I took it as something she adopted when speaking in a diplomatic/official capacity, reverting to her normal speech patterns in casual conversation. This seems reinforced by the prequels, where Padme adopts different tones in different scenarios.

Or maybe the director wasn't so good at helping actors with their characterizations. Could go either way.

Sorry to hear about your poor health, but at the same time, it's great to know that you're still able to keep yourself [extremely] busy with what you love! (I'm actually a little surprised you're able to post here so much. You must be good at tearing yourself away from it.) Your care for these movies really shows in your work. :)

Say, this is a bit off-topic, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why Carrie Fisher adopted a fake accent during her part with Tarkin. It was obviously a conscious decision (if it wasn't, they would've told her to cut it out, no?), so why was it done?

Ady, sorry about your rude PMs and emails....

You have so out done yourself with this edit....you deserve better than having to deal with idiotic comments from the young moronic tossers that seem to populate the net these days....

Thank you Adywan for your amazing edit.

JediBorota said:

I am also waiting to see what Ady has come up with for his cover.


Ady,

Did you use oil paint, pastels, etc? I am curious.

Also, you sure you aren't triplets? Because you do the work of at least three people. It is amazing what you accomplish.

adywan said:

WooHoo. crossed the 5000 post mark.

Anyway some good news. Hopefully the cover painting will be finished sometime next week so the DVD-9 could emerge as soon as next weekend (PAL first & the NTSC a few days later)

well i think its great what you've done with the comparison and also great that you've got yourself on the creadits :-)
don't know if you've seen the ADywan 3D logo at the beginning of the DVD 5 version of star wars but I made that and he added the Star wars various x-wings and Tie's which i thought he did brilliantly

HAY doubleofive

Nor me :)

Cool. That was the only part that looked a little wonky to me, everything else is really great!

I think they look great! One little suggestion if I may... I think the specs box might look a little more balanced if "DVD-9 Specifications" and "BONUS FEATURES" were the same font size (and both either all caps or not) and then move the bonus features block up so that it's top-justified with the specifications block. Kinda like this:



I did a little rearranging to the logos and URLs as well, to try and balance that out a bit. It's just a suggestion, of course.

I believe it's spelled "cauterized" if it's not too late to change it. (Actually it's spelled that way even if it is too late to change it!) ;-)

How many versions of this film are there again? I have the original release (beta). I have a second, tweaked release. And now I hear about the "Purist Version" and a DVD9. Can someone explain to me what the purist version is? I'm a little confused by all the different versions.

Thanks

doubleofive - Is there any chance of putting a shot of the initial Adywan Ponda Baba 'hoof' arm from the XVID up for me here? Seeing those shots above sure makes me wish we had a glimpse of it in the altered shot AS WELL... Thanks.

p.s. - Your finished 'Visual Comparisons' turned out great!

I'm playing with the pictures of changes, courtesy of Adywan and doubleofive, and setting them to music via PhotoDVD. I originally set it to Enya's best-of album [title escapes me], mainly because it was on my hard drive and I hadn't listened to it in years. Since my wife and friends think it's all sorts of heretical from almost every viewpoint, I may leave the soundtrack as it is.

The question occurs, though, of what TV format is most useful: 16x9 or 4x3. The comparison pictures are almost 4x3, making that natural, and I disabled all animation to keep the pictures as much in view as possible (loss only to overscan).

Would it be preferable to set the format to widescreen and then re-enable the horizontal animation? The picture would slowly drift from side to side for its five seconds' viewing instead of remaining stationary and filling almost all of the 4x3 screen.

(Having only a 4x3 TV, it's an academic question to me but I am curious about others' thoughts.)

That's exactly what's happening. It used to send a notification for every reply, but then some people requested that it only send one notification until you view the thread.

I'll add a user setting so that you can choose how you want to be notified.

ron2112 said:


I think what might be happening is that you get one notification only until you visit the thread. After that you are notified of the next post, and then no more notifications until you visit the thread again. Which I guess is okay.

Is anyone else who's subscribed to this thread receiving only intermittent notifications? I get maybe one email for every five or six posts, at best, in the past few weeks. Anyone else?

I know there's a more appropriate forum for this question, I just wanted to see if it's just me before I go to the mods with it.
