Is that for a torrent or something like RapidShare? I avoid torrents because one of the first times I tried it, I later found that while I was downloading what I wanted, the torrent app was UPLOADING RANDOM FILES FROM MY COMPUTER WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!

I avoid torrents like the plague now.

You know, you can set the settings to not share things from your computer. I only use Torrrents for downloading, and it shares the one file that I'm downing at the time.

I used to share everything, till I decided not to be a dirty pirate. :-P

I will attempt to create a PURIST version of my cover, without making it look like I just deleted the Bonus Features section.

We shall see...

EDIT: Ady, do we have a list of changes to the PURIST edition, other than the one I compiled at fanedits.com?

Adywan (or anyone else) - Has anyone put up any specifically 'PURIST' version cover art, or disc art also, do you know? If so, where please? If not, there's a gap there surely...

By the way, am awaiting my own PIFed copy of the 'PURIST' version soon, and have 'g-rev' on board for one from me then. So the first next two to PM me can also get it from me. I'm in U.K. but will accept from anywhere. :)

No, no one has made any PURIST cover art. I was thinking about it, but without any special features or even menus, I didn't think it was worth it.

Man, now I'm really confused. I could have honestly been mistaken (it's been a while), but I don't think it makes sense for 3PO to read the subtitles for us, even if it was that way originally.

What about the Ewok Adventures? I tried renting those a few years ago, didn't get 10 minutes into the first one before I announced to my friend (who is also a huge Star Wars fan), "If we keep watching this, I'll never want to watch anything Star Wars again."

That wasn't a trampoline, and you can't hear the bounce, no noise is recorded on the set like that, everything is done later in editing. You do hear Luke land, and his head pop back up from his crouched stance when he landed.

Even so, Vader gets knocked down and disappears, Luke jumps after him and stands up where we can see him. Where did a 6-foot man in a breathing apparatus disappear to if its a 4-foot trench?

And thanks to seven for the thread condensation. I've been meaning to do that.

hello guys and adywan i just saw your star wars revisited and i was blown away so much. when i heard you made the dvd 5 i have been trying to find it. i found it once on a torrnet website but it seemed that i had to burn it. i have been trying to find it on any website but only found the original one. i even tried usenet but i have no credit card and i don't want to risk it. so plz could anyone here be a pal and direc me to a site i could download it so i could watch it on my computer or could you send it to me by mail

thanks if anyone listens

You can find the downloads on fanedit.org. If you want to just watch it on your computer, you can download the XVID version, but its more of a rough draft. You'll have to burn a copy of the DVD-5 if that's what you want, or someone will contact you willing to send you a copy with your promise that you'll pass it on.

I like it, but I would get rid of that big word "SAMPLE" on it. Just doesn't look right.

ROFL... yeah a big "c" in a circle would be more Star Wars-y

so no Vader image, eh? (just asking folks, no need for anyone to call down fire from the sky)

Sneak peek. I expect to see Vader shortly (because I decided to be demanding and dickish like that).

It didn't have a SAMPLE on it earlier. I should have grabbed it then!

Ok...So I'm at that point in my life where I go "Do I give my 3 year old son access to all my old vintage Star Wars toys?"
I had a lot as a kid growing up...was an only adopted child..guess my parents tried to please me...and still have all my figures and vehicles all in pretty mint condition in my parents loft. Do I give them to my son and let him totally ruin them....or just leave them there?
It's a tough one....He's just starting to like the films and loves the lightsaber he has, and I know I had the best childhood with my toys, I want him to be feel the same way...but that was a whole different time...things have changed just a bit too much for him to really appreciate all those wonderful toys!

Dunno?!?! I've always said I wouldn't let my kids play with my old SW toys..but it seems a waste to just leave them there.

I wouldn't overwhelm him with all of them. A lot of my figures are already beat up because I played with them my entire life, so I'll probably let my future kids tear them up even more. I would just let your kid play with a few of main figures, if they're not in really good condition. Or you could just buy some beat up ones at a flea market.

Well things are going pretty smoothly at the moment. Not far to go with the painting now and the actual DVd structure is complete, so that is just waiting for the finished cover and it'll done. Hopefully the PAL will be available from May 4th (just had to pick that day) and the NTSC will be available straight after.

Here's another sneak peak at the painting:

Still not sure what route i'm going down to digitize the picture yet though.

