good stuff, you should have sorted the blu ray versions out for George, he's been tinkering again, and again, and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,and again. That man has nothing better to do, than make ewoks blink, make Jabbas front door bigger, make darth Vader say Nooooooo!! while the emperor is giving Luke 10,000volts up his arse....oh and Jar jar has a new voice too along with a new personality I kid you not.

Its ridiculous. Anyway enough said, good stuff and keep it up

I heard he replaced the yoda puppet with a cg one. I also saw that at the end of the jedi strikes back (thats the third one right?) where the ghosts of yoda, vader, and obi wan are there they replaced the original darth vader with that Hayden guy... that's pretty insulting




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

good stuff paldav...as usual Im always waiting for more...MORE!!!....I agree Chirone...leave the films alone! Its one thing to add a piece here and there but really all it does when they go too far is spoil it. I think CG is great BUT there are merits IMO in leaving the old puppet/starship on strings stuff!! Its what MADE the movie and gives it character!

Honestly check out a movie called 'Run Silent Run Deep'...about a sub..GREAT art man and no CGI...and thats what Star Wars was about. Too much CGI will just ruin it.

waiting paldav he he he he

i guess it is probably because its your first light and comp, but there is no motion blur or depth and the ground is really flat looking.
models and textures look good tho.
