Bast in Star Wars: Behind the Magic
Hey JMAS, seeing Mauser's talk page, do you have access to Behind the Magic? I need to know Bast and Vader's changed dialogue in the holiday special, and their one line in the deleted scene from ANH. Thanks man :)  JangFett  Talk 18:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Image of Saul Karath
Hello, JMAS. I wanted to ask you if [this image from this site would be OK for you to upload. I'm working on improving Karath's article, and thought this would be a good addition for the article. It seems legit.--[[User:Jedi Kasra|Jedi Kasra]] (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I'm certain that it is official, considering the LA logo on the image, but that site is not an officially licensed site, so unless you can verify that at some point, it used to be on the official LucasArts site, so I can put that as the original source, with the new site link as the current location, I'm not sure it will fly. Might want to ask an admin about it, like Toprawa and Ralltiir maybe. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Bail Organa speeder image
"Do you see how blurry that is?"

Only at its full size, which is nearly three thousand pixels larger than the other upload. If you see them at equal sizes, you'll see that my upload is a vast improvement. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How it us judged here is by how it looks at full size. I'm not saying I completely agree with that, but that is the standard. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Then I'd say that that DVD images from the OT should be used rather than the supposed "HD" versions, because the only "HD" versions that have been shown are simply upscales and poor ones. The DVD images definitely look better than the HD ones at their full size. Would you be fine with it if I shrunk the Bail image I uploaded to 1920x1080? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Darth Culator would be who'd I'd suggest you ask. What I can tell you is this: Taking an image that is native size of, say for example, 1920x1080 resolution and simply blowing it up to 3400px by whatever resolution is bad, and make a horrible image quality. Taking that blown up image and simply shrinking it down to a smaller size isn't going to improve the quality of the image. Culator, I believe, has all 6 films in HD. You might want to ask him if he is able to get an actual 1080p resolution screencap of that to replace it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't upscale it to whatever resolution it was myself, it was actually released in February, 2005 and I and found it in that exact resolution on several sites. It was also the same spoiler report I got this image from and that good even in its full resolution. I can tell you for sure that it will look better than the aired HD version, because correctly if I'm wrong, judging by images such as this one, that too was just an upscaled DVD version. And from what I can tell, the 3000/4000px images are 1080p upscales. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt you, and I know as I have many images from sites like that as well. What I can tell you is that in the past, where I did the exact same thing you did, someone reverted it, usually with a snide remark to go with it, and the old revisions were deleted. With that said, I do apologize if my reversion remarks were harsh or snide. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 00:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It really depends on where it comes from. The HD releases of the prequel and original trilogy were proper high-def video, as they rescanned episodes 1 and 4-6 from the original negative to a 1920x1080p format (and 35mm film is natively higher resolution than 1080p) and episodes 2 and 3 were 1080-digital to begin with. They actually made a bit of a fuss about it when they came out back in 2006 (at least I heard a lot of fuss since I work for a cable company). But publicity stills made from individual film frames could be scanned for reprinting at as high as 600 DPI (if I remember correctly) which would translate to about 4800 pixels wide, assuming you find one that's natively that big rather than just a blown-up 480p or 1080i/p frame, which would be very rare. Then things get especially confusing when you throw in scenes that are entirely CGI, because those were rendered higher than the release format so I have no idea how big they could actually get, again assuming that you get them in a naturally large format rather than just upscaled. I know some of the episode 2 and 3 scenes that got released as wallpapers could be as big as 2560 pixels wide without showing signs of pixelation. (As far as TCW goes, I think the best we can do with any degree of certainty is the Blu-Ray release.) Also, there's the fact that there are really two different releases of the movies in HD, the North American version and the European version. The European version was both MPEG-4 and higher bandwidth compared to the MPEG-2 version that HBO released in North America, so the European version is both sharper and has better color range, but still maxes out at 1920x1080 (which translates to 1920x816 with the letterboxing), and I still haven't found a copy of the European versions that I trust, so all my shots have to be cleaned up a bit (artifacts and contrast, mostly). Finally, and I'm pretty sure this is the last thing, there's both an original-aspect-ratio release and a cropped 16x9 release of all six films. I've never gotten an answer from anyone who would actually know, but I'm pretty sure the 1080/1.78:1 release is upscaled from the 1080/2.35:1 stock. So, the TL;DR version: We're really better off not going any bigger than 1920 pixels wide for any given film frame unless we're certain of the source, and we can't be certain of most (nearly all, really) websites. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Rise of The Bounty Hunters
hi there again. I'm looking for a user pic to replace the anakin & 501st one i've got now. Are you able to get the picture of the bounty hunters from CN.com? If you are able, i'll get rid of the 501st one, and it can be marked for deletion, but if not i'll just keep it. thanks.--Kigon 20:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Kreia mini image
Hey, JMAS, can you upload this image of Kreia's mini? Thanks. Also, I'd appreciate it if you could upload this image of Darth Revan and this image of Squint and and this image of Darth Malak. Again, thank you.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 18:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JMAS.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 23:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your involvement.  CC7567  (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Image request
