9/30/11 The Dissolution of Starwars.com
For years, EU fans became subscribing members to a content-heavy portion
of the official site called Hyperspace, which featured in-depth articles, comics, webstrips, short stories, etc.
Even the non-paying portion of the site had years of articles and features,
including an extensive databank of characters from the films, books and comics. Those who didn't
get a chance to copy and print the material
have now been left in the lurch, as the new site has jettisoned all of it for a
site with big pictures and few words that can accommodate even the most
illiterate of second-graders.
5/4/11 Re-review...
Update 9/13/11: As of a month prior to release, the Lucas corporation finally
released detailed specs. Head over
to the official site to see them. This
specs review that I'd written in May was based on the purported "reveal all,"
which was designed to hype fan interest and obfuscate certain facts that Star
Wars purists, blu-ray purists and others might not like. This revised "review"
is a more balanced look at this set. Once it's out in a few days, I'll post an
updated review.
1. I wasn't expecting the original version of the classic trilogy. That it
wouldn't be included was made clear in an obscure interview, which most fans
didn't read. Thus, I understand fans'
ire that it's not being made available in anamorphic widescreen, I've always
thought the Special Edition versions had more
going for them than not. So I can't in good conscience say that I'm missing
the originals. But I am disappointed for those fans who are, and that this isn't the
Ultimate Edition box set that so many were hoping for, and expecting, which,
like the Blade Runner (or Aliens) set, contains different versions
of the film via branching technology. That would've been, IMO, the right
way to go.
2. This set is based on the inferior
2004 transfer. THAT is disappointing. It means the films will look great, but not be presented
in the best high-definition quality that's currently available and in use by
practically every film that's been released on blu-ray for the last few years.
It will still have crushed blacks and other issues present in the old 1080
transfer. What does it mean to most people? Probably not much. It will look
better than the DVD versions. But not like it should. It could and should've
looked spectacular. But, taking advantage of the fact that only the videophiles
know what it means to do a proper 4k transfer, it wasn't done this time 'round.
3. Based on the wording of the press release, the deleted scenes, alternate
scenes, and extended scenes are NOT incorporated into the films, but available
only on separate discs. This is a bone of contention, as the films
could've been reworked into extended editions (ala the hugely popular The
Lord of the Rings EEs). For fans who had been looking forward to the
"ultimate editions" even before 2004, this is disappointing. While getting to
finally see these scenes, is great, most have not been cleaned up (which is
egregious), and many of the deleted scenes from the prequels are merely
animatics.
4. Lightsabers have been corrected, as well as other color timing issues.
Additionally, Lucas has continued to tweak, not only with special effects (e.g.,
giving Ewoks blinking eyes), but with iconic moments, such as Vader's redemptive
act, where he now utters a howling "Noooo!" as he pitches Palpatine over the
edge. Needless to say, this has caused a huge uproar from fans around the web.
5. The surprisingly worst feature of this set is the documentaries. Of the 100 hours of new documentary footage that
Rick Macallum excitedly talked about in 2007, there's six hours of footage
broken up into numerous categories, interesting, yes, but a far cry from what
had been promised. Of the documentaries, there's 25 minutes
about TESB, 84 minutes about the 501st (the
group that dresses like stormtroopers and other armored characters from the
films). "Spoofs" is 91
minutes of clips from some of the spoofs that have been available online (or
officially released). The other two useless documentaries are
"Anatomy of a Dewback," which is about the special effects
that went into making the '97 Special Editions. Considering that some of those
effects were later redone for the 2004 version (Jabba specifically), this is a
bit pointless. The other documentary is Star Wars Tech, which is the
shorter of the two History Channel specials that aired a few years back. Oddly
enough, the lengthier and far more interesting one (The Legacy Revealed)
isn't included.
On the positive side, there's:
1. The original documentaries from '78, '80 and '83, namely The Making of
Star Wars; The Empire Strikes Back: SPFX, and Classic Creatures: Return
of the Jedi. If you're like me, these hold a special place in your heart.
I'm glad to see them confirmed on here, as they'd been expected. I just didn't
think they'd be the sole documentaries (not counting the new short on
TESB) of the films. Keep your DVDs, however, folks. There's no "The Beginning,"
no "From Star Wars to Jedi," etc. There's far more that's not included than is.
