Do they serve panakacakes?

I am so happy that this has caught on.

Blue Milk Panakacakes FTW!

Ep 7- The Great Midichlorian Migration

The midichlorians of the galaxy have packed their bags and set out for somewhere new. Bye bye Force...

Honestly, the nostalgia factor for the faces set hinges on the "original versions one last time" commercial and the George Lucas and Leonard Maltin interview. That to me has always been what excites me the most and lets me know I'm watching Star Wars, the same way the Fox fanfare does for other people. A version with that preserved would be really awesome.

Either way, it is in everybody's best interests to get lossless captures up asap.

I believe "Thanks night" was referring to me... In that context the grammar is correct... mostly... (I hear the word mostly in Jake Lloyd's voice everytime I use it by itself...)

I do have to say, thanks to this thread, my children will grow up eating Panaka Cakes :)

... Sorry we didn't follow with the original Luke vs Emperor theme. The truth is that Luke is outmatched so much that the fight wouldn't be that interesting. Just the force, Sidious kicks his ass. We already saw this with force lightning. Had Vader not been there, Luke would have died.

If the match were to progress to Lightsabers... I'm still under the impression that Sidious is more powerful. Luke has never struck me as a particularly powerful duelist, in the same way that Harry Potter isn't some really strong wizard - it's a lot of luck and circumstance and the occasional good decision/upper hand. If Vader wasn't his father, Luke would've died at the end of Empire during their fight.

Sword and lightsaber... still Sidious. I have the image in my head of him using the force to impale Luke's exhausted body with his lightsaber over and over again...

I'm sure none of us meant any disrespect not following the guide you set up, we simply ran with the title of your thread and found ourselves some ultimate(ly amusing) duels. 

And I am now seriously in the mood for some butterbluemilk pancakes...

Indeed Frink, indeed. The impact that could have on the viewing experience is unprecedented.

You're forgetting the power of blue milk...

They need to give the pt the Navajo treatment. Great option to redub and subtitle aliens.

I'm really curious how many people have donated sperm, blood, and plasma to make money to send to Ady...

Talk about a project built on blood, sweat and tears...

Episode 7 - The Retiring Clones Social Security Debacle

Yeah... I'm less dense than my post may have made me look to some people :P

Just not something I'd ever seen anyone do so thought I'd throw it out there.

Just an idea for this. Have you considered removing the episode numbers from ESB and RotJ crawls. I know that you're trying to get these as close to theatrical as possible, but seems like a change that could be really cool and match them up to your SW Despecialized. Also cuts ties to the PT a bit.

Are we seeing a difference in multiupload vs uloz? Is only one having issues, or both?

I don't think I'll mind things going close to the purist cut... but I really hope that 3P0s "There's no escape for the princess this time" stays. Favorite part of the edit.

Is this intended as a new way to view CW, or as a potential alternative to the PT?

@cain spaans start a separate thread. 97 se aren't as sought after but you may have some takers.

@Charliex look for a program called mezzmo. Has been my one stop solution for streaming. 360 is crazy picky with files not fed to it by a media server.

So how bout that Jabba force ghost we're sure to see in Ep 7? :-P

Sounds like we need to get you set up with SSDs in a 10 core multiprocessor server setup. :-)

I believe I also lost contact with Angel 6 months ago. At that point he was frequenting FE.org

As for the edit... I'm waiting for the audio work to get really moving. That's the beginning of the final stretch :-)

May I ask what they are for that they are needed in 1080?

I was thinking perhaps you could upscale Harmy's pretty easily.

Understandable... I think we touched on that a while ago, but knowing it's a clear one version per film is nice. Do you think narratively RotJ will play out differently with scenes rearranged and many new shots added? Or will it follow the same general outline?

Perhaps you could straight up cut out any mention of slavery? Anakin just works for watto to help pay the bills. Manipulate the scenes to make it look like a casual wager.

That way when Anakin shows up in Ep 2 you can skip Watto. Go straight to Owens "I figured you'd show up eventually."

On a different subject, RotJ Revisited seems like it will be more of an actual fan edit than a special edition. I think it would be nice for Ady to release two versions - a straight special edition to finish the OT for purists, and the heavily edited (and hopefully IMO rearranged and narrative different) version. Thoughts?

I've always felt that there is more of a surprise in store for the audience in the OT having seen PT Yoda. At first you're in shock that he has gone nuts. Then you're surprised that he hasn't actually.

A lot more than most people here, I find that I'm happy seeing anything done to ANY of the films to make them work as a 6-part series. The truth is that the PT sets things up on a very huge stage, and the OT really presents a much smaller, focused world. Yoda as a "distant, unseen" mentor is hard to buy for three full movies (and an absence in the fourth) when space travel seems so easy and to take almost no time at all. Sure for a couple movies, you can do that, but then you expect to see some sort of interaction with this far off character.

Perhaps Yoda could be in his home on Dagobah during the events of The Phantom Menace, shown only through a hologram, up until perhaps the ending of the film. The Sith returning would flush him out of solitude, at which point he would return to the Temple for the rest of the PT, until he is defeated in Ep. 3 and returns home, now exiled.

It might be cool to see Yoda in his hut, with a hologram of Anakin as a boy, giving his "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering" lecture. You could switch back and forth between the council room and Yoda's hut throughout the scene. Yoda scenes would be much easier to film as well, I would think. You could show the back and forth for nearly every sequence he is a part of.

He then is shown leaving Dagobah on a ship right around the time that Obi/Qui-Gon head back to Naboo. That way he has arrived in time to be at the funeral, and to tell Obi-Wan "Your apprentice, Skywalker will be..."

an added sequence somewhere in there could have a Samuel J lookalike (or some random Jedi) asking: Master Yoda, if this is true, what must we do?

"If return, the Sith have, my time to return, it is as well." It could be built up to a huge moment, with some sort of triumphant return music.

Just a small thought ;)

I look forward to the new ending :-)

I wonder how much the RotJ Yoda puppet will be changed? The face always seemed a bit off to me compared to ESB.
