Question regarding PT filming in Tunisia

I forget: Does "Han" very in pronunciation onscreen, or only off?

It does vary onscreen. In ESB, Lando tends to pronounce it like "hand" without the D, rather than "hawn." Then 3p0 picks up the variant pronunciation when Lando is being strangled.

Ah, that's exactly what I was thinking of! Good ol' Lando...

Gungans ("Goongas")

This one gets me every time.  Goongas sounds nothing like Gungans.

In all fairness, if you drop the second n and pronounce the u with a long u sound, you get "Goongas". Given that he pronounces Naboo with a long a and Hoth with a long o, it's actually pretty consistent.

secrethistory is also flagged for me.


Count me in as well. Seriously, what's this about?

 

From Google:

What is the current listing status for secrethistoryofstarwars.com?

Of the 6 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-03-16, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-03-16.

Malicious software includes 3 trojan(s), 1 scripting exploit(s), 1 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 3 new process(es) on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 3 domain(s), including festyvali.in/nl.ai/miopardenton.bee.pl/.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS11798 (ACEDATACENTERS).

Over the past 90 days, secrethistoryofstarwars.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Did the prequels have boring visuals?

I really don't know. I suspect it has to do with the complex camera movements within shots (not possible in the OT), and perhaps even more to do with the heavy use of CGI characters and vehicles, and their flashy movements (really not possible in the OT).

I think I'll watch through the PT a little and see if that makes sense.

This is a really good point. Sometimes we complain about CG looking fake...and we are wrong. We're tricked by things we think can't be done without CG.

"The Twin Ion Engine (TIE) fighter was originally designed to be blue, but the blue screen technology of the time couldn't cope with a blue ship, so it was painted grey. As the technology improved through Episodes V and VI, the TIE fighters got a bit bluer."

Ooooh! So it was George Lucas's original intent that the TIE Fighters be blueish, and Adywan is just restoring that intent!

In the end, this will probably be a good thing, being that it will give me one more reason to learn After Effects and other programs so I can re-color correct the TIEs to grey.
That's the right idea. If you don't like a change, change it back.

 

Pretty soon we're going to need git for films.
