General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

I’m surprised that people still argue over physics in SW. These films have broken the laws of physics for the sake of entertainment since the first film. Not to mention that Lucas, and especially Kershner, were quite adamant about SW being fantasy and not true sci-fi.

Yes, same here.

Edit: love that documentary - and well worth a re-watch.

Dealing with People Selling Fan Projects
Time

^ Going on that video I think he did know it was not okay to buy them mate…

The guy somehow glossed over and omitted the part of ‘Fan Edits must never be bought or sold’ on his video (around 7 mins in) - despite talking about what was on screen in detail before that particular line of text.

He also linked to the site - so he is very much aware that fan edits and preservations etc must never be bought and sold - and also likely aware that Harmy even made a video on the very subject, here:-

Help: looking for... Pearl Harbor: Strength and Honor Edition?
Time

Hi and welcome to the site Rated-R-Ron,

I think there is a thread on what you are looking for in the Index thread for the ‘Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties’ section - it’ll be worth asking in the thread for that particular edit to see if anyone can help you out.

Good luck with it mate.

This reflects a lot of my feelings about the saga as a whole and the times we now live in…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThTX8XD9jv8

Same here mate.

It’s pleasing to read that JJ reckons he’s moving TROS forward somewhat, from what TFA was - and from what he thought it should be at the time. How the story has evolved through this new generation, bearing the weight and learning from what has come before, and readying themselves for their own struggles and stories 😃

 

For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet - the Vanity Fair piece on TROS, with an interview with JJ Abrams:-

(some great looking images from the film and behind the scenes too)

How do I add my project thread to the ‘Project Index’ threads on here?

 

If you have a project thread that you’d like to see added to the ‘Project Index’ threads then…

…simply make a post in the respective ‘Project Index’ thread about your project.

Be sure to include the project title, the link to the OT•com thread, the category it is best suited in (ie, a 3-in-1 Sequel Trilogy edit, or an edit of 2003 Clone Wars animated series, or a fun edit of a Star Wars tv commercial etc) - and also the current status - and it will soon be added to the Project Index.

 

Some additional and useful information (also found in at the top of each of the Fan Project Indexes)

A polite request: That fan editors & preservationists keep their project threads (and thread titles) updated as to their status - whether their project is in the… ‘Planning’ or ‘Idea’ stages, if any ‘Help Needed’ is required, is a ‘Work In Progress (WIP)’, or hopefully ‘Finished’ & ‘Released’ - or even unfortunately ‘Unfinished’, ‘Cancelled’ or ‘On Hiatus’ etc.

The site staff also ask that fan editors & preservationists include information in the opening post of their project thread as to how they would like members to ask about obtaining their projects; whether that is by sending them a PM, or asking for link requests in the project thread itself, or by other means. Thank you.
 

If you’d like your project added to the ‘Project Index’ threads please post a link to it in the relevant ‘Project Index’ thread - along with which category it belongs in - and also its current status.
 

Some information about The 2020 re-organisation of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site - and more…

 

If creating a new thread that is NOT a fan project… please give fellow members a clear idea of what the thread is about. For example, add ‘Query’, or ‘Info’, ‘Discussion’, ‘Help: looking for…’, ‘Help Wanted’, ‘Info Wanted’, ‘Has anyone done a project on X?’, or ‘Idea: for Project X’ etc to the thread title. It annoys members to see lazily titled threads that appear to be projects on here - to open them - and only to find it is some lazy git just looking for a project, or wanting a link, or more info, or wanting someone else to make a project for them etc. Please do not make new threads for which there are project threads already in existence.

I am receiving unwanted / harassing PMs on here - what do I do?

 

As per our…

'Breaking the following rules may result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:

  1. Do not harass other members, either publicly or via PM. Any unwanted contact after a request to stay away will be considered harassment.’

 

If you receive any further PMs on here after asking the sender to stop… let a moderator know as soon as possible.

Posting on the OriginalTrilogy•com…

 

 
We’re a diverse and welcoming community - the site is after all based on a love & reverence for all things Star Wars. This is especially so for the Original Trilogy - with many on here viewing the Star Wars universe through a distinct OT-focused lens or perspective - as well as having a fervour for the unaltered theatrical cuts of the three iconic films, obviously. Yet there is also a respect for everything else from the Galaxy Far Far Away. Yes, even The Holiday Special, maybe…

Take your time to look around the site before posting - and to also get a feel for the place. We are not like reddit or 4chan etc (not that there’s anything wrong with those sites) - we’re just a little different… more of an old-skool site ‘for a more civilised age’.

The upshot is ‘Be Civil - Be Cool’; passionate - yet cordial discussion & wide-ranging views are both welcome and encouraged - toxicity, personal attacks, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, disingenuous bad faith arguments - including agenda-led/toxic/FDM type videos, trolls & WUM behaviour are not - and choosing that path will likely see your stay on here being a short one.

To paraphrase Irvin Kershner, quoted whilst directing Empire Strikes Back… ‘fight for what you love - not because you hate’.

 

A reminder that a significant number of members on here are fans made to feel unwelcome at certain other Star Wars sites - or were censored or even banned for discussing the unaltered cuts, or highlighting Lucas’ disingenuous statements & alterations to SW history.

Also, a number of preservationists, fan editors, and people making other fan-made projects (such as documentaries) over the years here on the OriginalTrilogy•com have received death threats, threats in general, and ‘threats to life’ - unless they ceased work on, or distribution of, their freely-available projects. These threats were made from other Star Wars fans / zealots who see such projects on here from this community… as somehow insulting or derogatory to George Lucas, the wider Star Wars fandom, or to their own beliefs.

Beliefs such as preservations of the unaltered theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy should no longer exist or be seen, or that fan edits desecrate George’s ‘vision’(s). Or fans seemingly deeply offended - even triggered to anger and threats - by cited articles, projects, and documentaries from fans here chronicling a more complete and accurate history of Star Wars… than that of the re-written, somewhat selective, and retconned version of history often found in official or licensed content and sources from Lucas / Lucasfilm.

OriginalTrilogy•com is a site to openly talk about the revered original cuts of the 3 iconic Star Wars films and its full, factual history.
 

We hope you enjoy your time on here - as thousands of others already have, currently do, and will - in the future to come. 👍

 

The ‘Fandom’ section of An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion and A brief overview of the OriginalTrilogy•com down the years… may also be of interest for a more in-depth history of this unique fan community / for further reading.
