Again, I apologize to ray_afraid. I still disagree with him, but I went too far in saying he was acting like a nazi. I’m sorry.
 

In fact, for the purpose of clarity, Ray was not acting like a Nazi at all - nor anywhere near remotely approaching so…

Ray hasn’t rounded up the disabled - both physically and mentally, civilian men, women, children, babies, the elderly and infirm, political opponents, people of a different colour, people of a different ethnic background, people of a different religion or beliefs… - and then incarcerated them, put them in concentration camps, executed them, tortured them, experimented on them, sterilised them, gassed them, starved them, used them as slaves, raped them, stripped them of their not only their possessions but their humanity, ordered them to dig their own graves, or violated the Geneva Convention - amongst many other atrocities carried out by the Nazis before World War 2, during the war, and since then.

Nazis, whose actions resulted in the deaths of circa 60 million people - and affected millions more through injury, misery and fear. Nazis who would have likely wiped many more ‘non-Ayrian types’ from the much of the world map had they triumphed 70 odd years ago - through some of the most horrific methods in human history. Nazis who would likely still want to kill, maim or injure many people for just being ‘different’ to them and their narrow-minded, intolerant and sick views - IF they could get away with it.
 

Personally, I am full of admiration and respect for Ray in keeping calm and simply walking away from the discussion with the man who said '…you’re just acting like a Nazi. There, I said it.’, and then later accepting your… apology.
 

I find it also strange - baffling in fact, that Nazis are being mentioned in the same breath for comparisons with BLM, MLK, & the NAACP - groups that are trying to highlight injustice, and ask for more social equality. Again, they are nothing like the Nazis.
 

So, in summing up… Well done, Warbler - in an effort to win a discussion on the internet you told someone they were acting like a Nazi.

And then - after initially refusing to apologise - eventually apologising by stating ‘I apologize for saying you were acting like a Nazi. I still think you were wrong, but that went too far. I’m Sorry.’.

Also, the ‘I still think you were wrong’ in your apology - get a dig in along with the apology, eh.

An apology nothing like, this more befitting, example… ‘Ray - I was bang out of order and deeply regret my words for the offence they very likely caused you. It is one of the lowest things anyone could ever say to another person - and for that I am truly sorry. I am disgusted with myself. Please accept my heartfelt apologies - though I fully understand should you choose not to.’
 

Consider this a warning Warbler - as well as to anyone else - if you call someone a Nazi on here, or tell someone they are acting like a Nazi on here again (as Warbler did to Ray), or any other comment using the word ‘Nazi’ as an insult, slur or derogatory term to a fellow member - you will be banned.
 

I noticed your post stating ‘I will no longer be discussing this subject’ - that’s probably a very good idea, I strongly suggest you adhere to that.

 

If anyone has any issues with this feel free to PM me.

1990 Boxed Set Scans

tommyauck did a great blu ray & dvd set based on the 1990 VHS set - and he may well have his original 1990 VHS box set still.

It may be worth sending him a PM to see if he can help you?

No.

Neither of you are taking this further in here - or any other thread than those designed to talk about the quality of various Star Wars films.

DuracellEnergizer - pack it in with the goading / baiting.

MalaStrana - pack it in feeding him.

Box/sleeve help if possible (using existing art from Criterion-like box set for njvc's custom blu-ray set)

I have a detailed box set tutorial that I have been putting together for a long time now. I just haven’t posted it because it’s not 100% complete. However, your post has inspired me to work on it again. Maybe by the end of the week I can have it ready to post.

I will say this, it does take lots of measuring and re-measuring. I have even held up my artwork to the box to double check the alignment.

I would also suggest using something heavier than cardstock. I use matte board from a art store; it’s heavy and durable and looks great when completed.

I’d love to see that too mate - I have a feeling it would be a welcome resource for many of us failed/failing box set makers 😃

Nice artwork mate 😃

 


 

HMV in the UK are doing Rogue One on blu ray for £9.99 - with a new / different sleeve cover than before:-

Well done indeed. Having seen it many times, I thought I’d caught most of the deeper symbolisms. However, one that seems to have gone right over my head is when Chirrut yells to Jyn “The strongest starts have hearts of Kyber”. It hadn’t occurred to me that he was speaking about her as well as to her. I like the idea that he’s attempting to enlighten her with the knowledge of her own inner strength.

I miss many symbolisms in films - I did get a few of the Rogue One’s though - but a decent video like that always helps (me anyway 😃) I also find it adds that little extra to the characters too upon later viewings.
 

