‘Star Wars Home Video Trivia: Questions 1 - 10 (Hosted by Nathan P. Butler)’ - 11 minute video:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-9cwQwn0xw
 

The blurb: ‘Nathan P. Butler asks Star Wars home video trivia questions (and provides answers at the end). The audience is invited to play along and post their scores. Each video includes 10 questions, and viewers may keep track of their score for a single episode or the series as a whole (hence numbering each episode for the next 10, rather than starting back at 1 each time)’.

I got 7/10 (and am quite happy with that).

A lot of fun - and well presented and hosted by Nathan (as ever). Looking forward to more…
 

You may want to ask any questions for 4K80 in the 4K80 thread? - In the Star Wars Preservation forum. 👍
 

It may also be worth skimming through the 4K80 thread to see if your questions have already been answered.

 
^ So please do NOT make any ‘request for links’ posts in this thread - and actually send me a PM, instead. Thanks.

The reason why there is a 30+ post requirement for these 225+ projects… is to try and encourage members to engage more as a community on here - to join in with the discussions across the various forums. Maybe learning about how projects are made, and consider undertaking their own project - or just chill out and talk about the OT, the GFFA, and film & TV… or life in general.

A bit like it used to be on here - before the influx of newer members only asking for links - not leaving any feedback or reviews - nor joining in with any of the discussions across the forums. Not even trying to help fellow members by answering questions or pointing them to relevant threads and useful info. Or often not bothering to read the rules about the place - or look up or learn on how to ask for a project on here… instead just filling up project threads with unnecessary ‘link request’ posts… and little else.

^ So this is an attempt to remedy that… to get back to how things used to function quite well on here… and also serve as a reminder that anyone can become a helpful and valued asset to the unique community… that is this old-school Rebel base. 👍

Wow! I’m just going through more of your project now - it is as if you have transported me back in time some 30 years! 👍
 

I love it - all credit to everyone involved! ‘Making Magic’ as well, even the chess game too! 😃

So many old memories on the ‘Behind The Magic’ and ‘Making Magic’ sections! I’m very much looking forward to exploring this some more.
 

Also, that is cracking website you have in the linktree - looking forward to also exploring that soon.

Thank you, MasterKal.

Off topic is now on its deathbed…

The post frequency is akin to a day on Venus.

Then why not attempt to make a change to remedy that, mate?

Get together with the people who do post here… and attempt to make a grouped effort to post and participate more; to encourage each other, listen and talk with each other, to look for and post up some… interesting, insightful, engaging or just fun content… in a bid to making this section a more livelier part of the forum - enticing others to also join in and post on a more regular basis.
 

Maybe encourage the members who only make post after post asking for ‘project links’ in the four Fan Project forums… to join in the discussions across the board… including ‘Off Topic’ (as well as encouraging them to at least leave some feedback or reviews for the projects they desperately want to acquire. For them to become an actual member and a part of the community here - which in turn would likely help get them acquire the projects they find so ‘difficult’ to acquire.

I have been hunting a set (from each country) for while now. I’ll be sure to preserve them once I obtain them 😃

I love this site! 😃

Thanks so much. Keep us posted with how you get on? 😄

I am pleased to announce that I have finally acquired the complete Japanese trilogy of Star Wars on Video 8. Hard to believe its taken this long, not to mention the cost that had come with it!

I am now half-way into completing the preservation process, all I need is a deck. Similarly, they too are expensive to acquire especially for a decent one. I am currently eyeing one out and it will cost a tone to import.

Cheers,
RUKUS

Hi RUKUS,

Did you manage to complete a preservation of these beautiful looking releases?

Also, did you manage to get hold of a deck? Or find a decent local transfer service for ‘Video8 to digital format’ etc?

I’d be willing to help out if any assistance is required. 👍

MasterKal said:

I have the Japan trilogy on 8mm. Pics of them posted here are mine.

Did you make a digitised preservation of the Original Trilogy on Video8 that you’d be willing to share or make available?

That is one impressive opening post for a most intriguing fan edit - I’m hooked - and also wishing you all the best with it.

👍

Edit: my ‘spoiler-free’ mini-review…

(disclaimer: I’m a bit of a 2003-05 Clone Wars fan)
 

Broom Kid’s edit successfully achieves it’s goal… to present a version of Clone Wars that best flows as a film - and actually feels like a film (which is no easy task given the original ‘animated shorts’ format of this much under-rated series).

I was very kindly sent a link to this late last night - and wasn’t going to watch it until the weekend when I have some spare time, though thought I’d pop it on and have a quick look at the first few minutes… that was a mistake on my part… as once this edit grabbed my attention in those first few minutes this was never going to be turned off until the end credits.

