You know who I want to see more of? These guys

Perhaps we should say that parodies/spoofs don't count. That's not influence.

My understanding that TPM was a great proof of concept for how much you could do with digital effects. No?

I'm presently listening to the ANH Remastered, and it's fantastic. Very, very, very pleased with this. I'm not the sort that knows all the right technical terms to describe this stuff, but the word I'd use is that it all sounds so much deeper than what I'm used to.

Won't be downloading ESB on account of the Imperial Audiophile Edition, but looking forward to ROTJ finally sounding correct.

ABC's salvage editions of all three scores

I hate to ruin the thread with requests, but I've never even heard of these. I've only ever heard ABC's ESB stuff, which was superb. Any info on how I can get ahold of whatever he did with the other two?

His explosive escape from the Sarlaac would make a good opening.

I don't see why not, I guess? It would be a cool action movie, set in the Star Wars universe. Sure!

Of course, the last time I saw a work of fiction purposely not answer every question and leave things mysterious, all the LOST fans complained.

Oh right. I forgot that clones are..not..the same...or....

You guys are now starting to remind me of what I don't like about the EU.

There we go.

Yeah it really... Harmy's right. The quality is pretty bad on Jabba compared to everything else :(

In case anyone missed it, twotofour suggested Star Wars (EPIVANH) is not very good, and that the prequels are its predecessors. I think it's pretty obvious this was a joke, seeing as he started off by saying Scary Movie 4 was good (Star Trek IV, btw, is good too, IMHO).

C3PS then proceeded to not get the joke. At the very least, he acted like he didn't get the joke. I still don't know which is true, and (as you'll see) I don't care.

Then the two of them started insulting each other.

Then everyone acted like internet arguments over whether or not people are good at posting, intelligent, etc actually matter.

Other than the part where they don't just force Boba to give them genetic samples, that all made remarkable sense.

I'm not really sure what there is to make clearer. There are clones in white armor, of which we see various versions over time. They're the soldiers of The Republic which becomes The Empire. ~20 years pass, and The Empire still has soldiers in white armor, but they don't all have the same voice anymore. I don't really know what you would explicitly state, other than a solution to the voice "problem".

And I assume the idea of DJ's bluray version has already been discussed as well.

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?
