Is there an explanation for reverting to the original Boba Fett voice?

Don't get me wrong, I love the original voice, I just want to know how you explain it to fit in with the continuity of the PT.

already been over this:

vlc player is your friend

there's no stars in the old one!

the colour correction is fantastic. great work adywan.

oh man, Star Wars is stupid o.O

it's not real life people, it's just a fantasy! you have to suspend reality.

btw

why didn't the death star just blow up yavin and wipe out the moon in the process?

and if anakin was so concerned about his mother - why didn't he so much as send her a postcard between ep 1 and 2?

Which is quite charitable. I've never considered the PT to be 'canon'... :-P

canon fodder maybe

And the X-wing that disappears at the end, i noticed that when i was doing the colour correction. I though ILM was supposed to have fixed these types of FX gaffes but the whole SE just seemed to me to be a half-assed job

They should've hired you!

Simple as that... I don't see why people think they can make their work public, and then shield it from criticism...

 

If we can criticize the actual films, we can darn well criticize somebody's "fan edit" of it, thank you very much! ;)

GL made plenty of $$$ from the actual films so the criticism is easier to take.

Adywan's put an incredible amount of time and effort into this project. Most of us appreciate that and wouldn't want to piss him off so much that he abandons the project.

"In universe" - in the OT, the only people using sabers are two old men who haven't done it in 20 years who are way past their prime and a kid who's running more on instinct than training.  In the PT, you've got young, strong Jedis at the peak of their careers and physical fitness, so naturally they're going to be more energetic and creative in their fight styles.

 

 

Trouble with that explanation is (and yes, I realize Lucas himself said basically that in 2004) that Count Dooku is older than Obi-Wan and therefore even more past his prime, and he fights in the energetic and flippy style of everyone else in the Prequels.

You can also take someone like Qui Gon Jinn, whose character is supposed to be almost as old as Obi-Wan's character in ANH, and he is hardly "way past his prime."

And let's face it, we're given no indication that the Jedi/Sith in the Prequels are used to having saber duels every week either... it appears to be something brand new, thanks to the joining of this conflict (remember, the Sith were thought extinct for the last thousand years, that's long enough ago for even Yoda not to have been around to see it). And if the Sith are in secret, training against nobody but themselves (if they train at all), how are they so good?

Episode II, III point out (and Episode III makes it crystal clear) that the Jedi are NOT operated at peak efficiency in the Prequel trilogy (despite what Lucas told us he wanted to show all those years leading up to Episode I, with "Jedi in their prime"). He gave us this "Shroud of the Dark Side" that is interfering with their powers, that Yoda finally admits to in Episode III. Now I figured this was just a plot device to explain why Palpatine can sit a few feet away from a room full of Jedi Masters and not give himself away as a Sith Lord, but the Episode III novel says that Obi-Wan was able to "clear the cobwebs" for a brief bit, as he had felt the Force cloudy and diminished ever since his youth. So I guess we haven't YET seen Jedi in their prime, in the G-canon.

Finally, we see Padawans who are plenty capable of fighting well, at least until overwhelmed by plot devices (see Lucas' son Jett's cameo in Ep III). His character was younger than Luke was in ESB (and though I hate to mention it, since it's EU, there's also little Asoka from "The Clone Wars").

what's this got to do with ESB?

thanks Monroville. that was funny.

At the moment I get several thread updates a day..

Are there any plans for either an RSS feed or a Mailshot for major updates.

e.g. teaser download/ release date etc.

I'm a web developer by trade (when I'm not bounty hunting) and am happy to help facilitate either of these.

i grew up with OT before SE.

I didn't like the SE jabba scene and jedi rocks. but I did like the SE wampa scene.

Adywann, why you have decided to return original Boba voice... i mean he is a clone of Jango and his adult voise should be like jango and clones... or not?

original voice was better.

and clones don't have to have the same accent. + he might have some voice modulation going on.

1080p is a lot more demanding that SD.

I'm also running the latest vlc nightly which might make a difference.

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/latest/

being a nightly it may have a few bugs so use at your own risk.

adywan, you've done a really good job of getting rid of that blue hue. looks crystal clear to me.

just been comparing it to the original and the difference is stark.

just got it. so far runs fine for me in VLC. maybe your computer aint up to it.

vlc doesn't need codecs it has it all built in...

still downloading... damn u premium account holders.

sweet!

Fjodin said:

Thats strange, i've just downloaded it. This is X-Wing cutscene, imported in flash. You can find it in this video from youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSSNonaBw-8

i got it in the end - just took ages. i don't get how this would fit into ESB tho. They couldn't blast the base from space. Because they needed to send the at-ats down to take down the shields.

Fjodin said:

Does it possible to add scene where Star Destroyers bombard Hoth like in W-Wing game - http://www.imperialbastion.ru/projects/files/pekt2.htm 

aghh got stuck on Loading... 87.796249813344 % (now that's accurate btw)

Nice comeback with my post there Ady.

What im getting at is it really worth all the extra work to you, and i think you've answered that without saying it directly.

Bottom line is that its still the same picture in all 3 resolutions, minus some sharpness in the lesser formats. I would argue that do the textures on a hat, or the texture of snow, or whatever, warrent 1 min of film taking 17 mins to encode, as opposed to lesser time, and giving you slightly more flexibility with any effects shots you do later on.

Its not nessicerally what i believe you should be doing with this, Im just illustrating an objective point of view, thats all.

doubleofive you are wetting my appetite now :-)

Welcome to the OT forums Fjodin.

I get it, you don't have a decent tele. Stop trying to deny us that have.

ady already answered that somewhere. basically u can extract it somehow.

such a big improvement. the difference between night and day.

i can see them now! must be a bad router somewhere.
