‘One day I’ll become…’ (Star Wars fan film)

^ interesting concept and some decent ideas - enjoyed that…
that was great ! thank you for sharing , I got the impression that the kid was witnessing the battle of Jakku at one point . I think this would make a great prologue to TFA and even parallels events in another Star Wars movie but with a twist .
It seems like they are using a lot of concepts from both the Brian Daley and A.C. Crispin novels , I thought the trailers looked pretty good , Alden has big shoes to fill. When he did the voice over about being in the streets since 10 years old , did anyone else think it sounded like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas ? the last bit of dialogue Alden spoke as Han sounded a little too high pitched but other than that , I can’t nitpick too much .I will reserve judgement for when I see the movie . All of this makes me wonder how James Bond fans felt after Sean Connery left and others played the role .
thank you
Stumbled across this. Kinda weird, but less cluttered and more painterly than the original.
I think that is the best TFA poster I have ever seen !
I like that ,I wish Struzan had done the recent theatrical posters
I posted elsewhere on the boards here but this seems like a more appropriate place to show my artwork, I update my gallery on an almost daily basis and hope you enjoy …https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/
that sounds fantastic Neverar !
also updated gallery with a watercolor and ink inspired by Dark Empire , felt appropriate as Dark Empire was originally slated to be a Marvel project …https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Empire-Luke-728765343
and a cool retro blog telling of the Dark Empire / Marvel connection…http://starlogged.blogspot.com/2013/05/1990-star-wars-dark-empire-at-marvel.html
Has anyone read this?

Looks kind interesting
I have read it , I am glad Lucas consulted others and continued with further drafts , it was neat to see one of his original scripts as a comic book though and I enjoyed all of the Ralph Mcquarrie concepts they used . I was wondering what relevance it had to the old Marvel series and then I saw the name of Randy Stradley as the editor and remembered he wrote the original Marvel Star Wars 86 , The Alderran factor ,which was a very good story IMHO and one of the few instances where you see Leia process the loss of her homeworld
I have A Musical Journey on DVD , it came with the Revenge Of The Sith soundtrack cd when I bought it back in 2005 , It is awesome IMHO .
I have a copy of that book but lost my cd as well , fantastic book though and very detailed set photos , I love the two page spread of the exterior of Hoth base on location in Norway
I thought the origin of the Tie Fighter scream had already been clearly established:

That’s adorable !
It says here that the sound was a combination of an elephant recording from 1958 which had been used in several movies, overlaid with car noises.
that is what Benn Burrt says himself in the commentaries as well as many a trade magazine from back in the day like Starlog , Cinefex etc
and it absolutely cracks me up that the Ewoks are voiced by a drunk lady
and not all of the sounds were from stock libraries , on the commentaries to the blu rays and dvds of the OT , Ben Burrt mentions that the sounds of the walkers are recordings he made at a metal stamping plant and that he got a lot of mileage out of a dumpster lid near his home for things like the carbonite slab of Han Solo crashing to the ground as well as an old projector motor and the back of a crt monitor that his microphone picked up for the hum and buzz of the lightsabers
you can read about it’s origin here …https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream
that is a good observation , never thought of it until just now …did the Wilhelm scream show up in the current sequel trilogy anywhere ?
updated my gallery with a recreation / re imagining of the splash page from issue 7 of the original series , this was the first eu tale …https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/
interesting interview with one of the writers of the original series…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVU0Dz9t1kQ
NeverarGreat , you are my new hero ! awesome post pointing out the absurdity of it all !
those were good series , do you feel the series fits into the list of things you listed as your dislikes though ? and if so , why ?
so what do you think of the current Marvel Star Wars line ?
