A couple of intriguing and insightful videos on the character of Rey - and her place in the Sequel story… (without mentions of supposed Mary Sue-ness or ‘overpowering’ - which makes for a welcome change)

‘Who Are You? Analyzing Rey - Part One’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jFfL1wmdBw

‘Understanding Rey’s connection to The Force - Who Are You? - Part Two’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y64DcPwyfLY

^ both from the AT-AT Chat video channel (with a quality ‘AdmiralPiettLives’ handle on their instagram 😃)
 

My thoughts are that Holdo was more than competent in the theatrical version of TLJ.

Though a nice try on a technical level from the editor there with inserting Ackbar back into their version. Decent voice work as well (and at the very end too) 😃
 

Only seen the opening scene video so far - very intriguing. I love the ideas for this edit, and am looking forward to seeing how they pan out. Good luck man.

Nice work - that looks great 😃

^ PM sent mate.

IIRC the default setting on Handbrake does result in a fair bit of loss to the quality (it’s been a while since I’ve used it, and there’s likely been a few changes).

This article explains how to change the video quality so you won’t lose much - or any - quality in the video settings:-

(there may also be some decent youtube videos out there which may have more helpful info too)
 

I think I used to use a video setting on the RF scale of 12-14, though would have a play around with them to find the which setting gave the best / most acceptable results.

Good luck with it man.

Handbrake is a decent, free and easy-to-use piece of software that can convert many differing file formats pretty well.

There’s likely far better software out there - though it does the job 👍
 

Just finished the 2nd season of Peaky Blinders - a UK crime drama set in 1920s Birmingham, England in the aftermath of World War I. The series follows the exploits of the Shelby crime family, a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps (hence the title), under the guide of fierce boss Tommy Shelby.

Pretty decent tv with some welcome twists and surprises along the way - if you can get past the accents 😉

Does anyone thinks that Episode IX could bring the fan base back together, or will it still just make many mad? It makes me annoyed how critical and harsh people can be.

I hope Episode IX does bring the fan-base back together… though with the amount of monetised clickbait, negativity and toxicity written about Star Wars of late - some of it intentionally focusing on creating and continuing a polarision within the fan-base (insert keywords into videos and articles such as RJ, KK, Disney, Mary Sue, feminism, agendas, SJWs etc do/does this - and then rinse and repeat; with little to no facts, balance or responsibility required)… I somehow doubt it.

That’ll all be before any balanced or constructive criticism for any aspects some fans may not like or enjoy with Episode IX.

Though man, I hope to be wrong on that.
 

^ there is the Jedi: Fallen Order game that’s scheduled for release ‘this fall’ (if not cancelled too) - though you’re right, it hasn’t been enough for many of us fans/gamers. Just the 4 more years of this deal with EA… 😉

Hi and welcome BlueManta44,

You purchased the Depsecialized Editions? - I hope you didn’t pay more than for the cost of blank discs and p&p…

Though if you did… this video from Harmy himself may be worth a watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 (and reading the About and Help sections linked at the top of the site may help you get a feel for the place) 😃
 

Re your issues with the PS3 not playing the Despecialized discs - have you tried playing the discs in another PS3 (friend, family, neighbour’s etc) to see if they play in there? Does your Despecialized discs work in other bly ray players?

It does sound like there may be an issue with the discs themselves.
 

^ nice one, thanks man.

Science fiction doesn’t interest me as keenly as it once did. I’m more into magic realism these days.

What sort of tv shows and films would come under magic realism?

A fair few more Star Wars related projects made from junk metal (and some other sci-fi stuff too):-

Episodes I to V may well be available on FanEdit•info (as smudger stated). If not, or there is an error, it may be worth reporting it at FanEdit•info - or asking them to re-upload them.

Would anyone be able to send me a link to JasoN’s prequel edits? I’d really like to see them all as they seem like they’d be fun

I’m looking for it too …

FanEdit•info may well have it - as well as a few other quality Edits by JasonN
 

indeed, but it’s an old dlc (2014) that doesn’t work 😕

Have you tried reporting the issue to FanEdit•info - they may be able to fix any issues or re-upload?

^ Fully agree mate. No new Star Wars Lego game since TFA? Or even fun ‘pick up and play’ games of years ago like these…

What could have been…
