So you're saying that Star Wars lacks Ginny.

The 1993 edition did have a few elements changed, so it isn't truly the "original theatrical edition".

Woah woah woah. What?

It's a cool idea, but I don't think it's quite good enough. Independent of whether or not it looks like real breaths, there aren't nearly enough of them. Any time they exhale (even through their nose I guess?) there should be this.

I just thought it was a pretty cool "mystery adventure" book until it turned into religious fairytale cheese towards the last third.
No fuckin' Fauns, no fuckin' talkin' animals repressing their first laughter, no stupid grasshoppers, no Apples of Teh Life - could've turned out so differently, had it been written first :(

Perhaps you know nothing else of C.S. Lewis' work? Most of his books are Christian theology. Heck, even when he wrote sci-fi, it was explicitly in a Christian context.

Yea, it's somewhat of a hard one with Narnia.

The written order makes more sense, in terms of exposition etc. - but the Magician's Nephew is just way cooler overall, and it doesn't hit you over the head with Christian allegories right away... that is, by the time you get to the horrendous "creation" of Narnia, and the Eden allusions, you've already been lured in with cool magic rings, flying through space between worlds, a world where everyone's a monster, and dead, Jadis wreaking havoc around London, the crazy scientist cartoon - and the unbearable Narnia chapters just kinda flow from there.

Lion&Witch just starts off as this cheesy fairytale adventure, so it may not make for the best first impression :)

Honestly, I never found TMN to be a very interesting book - It's by far my least favorite of them. That, combined with your point about exposition, makes it very easy for me to say Written Order.

Yeah, the copyright issues alone sink that idea.

Puggo's answer is the right one. I highly recommend darkjedi and harmy's stuff, though Harmy hasn't finished ROTJ yet.

I agree with Gaffer, but I'm totally in favor of dubbing the Nemoidians in fanedits.
Although that does ruin some of the humor of "Now there are two of them!"

Come to think of it, maybe the (possible) racism of some of the accents in the PT isn't that they have certain accents - It's that the accents are played for humor?

Privacy, eh? Well, then you won't be giving your address out to receive a copy

Wait, are you saying you're only going to release this on physical discs?

I think some of her comments, particularly about things like Jedi Rocks and Ewoks are very revealing - The opinions of the the members of this board are not the gold standard for what works or doesn't work in a movie. I'm not saying that I agree with her, but I am saying we should take a broader audience than ourselves into account when considering fan edits.

Now I wonder what a recolored ANH'll look like. Potentially jarring?

I'm curious as to the logic behind this. Is it because it's easier to color ANH than to color ESB & ROTJ (the ROTJ battle, for example...) or is it because everything grey makes it a little more lifeless than it needs to be?

Guys, this is ridiculous. It's not very reasonable to accuse ken of wanting to piss people off or being on drugs. He has an opinion, he's not always good at expressing it, and his spelling & grammar are poor at times. It's not necessary to accuse him of more than that.

The line about the baby is amazing.

You know, I suspect that if these movies came out in sequential order rather than OT, then PT, people would see them as inferior but still decent films.

Have you seen the Red Letter Media reviews?

What!? What did you say?!

OT.com - We care exactly what kind of smell you've discovered.

^ and that's the same old shit reply to the same old shit argument.  Maybe this place should become the sameoldshitolgy.com.  The dr forums with tl petition.

Outside of fan edits, preservations, OT/SE-change-analysis and Behind-The-Scenes investigations, there's nothing more to say.

I'm guessing "1776"

Not gonna lie, now that I've seen it with the Imperial March, I'm not sure I can go back.

But I do like the lack of tubing.

Nice trailer!

Hey Frink, when it's completed, can you post it on Youtube? My computer sucks at downloading.

I don't understand how youtube is preferable, since all you're doing there is downloading.

I just wanted to let you know, Frink, that I was looking at this impressive page when I got about 1/3rd down and actually said, in a terrible accent, "Now there are two of them!"

Yeah, Penguino, I don't think Asylum's copycat films should count. They do that for everything, on purpose.

....what.

Google+ seems okay... but it sure is empty thus far.