2. DTS 6.1. I've heard great things about the soundtrack, which has been done
from scratch, so no missing cues or reversed channels as with the DVDs.
5/1/11 Mark Your Calenda... ahh, forget it!
Apparently details about the upcoming Star Wars blu-ray sets are being released
on the 4th (get it? May the Fourth be with you), the 34th anniversary of the
first film. As many of you know, I want to be excited about this. I've been
talking about the "ultimate editions" blu-ray set for years now, and while this
isn't being billed as an "ultimate" edition, it has the potential to be quite
promising, what with tons of rediscovered footage from the classic trilogy.
Only problem is that I don't believe Lucas bothered to reincorporate them into
the films themselves. And that just bugs me. If Blade Runner could offer
five versions of that film, I don't see why we couldn't have a proper extended
edition version of these. Now, I could yet be wrong. Perhaps they did, in which
case, you'll see an exuberant and joyful post on the 4th!
Either way, it'll still be nice to see those scenes, but outside of the context
of the film itself, it doesn't have the dynamic and narrative context. Yeah, we
know all these films by heart, so we can easily imagine the latter. But I'm a
firm believer that if you've got good scenes, and an opportunity to create a
different cut of the film, do it. It would require Williams to recut and/or add
new music to the score, but that's a good thing!. More John Williams' Star Wars
music?! Uh, yes!
Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm also concerned that part of the reason they
held off releasing info on these discs is to forestall criticism on the high-def
transfers themselves, which are likely older upgrades (see the 1/6/11 article).
While most people won't know the difference, or be distracted by all the good
stuff on this set, it is a disappointment for those of us who will know the that
the quality of the image is not what it could've/should've been. It's not just
that Star Wars isn't the cutting-edge, state-of-the-art series it once was, or
that even non-genre and mediocre-genre films are getting proper HD transfers,
it's that Star Wars deserves to be given the royal treatment; so, if they didn't
do a new master, it's a shame. But again, I'm happy to be wrong if such is the
case.
You won't need me to post the info, as it'll be everywhere on the 4th, but
you'll get the pertinent stuff and my response to it.
4/22/11 Revan
Drew Karpyshyn's new novel will pick up where KOTOR (the video game) left
off. Called The Old Republic: Revan, it will span five years, and
continue his tale during the period of KOTOR II. For more info, go
here.
While this is certainly exciting news for fans of KOTOR, what I'd like to
know is when they're going to commit the story of that game to a
novel/comic for non-gamers. It was once thought that the Dark Horse comic
series would catch up to that time-period, but that doesn't seem to be
happening. So far, we have a prequel and a sequel committed to text, but
not the actual story that sparked them. Ah well, I guess us non-gamers
will just have to watch the fan-made movie version on
Youtube (of which a Special Edition is apparently in the works).
4/21/11 A Note of Reassurance
It's been interesting days since our petition took off! We've had extremist
far-right opposition in the form of theforcecast, who've called the EU "crap"
and labeled EU fans "kooks" and "fanatics," who amount to a tiny minority. Yet,
they've felt so threatened by this tiny minority that they amusingly set up an
anti-EU Facebook page! This last bit of hilarity has amounted to all of 43
"likes" from theforcecast's devotees. Compare that with the now 1,000 signatures
on our petition, and we see who the "minority" actually is. But the controversy,
as all controversies are, was good for us, as it increased our visibility and
intent to let all 100,000 EU fans (a number based on Del Rey's recent statement
that of the six Fate of the Jedi books in print, there are over 660,000
copies in print! No small army are we!) know that we have a voice, and that
voice is saying, politely, to keep the past stories relevant and in harmony, as
they've been for 30 years! This is in no way to suggest that Lucas should "curb
his vision" as the detractors claim, but rather to recognize that because these
stories were commissioned and approved by Lucas and his team, and sold to his
supportive fans as the legitimate history of the people, places, things in his
films, they deserve consideration as such. And to the extent that changes are
required, which they sometimes are, Lucas' stalwart team (Sue Rostoni, Leland
Chee, Pablo Hidalgo) will find ways to make it all work in the end. A good
long-running series employs retcons as the backbone of its operation, and Star
Wars has successfully done this for decades. From 1978 to today, retcons have
made accidents, incongruities, contradictions and other mistakes from story to
story work, and, in fact, new stories have sprung from the need to create
retcons (e.g., the Jedi vs. Sith and Darth Bane series to explain
how the "rule of one" came about, which was initially a contradiction between
the ancient Sith from the Tales of the Jedi era to the new Sith of the
prequel trilogy.)
