Sorry, it'd be a googlewack is it didn't use the quotes.
Googling for "Star Wars is People" returns one result
"Saying that fur is people pretending to be animals is like saying Star Wars is people pretending to be aliens." -some guy named Gunfox"
Picture / Thread ... you make the call.

Since you're working with the new updated Handbrake this might not be relevant now, but something to consider for the future.
(aside)
Although h264 is a current standard and focus of Handbrake's updates, have you looked into Ogg Theora? It's an open source standard very comparitable to h264.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora
The hopefully implemented soon upgrade of Wikipedia to include video in all pages will rely on Ogg Theora as their codec.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-27076_3-10289952-248.html
Archive.org is another supporter of the format. But these two sites have the open source nature as one of their primary decision making forces.
here's some articles on the h264 vs Theora debate:

I just want to know if there's any interest out there for it.
Of course there is, don't be silly. Welcome back.
On this Clapperboard (v3) work, will it require a new cap from the beta source. Or do you still have the original cap, and are trying to improve the compression of that source?
Handbrake was the only Mac program I could find which could burn in subtitles, so its great that way. Last I heard they were going to drop divx, as mp4 and mkv seem to be taking over.

The main point of the Star Trek reviews is how the TNG television show is dramatically different then the movies Their treatment of Picard. (TV show = Thoughtful, Movie = Action BadAss) Also how the movies show a general disrespect for the ideals of Star Trek in general, from plots not being thought through to the worse level of cost cutting, the reuse of special effect shots. are what stand out for me.
And each times in around 40 minutes so there's lots of examples, many cross cutting clips from the original show and how the movies tweaked the characterizations. The do tend to be slower and less techniques are used in the review process. (the quick cut audio transition into the next chapter for instance is used everywhere) RLM's crafting his work.
Whoaho! We've opened up new Unecceptable territory! In my country there is problem...
Again check the wiki, his Chest Plate (not t-shirt... sheeesh) has some hebrew characters on it:

(well that teaches me to make hebrew text yokez in this forum, should have looked like this: http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#en|iw|Empire's%20Official%20Tonsils%20Checker)

no, no, no. Vader is the Empire's Official Tonsil Checker. Yes it's part of EU, but it's there, check the wiki.

You find yourself in a Star Wars parade, what do you write on the poster your holding up?
Extra points for quick and catchy!
Hehehe, saw that too as I was researching zombie84's Media review thread. A guess is that in addition to Hamill introducing segments maybe there was the idea to include segments of the Making Of special.
here's the aftermath thread with explanation of the extra minutes:
http://groups.google.com/group/net.movies.sw/browse_frm/thread/e524b3acb522c4bc/34593f4be7f4fbe5?lnk=gst&q=cbs#34593f4be7f4fbe5
think the CBS showing was fully intact, however, I found all the
little speeches by CBS "personalities" about their reactions and
memories of Star Wars rather annoying and distracting. I mean, who
cares what Kate Jackson or Valerie Bertinelli thought about the movie,
or about anything at all, for that matter?
Anyone else finding this threads misandry pushing them towards misanthropy or is it just the logomisia. Maybe we all share misarchy, or there's a fear of miserotia plaguing the misanders and misogynists alike. Misetes Misetos Misocainia. MISOGELASTIC!!!!! But seriously, you might share misologia for the misologist misologue which plagues this misohijacked thread. It's OK. What WE must not stand for is misology of misoneistic misomusistical misoneist MISOPOGONIST! What would George think of us then. what would George think of us then. So rant about the misotyrannistic misotramontanist nomomisia of RedLetterMedia. And by all means continue the misoscopist of the other side, it does misopsychia misozoeticus misozoia. ok i lost track, your turn:

You've recognized the problem and have attempted to enlarge the data pool, although admirable doubleing the size, it's still 100 reviews. Not sure if it's available but circulation pools might help you argument. You could take the Reviewer rating for the Washington *blank* review and multiply that by the circulation of the newspaper to get a sense of how far that review might have reached the public. But the idea of having your data advancement article out there so that more people might submit the articles from that time period to you for data collection, will make for a great resource.
Dataset wise watching the evolution of the IMDb review ratings might be something to consider as this article gains new data. Having random people's ratings and comparing how they fluctuate over time might make for an interesting story. Right now IMDb's Star Wars over the past 6 years doesn't deviate from the 8.8 judging from 3 wayback page views:
Current 302,548 votes - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ratings
2005.11 152,264 votes - http://web.archive.org/web/20051109230107/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ratings
2004.03 109,571 votes - http://web.archive.org/web/20040327180551/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ratings

This RotJ review quote (Robert Amsler ...@SRI-AI.ARPA>) seems relevant:
"The reactions I hear from folks out here are varied. Most seem to have liked it. I suspect only the hard core finds it a disappointment...I read a review in Newsweek. It seemed right on target. Surprising how the news magazines have been right about these films--contrary to the critics."
dang it now i'm going to be Gonk War obsessed for the next few hours..
I am sure people will have something to say about any of this
(...statements like that seems to doom my threads/projects, hope you have better luck)

RedLetterMedia's take on Avatar.
***New Video Only Web Interface Webpage***

Watch all the segments at the same time if you wish! Hopefully this is straight forward enough so that anyone (fans / non-fans / the night janitor) might be intreiged to watch some chapters.
Try it out, tell yr friends or fiends. Actually would like to test out the distribution, so if you find yourself with an internet connection in the first 5 minutes at the top of any hour (on sunday and monday), could you attempt to stream all the videos. ***TEST OVER - THANKS*** Curious what kind of load can be put onto the system, when it's dumped at once.

'Alien Rap' could be an extra. if you appreciate it. the MC raps in conjunction with dialog clips of the movie.

The huge swords that span Saddam Hussein's old parade ground in Baghdad were built by the former Iraqi leader as a symbol of his battles with the Iranians during the 1980s.
Now a young American artist, Michael Rakowitz, has been investigating the connection between the monument and the movie Star Wars, and he has an exhibition at the Tate Modern in London.
The reference is rather flimsy, but the idea is that fun kind of preposterous, which could be true.

There's no more Original Star Wars centric chapter then this weeks 'Opening Intro's New Hope Impact'. Which is dedicated to those magical 5 seconds which started a lot of the appreciation to these films.
