Wajas - a few more players would be most welcome. especially in the posiitions you mentioned. Very much looking forward to having Rafa as our manager this season (though I wasn't a GH basher either).

Very much exciting times ahead - even with that new away shirt! lol

Do you post on the forums at redandwhitekop.net or ynwa.tv?

Any luck emailing Rikter yet?

I am surprised that no-one has taken GL to task (legally) over his various version and edits of Star Wars. Maybe his expensive lawyers have covered his ass - but I'm surprised no-one has tried for refunds, free copy of the latest version or compensation for being misled etc...

That is certainly an interesting read - very similar to other Ep3 stories floating around, tho that's one of the better ones I've come across.

I only hope if it is to be something similar the screenplay and the way it is edited does it credit.

Thanks for posting a link to it Obi-Wonton.

I came across a thread on the official SW BBS that Hyperspace Users could watch a previously unseen AOTC deleted scene - featuring an attack on a control ship by some of the minor Jedi characters, which also had a ground level shot of the dead Jedi in the battle arena.

Various posters said it ranged from great to poor, though I'd love to see it myself - I won't be paying just to see that scene.

G'day Wajas - always good to met other LFC fans.

Are you full of hope, despair or somewhere in-between for the new season? It has certainly been an interesting Summer for us Liverpool fans...

Re - the MagnoliaFan Edits on DVDr - email or PM 'Rikter' (bloke who posted just before you in this thread) and he'll sort you out. It usually takes around 4 days from despatch in the USA to reach our doorsteps - which is pretty good going.

Check out the 1st post in this thread to check out all the SW stuff available...

I was fortunate to receive the CD featuring his Rikter’s Jedi Beat Machine mixes a couple of weeks ago.

Word to the Spookies!

05 - The Dual Of The Fates: is one kick-ass full-on tune with voice samples of Yoda and Obi Wan throughout, has some great piano work and a beat unsurpassed.

06 - Darkside: a more melodic piano-based tune with samples of Yoda, Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Darth Maul and Vader.

07 - DeathStar Decyphered: a powerful beat-laden tune with dialogue and sound effects of the briefing session to Rebel pilots on their plan to destroy the Death Star and later on with Tarkin boasting of the power of the Death Star all the way to Rebel’s dogfight. Close your eyes and you imagine you’re there…

08 - Imperial Attack: dance tune with great SW theme undercurrent gradually growing throughout. Then breaks into an Imperial March laden tune. Yoda and weird backwards Obi Wan dialogue feature…

09 - Dual Of The Skywalkers: almost like a laid-back Italian house track of the 90’s - features the samples of the Luker-Vader duels.

10 - Force Commander Leviathon: chillout Imperial March tune with fine backbeat and grungy guitars. Han Solo, Vader & Tarkin samples feature.

11 - DarkSide Of The HyperSphere: a more gentle, and yet simple beat-laden track. Maul, Vader and Yoda and some weird bloke who sounds familiar - though I don’t know where from… feature.

12 - Jedi Beat Machine: a ‘Best Of’ remix version of the above tracks. Well worth a listen.

^ There is also a CD Cover and DiscArt for his Rikter’s Jedi Beat Machine!

Also on the disc is Rikter’s collection of Star Wars goodies & oddities:-

The 2nd part of the disc features DiscArt, DVD Covers and Inserts - there is probably just too much stuff to choose from - I found that once I’d made a choice on what DVD covers I liked the most, 5 mins later I’d changed my mind to another set - the selection is SO vast it is untrue. ALL the covers are high quality and come in large jpeg format.

Different versions of the same covers give a near ultimate catalogue of artwork to select from - nearly all the pieces have an option of the anamorphic or letterbox (TR47) versions. There are also covers for the Special Editions, ‘Five Star’ versions, Cerbero’s great cover work and that of Rikter himself too, as well as various others too.

Rikter also has his ‘Classic Poster Inspired’ sets, ‘Complete Trilogy Multi-Covers’, the excellent ‘Faces’ (inspired by the Laserdisc set), covers for The Phantom Edits, as well as other rarities I’ve never even heard of - let alone seen.

Not only are the OT covers here, but those of the Holiday Specials, the Clone Wars series, the two Ewok films, the ‘Troops’ spoof, the ‘Making of Star Wars’, ‘The Story Of Star Wars’, ‘Making Of A Trilogy’ and the Star Wars Extras - ‘Making Of’ also feature.

For the ‘Special Edition’ fans there are also a selection of various covers to choose from.

For those people like me concerned about the amount of colour ink they have remaining in their printers, this cd features MANY differing versions of the Japanese inspired artwork (white ‘Ink Saver Edition’) covers.

Also here are Star Wars fonts, posters and ‘components’ - enough info to start work on your own covers - should you feel the urge to contribute a set of your own…

Scripts of the films in various stages of development and drafts are included too - they make for a very interesting read and it’s intriguing to see the different stages of development and choices made to make it to the final drafts.

The opening crawls to the OT are here too… as well as a ‘lost scenes’ folder (haven’t yet looked at).

The only ‘blemish’ on the CD is that there is little in the way of DVD labels for the discs themselves - though apparently there doesn’t seem to be much of a calling for such work. IIRC only Lars4MF (in my very short time here) has provided the ot.com with DVD labels (for Eps 4, 5, 6 and the Bonus Materials) - and though his work is of a very high standard, look great and are in keeping with the OT Definitive Collection it is only one set - so there isn’t much in the way of a choice - at the moment…

This was just pure quality 😄

If you look in this thread:-

http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=2&threadid=801&STARTPAGE=1

on the 1st post of the 1st page scroll down and look for thse two releases...

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy - The TR47 Version (Letterbox)

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy - The Anamorphic Widescreen Version

there may be enough info for you to decide which version you want.

Hope it helps.

By reading through your site I take it you don't like TPM and AOTC much?

Maybe your site could do with more in-depth reasons as to why your dislike of Eps 1 & 2 - whether it be the pacing, editing, the look of the film, acting, content etc - and maybe even what you did like or enjoy about them too (if any).

I have to say that I too was disappointed with the results I saw at the cinema - not so much with the story (which could have been done a lot better), but by the general look and editing of the film.

For me some of the actors do not deliver decent quality scenes when they have no or little sets to act in - the CGI world of Lucas has taken away something of world they are acting in - and their ability too...

The editing of the film left it almost detached of being an SW film - some of the characters were the same, but it felt that they were in a different franchise. The MagnoliaFan and Phantom Edits, to me, are both works that show how badly the pacing the editing of Lucas' version of TPM and AOTC were. Though you may not like the story of Eps 1 & 2 I hope you find the MF and PE version more in keeping with the OT.

If you havn't seen them, give them a go and seek them out and let us know what you think.

Dpends on what you mean by UltimateEdition:-

the Sept 21st Offical dvd release

a possible 30th Anniversary Edition due in 2007

a 6 disc-set due sometime after Lucas has finished collecting money off the singular Ep3 dvd sales

Or mabye do a Lord Of The Rings and after the 'Cinematic Edtion' set release an Extended Edition set?

I'm sure he has other ideas on releasing his stuff too... maybe a BlueRay DVD release where we start all over again...

MagnoliaFan - I have to ask - how long did it take you to edit Ep1 until it became your version?

I have no idea about how you managed to pull it so well - there's a lot of editing on there, though all very well done IMHO. I can only imagine it must have been a long and frustrating process?

Was editing Ep2 any easier? (there seems to be less editing compared to Ep1 - though I'm only going from memory as I don't own an official DVD of it...)