This edit also showcases just what a talented director (and creator) Genndy Tartakovsky is - bringing a highly stylised, boundless energy, and well-crafted action to the show - as well as a touch of humour and humanity to the story when required. It also serves as a reminder of just how much unique and fun the series was - whilst highlighting just what could be accomplished in telling these animated shorts (especially as the series progressed).

The many memorable villains also still stand out here - despite the limitations of originally being in separate story arcs. For me, most of the better stories set in the GFFA need an effective villain for it to work, or for the story to be lifted, or have that ‘weight’ or emotional connection to it… and anyone who was previously watched the series before knows the villains in Clone Wars deliver upon that, and then some.

Yet, as stated above, the goal of this edit in making the series feel like a free-flowing film was achieved - and surpassed - all whilst still making for an engaging story to experience.

Image and sound quality are of a high standard - clean and fresh (though not too sharp). Transitions and/or edits are seamless - and there were no technical issues that I noticed. Subtitles were also done very well, too.
 

I’d recommend this edit for both hard-core 2003 CW fans - and the uninitiated looking for an enjoyable introduction to the series. And also for any Star Wars fans looking for something a little different and fun to watch.

Quality work, Broom Kid - nice one! 👍

Hi Patricier, could you add ‘Help; looking for…’ (or something similar) to the title of your thread, please?

An Index Of Projects & Help for Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties…:
 

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.

It also makes it easier for members to find the actual project threads - and also when some help is being asked for to answer any queries we may have on here - especially when thread titles are more clearly labelled.

(It also helps me a lot when it comes to updating the various ‘Index & Help’ threads at the start of every month.)
 

Thanks mate 👍
 

And good luck in finding what you are looking for, too.

The finale was pretty damn good, I must say

Same for me - really enjoyed it and the series as a whole.
 

Finale Spoilers…

I do wonder if the finale perhaps had an edit to it made late in the day? There were a couple of noticeable jumps (story-wise; leaving what happened to Jod so open ended, the pirate takeover of the planet seemed a little out of place / may originally have had more to it?) That is just pure speculation on my part - but may explain an otherwise a few loose strands in an otherwise tightly put together and fun adventure series.

Separate to this…

Actress Yasmine Al Massri revealed on Instagram she was cast as a Jedi in a deleted scene from Skeleton Crew - the link is to the actress’ instagram account with a gallery of 11 or so images of her in Jedi garbs on-set.

B-Wings rule! That is all.

This comment section is the reason I stopped using these forums. Just people begging for piracy.

Yep, I completely agree - it is such a pity so many project threads are full of links request post - and little else. Though it is a great pity that you have stopped using these forums (as well as a number of others have) due to others’ spamming the forums with unnecessary and tiresome link requests. I hope that soon changes and people return to talking more about the intriguing projects themselves once again…
 

Even despite Tomi kindly and clearly giving instructions on how to acquire a different finished project in here…

tomi said:

if anyone wants the finished scan feel free to dm me

Yet instead people still make posts in the thread asking how to acquire the project - or make a post asking for a link instead (or seemingly couldn’t be bothered to read up on how so send a PM on here in some cases).

I also find if somewhat difficult to understand why so few members seem to be able to grasp how to ask for a project on here…

‘I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation Project I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it?’

^

• Do NOT simply just post ‘a request’ for links in the project thread (unless asked to do so by the editor or preservationist) - doing so just fills threads up with endless link requests… which often disrupts any ongoing discussions on the projects themselves, further ideas, and also much-valued feedback occurring in such threads.

^ from the ❕ ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com; some info & answers ❕ thread - in the ‘General Assistance’ forum.

Hiya nsp,

I once had a ‘DVD preservation’ copy of the 1995 Hong Kong LD release - I think it was the only P&S release for that 1995 series of releases (all the others were Widescreen) - but unfortunately it got lost over the years… and it is seemingly a difficult release to find these days.

Personally, I loved it - despite the burnt-in subtitles. Not at the quality of Moth3r’s PAL set (WS), yet that not far off either.
 

Forcefreak on TSWT forums posted this info about the 1995 P&S Hong Kong set (all credit to him)…

It is probably worth asking JadedSkywalker for his opinion on which is the best P&S release of the more readily available sets?

Wingman was certainly an enjoyable watch - very much in the ‘old-skool’ OT vibe 👍
 

These two threads/posts on Star Wars fan films may be of interest…

Star Wars Fan Films / Shorts - a general discussion thread

An Index of Star Wars fan films - and more useful info…

Personally, Dark Legacy, One day I’ll become…, and Birth Of A Monster rank amongst my favourites - something of a different take to the usual ‘lightsaber fight in the woods’ type fan films (not that there’s anything wrong with those - just that are a lot of them…).

Bucketheads is also a good watch, with some intriguing ideas and execution.

Hoshino from back in 2016 was also an enjoyable viewing - with some quality choreography.
