I shall endeavor to be patient.

And I'd be happy to help with the US PIF chain, so sign me up for that.

Exactly... Ben is spinning a tale for Luke's benefit. He's not going to say, "Before I severed your father's legs and left him for dead in the lava pit, he told me he wanted you to... no, actually, now that I think of it your father never said f**k-all about you as far as I can remember. Here, have it anyway." Almost everything Ben tells Luke about his father is fabrication, so there's no reason this line should be any different.

I have more free space and bandwidth on my web server than I could ever possibly use. (Thanks, 1&1!!!) If I could get my hands on all the clips that have been released to date (without going through 114 pages of this thread, hopefully) I'd be happy to host them all up through the release date.

That and other wonderful acronyms are explained right about here. But to save you a little time:

PIF - Pay It Forward. You send out a disc to a person in return for a pledge from that person to send out (usually three) more copies to others, who then in turn each send out 3 more discs, and so on.

Thanks, Mother's sig!!!

I have no problem burning DVD-9, so sign me up for the NTSC PIF chain. If you're taking sign-ups, that is.

Exactly. The camera is tracking the TIE's motion. If the TIE remains center screen as the camera moves, the explosion should do the same. Keep it.

Cool. I wish I had a split-screen for comparison, though. It's hard to tell what's different when everything just looks right! If you had time, I think it would make a great bonus for the DVD to pick a few scenes and run them split-screen, Wookiee Groomer style, to help illustrate some of the more subtle differences.

Thanks for the transcript, Ady, that was a fun read. I was already excited about the project, this just ratcheted it up a few notches.

But please don't say you're going to leave us all hanging re: the new clip you mentioned at the end of the Q&A... we wanna see it too!!!

Oh, and before anyone mentions that the colour has been stripped away from the cockpit then this is intentional.

I think it looks right that way, especially with the trench visible. The Death Star is reflecting a lot of light around the place; things are likely to look slightly washed out. I'd expect to see slightly more saturation on approach, but once near the surface or even in the trench, this looks right.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone when I say you should take as much time as it takes. November would be awesome. But I'd rather wait until February if it means the difference between a product you're happy with and one you had to rush to meet an arbitrary deadline. A few folks might groan, but they won't really mean it.

I think the stars look really good, but I have to agree about the bright yellow. That could come down a bit. And yeah, I hate to say it, but I think the text needs to extend just off the sides of the screen as it scrolls into view.

If I was Adywan I would hate us all by now.

I can assure you the lines are perfectly straight, but feel free to check 'em out in whatever graphics app you happen to have handy. A quick swipe of the rectangular selection tool should do nicely.

This is nitpicking?!? Dude, have you seen the fix list on the first page of this thread? I mean honestly, if one's weighing valid fixes vs. nitpicking, this one hardly seems like the tipping point.

Wow, that's quite a difference. That seems at least as significant as many of the changes on Adywan's original fix list. It'll be interesting to hear from the man on this subject...