I’ll give that Storytellers video channel a watch - seems they’ve been around a while and have covered quite a range of films and tv. I found their Terminator video to be decent and quite insightful too.

OK, I got my graphics issues with phildesfr’s templates worked out, and finished my set for all 3 movies. These, like phildesfr’s, are for standard Blu-ray cases. I also made a tweak in the inserts I linked earlier, both the cases and the updated inserts are available at this link:

https://mega.nz/#F!ac42iZDK!J8GqOJcy8iWvltcnu0Yg8Q

Thanks to phildesfr, he did most of the work, I just tweaked them for this set. If anyone sees any errors, let me know and I’ll try to correct them.

I know I’m late to the party as I only recently got to check these out.
I noticed a small error on Stardork’s cover art. I tried to contact him, but haven’t heard a response.
On the Star Wars case art, it says “1997 70mm Six Track Mix” should be 1977.

Anyone have a way to contact Stardork or have a way to correct this in high res?
Trying now to find a place to print disc art, no luck so far in my area.

Here you mate (my very quick ms paint fix):-

or https://imgur.com/x5Ntu7D

I’ve no idea on how how to contact Stardork if he is not answering his PM’s - hopefully he’ll be around soon - it’s a quality set he came up with.

All the best of luck in finding a local printers for your discart too - an independent printer company or store may have the facility to do it 😃

Rogue One: The Birth of Hope’…

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpSb8Y_8hr8 - an 11 minute video at the Storytellers youtube channel

The blurb: ‘This video essay examines how ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ symbolically bridges the tonal divide between ‘Revenge of the Sith’, and A New Hope. In doing so, I uncover the underlying archetypal ascension tale that drives the story towards the original saga.’
 

^ Thought it quite interesting and well worth a watch; some good insights and intriguing interpretations too.

A Star Wars USB Drive - <em>Box, Case, Tape, Tin, Frame, Figure &amp; Cover</em> Thread...

^ Cool project that mate - good luck with it 😃

 

I haven’t had much time to do any work on the video tapes as yet - but did pick up some hinges for the vhs tapes from a hardware store today, so hope to start something quite soon…
 

In the meanwhile, I did find these cool videos - which may be of interest for anyone with a spare SNES cart, and wants to convert one into an external USB hard drive:-

PAL carts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ackV3KfYNts (2.5" laptop drive)

US carts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttYmX-1I8RU (SSD)
 

or if you have the skills (and tools) then make your own stylish custom wooden box for a USB external hard drive - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtLkOcaUYb4
 

or buy a cheap transparent hard drive enclosure, like this one below:-

and then put your own custom cover in it to suit your own taste/preference 😃

Don’t sneak around like this. What is the point? It doesn’t reflect well on you - and life & time are far too short for childish antics like this.

Though don’t twist my words or selectively omit them (and then try and insert your own agenda) like you have done previously, either.

If you have something to say, then just say it - either out front - or feel free to PM me.

 

One of the other mods have locked this thread.

I’ll leave the last post in here with the best sigh I thought appeared in here:-

Star Wars: The Last Jedi | Training Featurette

Man that looks exciting.

DOES NOT!

Perhaps it would be an idea to give your views on the training featurette - or why you found it not to be exciting etc? Instead of just a ‘DOES NOT!’…

Don’t hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning.

😃

Indeed, why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Please do not respond with the ‘Crap!’ line from the film.
 

Seriously, I suggest you expand on some of your posts on subjects like this, instead of just posting ‘DOES NOT!’

It is time to stop with the ‘sigh’ only reply. We appreciate it is your custom thing - and you can still doing your signature ‘sigh’ - yet with an added explanation / reason / opinion etc as to why underneath.

It will likely help fellow members understand as to what you are pertaining to - without having to ask what you mean and then wait for a later explanation - or help avoid any potential misunderstandings in between.

Others have been asked to stop with the ‘hahahaha’ type posts of late for the above reasons - and also in a bid to help with the flow and quality of conversations - the same applies to everyone, including yourself.

Jeez… Egyptian was such a pain to unlock back in the day

I found a good start re the yellow guards down the 1st tunnel was key - and a lot of patience with the guards in the next room with the closing door. Then it was those pesky automated machine guns, getting up close with Jaws so he couldn’t shoot his M16s at you, and finally a little luck (half of everything is luck…) getting up the ladder at the end without being shot.

Happy days 😃
