Star Wars

Apparently you can see the new Episode I footage of CGI Yoda during the US leg of Star Was in Concert. If you can't get to it, check your local PBS station for The Making of Star Wars in Concert for a brief look.

The program states that it "premiered" in the US.

Ordinarily, I'm philosophically opposed to this kind of pointless revisionism, but the TPM Yoda puppet just looked like ass.

And, besides, it's "the Phantom Menace." Hardly the defacement of a sacred cultural touchstone.

Thank you so much Rocket. I'll look into this.

I did not mind it to much. However I liked Yoda best in Episode V: The Empire Stikes Back and even better in the Clone Wars programs.

The Empire puppet looked amazing then and still looks amazing today.

Timeless. And extraordinary.

Yoda has never been used to as great effect. Not even close.

hell, the empire puppet looks better than the episode 3 yoda! That puppet is timeless, and it looks completely real, he's older so he has less movement, and color has faded so he looks older.

It was an extraordinay leap in filmmaking effects:up:

so what exactly s this theard about anyways... just anything star wars? Or just the yoda puppet?

Mitch Hallock was there...money made it impossible for me. Where did you see it? Where were your seats and how much, (if you don't mind)?

I was at the Boston show and it was freakin' INCREDIBLE.Absolutely breathtaking to hear those tracks live. My seats where probably 100 yards or so from the stage they were perfect for such an event,Price...I think I paid about $160 for the two tickets.Well worth it.

Not sure if you've seen it or not but in the 'Ugly mugs of Raveners'' thread,There is a picture of me with the Han in Carbonite display from the show.I've got a few more pics from the show if anyone cares to see them.

I got to see John Williams conduct the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fischer Hall. Martin Scorsese and Steve Spielberg were hosts. The music in the first half was Bernard Herrmann scores, and the second half John Williams/Steven Spielberg colaborations. One of the encores was Star Wars.

Unfortunately no Raiders March, but they did an extended "lession" in film music using the Last Crusade prologue set to the film. It was very cool.

Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and John Williams in the same room? I'm so jealous of you at the moment Rocket Surgeon.

I'm so jealous of you at the moment Rocket Surgeon.It was everything you could have wanted, (virtually)from a wide variety of films. I got the songlist/schedule from an usher and the photos are posted on the Indy Cast flickr page. Screw it, here's a bit:

LucasArts and Traveller's Tales have announced the third Lego Star Wars title

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars will be developed by the same team that worked on previous games in the series, as well as Lego Indiana Jones. Lego Star Wars III will hit all formats in the Autumn. The game will combine elements from both the Star Wars films and spin-off Clone Wars animated series.
