I doubt it. Lucasfilm has been working the past few years on starting again in the pure animation realm. They have started Lucasfilm Animation and are currently gearing up for some real production. Interestingly enough, most of the animation is taking place in Singapore. This seems to be the way things are moving as animators are cheaper outside the US.

According to this (9/20/04 - 12:30 PM PDT), this (9/20/04 - 10:30 PM PDT), and TheForce.Net, there are audio issues in Star Wars Trilogy DVD set.

Lucasfilm denied with this statement, "We are always impressed with how closely fans listen to the many different sound mixes we have made for the Star Wars movies over the years. It is flattering to know that, indeed, the audience is listening. Consequently, each mix comes out differently and any changes that you hear on the all-new Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX tracks on the Star Wars Trilogy DVD set are deliberate creative decisions. We can confirm that there are no technical glitches as reported."

If you have to ask how much something is, you probably cannot afford it.

This photo shows "Lake Ewok" and to the right of it the Technical Building (where Skywalker Sound is). Between the two and down a little is where most of the vines are, and to the right of the tech building there are vines as well. It's an old picture so these changes aren't reflected in it.

And no, we didn't sneak in. In fact I don't think it's possible to sneak in. Anyways, I was there to visit family; doing the sound for a movie at SS.

Say it with me.

Discovered a little animation company that needed a vision. Liked the product so much I bought the company. Pixar is now "the" digital animation studio.

And yes, it was named Pixar before he bought it from Lucas. Check the Lucasfilm site:

I'm unable to find any information at the Lucas Films Ltd. website, at the Minrad website, or anywhere else..

"Horns" leaked what appears to be a very real picture board of EPII to Naboonline who said "due to the fact that we do not want to get into trouble with Lucasfilm, we have decided to not post those images".

http://www.naboonline.com/new s/i ndex.shtml#9701203 is an apology from Naboonline.com to LucasFilm and includes the original letter received from LucasFilm, or more precisely David J. Anderman, Associate Director of Business Affairs, from:netenforcement@lucasfilm.com and then they subsequently state their position as

we do remind that we never posted any storyboards on this site - just 3 snippets of characters....Other sites, however, have linked to or posted some of the images. Aldera.net was asked to remove them.
Which is why we never posted the full images. We thought that a description and 3 character snippets would not invoke any trouble. LucasFilm says to take them off, so we do

A few choice snippets of the LucasFilm letter include.

It concluded with a nice "Persuant to DMCA...infringe Lucasfilm's copyrights and other intellectual property rights...penalty of perjury". Do they have a form letter for this sh*t? And if the site was based outside DMCA zone (e.g. Europe) would they be able to ignore this?

If a tabloid newspaper published this stuff would they get away with it? I'd have thought so! What is the difference here?

There's only one problem.....See the parent post :-)

Until the man came down on him, The XDude has the best use of flash on the web. Even in the sites transition, it is still pretty neat.
