Ahmed Best , field notes pt 2 …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORTqcuZM_4

Part 3 of ‘Field Notes’ is up now too mate, where he discusses fans, respect, Darth JarJar, The Phantom Edit, and more - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORTqcuZM_4
 

For others interested, Ahmed Best’s ‘Field Notes’ youtube channel can be found here:-

thank you for the heads up , I just finished watching that and it is interesting to hear how he feels about the treatment of his character in fan edits …he does not like his work being erased , but concedes that fan edits like the Phantom Edit are very creative and the people that make fan edits really are invested and care deeply about what they are doing .

‘Kelly Marie Tran: I Won’t Be Marginalized by Online Harassment’… (in her own words)

just saw this …yes , it was well said ! I am proud of you and of Kelly for being brave and standing up for herself and putting herself out there like that .

^ wow , I have never seen that , that alternate dialogue sounds so much better to me and makes Anakin sound a lot less whiney .after watching it a few times , the voice actor for Anakin sounds a lot like the one who played him in the Tartakovsky Clone Wars series from 2003

^ wow , I have never seen that , that alternate dialogue sounds so much better to me and makes Anakin sound a lot less whiney .

not sure if this was posted elsewhere , have not seen it anyway ,seems Carrie Fisher, who was an in demand script doctor on many films ,including the prequels , contributed her skills to The Last Jedi as well…https://www.cbr.com/star-wars-the-last-jedi-carrie-fisher-script-doctor/

The leadership over at Disney says the reason why the franchise is taking a nosedive is because:

1. half the fans are racist and sexist.
2. the other half is just sick of the franchise.

These are clearly brilliant statements with the full weight of truth behind it.

see OP and kindly knock it off please .

I said it before, say it again - Yoda with a lightsabre is like Gandhi with a machine gun

An apter analogy is Superman using a plane to fly.

I gotta agree here . in my opinion , both Yoda and the Emperor should be above the use of them , my go to fan edits cut these scenes out .

Attack of The Ridiculousness just dubs in Daffy Duck sounds as Yoda whirls about.

sweet !!!

I thought you were waiting for the subject to change ?

was thinking about this movie again today and I thought it was a fun popcorn movie and Appreciated that all the monitors were crt displays like in the OT . While not on the level of the Ot . I did enjoy it .The Maul thing did not bother me because I watched all of the Clone Wars but I can see how people who do not follow anything but the movies would be like WTF ? Still . I think it would be a bold , unique and daring move for someone to make a Star Wars film ( or any film for that matter ) exactly the way they made them in the 70s and 80s .

It’s pretty neat , but …where are you taking this …thing ?

Ouch! I liked them. Disney really ought to release a nice boxset with the uncut episodes in their original broadcast format.

Maybe I will give it another watch , I just remember being a little disappointed when they came out , they had a lot of childish antics like r2 break dancing and such , though I did like the backgrounds that had a Moebius/Heavy Metal like quality to them .and they did have a big influence on the Prequels . guess that is down to Ben Burrt writing some of it .

well …it’s gotta be better than the Droids and Ewoks cartoons from the 80s

Huh… nice catch 😃 (I’m off to the opticians)
 

Edit : Seems on the 40th anniversary content on the SWcom site they use the original artwork…

https://www.starwars.com/star-wars-40th

 

just caught your edit , now I am doubly perplexed , they can put the original poster and a revised one on the official site , but no official high quality release of the OT ?

now I am curious as to whether Tom Jung reworked it or someone revised it .also, the Imgur uploader listed Drew Struzan as the artist of episode 7 poster , he did a poster for it as a convention exclusive , but not the official one , though it mimics his style . I will never understand why they did not have him do it and would love to hear more on it .

lol…something just looked off to me about it . the one on the official site looks more like Vader in Empire now , like the scene where he is reaching out to Luke as the Executor is chasing the falcon near the end of the film . His helmet was more of a matte finish in A New Hope , It’s like they are trying to make it glossy like the other OT films

it is there , look at Vader’s eyes and then compare it to Tom Jung poster here…https://imgur.com/gallery/2JqSA even the colors are different.

this is a fascinating topic , I wish it would continue so I could learn more .I remember going to the cinema as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s and seeing film grain and dirt/scratches on a lot of movies .

well , this IS the EXTRA EXTENDED edition after all …just kidding …this sounds like a neat project and I have always wanted to see the deleted scenes incorporated into the film

wow , just noticed that on the section of the site that says ,create a work of art , there is a cropped version of the Tom Jung theatrical poster of 77 Star Wars where they altered the Image of Vader .strange .

agreed , the subject of effort you mention was also mentioned in the first field notes video of Ahmed Best I posted that got glossed over

that could be true , however , I do feel compelled to point out that abuse is not just a physical thing and being wealthy does not mean one is immune to it .

Ahmed Best , field notes pt 2 …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORTqcuZM_4

maybe , he was under no obligation to do so however .Don’t get me wrong , I am all for the OUT being released , I just think it is plausible that his reaction was knee jerk and retaliatory . but that is just speculation , I don’t know the man personally .

George was quoted as saying in 2012 , " Why should I make more when everyone yells at you and says what a terrible person you are ?"…granted , he came back after the Disney merger ,had a meltdown , then came to acceptance and then came back to support all the subsequent productions .I watched Mark Hamill’s ceremony for his star on the walk of fame earlier this year and George Lucas and Harrison Ford attended , an interviewer asked Lucas about Star Wars and he said he had nothing to say . I think he is still going through the stages of grief. He did say it was like a divorce after all . Also . on the subject of Jar Jar , Ahmed best has started doing some field notes on the backlash of his character , seems he feels George could have stuck up for him a bit more …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRD_SfIbwE
