Absolutely unbelievable new clip! As if I weren't looking forward to ESB:R before, I'm now completely psyched! Very good work, all around.

Finished.

The Source was a franchise killer. The movie was actually so bad that it cut off Highlander's head, consumed its Quickening, and then lost its own head in some freak trainwreck/disaster. There is almost nothing to be salvaged from this movie, and I was in pain the entire time I was watching it.

Just my opinion :).

Awesome!

I loved this Temple of Doom soundtrack. It has excerpts I've NEVER heard on the official soundtrack or any other fan made edition! How did you manage this? Did you isolate a music stream on one of the DVDs?

Keep up the good work!

Hi, fishmanlee!

I haven't had a chance to listen to all the Last Crusade tracks yet, but I'm through the second Act now, and it's all great! Thanks for putting this together, and I look forward to more.

--Sammy

Stay on target...stay on target!

I'm already pre-emptively hiding from this, but are any of these changes really THAT bad?

This has probably been addressed before, but here's, briefly, what I think. The "NOOOOO!" actually changes the entire tone of the scene. Originally, that climactic scene masterfully displays the inner "conflict" lurking in Vader's head. That's why this scene was my favorite when I was a child. That's why it has remained my favorite throughout the years. No words are necessary. Vader makes a decision, reacts, and saves his son. Period.

The new version destroys all of this for me. Maybe I'm sentimental; maybe I'm intolerant of change. But this is just how I feel. That's it, and that's all.

As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror ... but we won't be silenced.

Thanks for the laugh, though :)

 Nice try.

I'm not trying to make a point to George Lucas. I want out. I'm done. You can't reason with that man.

My preorder is cancelled. George Lucas has failed me for the last time.

I refuse to believe that "No!!!" Something that horrible cannot possibly happen. It's somebody having fun with us all. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.

Hi, Harmy,

And hello to everyone else, too. I just thought I'd add my 2 cents to the praise going around about this release. I just got finished watching Ep. IV, and I have to say that it was spectacular! Thanks so much for the work you do, Harmy.

May the Force be with you,

I've been looking for some of the Angysvn Editions for years (namely the Blade Runner releases) but have been unsuccessful. I'd particularly like to find the BLAX20: Blade Runner: The International Cut - Criterion Laserdisc version. Maybe we'll both be lucky someday.

"Wait a minute. How did this happen? We're smarter than this!"

"This is such a drag."

--C-3PO

I agree! Top notch work on all the covers. I'm always amazed to see these things come together.

--Sammy

Sweet! Thanks!

Are these links still up? Is it possible to get a pm? I'd really appreciate it.

Wow, I've been out of the loop for a long time. All of these projects sound great, and I'm looking forward to checking them out!

One thing that always bugged me about ESB. Growing up in school long before I saw ESB or even knew which movie it happens in, I often heard the line "Luke I am your father." It is probably the most quoted line in movie history. It's probably the most misquoted line in movie history too. The first time I saw ESB I was expecting Darth Vader to say it like that but instead he says "No, IIIII am your father." Adywan, could you insert the word "Luke" in his line right after he says "No"? So instead he says, "No Luke, I am your father."

I suppose asking people to learn how to quote the movie correctly is out of the question.

Link updated! :-)

Any recommendations on a more permanent hosting option (other than simply springing for a premium account)?

Hi, Jonno,

Thanks for the updated link. As far as more permanent hosting options, I'm not really sure. This one did the trick, though, for the time being :)

Thanks again, and great work.

Well, here's the retro VHS-style Empire cover that never was:

As before, best in a white amaray:

If you like it, get it here.

Big thanks to Sluggo for the font support!

Hey, Jonno,

I love this cover! However, the link to download it seems to have expired or reached its limit. Could you upload it again, perhaps?

Thanks,

Sammy
