Hi Folks,
I've been reading through the thread of discussion here. Rather interesting stuff. Of course we appreciate the praise you have for our little project.
We actually didn't mean to make it sound like we were bashing Lucas. We just found it pretty stupid to animate something to a previously done soundtrack of a previously done (not the greatest) movie. There is no point in that.
We discussed the issue of the movie with some marketing folks at Lucasfilm. They weren't threatening or anything about it. But on the other hand very friendly. Lucasfilms definitely supports Fan Films and fan appreciation.
Just wanted to clear that up. Also wanted to add, since it's been mentioned.. I am also a Linux user along with PC and Mac, and yes I understand the frustration with Quicktime, etc.. I assure you there WILL be MPEG4 and Realvideo formats available soon, we're working on it. The big problem is we don't want to risk killing the bandwith on our server, and of course Akamai is not going to host MPEG4 and Realvideo, as that deal was done through Apple. So as soon we have mirrors and the versions ready by mid-late next week you can watch it in that format. One last thing there is an icon on the DOWNLOAD and STREAMING pages of a disk you can right click and save as to save the movie.. we don't understand how people miss that.. is it not apparent?
Ah well. Thanks again.