To that end, those of us on the Dark Horse message boards got some encouraging
news from Leland Chee (which I hope he doesn't mind my posting here), which is a
bit of reassurance that many of us were hoping to hear from LFL for some time. I
had asked him, jokingly, if he'd signed our petition, to which he responded:
"While I am humbled by your passion, I
strongly believe the Expanded Universe should always strive to adhere to George
Lucas's vision of the Star Wars
universe. When discrepencies arise, we've always made every effort to adjust the
EU to adhere to that vision while at the same time, preserving as much of the
existing EU as possible. We did this when new films came out, we will continue
to do this with The Clone Wars series,
and we will do this with anything else that stems from George's vision of
Star Wars. Given it has been over 30
years since the release of the first sequel, I think we've done a pretty good
job of holding together the EU so far.
You hear
me baby? Hold together!
The Star Wars community has lost some
long-time members due to the recent spate of contradictions to the EU, and no
doubt there will be more, particularly with Henry Gilroy and Catherine Winder no
longer working for The Clone Wars team (they now have a head-writer and
producer who know nothing of the EU and seem as if they could care less about
it). Leland's note is great news, but that doesn't mean that fans shouldn't
continue to voice their concern, and this petition allows them to do so in a way
that's communicative, not argumentative or demanding. People don't listen when
they're being attacked. And Lucas, as much as many people have been angered at
his decisions and flaws, is still a human being deserving of respect on that
level.
So, keep signing, and hold on to your fandom!

3/3/11 Mark Your Calendars... or not: February 10, 2012
Not sure how many of you care about this, but The Phantom Menace will be
re-released in theaters in 3D on 2/10/12... It's apparently to be followed by
the other films in the series. I might check it out. But to be perfectly honest,
Jar Jar in 3D is not exactly something I'll be lining up for. If the film has
significant changes made to it, then my curiosity will be piqued. I think a lot
of us recognize that TPM needs work. Not sure at this late game if it's going to
get a "Special Edition" type treatment, but it undoubtedly needs it. I don't
think it's a terrible film, just a flawed one that was rushed, and particularly
its screenplay, which Lucas never should've tackled on his own (you'll recall
that ANH and TESB were written by others).
1/6/11 This Will Be a Day Long Remembered... Or Not.
Well, after years of speculation and rumors, the Star Wars Saga box set set has
officially been announced for September. First off, here's the official press
release. Then we'll discuss:
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release Star Wars in three
distinct sets to meet the needs of every Star Wars fan:
So, as far as announcements are concerned, this is a pretty shabby one. We
already knew, via Sansweet and others back in April, eight months ago, that a
blu-ray set was being prepared for this year, and that it would contain "lost
scenes" and new documentaries. The promo-video for this set is also pretty
lackluster and doesn't do much more than show clips from the six films. I'd have
wanted to see some of the deleted scenes and documentary footage, but no such
luck. All we learned is that this is a three-tier set, and that fans of the
originals who hate the prequels can just get a set of the "original" special
edition versions, and skip the prequels (and, apparently, the bonus 30 hours of
special features). We already know that the original theatrical releases will
not be included, as Lucas has said that it's too cost-prohibitive at this time
to restore them (the '95 "restoration" was actually a revision process that
created the '97 special editions, which were then upgraded again for the 2004
DVD set).
The news has generated some excitement in as far as the films are coming out in
high-def, but there's not even any word as to whether or not they did a
proper high-def transfer (the 2004 transfer was a subpar 1080p transfer.
Most HD transfers are 4k). Frankly, the way this press-release is worded makes
it sound like they didn't do anything but upconvert the old one. (For more info
on this whole process and what it means, see:
http://secrethistoryofstarwars.com/savingstarwars.html under the subheading:
"Further Changes and into the Digital Realm")
Stay tuned, as I'm sure over the next few months they'll divvy out crumbs of
information to keep the faithful in perpetual salivation at the heel of their
master.
