^ Nice 😃

I’ll have to give both of these a re-watch - it has been far too long…

Dammit…

Never heard of you. Go on, bugger off!

I’ve been listening to a fair few of these - very nicely done, old friend - most impressive. Congrats on getting to interview and chat with some pretty distinguished (or just cool and intriguing) people in the film business 👍
 

Also loved the ‘Robert Watts – A Life In Film’ short documentary up on your filmumentaries.com website - if anyone hasn’t yet seen it, it is very much worth a watch.

As well as other quality shorts and videos on there too…
 

Hope you are well - stay safe mate. Best of luck with the Filmumentaries Podcast too!

If the pilots aren’t nice in any film I will more than likely dislike that movie! Airplane rules!

Have a look around the many Rogue One threads & recently in the ‘Unpopular Opinion’ thread on here… and you’ll find there are a number of others that also dislike Rogue One - though they have probably explained what it is that they disliked about it… 😉

Hiya, this sounds amazing! Can I get a link to this please?

didn´t read what bobson and jaison said?incredible…

Unfortunately it is not just in this thread either.

Project threads are becoming filled with countless such requests - disrupting the flow of discussion about the project themselves, further ideas, and feedback etc occurring in these threads.

Many members pop in to a large number of these quality threads - upon seeing a project thread has been bumped - thinking there may be some new additions to the work, or a new alternative take, maybe that it has inspired someone else to do something similar, or perhaps news of a new version. Perhaps continuing a chat about the techniques and software used, read a new review or feedback, other members’ ideas and suggestions - or just a good conversation on the topic at hand etc… Alas, no… it is yet another ‘can I have a link?’ request post…

…despite being asked not to make such requests by the project creator.

(though it is perfectly okay for those project creators who ask for such requests to be made in their threads).

It seems some people cannot be bothered to read through a project thread anymore to read up on how to obtain it…
 

Or this… I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it?

^ from the ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com thread in the General Assistance section - as well as being linked to in many places around the OT•com.
 

Hi WampaStompa99, you may have more chance of receiving a reply if you were to ask the question in towne32’s thread on Despecialized, or in the How-To’s and Technical Discussions section of the site.

Good luck with it 👍
 

You’re gonna need a bigger shelf! 😉
 

There have been many differing releases of Star Wars films over the years - some of which can be found here (copied & pasted from another thread)…

For information on the various home releases of Star Wars over the years, these may be of some interest:-

• Video Collector’s superb & informative ‘Star Wars on Video’ resource website (with images and info)

• projectcclarke’s quality & insightful ‘Star Wars On Home Video Reference Site’ (with images and info)

• DavisDVD•com’s Information Pages on OT VHS & DVD releases (from 1982 to 2004) - SW : ESB : ROTJ : Misc

• Nathan P Butler’s youtube channel is also a great resource for near-on all of the Star Wars releases over time (and more!)
 

^ As you can see… there are Super 8, CED, VHD, PVD, Video tapes (VHS, Betamax, V2000), laserdiscs, VCD, DVD, blu ray, 3D blu ray, steelbooks, 4K UHD - with some formats having had multiple releases.
 

And then you get into the Holiday Special, the OT Radio Dramas, the two theatrical Ewok films, the two Droids and Ewoks animated series, 2003 Clone Wars, 2008’s The Clone Wars theatrical film, the 2008 The Clone Wars series, Rebels, Resistance, the Prequel Trilogy, the Sequel Trilogy, Rogue One, Solo, the various ‘Lego: Star Wars’ releases, and then… if any of the new Disney+ series and films get an eventual official physical release too.

Or even the very unlikely - yet still possible - future physical releases for the likes of Star Wars content such as Detours, Force Of Destiny, Galaxy Of Adventures, Roll Out and even maybe the Lego Star Wars: Holiday Special.

And probably some other Star Wars releases I’ve forgotten to mention in here too!
 

Good luck with what you decide to add to your collection 👍
 

The Show off your Star Wars Collection (This is the place… let’s see it already) thread in the Toys & Memorabilia (and Collecting) section may be of some interest and help to you.

Personally, it may be an idea starting off with releases that mean something to you personally - or that you like the look of the artwork etc - and going from there. Many of these releases can be sourced quite cheaply; with a fair bit of patience (and good fortune). Though some releases are harder to find and can cost a little more to acquire…
 

Hi Pakka - try refreshing the page mate, or clearing your browser cache.

Let us know if the above works or not - thank you. 👍
 

^ Everyone in here saw your post the first time mate, and is aware of your ‘Release the TCW OST tracks’ thread - there is no need to quote yourself again, as has been explained to you previously.

If you wish to talk about getting the TCW tracks released… then your own thread on that subject is probably a more suited place for the discussion too (and good luck with it).

Thank you. 👍

Can you PM me?

You are joking, yes?

If not, I suggest you read the post above yours - from Bobson himself - politely asking members to simply send him a PM if they are interested in acquiring his Edit (and NOT post requests in this thread)… along with the reason why.

Some more of his impressive art work for Star Wars is on there too 😃
 

Thank you for the correction Pakka - it is very much appreciated. I’ve amended my mistake (and also gave you a mention for providing the correct info) 👍
 

It has been a long while since I’ve read those - will have to try and make some time and do so again.

Regarding #7, of course back when the original trilogy was being made it was about Luke and he was the main character. George has never denied that. He even admitted in one of the ROTS featurettes that Vader was originally just going to be a pathetic henchmen, but because he became so iconic he eventually grew to be the amazing complex character we have today that is now the most well-developed in all of Star Wars. After George made the prequels it become the story of Anakin/Vader as the prequels focused on him and he was a prominent figure in the original trilogy, his character journey being concluded in those three movies (which by the way, just shows how good the original trilogy is; it satisfyingly concludes a character journey created 20 years later). You can’t say the entire saga is about Luke when he’s only present in 4/6 movies, and he’s a very very very minor part at the very end of one of those four, so really only half of the saga.

^ “but because he became so iconic he eventually grew to be the amazing complex character” - indeed, with the focus on ‘became’…

The quote in Category 7, from George Lucas himself, states:-

“It’s really a story about Darth Vader. Luke and Leia became central figures and had a strong impact. But I knew if I gave Darth Vader his due, you would understand what a tragic story the whole thing was and it would change the way you look at the other movies. So that’s why I did it.”

^ More retcons from George there (amongst others from that same interview). Luke didn’t ‘become’ a central figure - he already was the central figure. To say nothing of George’s attempt at also downplaying the importance of Luke as he ‘had a strong impact’ in that quote. There is also an inference from George words that Vader’s story and prominence to Star Wars was planned all along - which we know is not the case.

Some examples of the above are given in Category 7 - where various Star Wars releases from the saga (or franchise) were subtitled ‘From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker’ to give them a SW identity / link that they were part of the ‘Star Wars’ saga or universe - even when having little-to-nothing to do with erm… Luke Skywalker himself.

Edit: Category 49 - ‘The removal of official Star Wars releases from ‘Canon’ - no longer widely acknowledged / referenced - or available on a modern digital format…’ has now been completed.

I’ll try and motivate myself to start work on Categories 24, 25, & 26 soon too… though any ideas, suggestions, or contributions are most welcome (as ever 😃).
 

^ Seriously nice choices and additions to the collection, CarboniteSolo 👍
