Video clips from one of the recent Q&A.
Director Alexandre Philippe and producer Robert Muratore talk about the fan submission and their personal Star Wars experiences
Alexandre Philippe responds to audience question on where they stand on George Lucas now that they've made the film:
Alexandre Philippe responds to audience question on The Force Unleashed & backlash:
Alexandre Philippe responds to question on if he thinks the original of Star Wars was erased:

We believe you saw it.

Now to make us believe you're going to have to produce some facts, by doing some research. Try contacting the television station, describe what you saw and they'll inform you of what it was. Maybe they have somewhere online in which you can search what they've aired. Heck you might come across another SW fan at the station and they'll give you the program. Find a SW Belgium forum, see if they've seen what you saw.
But I ask you to watch "Deleted Magic", it's most likely what you saw.

You must do what you feel is right, of course.
Invasion Fleet! Ha! That was the Aggressive Negotiations Task Force. (who's motto is: "Sure we might carry guns, but we don't shoot them when people are watching... btw please step over... here. no a little bit farther, yeah just behind that.... perfect.")
But yeah was upping the thread to see if a new player wanted to get involved.
Yeah that's probably my test taking failure, sometime you start reading into the questions, things which aren't there. or I just confused Naboo with Theed or whatever that plain is where the big fight went down.
From the Neimodian point of view this action was part of the blockade, and thus not an invasion. Just because Sio Bibble say's that "communication disruption(s) can mean only one thing" his conclusion of Invasion just doesn't hold water. It could have been a solar flare!
YOU'VE BEEN SIZZLER'D. wah wah waaaaaaah.
I don't have a clue either, it's one of those situations where you want to promote both versions, but one is lacking in material so how do you go about putting a good face on it. But yes look at the hardcover, and if they several pages of storyboards (or what ever it turns out to be) interests you, get that version. Otherwise enjoy the sizzler'd soft cover. or claim you've been Rinzler'd and hope you get your money back.

These 501st'ers took a trip to the set locations of Hoth, maybe they have photography which could be useful as background plates.
In the fanedits.com wiki you can add a link to the OT.com forums for the edit, but in the ot.com forums there's no automated system to link back, unless it's part of the first post or a person's signature.
Two ways which this could be accomplished is to in the first post have an option to 'link to wiki' and at that point when viewing in the overall forum, a 'wiki' button would show up in the area where there are 'locked', 'stickie' etc. and that would link to the wiki document.
Then when viewing the actual thread this same wiki button would show up after the page count numbers. or maybe to the right of the 'reply thru print' options.
If this makes sense, then the task would be to carry this through the existing ones.

We also did some TOPPS trading cards to promote The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (two "Unseen McQuarrie" production illustrations)...
The Making of the Empire Strikes Back: Yep, Del Rey books is promoting the heck out of this one. We're even working on a promotional video piece, which is a first for us. There will be a sizzler version and a longer "director's cut" version. It'll debut in June or July. Anyway, this book has been probably the most fun to write. Also I laid out the images for this one, which was additional fun. Instead of hoping a designer would get it right, I was able to manipulate the images to my heart's content. The images and words should now come together for the reader to tell the cast and crew's unbelievable Empire stories.
Metropolis colorized? This is news to me. Are you sure you don't mean the color tints Giorgio Moroder used for his 1984 restoration? Tinting is a technique that's been around since movies were invented.
If tinted is the correct terminology, i'll go with it. but if the original was black and white and the '84 was some tinted color, you can hopefully see why i'd used the colorization term. Yes it's off, but the point was it wasn't the original presentation.
(not a great argument coming up)
Having problems finding a real comparison, but if these images are close to the remake, you maybe could see the recolored point.
(NOTE : this is a 'recreation' of the '84 with comparison to the original)

The official site has the original comic book adaptation up for reading.
The mention of doing bulk frame work in photoshop and Moth3r's recent comment reminds me of this Zion thread:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Fun-with-Photoshop-Denoising-an-LD-capture/topic/10460/
The idea being if you had an LD capture and the GOUT could you 'blend' them together utilizing the best of both sources to produce something possibly greater. Maybe that's what this version has done. But again it's all speculation.

