Idea: a complete 'Star Wars Trailers Collection'?
Link

rarer trailers such as droids, and ewoks cartoons should be utilized, as well as the ewok movies, foreign release trailers. The fan edit super trailer, and celebrate the saga trailer shown at C3. As well as THX WOW! trailer, I know it's already out there in too many places but this has some of the coolest edited together footage of star wars ever done.

Star wars trailers have always been interesting to me because they often have deleted scenes, or alternate dialogue and temp tracks for music, or unfinished shots fx, or differently shot angles from what ended up in the films. In fact the only footage ever released of the deleted sandstorm scene in rotj, was in a then titled revenge of the jedi trailer, and luke's saber was blue!

with what a great job you did with a new hope and empire strikes back ocpmovie, you should be thanked not criticized, two thumbs up man.

P.S. I am eagerly awaiting what results you do with return of the jedi since it is my favorite of the original trilogy. There are way too many jedi bashers out there, of course it does'nt come close to empire but so don't hundreds of others films.

Idea: Revenge of the Sith: Extended Edition

well then if you can't really recreate the lost cut you could put in the deleted scenes that have been released, like all the biggs scenes, the treadwell, and others, make a hybrid of the official release and the lost cut based on what sources are out there. If lucas ever releases the color dailies of the deleted scenes on a future dvd release, then we can recreate the lost cut in it's entire glory, the world war II footage has been released or can be tracked down to which sources they were pulled from. even the temp track music could be traced for certain scenes.

I personally would rather just add stuff to the legendary finished edit that was shown in theaters and we all know and love. No temp track, no world war II footage, no jabba, no dave prowse voice. But the extended scenes with mark hamill and biggs, as well as ben kenobi's hut should be in there. You know an extended fan edition edit.

If the footage Is ever released for empire and jedi I would love to see extended . If not then storyboards or pics could be comped in with a subtitle for the spoken lines.

"Droidmaker" author NYC tour - Oct 24-26

I happen to think the best book on Lucas is skywalking, though it is a bit outdated. For the main reason it is a unauthorized biography, so it is more truthfull than any book under lucas control, like for instance the cinema of george lucas. I will buy and read droidmaker though I don't know if it will be new or just recycled information, like the cinema of george lucas was. The author of that book actually lifted stuff from other books and magazines about lucas, and lines form lucas in televised interviews none of which was new, except some rare photos. But 50.00 was way too much money for a couple so called exclusive "pics", Some of which were already posted on hyperspace.

speaking of deleted magic, I don't understand why no one has used the david reynolds articles, and the original shooting scripts, as well as footage from empire of dreams and elsewhere, like behind the magic cd rom footage, to try to recreate the lost cut. Deleted magic is a documentary not an extended edit of a new hope.

Yeah I know the effects are not finished on the deleted scenes, the treadwell scene is black and white but with the edited in mark hamill form the radio drama put in it, it could be used if someone did some animation like luke looking through his macro binocs, as the tantive 4 is attacked by vaders star destroyer. Maybe some one could even add color.

speaking of the animatic in episode III, the fuel tank room scene is in the videogame for episode three but that is animated, probalbly could not use that either.

Return of the Jedi - was it what it was meant to be?
Link

It is agreed upon by many that rotj could've been a better film, but there are still some very powerfull moments in the film, in fact some of my favorites in the trilogy. Besides the fact that fett goes down like a chump, and theres teddy bears instead of wookiees in the ground battle, originally was going to be Kashyyk not endor. The confrontation with vader and the emperor was supposed to be on then named had abbadon, capitol planet world of the empire imperial center (coruscant came from some eu author), in it's very depths so far down their would be lava in the emperors inner sanctum, not the death star II.

luke and leia unknowingly being brother and sister is an old archetype concept and I think lucas took it from greek and roman mythology, notwithstanding that he kept going back and forth over whether or not she should be his sister, or vader his father that is what he finally decided upon.

Luke's story originally was supposed to be 6 films, and was compressed to three. , in the original plan that also left the prequels and the sequels, that is why there were twelve episodes planned. the story that could've taken another 4 films to tell after empire strikes back was compressed to fit one movie.

why not just put the animatic in as it is, so we can see the original concept of the story for the film from the script. If you think it should'nt go in your cut, that is your decision. Just put in all the completed scenes using the script as a guideline. Although this seems problematic considering they have never released an ultimate edition soundtrack so revenge of the sith, what has been released is not all williams scored for the film. The same thing with attack of the clones. This dissapoints me because, I would have bought both ultimate editions for the second and third prequel films if they were released, I bought phantom menace ultimate edition. Just think if all the deleted scenes and music for all six films were released their could be extended cuts of a new hope, empire strikes back, and return of the jedi!, as well as phantom menace and attack of the clones.

James Cameron's Battle Angel - the beginning of a live action anime feeding frenzy?

well considering cameron just signed a 2 picture deal with arnold for terminator 4 and true lies 2, how will battle angel get made? is he directing it or as i've been hearing he's just the executive producer, lending his name to the project, similar to spielberg lending his name to projects he neither wrote or directed but produced.
