  • And guess what's going to be on it: the extended lightsaber duel, surely the very thing we all bought the disc wanting to see. Greedy bastard.

    More rants!!

    by prof. pop-cult

    Awright, more how-much-Episode-I-sucked-and-ruined-my-childhood-memories rants! Bring it own, yes!! Harrys Server: Maybe if you lost the pop-ups and animated Harry gifs you wouldn't be so bogged down so much.

  • Haha, Harry. Very funny. Putting a story on the new SW.com documentary up as if it were the fucking bigget revelation since Bobby Ewing's shower scene or some tin man telling a farmboy he's his father. Ok look, some people got out of way line when you ran a story about the poster that turned out flat. So what? So they cursed you into oblivion and ridiculed this site. So what? They'll all be back because AICN is the shit. Sometimes it is shit, but in the very least it provides for a good excuse to tell the boss you're really conducting research when you're actually fucking around on the net. Don't change and don't look back. On another note I'm watching my new FM(1978) DVD and riding the bongo on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in L.A. http://lordmall.8k.com

    What is "Sound Sourcing," Harry?

    by destiny law

    Thanks for tipping me off to the new documentary... Ben's work is half the movie for me. But... what do you mean by "sound sourcing"? I've never heard that term before. It isn't once mentioned in that documentary. Do you mean "reference"? "Sampling"? Or just "recording"? Oh, and also... "noises" refers to things like static. Never heard the word "noise" in that piece either. Ben Burtt makes SOUNDS.

    The more things change...

    by inigo montoya

    ...the more they stay the same.
    Didn't they use the sound of a WWII bomber for the Millennium Falcon? Or, rather, they did. Looks like a feeling for the details of the universe is slowly seeping back through the ranch's picket fence. Yeehoo.

    Episode V was never called "Revenge of the Jedi"
    I believe it was always "The Empire Strikes Back"

    death to Talkback bitches! this is a cool report

    by tall_boy

    c'mon, who really doesn't want to know about how in the heck they made that friggin' cool lightsaber noises anyway? My only complaint is that Quicktime never really works good on my system *grumble grumble* Oh, and the guy who said another TPM DVD was on the way can get a big bowl of fuck.

    Some rumblings about this news....

    by rubby

    As for the whole documentary on EPISODE II, it doesn't interest me. I don't have the equipment installed in my computer needed to download the documentary and really isn't the kind of cool Star Wars news back in the old days which was often information we couldn't get from the website or official Lucasfilm sources.
    This news just doesn't interest me but glad it seems the Star Wars pissing contests on the AICN talkbacks have calmed down. Instead, all the pissing contests seem to be going on at the Harry Potter vs. LOTR talkbacks.

    There's sooooo nothing to hate about Lucas after the most s

    by cruel shoes

    Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If he wait's until the Sextology of films is done to release all six DVD's then he's an asshole for making us wait, if he decides to NOT wait and release them now, he's a money grubbing asshole. If he decides to release some now, the rest later and PACK the DVD's with supplements...well...then...uh...ahem...HE'S AN ASSHOLE FOR USING THE WORD LAZER SWORDS! By the way, they are laser swords. And who makes policy here, the guy who writes, produces, and directs the movie or YOU buddy? Hint: it ain't you, and he can call them whatevvvvvvvver he goddamn well pleases.

    I just watched the Star Wars Episode IV SE again

    by jaguart

    And I have to say that its a damned good movie. I remember watching the original in the theatres and it was just so jaw-dropping. No one had ever made a movie like that that was so slick and lush. Looking back now, I really wonder who George Lucas was making this film for. That movie was made for adults. I don't think Lucas has it in him to make one like that again.