I've always wondered how much influence she had in the final script- now I'll know! (that scriptshadow link is dead now, BTW).
Sorry the link was missing the 'l' in 'html' it's fixed now.
Yeah it's a great look at where things began and how much tweaking George had to do to get it where it ended up. Shows how much of a great condenser and organizer he was.
Can't remember if there's been much written about the initial reception to this version of the script. It is odd, some of the language is off (spacer instead of spaceship, and death world instead of death star) Not sure how much Brackett was knowledgable of the original film. Rinzler's book will hopefully get into this, if not zombie's Secret History of Star Wars will. Surprised this leak isn't getting more attention, but things like this put you back in place.
Of the ideas in it, the clone issue could have been more interesting then the army it became, a society which on a cellular level modifies itself leaves for more possibilities. I'm thinking that maybe he was going to make Lando and the other clones be imposteurs to the senators and other govt officials this draft would have introduced in the third film, as you meet Han's uncle.
The Wookie army from the early SW drafts returns on cloud city but would again get removed and put off to RotJ.
Anyone familiar with script writing? Who does everyone think the hand writing might be, is it Brackett or possibly Lucas? Kasdan?
Like this Luke/Vader fight better then the whole i'm your father thing. (that decision made everyone a relative, and shrunk everything too much for me) This version gets into what it is to fall to the darkside. Vader toying with the learner.
Also interesting to see what they were thinking would happen at the Cloud City dinner between Vader and Han/Leia. Minch and Obi fighting! Lots of ideas which it's great to see how they got reworked to become what we're all familiar with.
Yeah if it comes across as a fan edit like project I post it in the other forums, a similar one is the jibjab "Star Wars - starring you" which like SWUncut has got approval from Lucasfilm.

I've got V1, (can post caps) if you want to compare. (curiously awaiting tonights development)
A scan of the Leigh Brackett script for ESB made the blog rounds, here's some of the coverage:

Ok so who's going to make a mashup like this one when they have kids:

Here's an idea for a future letter.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/05/movies/05metropolis.html?ref=movies
It seems that Metropolis is going to be getting the full archival preservation treatment. The film which was the inspiration for 3po, which got a colorized special edition in the 80s (something Lucas despized [colorization] at the time yet 10 years later mimiced [special edition]), well they've found a 'missing' half hour of the movie and it will be included in future released versions. <nudge nudge wink wink>
They are predominantly german (70%), but the interviews are often english (30%), but they overdub with more german (25%), at times they don't, they use subtitles (5%), so overall very little english by itself. (95%) Sie wollen nicht, aber tun wollen, aber vielleicht nicht gerne
Volume 2 contains the long format programs which for the most part rely on stock footage, but they do contain bits which I haven't come across elsewhere. The first program is a general history of SW, which relies on Empire of Dreams, merchandising segments, those shots from '77. What's new here is part of the McCallum interview which was done around the Berlin premiere. In the Lucas interview he reiterates, "I'm not as involved, my interests go elsewhere, but i'm still at the center of the hurricane". Lots of fun fan costume stuff from that premiere, an interesting bedsheet like dress on one of the fans. and for a giggle, hear the 'Absolutely Nothing' line from Spaceballs in german. Also they have a promotion with the difficult question:
What is the new character in Episode 3? General Grevious or General Madine
The second half hour is the Making Of, which relys on the video which were posted on the starwars.com. But of interest again haven't seen anywhere else is a Portman interview before she had her head shaved for Vendetta. Maybe the long form of this interview if it emerges will have something interesting. Also, maybe this was from teh web features but I don't remember it, a clip of Lucas and Christensen (during the filming of the Mustafar segement) where Lucas is informting Hayden of how the DV transformation sequence will be shot. Otherwise clip heavy segments on weapons, costumes and digital filmmaking, and more from the Berlin premiere.
The third clips is an quarter hour segment on merchandising. Nice piece focusing on Hasbro's 3D scanner tech, how they sculpt the figures and toys. One interview implies how the flip up wing design of the jedi starfighter might have originated from the toy design. Also a clip of Lucas reiterating that if you don't go after the people who mis-license intellectual property the original owner loose it. and the last segment is the MTV Awards Mustafar parody subtitled.
Again great to see another set of material from this time frame. Many thank R2D2 for putting these out.