11/29/10 RIP Irvin Kershner
11/15/10 Quinlan Vos Hits the Small Screen
EU readers (meaning any of you reading this) will be happy to note that Quinlan
Vos survived the Clone Wars animated series relatively unscathed from how he
appears in the comics. His voice might throw some, but overall no damning
changes were made to him, and even his specific force talents were kept for the
character. Actually, the episode where he appears, "Hunt for Ziro" is one of the
best ones that have appeared in the series, and demonstrates that a show could
be excellent, surprising and faithful to the stories that came before. But, of
course, we already knew that. Nitpickers who played the game Bounty Hunter
take note: The Krayt Dragon found Gardulla the Hutt indigestible.
10/22/10 In unrelated, but exciting news:
Peter Jackson has just announced that Martin Freeman is set to play Bilbo
Baggins. "There has only ever been one Bilbo Baggins for us," Jackson explained.
"There are a few times… when you come across an actor [who] was born to play a
role, but that was the case as soon as I met Martin. He is
intelligent,
funny,
surprising and
brave - exactly like Bilbo… he is our
Hobbit."
I could not agree more! Check out theonering.net for further casting news!
10/4/10 Who is the Creator of Star Wars? Just two news items ago (see 9/18/10: Clone Wars Season 3), I said I wasn't going to rant about anything that happened on the Clone Wars animated series, but simply bide my time until the end of the Clone Wars series, and then, after seeing LFL/Filoni's timeline, determine what stays and what goes. But after seeing the last episode featuring a Rodian named Greedo whom Lucas is insisting, despite no conclusive evidence from the episode, is THE Greedo from the Cantina (hoping we'll forget that the film-Greedo had to speak Huttese to Han, or that Greedo's back-story determines that he wasn't even born), the idea for this article popped into my head. Hopefully, you'll find it's at least something to think about.
This article has been edited and expanded, and moved to here.
9/26/10 Star Wars Timeline Network The ever-reliable Jim Lehane (of Dinojim.com and the Star Wars Expanded Universe Chronology Checklist Database) has put together a Facebook page that will present updates from various timelines, including my site, Nathan's, Eddies and his own). Pretty cool, huh? (Now, I just need to make sure I make updates -- a task I know James is happy to assist me with). You can check it out here.
9/18/10 Acknowledgements I also want to take this moment to send a big thanks to everyone who's been keeping me abreast of Star Wars news, info and stories, Luke Van Horn, Eddie van der Heijden, Simon Elvis, Chris Matz, Jacob Cook and others who've sent me comments and questions. I'm storing them up so that when I get back into updating full-time, I can reference your emails and see what needs work. Thanks guys!
Also, big thanks is due to a man named James Cox who's been directly helping me update the look and functionality of this site. You can check out his work on the new Legacy page! I'm pretty excited about these developments, and I think you'll be too!
9/18/10 Clone Wars Season 3 Minimal issues coming back online, which is great news, so I figured I'd post a small update. Many of you have no doubt seen the first two episodes of the third season of Clone Wars. The animation continues to improve on this series in tandem with the contradictions with the greater EU, as noted recently at Celebration V (where, for example, it was said that Asajj Ventress was to be shown as a Nightsister from Dathomir). Some of you have asked about my thoughts on the re-working of Asajj's backstory. Plainly said, I'm not thrilled, though I must admit there is a certain irony here. Haden Blackman (creator of The Force Unleashed) wrote her back-story in the pages of Dark Horse's Republic comic. Recalling his utter disregard for continuity in TFU, it is somewhat amusing to see him get a taste of his own medicine. A bit of poetic justice perhaps? At any rate, rather than rant and rave about the show's contradictions -- which you guys know I've done at length -- I'm simply going to try and figure out how it all can work to a greater or lesser degree. There is fluidity with the Clone Wars episodes, as they're not being aired in chronological order, and we don't have a fixed timeline as of yet. When the show is complete, I'll go over everything to see what stays and what goes, and what can be made to fit. There's a lot that creative writers can patch up once the storm that is George Lucas is no longer doing damage. In the end, I do think it will be determined that the series was worth it -- despite the problems and headaches it caused -- but that's a forecast for a future day. For my part, I am enjoying the show.
