standee.  I was thinking of grabbing more, like a bunch...

Well, sadly, after looking up what the glasses look like on google image search, I'm concluding that the "free Hanna Montana 3d glasses" are polarized lenses (in black plastic "Harry Caray" style frames), not the familiar red & blue that would let you view the Jabba images.

 

Random kids wearing them:

Try here instead: http://www.rainbowsymphonystore.com/3dglasses.html

or here: http://www.studio3d.com/pages2/store_glasses.html

 

I once though it would be easier to just make my own, but it seems like obtaining the right colors of cellophane and cardboard (or cheap sunglasses and plastic) is just as much bother to obtain as the glasses themselves.

I know what you're talking about, those are the 3D glasses for the Disney 3D digital theater release.  The one advertised at Wal-Mart is the Disney Channel version of the concert, which was re-rendered for red/blue glasses, so that's what they're giving away.  They still had a few hundred if anyone lives in south central Indiana...  I tried out the Jabba scene and you really had to squint, but sure enough Jabba and Han kind of poked out of the frame a bit.  It's not much, but when it's just one guy doing it for the heck of it, it's pretty awesome.

I really need to suggest that someone 3D the scenes from Jaws 3-D as a fan edit...

I have to say, that does sound interesting.  I'm all about parodies if they are well written, and I have a knowledge of all of the franchises mentioned, so it hits really close to home!

I have seen the coat first hand at Celebration IV, and it is 100% brown.

 

Yeah, it's not like LucasFilm would ever display something that was inaccurate or in any way re-created.

*eye roll*

 

maybe there should be an originaltrilogy task force armed with a crowbar and some blue spray cans to correct this possible inacurasy...

That's what we need, a task force!  "Fixing Lucas' oversights: THE HARD WAY"

I've been looking for red/blue 3D glasses since the DVD-9 came out so I could see the Jabba scene in its new 3D glory, but I really didn't want to have to buy some 3D coloring book or something in order to get one.  So I was at Wal-Mart the other day and I saw a huge display for Hannah Montana's new 3D DVD.  I ignored it until we were in the checkout line when I noticed the word "FREE."  On top of this display rack were hundreds of red/blue 3D glasses, free for the taking.  I ended up taking 4, just in case I have a party and want everyone to see it.

Yeah, you'd look stupid with Hannah Montanta star-shaped 3D glasses, but they're free!  Check your Wal-Marts, or wherever crappy Hannah Montana stuff is sold.

I've got no problem with Slave 1's changing paint job.  It's not like it changed shape or anything over the years, it just got a different paint job in the last 30 years.

Look at these two shots! I just noticed that the same plate shot was used with and without the generator in two different shots just a few seconds apart!

I'm surprised that the Imperials managed to find the shield generator since the background its next to changes EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SEE IT.  In front of a mountain, no where near a mountain, with a turret next to it, all alone on a plain...

And I'm not sure how much HD shots from the movie will help Ady since he has the HD copies of the movie already...

greedo said:

I had so many Madines and no Obi-Wan that my mom painted one of their beards white and made him in a robe!  The likeness was just as "good."  That was until we found an Obi-Wan complete with his vinal cape.  I have no idea how, since I can remember not having Obi-Wan so that had to have been the very late 80's...

We are so far off topic it blows my mind.

To bring us back, ImperialFighter is having problems writing and sending me the huge emails required to finish up our mockups, so you'll all just have to wait a bit longer.

ben_danger said:

ok this is more ROTJ related, but was just surfing on wookiepedia and i found this:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Scenes_cut_from_Star_Wars

"Endor Battle - General Crix Madine was to have scenes aboard a Mon Calamari ship during the final battle. These scenes were filmed. Actor Dermot Crowley claims to have spent a few extra days filming in a moving chair shouting things such as "Fire!". There are cut shots of rebel gunners aboard the Millennium Falcon. It was rumored that the B-Wing fighters would be given more to do during the battle in the Special Editions. These scenes have apparently been held back for a future release."

anyone know what evil uncle george is plotting?

in the event of released secret footage of any of these films, would ady ever consider a star wars re-revisited?

is george actually palpatine?

It's a wiki, I wouldn't trust statements like that.  I would, however, love to see these scenes because I have SO MANY Madine figures who have nothing to do currently...

Probably so he can BLOW IT UP!  BOOM!

I ve just see the new trailer of Force Unleashed game.I ve noticed that at the begining it has a cool shot of imperiar star destroyers ready to attack a planet, which is cool shot or concept for the imperial fleet blocades the hoth system.

Was that Leia???  The one coming down the ramp with R2 and the one sitting next to Bail Organa.  If so, that is the only reason I'd want to play this ridiculous game.  However, I can always watch the cut scenes later on Youtube.  Anybody else notice how plain awful Vader sounds?  Geez, I've heard much better in other games.  But seriously, WAS that Leia???

Vader is voiced by the guy who plays "Chad Vader" in the popular online parody series.  He's not the best, but I've heard much much worse.  As for that being Leia, it very well could be.  If Vader finds his apprentice as a baby in the first level and he's that old in the rest of the game, then Leia would also be pretty old...

But enough about that.

Ripplin said:

That is so cool, 005! I just wish I knew when it was on. They don't mark it as Star Trek Remastered on my channel guide. I've only seen the new effects once while casually browsing.

Yeah, my DVR labels it as a repeat of Star Trek.  It's usually on late Saturday nights and is the first thing preempted when anything happens.  It's usually syndicated to CW's or MyNetworkTV's depending on where you live.  In the US, now that I think about it.  Not sure of foreign showings.

I know it seems like blasphemy to mention it here, but this weekend's episode of Star Trek: The Original Series: Remastered is "The Cloud Minders", where the Enterprise visits a city in the clouds.  TrekMovie.com posted a preview image that looks very familiar.

There is so much attention to detail in this, as each building perfectly matches the original painting:

I wish we could get CBS-D to help us with Revisited...

That's funny.  I decided to try my hand at finding Shield Generator pictures, so I looked up "hoth shield generator shooting model" (without the quotes).  The 21st result is very familiar...

It was my avatar!  Apparently I've mentioned Hoth too many times on here...

Ady has a big enough workload with this project alone, without getting side tracked about talk of two or three other projects on from here, that he may, or may not even be bothered to do in the end.

Just help him to focus on making the best he can do with what hes got.

 

Whoa, scrub that comment. Sounds like you may NOT have enough work to be getting on with at this pace!

How about a possible release date then ;-)

Darth Solo wins the prize for being the first to ask for a release date!  Let's hear it for him!

He wins the Lando Calrissian Memorial Award for Ironic Questions!

Already almost caught up?  That's impressive!  I sense great things will come of this quad core...

How were you able to recover after getting blown away at the hands of an unscrouplous smuggler?

 

did u not notice that at the very last second i replaced myself with a near identical manequin?

Near identical?  LOL
