I pull the color from an image of the logo Mike Verta shared on his forum a while ago.

I wish the movie itself was in that expanded ratio. I wonder if they cropped it to 2.39:1.

Anyway, I think it ultimately comes down to the fact that 2.4:1 is a standard AR while 2.61:1 isn’t. Probably also to match with the other Star Wars movies.

But why bother to use the lenses used on Ben-Hur if you’re just going to crop it in the end? What was gained?

For the record i didn’t mean any disrespect i just wanted to know how the edit was coming along sheesh 😦

We have multiple sources for news that update when there is something to update.

what swerevisted wordpress,twitter and facebook?

Facebook is Adywan’s preferred update method, which is usually replicated here and the Wordpress with links automatically generated on the Twitter.

You know this, this is how you found this site.

Did anyone else notice just how much smaller the Lucasfilm logo and “a long time ago…” text was at the beginning of Rogue One compared to the saga films?

I did not. Interesting.

Nobody is talking about haircuts when they use the word “dated” to describe something.

Nobody?

Ok.

It’s literally one of the first things I think of.

You should hear my coworkers. They think I’m some sort of idiot savant.

It’s really up to Jay to create that sort of thing.

I created one years ago. Haven’t touched it.

If anyone is particularly adept at social media and is interested in helping manage our Twitter and Facebook accounts, I’d be open to it. (I mean somebody who actually works in this space or has real experience building an audience.)

I mean, we’ve got 80k on the Revisited Page, but that all came naturally; no ads, no promotion. Not sure how we can translate that to OT.

I enjoyed the Obi-Wan bits, and while I kind of expected the last shot, I didn’t expect it to affect me as emotionally as it did.

The whole episode seemed to suffer from “for some reason”, just to get where they wanted to get to close Maul’s storyline.

SPOILERS

The Holocrons can now be used to summon Jedi. For some reason.

Ezra now knows the prophecy refers to Tatooine, which hasn’t been mentioned before. For some reason.

The Holocrons can now point directly to Jedi. For some reason.

Tusken Raiders attack Ezra’s A-Wing. For some reason.

Obi-Wan can sense Ezra baking in the sun. For some reason.

Maul patiently stands there and waits for Ezra to ride off before confronting the object of the hate that has kept him alive for decades. For some reason.

Ezra respects Obi-Wan’s unspoken wish to be left alone and not help the Rebellion when he’s constantly begging for more training. For some reason.

No one asks how Maul died, if Obi-Wan is still alive, what really happened out there. For some reason.

Yet another opportunity passes where Obi-Wan could introduce himself as “Ben” to give himself some excuse to say he hasn’t gone by the name of “Obi-Wan” for decades. For some reason.

I felt we needed a couple episode arc for this. But then other people will feel like they’d been strung along for two episodes to end like it did. Can’t please everyone.

Let’s be clear: none of the things that have caused delays were created specifically to delay the release of this edit. Most, if not all, of the things that have been taking the longest were planned from the beginning. Delays were inevitable.

“The danger is clear, the law is clear, the need for my executive order is clear.”

Is it though?

I missed this.

JEDIT: DID NOT miss this, I meant to say.

Probably because they specifically tried to not do anything they couldn’t have done in 1978 if allowed more time and didn’t just use it as a test bed for effects they wanted to use in Nemesis. It also helped that even people who like Motion Picture admit it has flaws that the DE went a bit into fixing, while Star Wars was nominated for Best Picture.

I believe the Lead VFX guy from the DE has all of the elements, ready to render at 1080p if given the word…

We should make a new thread for this I think. I have a action figure template I made years ago, I need to find it.

I think the original petition at least made us heard within Lucasfilm. And those who heard us pleaded with George long enough that we got the GOUT. (That it was a recycled warmed over LD master was not their fault.) But that was a decade ago. Social media is where it’s at now, for better or worse. Every retweet is as good as a signature.

And having a statement ready to go is a good idea. It’s got to be eye catching and slick to be noticed as people scroll by. Something with a classic logo and maybe that cool silver border all the Kenner packaging had?

This I like.

I guess that a lot of Han & Chewie’s time in Jabba’s jail was covering how much Lando had done to help, because Han does go from Lando betraying him and him getting frozen to saving him from the Sarlacc pretty quickly.

And what purpose would Ady have to create new things just to delay the project? Get it up to an even 10 years? Get in the Guinness Book of World Records for “Longest Time Taken To Make A Fan Edit”?

I can’t speak for Ady, but I don’t want to mess with version numbers. ANHR had 3 versions, and it still confuses some people.

One release. One version. One vision.

People bitching about ship design? This is truly a Star Trek thread.

I loved EoD. Always have, always will.

These are good jokes.

That a documentary made in 2004 wasn’t shot in HD, (if only to future proof it) is weird.

Are you kidding? There were tv shows back then not filmed in HD, nevermind a silly documentary.

Which ones? Star Trek Enterprise was in HD, and it went off the air by 2005. Spielberg was talking about HD content in the 1990s, so it’s not like it would be crazy to shoot HD in 2004.

JEDIT: Above post reminded me there’s a big difference between TV shows and home video bonus content.

Enterprise was shot on film until the last season when it was shot digitally. All effects were completed in 720p.
