Surprised no wise guys have said Gungans appear in the movie. They don’t.

THAT IS A SPOILER! Now I know Gungans don’t appear in the movie. Someone perm ban Silverwook.

^ Agreed. It is the only way…

😃

Edit - doh! Sorry Warbler, turns out there is a Gungan in TLJ, and it’s been known for a while:-

Fear not - it’s only a matter of time before Wook slips up again…

Here mate, in the ‘Star Wars Preservations and Other Fan Projects’ section of the site:-

Out of curiosity, what makes you say that? VLC should have absolutely no problem playing a high bitrate x264 file in an m2ts container, in general. If it’s a matter of the hardware not being good enough, I’m not sure that other software will solve the problem, but perhaps it will!

What Bluto said below (or now above 😉) - I also have some experience of vlc player refusing to play the njvc iso files too, whilst the Leawo software plays it well.

(and that’s not knocking the vlc player - which is a superb piece of free kit)

It’s a very different movie, which itself is a strength, the way each OT film felt unique. But it makes it harder to compare them.

This is partly what I like about TLJ - there is a lot to take in from it - yet it is different to what has come before (in my humble opinion) - and will likely require a few more viewings for me 😃

I just joined too, and so far I’ve been very welcome. Here, from my understanding, you’re treated the way you treat people. Don’t be an asshole, or rude, or annoying to anyone and you’ll be fine.

A bit like real life, eh? 😃

There are many varied and differing opinions on here - some like the Prequels as much as the OT, others like the new films over ROTJ - some loathe R1 & TFA etc - whatever their preferences or viewpoints, they are all welcome.

Of course, members will likely be asked by others as to why they hold an opinion etc - and that’s where I think we can all learn a fair bit. We may still all disagree, but meh… who cares? Our liking, or love, for Star Wars is what brought us here - and our liking for Star Wars is hopefully greater than anything we don’t like about it.

Mielr thanks for sharing your posts! It’s nice to see other people who hated this movie and think it sucks as much as me!

Wow, I just signed up on this forum to discuss how much I dislike the new Star Wars movie. But after seeing how new users are treated, I think I will pass. Sorry Jay but this place sucks.

Uh-huh. You just signed up to tell us how bad TLJ was. Right. Then saw how new members were treated. You will now give this place a pass. But you know who Jay is. Oh. And this place sucks. Okay…

Man, you’re insulting the members on here with this - of which you were one, once. Hiding like this does you on favours.

Grow up mate - do or aim for something constructive - get on with your life.

Ok, I’ve downloaded Star Wars 2.7 BD50 so far. I’ve checked the hashes and it’s all verified. I can’t burn the disc yet as I don’t yet have a burner, but I mounted it and opened it in VLC. Everything works except for the main feature which won’t play at all. Could it be a limitation of my laptop (which isn’t the greatest)? I haven’t yet tried it on my main rig yet as I’m still downloading the rest of the ISOs but I do it from work because I have a crazy data cap where I live. I’m going to try it out tonight, but wondering if this is a common issue? My laptop is a 64-bit Lenovo t420i Thinkpad with Windows 10 with 4GB RAM. Intel i3-2350M CPU at 2.3GHz. I’ve mounted the ISO from a 5TB external hard drive (but connected to USB2.0 not USB3.0 as my laptop doesn’t have USB3.0 ports).

vlc likely will not play the main feature.
 

It may be worth giving this a try - the Leawo Blu-ray Player…

It is free, easy to use and does it’s job very well - plus, it’s available for both mac and windows computers. It can be downloaded from:-

http://www.leawo.com/blu-ray-player/
http://www.leawo.org/blu-ray-player/
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Leawo-Blu-ray-Player
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/leawo_blu_ray_player.html

and likely a fair few other places too. videohelp.com is a great resource - and may have other free alternative players too.

Good luck with it 😃

I believe there is a shot in TLJ that looks a lot like one of the TFA:R shots ^_^ and I didn’t see anything contradicting it either.

If you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about, that shot provides a nice sound effect that can be used in the similar TFA:R shot, too!

If you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about when talking about what you were talking about to Collipso … 😉 I think there are 3 sound effects in all to choose from.

(and possibly a visual shot or two that could be used in TFA-R when TLJ is released for home use - if preferred, of course)

And if not, than I have no idea what you are talking about 😃

you think most people are anyway.

What’s a word for “higher than most but lower than all?”

utmost

ut·most
ˈətˌmōst/
adjective

1.
most extreme; greatest.

noun

1.
the greatest or most extreme extent or amount.

Yeah but all would be the greatest or most extreme, so try again.

exceedingly.

hypermajority.
supermajority.

penomnis. (which isn’t in the dictionary but is a derived from the latin prefix “pen-” (eg. penultimate) meaning almost, and “omnis” meaning all, so it could valid, albeit people wouldn’t know what you meant by it since it’s not in common vocabulary.

 
 

I think it’s ‘pen omnis’ (two words) - my Latin is a little rusty - though still remember the smack around the back of head when taking the mick, as young teenagers do, in Latin class many years ago.

Language is fluid. And this is the English language, not the Latin language. English often takes various words or parts of words and smooshes them together to create a new word. In effect, it is one word if we want it to be one word.

