No, it's a quote from North Norfolk's premier Digital disc Jockey, Alan Partridge.

Ah, ok. Thought it was strange that you put your own words in quotes and that anybody could out-do Williams at Williams own game!

Ryan McAvoy said:

He also said that...

"Wings were the band The Beatles could have been"

I'm not a big Beatles fan, but that's a ridiculous thing to say! Almost like saying "Electronic were the group The Smiths could have been"!

Edit: It's not fixed in the clip on the ESB:R Facebook page. Plus R2 is also on the wrong side of the doorway so shot flips are needed at the least on the two shots of him releasing the smoke.

But if the shot is simply flipped, R2 will be all backwards, right? I'd rather R2 suddenly be on the other side of the door than suddenly turn into 2D-2R.

Seems like this was brought up and discussed long ago, but I don't remember what Ady was planning to do about it...

Anyway when CSP0 get's blasted by a storm trooper off screen...

I wonder if the original or special edition dialogue will be used... But the main point i wanted to raise was it actually does not sound like a storm trooper...

...but if it were to sound like the stormtrooper radio helmet would this be an improvement for continuity or ruin ambiguity...

How does it not sound like a Stormtrooper? Couldn't he just have his helmet off?

Are Muslims really trying to take over, or are some people just suffering from Islamaphobia?

Harumph! Hey look just because I'm not entirely pro immigration and aren't exactly enamoured with the extreme side of Muslim society here in London, doesn't make me akin to some dungaree wearing, inbred, dumb hillbilly from the southern backwoods of America. Don't label me in that way.

Fair enough. But if you would both be so kind as to keep the quacking to a minimum... ;)

The problem with it being the "sharks fin" is that it doesn't look any different than what we're used to seeing, so we assume it's the thing we already know. It isn't dwarfing anything in that shot letting us know it's something bigger and badder than the SDs we're familiar with. It isn't until the shadow is cast over the SDs that the audience thinks "Whoa! What's this gonna be?"

Also, as Niflamol pointed out already, it seems to be going the wrong direction in the "shark fin" shot as opposed to it's full reveal. The tower is going from the right to the left of the screen, but the SSD is moving from the left to the right. You could argue that we're viewing the tower from the other side in that shot, but that isn't how the language of cinema works.

If only someone would point it out!

Behold, this morning's work!

 

Thanks 005! Just noticed this: "CG Probe Droid now extends its antenna to fix continuity with close up" I love this detail! Not only for the continuity fix, but I like the thought that it was trying to send a info-dump of sorts before self destructing.

I'd like to see Denis Lawson return as Wedge, as an elder Jedi along with Luke.  He didn't get enough credit in SW and ESB.

Why don't we just make everyone Jedi.

lol, that's kinda what I was thinking.. I'd love to see Wedge involved in the story, but I don't have much interest in Jedis.

ESB question
Time

Bingowings said:

Artoo display or at least appear to display a range of emotional responses.

Fear, concern for Luke and even recognition of Obi-Wan and the completion of his mission.

He later shows concern for Threepio.

He has much more of an acting range than even Ewan McGregor in the PT.

Very funny and very true!

(love your new avatar and matching quote by the way!)

I always had it in my head that the 'Who are you?' voice was of either an Imperial officer or a Stormtrooper with his helmet off......maybe eating sandwiches

This all the way! When 3PO says "No, please don't get up.." I can see a trooper standing, dropping his meatball sub and grabbing his blaster.

Yea I will definitely not use "PIF" this has never, ever worked, and I certainly do not trust it to keep going, it never has, been burned on this a lot back in the day so this is why I never even mentioned it and never will lol, to many asshats out there that will not help keep projects like these alive.

Agreed. "PIF" is the perfect name for it. It's the sound you should make when someone suggests using it. ; )

Jedi Rocks is another different matter. I like the song... the song is catchy.

Now, the Blu-ray is fine,

These boxes were not in the original release VHS's, they're not in the SE's, and they're not in the original release DVD's from 2004. If they were in the original version, I could understand that, all the limits of technology could not erase them.

lol...?

Mos Eisley seriously needed more buildings/people to fit its description of a "spaceport".

Why? I guess I see a "Spaceport" being the same thing as a "Truck Stop". Some are of course very large, attract heavy traffic and are usually busy with people coming and going. But a lot of em are small, run-down and not very active.
