Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**

Didn't IG-88 get married to the second Death Star and explode on his honeymoon or something?

Well if you want to get all EU on us...

The IG-88 in ESB is killed on Cloud City by Boba Fett. His boss, another IG-88, however, did that weird DSII thing that you reference, as part of his master plan to lead a droid uprising and rule the galaxy.

Guys, the EU is weird.

Why is everyone so negative to me?

Because you spammed a bunch of threads, which made you appear clueless, which made you a target. And some folks can't resist a target, apparently.

I won't to offend anyone and make Jambes work bad, I just wanted to make a project with your help, so you should also be more positive to me.

That's probably true.

You (all of you) are much worse than me in your behavior.

Given that you're new and didn't know not to spam loads of threads with the same message (...are you new to message boards in general?), also true.

Jambe Davdar's documentary called Star Wars Begins is as complete a version of the Jabba scene with Mulholland available.  It's not hard to find, though I can point you in the right direction if you need further help.

Hey, back off, buddy.  I'm the one who's gonna help.

Meanwhile, SilverWook is actually helpful.

Why not creating a Bonus-Disc with deleted scenes, like there is mostly one to every movie?

Here's an idea: Do it yourself and then you can share it with us.

The best reply ever? Possibly!

The Jabba scene doesn't belong in it, either with the actor or the CGI Jabba even if it was originally shot with the actor.

If you were making a traditional "Deleted Scenes" collection for the 1977 George Lucas film Star Wars, the Declan Mulholland as Jabba scene would certainly be appropriate. It was shot along with the rest of the film, intended to be part of the film, and then excised from the film before release. That's the definition of a deleted scene, so it should definitely be included on a separate Bonus Disc, as skywalker09 suggested.

My apologies…I was unaware that such items were not allowed…I came across this site when I was in search of work prints and I came across talks of them and how to obtain them…so I naturally assumed a good place to place such a way was in the trading and selling section though I do admit to being mistaken and seeing the talk about work prints in the preservation fan edit section, so that correction is duly noted…I had actually heard from two people already, so I do think there is more than just “little value” however…these items are rare and I have traded many times with many different people for a long while… my goal is not to make a profit…definitely in the wrong profession if I was in it for the money…my goal IS to share…and primarily that has been with like minded people who are collectors just like me…and to the person that mentioned sharing, um…trading is a way to share…one way anyway…people obtain what they want and you obtain what you want…as far as uploading to places such as You Tube…sure…I’d be willing to do that too…definitely something to look into as I actually didn't know they were available that way, as I only dealt with the "hard stuff"…but nothing wrong with holding the actual product in your hands without having buffering issues isn’t it?

I believe the common technique today is torrents (particularly using the Myspleen tracker) or newsgroup uploads.

That way, even people who are new and have no "collection" can get things.

Please note:

In general, this forum is more focused on genuine movie fans preserving and sharing lost pieces of movie history, rather than collectors trading to increase the size of their collection. There is little value in posting a long list of stuff you have; pick the one that's the most interesting or most in demand, upload it somewhere, and start a discussion about it.

Yeah, what are trades? Upload and share is the way of things.

Harmy's 2.0 of RotJ Despecialized is going to look amazing with this stuff.

I think the footage will look amazing all by itself, no need to mix it with the official BluRays.

Well that goes without saying. It'll be interesting to see what people do to these new scans. Dark Jedi, You Too and Mattman Omega got a startling amount of mileage out of the GOUT. Just think of what could come of others tinkering with this.

I just don't understand how mixing it with BluRay footage would make it look better. I mean aside from the fact that, for now, splicing in a couple of scenes into the BluRay can be done much more quickly than the time it takes to release the entire 35mm preservation.

Because no matter what you do, the Blurays will always have a finer level of detail, because their source is closer to the original camera negative than any theatrical print.

Here's a fun theory:

Since the whole Endor bit was a set-up, what better trap than to present the attackers with something they'd defeated before?

Not to mention deliberately make it look unfinished and vulnerable. That was a touch of evil genius.

Making it actually unfinished and vulnerable (unable to jump into hyperspace when things get too bad, unable to generate it's own shield and playing host to the real Emperor and his 'second in command" and not fakers) was a bit dumb.

I wish there was a good way to visually show that the Emperor's death changes the tide of the battle for supernatural reasons.
