These rumors just keep flying, but still nothing concrete. I’m just finding it hard to get my damned hopes up. I’d download Harmy, but I’m scared of getting arrested.

You wont get arrested. The person who shared it would be more likely to get arrested. I’ve downloaded a ton of torrents over the years and never had an issue.

Almost all of the fan-edits of films I want are of movies I own at least one copy of, and sometimes several. My brother is a lawyer trying to get into Internet intellectual property law and says that it can be a pretty big fine if I get caught, but not arrested. Thanks, Atticus. Millions of people torrent stuff, but I swear, I’d be the damned one who got caught.

if you get a fine then what’s the point in getting these fan edits at all?

To enjoy them because most people won’t get a fine because they own the official releases?

I thought that show was American anyway. As in not actually anime, but maybe kinda looks like it sometimes. I never watched it, so I don’t know, that’s just what some friends of mine who did watch it told me.

It’s a Nickelodeon original series, its just so inspired by anime and Asian culture that most signage is in Chinese characters, so it might as well be anime. Anime made by Americans for Americans. Make Anime Great Again.

Good luck with Korra. It has some great moments but it never lived up to the quality of the original series for me.

I’ll temper my expectations accordingly. I’m also planning on grabbing the comics next time Comixology has a sale, they take place between Airbender and Korra and finish storylines from the first series while providing backstory for the second.

Yeah the Dr Evanzan and Walrusman Cameo felt really forced in there… But it was a heavily cut down sequence. There were meant to be a lot more shot’s showcasing the weirdo’s in Jedha city. So many creature effects and animatronics were totally cut from this part it’s sad. we were meant to not only see the Local’s and the Kyber Miners but some of the abominations created by Dr. Evanzan called the Decraniated (Cyborg Slaves). We also miss a small part where a Bounty Hunter was tracking Dr Evanzan and Walrusman.

You’re reading way too much into the visual guide. This is on par with believing The Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina novel is a detailed account of a bunch of cut scenes from Star Wars.

Yeah, 90-100% chance that’s just Hildago trying to justify the weird background costumes Edwards picked to show up on set that day, not that they were planning to have Dr Evanzan actually have his own subplot in the finished film.

Now there’s a spinoff I could get behind…

Finished Avatar: The Last Airbender this weekend. I know we give “anime” a lot of crap around here, but I thought this series was a fantastic distillation of an anime series for American audiences. It has about as much plot as the 220 episodes of Naruto but condensed into 61, with only a handful of filler episodes. I really enjoyed the entire series and can’t wait to start Legend of Korra.

Ady, I’m curious if you have any plans to include or exclude the Death Star’s brief appearance at the end of Episode III.

I believe it’s not going to be there. Personally, I think it’d be better, watching chronologically, if you don’t know a DS could exist until R1 or even the crawl for ANH.

So, all the original TOS FX shots weren’t lost forever? Can we get a redo on that remastering thing? 😉
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/192846/

correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t they release the original versions the blu ray discs with the remastered versions?

Right, but they didn’t have the original elements like they did for TNG, so it’s more that they cleaned up the many-generations old final edit version.

My guess is that it’s the SE, and that if something is happening, it will be announced in May

Unfortunately I think you’ll be right about it being the SE. I believe that all iterations of the SE are counterfeit versions of the OT. George Lucas is a sociopath with a double digit IQ who cruelly took away our movies, and now Disney is tragically respecting his wishes.

While I guess I agree with some of the basic general sentiment there, the words you typed read like PT writing.

Can’t we all agree that Lucas is still a terrible person?

George is putting most of the money he got from the Disney deal towards charitable causes. How about cutting the guy just a little slack?

Frevious has been saying this stuff for 10 years, he’s not about to change now. Lucas is terrible, new Star Wars is terrible, the SE did terrible things to him physically, blah blah blah.

Smart TV technical advice

Even if I had a smart TV, I wouldn’t trust it to actually run things well. My advice would be to get a cheap streaming device and call it a day.

This would be my advice as well. Although I would add, get a streaming device with an Ethernet port. Wifi just has too many opportunities for drops that cause stuttering when watching movies.

Yes, especially with Vudu.

Wampa and some final tweaks I think. We also haven’t seen the Echo Base model integrated into the movie, but he might leave that for a surprise in the final film.

Lovely!
Will you be doing a frame-by-frame comparison like last time? I loved going through those.

Adywan ends up making the Revisited ones, as there are far too many tiny changes that I can’t track them all!

SPECULATION: Could C3-B5 been a former companion of K2 that he recognizes, but who doesn’t recognize him? Maybe K2 is able to awaken memories in him to get him to help get the schematics and such.

You could pay me, though. Hell, you could pay me to watch almost any movie if the price is right.

Name your price:

I think you need to lay off before this goes too far.

Wook … I think some have got that covered in the Politics thread already, LOL.

Yeah…the same guy.

I reported 3 posts in a row from ID for directly attacking Warb in Politics. shrug

Triangle Face a bounty hunter was tacking Dr Evanzen and Walrus Man before Jyn Bumps in to them…

This probably allows the two criminals to escape as Triangle face is caught the other side of the Hover Tank and has to wait then the battle kicks off allowing Dr Evanzan and walrus face to evade capture.

He may have been going to shoot just as Jyn bumps in to them or does he bump in to Jyn to cause a diversion.

This is a thread where we try to figure out what was originally shot, not make things up. Where are you even getting this stuff?

Is it all right if I ask someone who knows how to do modeling work to help Adywan make some things for Return of the Jedi Revisited? It may get the job done faster.

Adywan enjoys doing the work himself for the most part. That way everything can be up to his level of quality.

But, you can always have your modeler friend contact the FB Page if they would like to help.
