I recently asked DigMod if I could tinker with some of the artwork for his project. He graciously gave me the green-light, so I thought I would try to craft a new ink-saver cover for his edit. I am also working on adding a few details to the disc art, which should be finished in the not too distant future. A big thanks to DigMod for allowing me to tinker a bit…

Cover:

Sweet, sweet work mate - very nice 😃

I’ve pretty much been awake for 24 hours and can’t fall asleep.

I suggest watching the Prequels - it works for me on occasion when troubled by not sleeping.

^ Aye, a fair bit less hassle than burning discs (and coasters!), installing and learning the various software involved, printing to discs and all that expensive ink etc… 😃

After many years of printing sci-fi and Star Wars dvd covers, discs and the like… I try to keep things simple - copy 'n paste onto a USB flash drive 😉 It’s always nice to have something a little different on the shelf too.

I came across a rare looking French VHS box set the other day, and with a little inspiration from Z6PO posting a picture of the laserdisc boxset of that set, have opted to ‘make’ another USB Flash Drive Frame (a simple cheap black Ikea Ribba-style photo frame - with a Star Wars background pic)…

^ I edited / adjusted / made up some of the lettering in MS Paint - so it’s not perfect - but should suffice…

The full size version can be found here - https://i.imgur.com/VFX7sii.png

The inspiring French laserdisc & video sets:-

with kudos to those classic 1993 ‘Widescreen Collector’s Edition’ laserdisc sets too…

a couple of pics from my new(ish) USB frames etc…

^ the text may be a little too big for the frame - though there’ll only be a small usb drive resting on the lower ledge of the frame.

^ the bobble-heads are quite good for resting a usb drive on the stand too.

You guys should just change your names.

Example: oojason MODERATOR
Example: SilverWook MODERATOR
Example: dahmage DON’T LISTEN TO ME

I kind of like my names as it is - and would like to keep it separate from on here - I really don’t want my family or friends calling me oojason or moderator - ‘idiot’ has sufficed for 43 years - and will very likely do so for a good few years to come.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

A mess and waste of a film that actually had a quality premise and a decent cast.

Directed by Guy Ritchie - who tried, for whatever reason, to being some ‘Snatch’ and ‘Lock Stock’ to this film - it did not work.

The LD box is square and flat. Still pyramid shaped, but somewhat lame compared to the VHS box.

I have it but it’s pretty busted, and missing the booklet 😦

Here’s what it looks like:

(not mine)

Thanks for the image mate - it’s given me an idea for my next USB flash drive ‘holder’ - a cheap black Ikea Ribba picture frame with this as the background pic for it…

a ‘The Force Awakens Fan Trailer (in the style of Christopher Nolan)’ video…

As long as the marking of moderators does not involve something akin to this below… I am all for it 😉

^ from https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/74q17q/amazing_propeace_street_art/

Found this on ebay earlier - and thought it may be of interest…

^ Quite a strange and rare (?) shape box for a Star Wars video release - don’t think I’ve seen one before…

edit - found a couple of better clearer pics from elsewhere:-

Nice find - though a little steep for my budget (the decimal point would need to move 2 places to the left 😉)

Out of interest are there adapters for it to get it to play in the UK/Europe? Or does the unit itself have to modded?

Cool - I really hope he enjoys them 😃

I purchased the ‘Faces’ Trilogy vhs boxset not long ago on ebay - bought for pennies and is in great condition too - my nieces and nephews look at me with some bewilderment when I take out this strange looking box called a ‘tape’ and enter it into a monster of a machine called a ‘video player’ 😉

The Count is wise…

Brilliant that 😃

Could you all please refrain from posting/replying in the quote block?

Thank you.

To The Count!

I hope you are well wherever you may well be 'ole comrade 😄

I was thinking recently about how confusing it would be to try and learn how to drive on the left side of the road if I ever moved to Britain. I’ll never move there so it doesn’t really matter, but I doubt I’d ever get the hang of it if I did.

😄

If you see someone struggling in a rental car - slowly turning or stopping to make a turn when probably not necessary to do so near a holiday resort - it’ll likely be a Brit!

My family had no end of slowing down and ‘making sure’ they were ‘driving correctly’ when on holiday in the US. And most in of Europe too 😃

Technically, discussing Duracell’s random thought isn’t off topic. I’ve got nothing else to say about it though so I’ll leave it be.

You must have missed this part - ‘I suggest we move on from Duracell’s mis-post’.

Knock this bickering off.

The next poster to make a snipe or snarky comment will likely get a couple of days off.

I suggest we move on from Duracell’s mis-post - and get the thread back on topic.

Thank you.

Well that’s true, but in this case I think it would fall under misinterpretation by the reader rather than accidentally racist. The main reason it needed to be deleted by a mod was because it was a picture of sexually active cats. No one wants to see that.

The text in the post was very clear - though it was not what Duracell was meant to actually post (confirmed in his latter post for clarity).

The picture of two cats at it is somewhat incidental and secondary to the text - though I agree in that no-one needs to see that.

Hence the deletion of the picture and editing of the text in his mis-post.

How much longer until the next versions of the Despecialized Trilogy are finished?

I believe this is the most recent post from Harmy on the matter - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1098196

The man has obviously been busy, he may wish to have a break, do others things, or get straight back into it.

Whatever he does choose to do - those ‘next versions’ will likely take some time.

Try and stay patient Editroid - we already have some superb versions of DeSpecialised, 2 AdyWan Edits & ROTJ being worked on, a whole host of Star Wars fan edits - including those for the new films. As well as a few more Star Wars films (& books and games etc) coming out soon too.

With the foot in mouth bug that’s been going around here lately, you could have gotten a temp ban.

Really, without a warning? It’s Duracell, he was obviously just being weird, not racist.

Unfortunately, the original post came across as just that (racist) - though thankfully was just a misunderstanding/mis-post as confirmed from Duracell’s later explanation.

As a general request to everyone - please be careful when posting - and read through how it may appear to other posters when they read it - before hitting that ‘Submit your reply’ button.

Thank you.