Also, pen is a prefix. I would think saying “penomnis” should be two words is like saying “pandemic” should be two words (from “pan” meaning all, and “demos” meaning people, and “ic” meaning pertaining to). But again, pandemic in our language does not mean “pertaining to all people”, it means a contagion that affects all people. So a word can mean what we want it to or be organized how we want it to.

You seemingly missed the part where I was referring to it’s use in a Latin class - in Latin. And, indeed, you’ll find many languages derive from others over time - English included. Possibly even words like ‘smooshes’ too 😉

Anyway, back on topic…

I 100% believe Del Toro’s character was originally envisioned for Lando. The whole Canto stuff seems so separate it may end up on MY cutting room floor too.

On this, I saw DJ as an alternative, almost a mirror, to Han - yet DJ is the character that never picked a side, and continued on a path where money ruled his head - and heart.

Though that is just my take, of course.

Ha! 😃

After a while I lost track of which art was from which cover too - fair play to whoever collected all those covers into one post (and the people who came up with them too).

The casino planet actually added quite a bit to the story and for what is to come. Little threads in the film that lead up to the ending and also showed that not everything is black and white (the resistance is dealing with the same people who deal with the first order). The resistance has now become the rebellion and is all but gone at the end of the film. Something that was said earlier on (and again later). “We are the spark that will light the fire that will burn the first order down”.

Canto Bight is a planet where the rich and elite congregate in luxurious overindulgence while the rest of the inhabitants live in extreme poverty and slavery, including the children. Finn and Roses interactions with those inhabitants is a major factor here. they show the willingness to fight for freedom. At the end we see the children telling their story and then a single child use the force to grab the broom, he has the rebellion ring. The seeds of rebellion are planted. So Finn and Rose are that spark that will light the fire that will burn the first order down.

There are so many little details that are easily missed on a single viewing. I’ll write a proper review once i have seen it again. So far i liked it.

Very much agree.

I think a few people may have missed that the boy at the end used the Force to call the broom to him, and that it is the events at Canto Bight - as well as other places that the Resistance have been - that will likely inspire others (the light that sparks the fire) to fight the good fight.

That’s not to say I thought the Canto Bight scenes felt a little ‘off’ amongst the cutting between other events - but thought the scenes on the whole there were fine. (I think the CGI was a little off in certain shots but look forward to watching it again to see).

Am definitely going to need a few more viewings to take everything in - damn you Disney taking my money this way by making an interesting and layered Star Wars film (insert a Fry ‘take my money’ style pic here) that I want to go back and see again…

😃

Tomo, I hope you don’t mind, mate - I’ve edited the thread title just a little to give a bit more of a heads-up as to there being spoilers inside this thread.

 

Good luck with it - I’ve just got back from seeing it for the first time - and have a feeling there may be some varied and differing takes / approaches to fan edits of The Last Jedi…

(I did enjoy TLJ - a lot, though I think this film may require a few viewings to take everything in)

 

I could see a few trims to humour, and a few scenes where the CGI didn’t quite work / sit right (though a 2nd viewing is very likely required).

As stated in the other TLJ Spoiler thread… it’ll be interesting to see what deleted scenes we’ll end up getting (and IF those deleted scenes will be in an initial TLJ home release…)

Looks like I will be busy with Time Code removal requests lol

😃

Hopefully it won’t be an issue this time around - and they’ll be ‘polished’ and ready ‘out of the box’, so to speak.

Hi Nordo,

This site has no connection with how people obtain the Despecialized Editions - or any other Preservation or Fan Edit etc - for that matter.

However, you may get an answer - or some help - if you were to ask your question in this thread, here:-

This section of the site is for more for reporting bugs and issues with the software of the site itself.

Good luck with it - and welcome to the site 😃

I said a while ago that the Blu_ray/ DVD versions won’t be available until mid next year at the earliest

Thanks, I obviously completely missed that!

Why waiting that long by the way ? I understand that making a full bluray with menu and features takes time, but if the fanedit already exists in high quality I fail to understand why a mkv of the ucompressed version of the edit is postoned to next summer.

The mkv is already out there. I’m not sure what you are referring to here

I think he’s requesting a second MKV be released that matches the bit rate you plan to use on the Bluray.

Otherwise, he’s requesting what we’re all secretly craving, a lossless 10-bit x265 encoded mkv that is an exact representation of what’s on your computer as a finished project, complete with the audio in LPCM. Then everyone can customize/reencode the file on their computer on their own time to fit their target device or media.

I think he is a she, and if you think I’m gonna complete that ROTS quote,

Actually, it’s an AOTC quote.

Exactly.

I’m pretty sure this is the moment for that signal Obi-Wan does stroking his mustache.

An example of actual decent comedy in the prequels.

And of course that’s the one they cut.

I thought the comedy in that scene was terrible, but much like 99% of the attempted comedy in the prequels

Can we please not bring the Prequels up again just to criticize them for the billionth time?

Adywan is simply giving his opinion on a scene, and comparing it to others similar from the Prequels - whether that is positive or negative - is neither here or there.

This is Adywan’s thread, and if a subject comes up of interest that he wishes to reply to, or give his opinion to - he is welcome to do so.

Yep, I think I might have read a major spoiler in the comments of a comedy video about avoiding TLJ spoilers.

People suck.

People have been putting up spoilers for TLJ that aren’t even real mate.

I hope this is the case for many of you that have been spoiled.