Sorry to bother you with another requets, but I need images for a bunch of articles. There's no need to upload anything just a bunch of articles could benefit from more images: As you can see, they all cover pretty much the same topic, and all could benefit from more images. You must know out existing image database pretty well, so I'm asking if you could just re-use some of the existing ones for those articles. Basically, everything Force-related will do. Thanks in advance. P.S. Did you notice the Galactic Hunters response I left on my talk page? Mauser  Comlink 11:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The Force
 * Living Force
 * Light side of the Force
 * Unifying Force
 * Potentium
 * Way of the Dark
 * Working on the rest, but I've got to admit, I'm at a loss for what image would suit the Unifying Force article. Any thoughts or suggestions? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No idea actually. Well, that article is a small ones, guess it can do without an image for now.  Mauser  Comlink 22:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Nist
Hey, JMAS. I've noticed that you have the audio dramatization of Dark Empire II listed in your collection. I'm currently working on Xecr Nist and trying to discover who portrayed him there. Myself, I only have MP3 files ripped from the actual CD, and while the narrator lists some voice actors at the end, the one who portrayed Nist is not among them. I suppose that his name may be written somewhere on the CD itself or something. Could you please check it? Thanks, QuiGonJinn  (Talk) 13:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm in the same boat as yourself. I have the MP3 files myself. :) Might try Xicer9. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Ben
I checked it over, and it looks good. Thanks.  IFYLOFD  ( You will pay the price for your lack of vision! ) 01:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Dyer
Hey JMAS, when you have time, could you obtain an image of Dyer? The current infobox image is an older one and he has his mouth open. Mauser suggested a new image of Dyer with his mouth closed.  JangFett  Talk 17:58, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

TCW image request
If you get the time, could you get a better version of this image? It's not particularly what I'd call quality, but I can't get it any better. Thanks.  CC7567  (talk) 00:58, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ugh...apparently it's going to turn out horrible no matter what we do. I'm just going to remove it from Skirmish at Vanqor; it can't be helped. Thanks anyway.  CC7567  (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, but I'll have to see how it turns out before adding it to the article. I don't want the article to get too image-heavy.  CC7567  (talk) 21:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks man for catching that error :)  JangFett  Talk 14:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Darth Bane Image

 * You'll see no complaints from me - I prefer the new image. QuentinGeorge 09:30, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Star Tours Images
Sorry about forgetting to categories my Star Tours images, I'll try and remember to do so with the rest, I'm heading back there today to get images of the droids we need images for.Natonstan 13:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * With the exception of the image description, please remember to copy the information template virtually identically to how I have now updated yours on any subsequent ST images you upload. Please don't attempt to fill out any of the category fields unless you are familiar with how to do so properly. If you don't do it, don't worry, someone else will fill them in for ya. Have fun. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah ok Thanks for all the help! Natonstan 14:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * When reuploading the image should I just upload it over the cropped image waiting to be moved?Natonstan 14:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. Though, did you just crop down the image, or did you actually shrink it? If you didn't actually shrink the image size, but just cropped it down to the current size, then just re-crop it down to 250px wide and yes, re-upload it over the existing image. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I Cropped the image as the droid was on the right side of the actual photo, I can crop it to 250px wide thoughNatonstan 14:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be great. Thanks. That way it fits in will fill the infobox for the R3-D3 article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Green Company
Hey JMAS, could you upload a image of Green Company from "Cloak of Darkness"? The scene is when Green Company runs toward the Tranquility ' s hangar, after Gree tells them to "Repel the enemy".  JangFett  Talk 22:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There you go. Because they are running, out of several shots I tried, this was the least motion-blurred. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:48, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks JMAS :) This will work.  JangFett  Talk 17:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Extinction
Hmm...how do you want to do this then? If you feel you've got one of sufficient quality, go ahead & scan it & I'll cancel my request of Red. Of course, if he feels he can provide a better one he'll just upload a new version anyway, but I don't mind you helping me out one bit. I just don't want to run into a conflict like we did in the past...lol. Let me know what you think. —Tommy9281  ( Talk ) 19:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey. Take a look at the quote here, and then look at the one here. What's up with that? Are there differences between the actual comic and the collected version in Star Wars Tales 2? And actually, I don't want that image I asked Red for anymore, so I'm going to tell him not to scan it. You don't have to either, of course. I'm just going to use what we've already got. Thanks. —Tommy9281 Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Talk ) 04:48, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There must be. I have the collected edition in Star Wars Tales Volume 1 which is where all my scans from Extinction came from. The quote you have in the article is nowhere in the SWT Vol 1 version. She never calls him Anakin, only Skywalker. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 05:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So the combined Extinction version was released after the Star Wars Tales one? That's interesting. I wonder why they would change the dialogue up. Anyway, I was thinking I'd need to add a BtS note myself, but I didn't have the full conversation to do so from. I wouldn't mind the scan when you get home, but if you feel so inclined, by all means&mdash;feel free to add a note in the BtS. I'll take whatever help I can get. Thanks alot. —Tommy9281 Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Talk ) 14:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The original release was split into two parts. The first half was in Star Wars Tales 1 and the second half was in Star Wars Tales 2. Then they were combined in the TPB commpilation of Star Wars Tales Volume 1, which is where they changed it. I'm assuming you own the individual SWT issues 1 and 2? Because I don't own those, I can't confirm thee quote you have in the article now. All I know is, that dialogue is found nowhere in the combined version that I have in the TPB. And why they would change the wording is a mystery to me. As it's your article, I'll leave the wording of a Bts note to you, but you can see how I worded my note in the BtS section of the Extinction article to see the differing dialogue. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:47, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I've got the two separate ones. I've added a BtS note reflecting the differences. Thanks again for all your help. —Tommy9281 Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Talk ) 15:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey go for it, and ignore the inuse tag. —Tommy9281 Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Talk ) 15:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) ******Nah, like I said earlier, I'm just going to go ahead with images we've already got on site. I already asked Red to disregard the request. Thanks though for your willingness to be there for me. —Tommy9281 Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Talk ) 18:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Adding sound clips to QOTDs
Feel free to add a sound file. There shouldn't be a formatting problem as long as you replace Quote with Qlisten and Dialogue with Dialoguelisten and Dialogue2 with Dialogue2listen. If the quote happens to be a dialogue more complex than that, you'll need to futz with the internal coding. Enochf 15:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Green Leader
Thank you for adding the audio file in Axe :) If you don't mind, could you also find audio files for Green Leader? The two quotes that have been spoken by him are in the article. Thanks JMAS.  JangFett  Talk 20:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Voila :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 20:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you JMAS, and thank you for moving the article to "Green Leader (clone)." It keeps it consistent with the other clone articles that have "(clone)" in their article titles. :)  JangFett  Talk 21:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Clones
Are you sure that the "(clone)" suffix is better than the "(clone trooper)"? There were other clones in the galaxy: Palpatine clones, Imperial non-Fett clones, Trawn's Spaarti clones etc. The "(clone trooper)" cleary says that this individual was a Fett clone who fought in the Clone Wars and therefore is less ambigous. Perharps Slick and Axe should be moved to this version instead?  Mauser  Comlink 01:29, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't think of that. I just selected the precedent that I saw more instances of, which was using just (clone). Honestly, in the long run, I don't see it making a difference. In a way it's setting a precedent that any clone uses the (clone) designator, so it's across the board. The intro to any article is going to immediately indicate that they were clone troopers of the Fett line. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, the intro will clarify the issue, but when naming the article we should pick most descriptive names. We have Unidentified clone trooper, not Unidentified clone conjecture articles.  Mauser  Comlink 01:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * True. Hmm. Not sure on it. I've now got them all at (clone). Not sure if this is worth a CT or not though. *shrug* If you feel that strongly about it, you can create a CT about it, or you can revert all the moves I just did, though many of them done by others previously will require an admin deleting a page to make way for a move back. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think this matter is not worth a CT. Since we now both agree that "Clone trooper" is more descriptive, let's just move them back and set a new precedent.  Mauser  Comlink 01:47, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if you move them back, make sure it's at (clone trooper), don't capitalize the C in clone. ;) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yub yub, commander! =)  Mauser  Comlink 01:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Recent edits
I apologize for the mistake with the blue,yellow, and red battle droid thing. I thought they were B1 Battle droids. I did not mean any sort of vandalism to wookiepedia.So please accept my mistake and take my apology.

Unidentified Sith (Sacking of Coruscant)
Until the guy in the wallpaper is confirmed to be the same Sith as the one in the trailer, do not change/move the article. Additionally, I dislike being left out of the decision-making in this particular case, given that I GA'd this character. So kindly, do not do anything like that again without first talking to me&mdash;especially given the fact that it's speculation (and fanon) to say both Sith are the same. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 20:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And maybe I'm misinterpreting what you've done. If you're implying that the Coruscant Sith is a Warrior just because both Sith look similar, I'd still rather not call him a Sith Warrior until some source actually does. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 20:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I do apologize for jumping the gun and not bringing it up with you. Look at the face, at the mouthpiece, at the chest piece, at the entire outfit - the two are identical. Also, if you look at the HoloNet representation of the Sith Warrior class ... no the same individual. So that fact that the identical-looking character is portrayed on the wallpaper... it's all but certainly the same person. But, once again, I am sorry for stepping on toes. Was not my intention. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Excellent
I saw you uploaded a image of Crystal City last night. The article is one of my projects for WP:TCW and this image works perfectly for it. Thank you, JMAS. :)  JangFett  Talk 14:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