9/17/10 Back Online After losing my hard-drive, I'm back online with a new computer (and new version of FrontPage). Just testing this out to see if there's any conflicts with Windows 7 (or rather, what specific conflicts I'm going to encounter).
8/14/10 It's Official!!! STAR WARS on Blu-Ray! And a New Scene from Return of the Jedi!! After years of fans talking about it, George Lucas has just announced at CV (that's Star Wars Celebration 5) that Fall of 2011 will see a "Star Wars Saga" box set on blu-ray with deleted scenes! As you know from the news posted on 4/19, there are going to be a LOT of new scenes! These guys have gone into the dailies from all six films and pulled out things that not even Lucas has seen since the day they were shot! As of yet, there is still no word on if or how many scenes are being reinserted into the film, and let's face it, while individual deleted scenes are cool, they're oftentimes academic, divorced as they are from the context of the film itself.
But there is one new scene that's just been released! If the additional "lost" scenes are half as good as this one, the Star Wars films may get the kind of increase in quality that the extended editions of some of the Lord of the Rings films got! Check it out:
8/10/10 Exclusives and Upcoming Season date announced Head over to Starwarsshop.com for Tales from the Clone Wars, Vol. 1 (click on the link to go right there), an exclusive trade paperback of the Clone Wars webcomics from the official site. These take place before and in-between episodes of Season 1's Clone Wars animated series. And speaking of which, they just announced that Season 3 will debut on September 17 at 9PM (Eastern) with a one-hour special.
7/14/10 What's Happening? The following is more of a blog type entry than proper "news," but it's a bit overdue, and is something I'm writing (albeit with variations) on most of my sites. I wanted to address my ever-lengthier spans of time between updates, what that's all about, and when we can look forward to getting back to normal. As most of you know, I've been working on a book (www.blacksabbathlyrics.net) that I hope to see published this year or next. It's been a lot of work, more than I'd anticipated, which continues despite my two trusty editors currently going through it. Despite this, I had been managing to make periodic updates on this site from time to time, even if just to rant about something or other. Why did that dry up?
Well, the bottom line is that I had to get another job, two in fact! While I don't begrudge webmasters, who like PBS stations, need to ask for money from their visitors, I'm personally loathe to do that myself. I feel that as Star Wars fans, we spend more than enough money on books, comics, magazines and other ancillary items. In addition, this isn't a job for me. This is my hobby, something I get a lot of enjoyment from, and which helps keep me sane. If Lucas or LFL want to pay me to do something for them, that's fine. But I won't be asking for money for something I'm voluntarily offering. I'm grateful to have found several jobs that will keep me afloat. Many haven't been able to find work despite trying, which is why I don't judge any webmaster who asks for contributions. But I don't need to.
All well and good, you say, but when am I going to get back to regular updates? It's a great question and one that I don't have a definitive answer to. Roughly, I'd like to say within a year's span. When the edits on my second draft is complete, I'll need to do a third and final draft. I continue to search for more artists and photographers. And I need a publisher (else I self-publish, which will mean considerably more time and effort). But the book will be complete and I will return to my favorite brainwork, which is this and my other sites. As it stands, I haven't even had time to complete the latest Legacy of the Force book (which I'm thoroughly enjoying, but it's the longest I've ever taken to read a book).
This may be a bit of a tangent, but it bears stating. Having entertaining and thoughtful literature to read/watch/study is important to many of us, and there's a reason for that. Because of the nature of my book, I've recently had to immerse myself in hardcore reality (specifically I'm speaking about history and current events, for the two are intertwined). That's not a bad thing. In the past, I think I shied away from that too much . I've learned a lot as a result, for instance, I've seen how even well-meaning individuals and institutions (be they political, commercial or religious) can cause tremendous suffering and damage in this world when people blindly place their trust in them. I've seen how there's no end to man's capacity for brutality and evil. With knowledge comes power, particularly over one's own life, but also as a means to lend assistance to the powerless, those without voice (which can mean our animal neighbors who share this planet, as well as the disenfranchised, the poor, the exploited, women, children and minorities, any who are excluded from the powerful and wealthy elite of this world.) But as valuable as that knowledge is (and will continue to be), a balance must be struck. Feeling the effects of what's essentially post-traumatic stress from the many things I've seen, I can state more forcefully than ever the importance of the Arts, music, literature, illustrative works, film and others, to provide emotional equilibrium. The Arts, when done with honesty, care and creative skill, can bring a bounty of pleasure and wisdom, truth and strength. It's a worthwhile goal to keep these things intact and within harmony alongside the day-to-day realities (and, indeed, horrors) of this world...
