Please, leave this guy as far from the franchise as possible.

Why?

Because of what he wrote, and because I think he has yet to prove himself to be a good director.

I agree, Alexrd. I abhor the Yuuzhan Vong storyline. They do not belong in the Star Wars universe. I only just watched Firefly as a personal marathon the last couple days. It was enjoyable. It's no wonder he likes the Yuuzhan Vong since he has a very similar people in Firefly.

Ah yes, who can forget the complicated religion, caste structure, and bio-tech weaponry of the Revers.

Wait...

Star Wars - Episode VII - FACTS IN TOP POST
Time

Speculation!

I doubt Harrison Ford is interested, unless he dies in the first scene. I doubt they'd have anything for Carrie Fischer to do. But I could certainly see Mark Hammil as a wise, old Luke Skywalker. Chewie's a possibility, and the droids seem certain.

I have no idea what the plot will be. Certainly not what they've come up with over at The Virtual Edition.

team negative1 - star wars 1977 - 35mm theatrical version (Released)
Time

Given that -1 & Co. just want to do a pretty barebones release, might I suggest we form some kind of project to do a more complete release?

 

EDIT: Actually maybe that's just DeEd v3

EDIT2: By which I mean that DeEd v3 will probably use this source when it's superior to other sources, but not when the Blus are superior, and will already have all the sound mixes and subtitles. So... never mind?

8mm film
Time

So, awhile back, I got an 8mm film projector for ~$10 at a thrift store. The bulb still works and the motor turns, but I haven't got any film with which to try it out. It's definitely regular 8mm, not Super8, which is admittedly not as good (I do love me some sound), but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

So, any thoughts on where I can get some 8mm films for cheap, to try projecting? I've never operated a film projector before, so I'd like to learn how to ... put the film in it properly? I figure I'll mess up and ruin some film, so I should start with something cheap and worthless. Advice?

Yowza! I just got off shift and, boy, look at all of the replies i got!

Thanx for sticking up for me, Gaffer Tape. xoxoxo

For the record: yes, im a girl! Is that so weird?

Oh, and timdiggerm, thanx for the explanation, but i guess i just dont get it. Whats the point of keeping old movies around if they dont look good for people anymore???

Well, let's use the last example in my reply. There are plenty of old paintings that don't look very good, now that we have cameras and photoshop. Why do we keep those around?
