So they showed JEDI in hollywood last night and lucasfilm provided a 35mm print of the 97 special edition. 3 years ago Empire was a digital presentation of the DVD version. Progress? (Also, apparently the crowd cheered the ghost Sebastian Shaw)
That is indeed good news.
About half of those in that list fall into "Did you know that people had different standards and morals in the past?! OMG!"

The channels work like this: Audio channels 1 and 2 are dialogue, channels 3 and 4 are sound effects, and channels 5 and 6 are the music score.
Pretty sure it does not "work" like this...
Well, it's something like close to that. I know the back channels are reserved for music. I don't really mess around with any of the other channels that much.
What....what source are you using? If we're talking about a 5.1 sound mix for a film, your 5 channels are front left, center, front right, rear left and rear right (in some order), plus a 6th channel for the subwoofer ("LFE" or something?) Sound effects, dialogue and music are going to be mixed across all of them, although most dialogue will fall in the front, I think.
Exception: I've heard Clone Wars just keeps dialogue in the center channel.

Just learned that the trailer comes out next week. Short preview of it above.
Battleschool....has one spherical battleroom?
But Mazer sure is Maori.

Is Lucas writing? I thought he was leaving it all to others and just working as a consultant...
You were correct; some people don't know the facts.

That means George Lucas has the same intelligence level as Palpatine. This was just a left-handed explanation of the PT.
False. Writing the actions of a fictional character in a fictional world is not the same as being able to achieve those same goals were you in that position.
Or perhaps they were all blinded and manipulated by a cunning individual with magical powers.
I think he is mistakenly talking about the ricin case

Are we sure this isn't adywan's house? ;)
Judging by the AT-ATs, yes, pretty sure.
There was a pretty brilliant mockup once in which the ESB deleted footage was used to show Luke putting his ROTJ saber together on Dagobah in mid-air.
I think 144p is an emergency measure on youtube's part, so they have a resolution to fallback on when even 240 is a problem. I dunno about you, but I've been having a lot of trouble with them lately.

I hope these rumors are false, if true just how badly will JJ ruin star wars VII.
They're either true or there's a massive conspiracy of people lying about what they've seen and no one from the actual premiere (or other screenings) contradicting them.

One thread move and merge, please.
Seconded
I would definitely like to hear more about it from you at a later time.
I'd say that the "gift" of the droids preceding Leia & Chewie's arrival contradicts that pretty well.
Booooooo
I want to have time to fill it in.
That is one of the stranger ideas I've seen on here.
I feel like you cut away a little too soon for viewers to get the idea of what's going on there.
Also, although I love the use of ANH music, I worry about overuse? But it's a good idea in terms of linking, for sure.

I think this is a good indicator of how much people prefer the original version of Star Wars over any sort of fan edit or Special Edition:
Many people who would be interested in any of those already had Ady's work before they got myspleen accounts, whereas Harmy's DE2.1 was first released on there.
Now that we're back on the very same topic that has been discussed over and over...
IN SUMMARY: The amount of hyperbole that goes on here about ROTJ and the PT is unnecessary and not helpful. If you have seriously made the kinds of statements Darth Ender pointed out, you should rethink things.

Please see the page for Star Wars (the film, okay? that's the title) for a template of at least how I thought we should start.
I am glad they resolve Kirk's death with life before the film ends. Yes, Spock's death was a great thing, and his return was good too (except for "Jim...your name is Jim!" :D :D :D :D ), but Kirk probably shouldn't have all that. It would be too much like the old movies - and that's saying something for this film.
Well, I agree.

As for the Death Star cue, I'm not wild about it either. What I would really want, is to get a clever musician to get me that exact cue in a major key.
Oh now that would be fantastic. And I'm pretty sure it's doable. Have you seen the videos where people autotune various songs to be in major keys? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6KmiIq2-m8 for example (original being http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwtdhWltSIg).