In closing, I want to thank yet again the many of you who've taken the time to email me with updates! You guys rock! I may not be able to get to those updates right away, but know this: I'm saving them in a special folder so that when I do have the time, I'll be going through each one to make sure I've gotten everything. I'll also be adding your names to my permanent list of Thank You's (if I haven't already) because your help is immeasurable. In one month's time, a lot of material can be released, which makes it a challenge when trying to play catch up. Your efforts make things a heck of a lot easier! So thanks! Well, I'm off to see the Wizard! Till next time... --Joe
5/16/10 Harmonizing Sites As many of you know, my site, Eddie van der Heijden's timeline, Nathan Butler's Timeline Gold and Rob Mullin's Expanded Universe Chronology represents the longest running, still-extant Star Wars timeline sites on the net. Thanks to Eddie's suggestion, we've all decided to harmonize our efforts by providing prominent links on our front pages to one another's sites so that we're all better connected. Nathan, Rob, Eddie and myself will still maintain our sites individually, and continue to develop our unique interpretations, presentations and approaches to the chronology of this growing body of lore known as the Star Wars expanded universe. But I think there's something celebratory in our standing side-by-side and publically recognizing each other's works as valuable contributions to the Star Wars fan community, new and old. No doubt, Star Wars has presented each of us with a LOT of challenges in the last few years since the start of the Clone Wars animated series, and I've no doubt there will continue to be challenges to overcome. But I know that we'll overcome them as we have in the past, and perhaps even more successfully into the future as we strengthen our bonds of communication and resources. Thanks to all of you who've supported us over the years, and if you haven't already, take a gander at Eddie's Once Upon a Galaxy, Nathan's Timeline Gold and Rob's Expanded Universe Chronology. (Of course, there are even more Star Wars timeline sites out there just as enjoyable as ours, and worthy of spending time with. Check out my links page for some of these.)
4/19/10 Blu-Ray on the Near Horizon Consider this rumor, but a pretty strong one. The Star Wars six-film saga box-set may be heading to Blu-Ray as early as October! Steve Sansweet, at C2E2 in Chicago has recently announced "We have been at work for a couple of years working on – I won't call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff – but, a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We're finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about... there are some real treasures." Head over to thedigitalbits.com for more info.
On theforcecast, Steve Sansweet said there's still work to be done, and as to the newly rediscovered scenes, some were synched to sound, some are things fans have heard about for years, and there's no word yet as to whether they'll be presented as deleted scenes or even part of a new cut of the film (via branching technology). This is all amazing news! The fact that they're going through the actual dailies to pull out "lost" scenes that Lucas hasn't seen in decades is incredible! There's going to be a lot in this set. So stay tuned for information, as I'm certain there's a ton of news that will be coming out in the weeks and months to come.
2/10/10 "Fear Not for the Future, Grieve Not for the Past" With cooler heads prevailing, there are some who think the recent disruptions of continuity over the issue of Lucas' rewrite of Mandalorian history can and will be fixed by LFL and the writers. We shall see. Perhaps they will. If so, then there's no cause for storming Skywalker Ranch with torches ablaze, tempting though that might seem. The fact is that LFL should have been apprised in advance so that at the very least they could have done damage control and begun preparing a continuity fix. Be that as it may, it's not my company. It goes without saying that I would have handled matters a lot differently. After all, there's enough things in this world to upset people without adding art/entertainment to the list.
So, I'm going to take a wait & see attitude and try and enjoy some of the recent SW books/comics in the meantime. I'm hearing very good things about Crosscurrent, and of course some of what Dark Horse is doing is pretty brilliant as well.