Wow. I cannot wait to see the finished product. I'm more excited about the cover than I am the DVD-9! (Just a little more excited)

So I'm the only one who quite likes Alien Resurrection?

Okay, so it sucks as a follow-up to the previous three, but if you see it more as another OTT, blackly comic Jean Pierre Jeunet film in the style of Delicatessen and City Of Lost Children, it's a lot of fun. I've learned to enjoy it a lot more than I did when I first saw it. It's also interesting to see how Joss Whedon (who hated Jeunet's approach to the material as well) later adapted some of the character types of the crew into the crew from Firefly/Serenity.

After watching Firefly/Serenity, I did like the movie more, seeing what the crew of Serenity evolved from. I still don't think its very good, but I liked it better than I did.

So, Ron Perlman or Adam Baldwin: which one is a better badass?

I just heard this 'rule of two' thing on MADtv on Saturday. I still don't know what it means, really. Can anyone supply a good link to explain it? (or just do it themselves if they have a minute)

Yoda in TPM says "Always two there are, no more, no less. A master, and an apprentice." The EU story goes that there were once thousands of Sith until they all tried to kill each other, nearly driving them to extinction. The only Sith left (I'm trying to do this without looking up anything, so I don't know his name) took one apprentice, and it pretty much became a rule from then on that there would only be two so they wouldn't be too tempted to just wipe each other out. It's assumed that if the apprentice was taking an apprentice, then the master was on his way out. The problem is that according to the EU, Vader had at least two apprentices and was actively searching for Luke to be his next and Palpatine had at least two others also. Maybe they were going to repopulate the Sith after 2000 years.

Or the EU isn't worth it anymore.

I just happened to pass by it when I was channel surfing last night, was that really Carrie Fisher helping one of the guests? I saw Darth Vader & Chewbacca doing one of the game spots, any PT characters?

I think that having Prequel characters would be difficult/impossible, as normal people acting to CGI characters would be painful.

Burn?

If I'd HAVE to show them the PT, here's what I'd do:

first, show them ANH (Original version)
then ESB (2004 version)
then RotJ (Original version)
then sit back with them and watch Walt Disney's "Fantasia", the ending of which I consider to be a much more fitting companion to the OT.

then, about two months later, show them the PT and introduce it as an AU.

I've not seen Fantasia. Am I missing something important, or just an inside joke?

And why ESB 2004? Is it because its changes aren't as "blasphemous"?

Sounds pretty cool. I don't know how much good can be salvaged from A:R (or how you can like A3, but that's beside the point).

I'm always ashamed when I praise Joss Whedon that I have to mention this movie. Maybe you can salvage it.

Lucas already tried that in Episode III after all. In the rough draft, Han Solo helps Yoda while on Kashyyk. He cut it out--but we all know how he likes to re-use old ideas. Blurgh.

I know a lot of you have already sworn off the prequels, but if I said that if Han was in Episode 3, I would immediately go home, sell my DVDs of the first two movies, then smugly say "what prequels?" when people asked.

Well i haven't had any PM's they're just emailing me and are too chicken to say who they are. I don't actually think that they are all from this site though. the edit generated a lot of anger on other sites and my email address is easily available. I just ignore them because, after all, i have a life and they don't. :)

I don't understand the anger. I mean, as much as most of us around here love it, its just a fan edit. You're not running around the internet and press, saying how awesome it is and how every copy of ANH should be replaced with your own. If they don't like it, they can just ignore it. Three months ago I didn't even know things like this could exist, they can do the same.

The DVD-5's are fantastic, the only real upgrade for the DVD-9 are bonus features. And its not like they're paying for it anyway, so no one has any right to complain.

You work hard giving your hard work away for free, and people still complain like you're George Lucas forcing them to ignore the original versions and only recognizing the 2004 DVDs.

I can't wait to show my friend the edit tonight. He's already asked for his own copy and one for another friend. I even gave a copy to one of my bosses the other day.

There are a lot of good ideas here! I don't have kids yet, but I love CO's reasoning and suggestions.

I'm still debating whether to just let my future children grow up absorbed in the movies as I was, or should I hold back and wait until they have one clear memory of their first time. I'll probably just absorb them in it, because if I hyped up this movie to my own children and they turn out not to like it, I'd be REALLY bummed.

As for versions, Adywan's ANH is great, and I'm hoping that the rest of his edit of the saga will be just as awesome. Then that will be the versions I'll show my kids.
