'Thee Backslacpkping With Media'
Time

Yes that is a copy of the trailer. This work did gather a semblance of support, so it still exists in various places. (an ironic one being the old iFilm location which got bought out by Spike TV, so the channel with exclusive rights to the SW films, makes you watch a commercial before watching the RotS 133t Trailer)

Commercialized Version : http://www.spike.com/video/star-wars-133t/2667391

In the interview with the creator 133t m4r( he pointed out that this doesn't bother him, the work still gets to be seen, but he was bothered by the sites which burn in their logo onto his piece. Those were some of his concerns.

Interview : http://www.noneinc.com/tBSWM/tBSWM_FAQ.html#l33tweek

and he hasn't commented to my heavy lifting of his subs when I put them onto the Celebration live performance of the RotS Trailer.

For me the issues comes up if any video posted online today, eventually becomes commercialized by some organization (as in this case with an ad), why not allow the creators to reap the rewards while they live.  and since that seems to be the way the internet is going, then are any of these Cease and Desists done for any reason beside lessening the public support these works have gathered.

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

That's the new article from which the Cameron quote came from:

but it's interesting that this article came up when looking.

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,286397,00.html (Jan 10, 1997

In the firmament of cinematic second-guessers, there are plenty of leading lights. Consider James Cameron, who has noodled around with expanded ''special editions'' of Aliens, The Abyss, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day for TV and video.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_(film)#Special_edition

Confirms that the noodling alluded too, was additional scenes.  Of course at this time Cameron didn't have the digital playground so who knows what might happen now that he's got the tools.

btw the correct (and new & phun) terminology for the future piracy discussed prior is "Imminent Infringement"

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/04/21/1247253/ACTA-Treaty-Released?art_pos=4

 

"The full text of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) was released today. It differs from the earlier leaks in that the negotiating stance of each country has been scrubbed. Preliminary analysis is up at Ars, which warns that "Several sections of the ACTA draft show that rightsholders can obtain an injunction just by showing that infringement is 'imminent,' even if it hasn't happened yet.""

ON HOLD: A New Hope: ReVHSed (Pan & Scan of Adywan's Revisited)
Time

 

Adywan has "burned in" subtitles during Han & Greedo's scene.

 

I've heard, and I could be wrong, but Adywan might be a member of this forum, I know this might sound rediculous, but he might have the video without subs, and if you demand (using curses and person threats to family and friends) he might consider offering it so that you can revises the subs to fit the Pan&Scan mythos.

The process of finding references is highly annoying.  So in Rinzler's "The Making of Star Wars" book, page 303.  There are mentions of several films which fall under the banner which might have a reference:

<blockquote>The inevitable slate of imitations was quickly planned by other studios as well.  Walt Disney productions began work on two films: Space Station One <edit> and The Cat from Outer Space.<blockquote>

Now I too enjoy pointing out Disney's continuous copying of everything and then contradictory response to other's creativity.  But i've just sat through 'The Cat from Outer Space' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077305/) and I find it absolutely astounding that they would bother to mention this film at all.  Sure there's a dogfight sequence at the end, and a space ship in the beginning, but to spend time to put this in the definitive book on Star Wars's history, it's laughable.

Here's the things which stuck out in my mind as possible references.

(characters look at the space ship dialog) "There she is" 31:50 (similar to ANH, Han in DS)

(ANH like dogfight between airplane and helicopter dialog) "Turn this thing around." "Hold on." "Here they come." "They're still on our tail."  1:32:00 The first is close to Ben but for the most part they're generic.

But this movie came out in 1978, but there's a bunch of things which sound similar to:

"The scoundrel." 54:00 ok that's just one word, but you've got to pick up verbage from somewhere.

"Why aren't they doing something" (sorta like RotJ where the Empire's fleet is waiting for the Emperors signal before attacking the rebel fleet.)  again weak.

"It's a Trap!" 1:28:20  Could this be one of the inspirational clues for Ackbar's famous tirade?! 

Anyway it's a conundrum why 'The Cat from Outer Space' is mentioned in the Making of Star Wars book.  There seem to be more questionable inspirations then references.

...Luckily for every one of these questionable references, there are some definitive ones.  Like Toxic Avenger 4 : Citizen Toxie, where the ending has Toxie (with a mop) fighting i guess his clone who's got a double ended mop, and while they're fighting (a la TPM) two in utero twins are mimicing their moves in their own fight.  Now that's a quality Star Wars Reference.

Please add in a green 'PLAY' in the upper corner over the Fox Logo.  Maybe some:

And you could gag the switch from channel 3 to 4, and the movies already in play..  or the gag where the movie is recorded over your wedding video...  or at the dramatic moment, a piece of some cheesy 80s sitcom...

This guy's figured out your packaging scheme:

Info: the Star Wars Uncut website -+- ESBU Trailer
Time

As of 2010.04.12 there are 892 submissions, with another 20-30 pending.  They are going through the film circuit at the moment, and the website redesign let's hope can be interfaced with Boxee and other tv set internet streaming devices. (vimeo does work with Boxee) There hasn't been much talk from them about a DVD release, it would be highly optimistic if it happened this year.  (if LFL permits SWU to go to DVD, then the fan film making community might see this as an opening)  To answer your question, oh course there's a possibility.  Do the downloading yourself, it will also show the stat collectors the appeal of the entire project, let your clicks do the talking.

Some favs. the Script Take of Scene 399c, and the digital wankery take of Scene 146b

There's a slew of takes which are not goal objective, and they're quite surprising and entertaining.  So there's reason to watch them all, to at least see where people's minds went recreating 'this thing.'
