Well, the General SW thread does seem under attack right now - probably from the right-wing Nazi-loving sex-bot from Microsoft on the rampage again, though it could just be some Trump fans 😉

A wiser man than many once said (before being later played by Jai Courtney) “Listen, and understand. That thing is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead (in the brain, soul and spirit)”.

Bleep bloops aside, hasn’t it already been determined that the end credits have been extended by a couple minutes for the home release?

Several minutes? How and why would that have happened?

It’s been talked about in the TFA Official Review thread in the General Discussions thread, here mate -

Just a thought: is it the first time that a digital release (dvd, bluray, etc.) of a SW movie (I don’t count Clone Wars) is going to be the true theatrical version ? No line modified ? No sfx changed ? No wipe redone ? Nothing, no alterations, even minor ones ? This is history !

There aren’t any alterations of the kind you mention, but the end credits are apparently longer by about 3 minutes, compared to the theatrical version. The movie is now 138 minutes long.

There is a sound that seems to come from BB-8 in the scene Ryan-SWI noted (from a different cam version). To me it sounds like a squeak from BB-8, or possibly a mistake with the sound of a TIE Fighter blaster shot that occurs a second or two later? - but there is definitely a noise there that’s not present in the other cam version and early bluray rip from last week.

Should be interesting when we all get our hands on the official release bluray/dvd/digital downloads…

I can’t hear any beep noises from BB-8 in the scene you describe mate - on the cam version or the bluray (31m, 48s). That’s not to say they are not there - but just I can’t hear any…

BB-8 does however makes beep noises in the scene you describe on the official teaser trailer, here:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erLk59H86ww (about 28 seconds in)

It’s definitely there. I’m not going to go ahead and post clips before the official release of the film, but I’ll make a short clip a week from now comparing the two.

Cool - the only thing I’m hearing in the scene where BB-8 rolls up to the Falcon is the sound of the TIE-Fighter flying overhead and then an impact blast sound, along with the orchestra chase tune throughout the scene.

There could well be some audio differences - I’m off to book in an ear test 😉

If it helps anyone, the end credits of TFA run from 2h 07m 07s - the end credits then finish and are followed by the Bad Robot logo and finally the Lucasfilm logo - which then ends and the screen fades to black on 2h 18m 05s.

So 10 mins and 58 seconds of end credits in total.

Well in - and many thanks to the very talented ADigitalMan 👍

I may also be able to provide links to these ADM Edits - send me a PM if you want them (please do NOT request them from me in this thread, and no ‘hit and run / newbie’ members just asking for links to projects on here - thanks).

If anyone has a copy of the ADigitalMan Edit of Episode IV (NOT the ADM/Darth Editous Hybrid version)… they would like to share, or make available, please let me know - thank you.

2022 Edit: Myspleen now has the DVD copies of all of the ADigitalMan Edits uploaded - (around 3-4gb each in size) - so if you have access, or know someone who does, then it will be worth checking on there, too.

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, “I am on my way to attend a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking, and staying out late.”

The officer then asks, “Really? And just who is giving that lecture at this time of night?”

The old man replies, “That would be my wife”.

A decent fan-made trailer for Episode VIII:-

Superb covers those Arrow ‘White Box’ BluRay Reversible Covers - nice one 😃

VLC Media Player (a free media player that plays many different formats of media files) will also play .iso files.

Freemake Video Converter is a good simple to use (and free) media converter to get started with - I use it to copy and convert the larger .mkv files to smaller .mp4 files (so something like Harmy’s ROTJ 20gb .mkv file becomes a 3gb .mp4 file.

As other people have said there are other software out there too like Ripbot264, Handbrake, Vidcoder, MeGui, etc…

Your best option is Usenet. The newsgroup is a.b.starwars and the password is negative1
Your download speed will be full strength unlike the slowness of a torrent. I had a solid 23mps and got it in a few hours. The restoration is remarkable and it was so hypnotic to watch something unaltered by Lucas’ psycho additions. This group is without a doubt, Extraordinary.

well, that escalated quickly…

sorry.

Quickly enough that their website is down. What did it say besides the headline?

It’s back up now mate, it says:-

"Team Negative1 has disbanded

19. February 2016 23:25 by Team Negative One | 0 Comments

Effective immediately, there is no more Team Negative1.
We will finish up whatever we can, and people will continue working on projects,
when they can. But there will be no more new releases under that name.

Individual people like Harmy, Dre and others will contribute, but that will be it.

Thanks for all the comments, and attention.

We hope you have enjoyed our projects, and look forward to others continuing their projects.

Team Negative1"

Trifon Ivanov died last week - probably remembered by most for being part of the Bulgaria side at the '94 World Cup - they had a top team back then with Stoichkov, Letchkov, Balakov, Kostadinov, and Mihaijlov in goal.

RIP you werewolf warrior - and top player too 😃

Just thought I’d share these covers I created. I guess they’re minimalist-ish, made for v2.0/2.5 of the DE 12mm BLURAY ONLY.

Inspired by artwork by Matt Ferguson. I made insert variants of this artwork a while back: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Inside-Covers-and-Inserts/id/47624.

Beautiful covers - love the artwork that came with the Definitive Edition style covers - your cover for Empire Strikes Back for some reason has me yearning to go watch ‘V’ the series with all the lizards and all the 80’s style again 😉

Hi!

Can somebody please tell me what the Running time (in minutes) is for each of the Despecialized Editions is?

Thanks!

A. Council

Star Wars v2.5 runs at 2hr 01m 52s (122 mins)
Empire Strikes Back v2.0 runs at 2hr 6m 28s (127 mins)
Return Of The Jedi v2.5 runs at 2hr 13m 21s (134 mins)

dkeighobadi said:

thank you and good man for posting all the relevant info

No worries mate - I fooled around to try and come up with an insert with all 50 (/51) Chapters on them - but really only works well if it’s done like a folding 2-page insert with 25 Chapters on each page like CrplHicks did earlier in the thread.

Thoughts?

That there is a lot of clickbait out there? 😉

(the article conveniently forgets that when Kylo activates his lightsabre to go through Han that Kylo ‘twists the knife in’ a bit more as it were - he gives it a little more thrust into Han’s body, and then says ‘thank you’).

Just my two penneth.
