So, once again, we have the wonderful bias of theforce.net:

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Star_Wars_Summer_Class_At_Kids_College_114545.asp

As always, they are more than happy to post things like this... yet despite my numerous past attempts to have them post about *ANYTHING* regarding Balance of Power... have naturally gone unanswered.

What a peace a chip. :)

Also... although this is more IRONIC... some rehearsal footage (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9yWPO3Cx1OM) (of Novastar v Necrolosis) that Kit Fisto/Illbeats/Abbor from FX-sabers.com rotoscoped with red sabers has been viewed THIRTEEN times more than the actual BOP II performance.

Additionally, this rotoscoped "go through the motions" rehearsal has been watched 10,000 more times than BOP I itself (which CONTAINED the actual battle)... !!!!!!!

It just goes to show... things is REALLY weird out there. REALLY really really weird.

Maybe it means people don't have the attention span to "wait" until the battles come... or maybe they just want to see rotoscoping... or maybe it's just a question of special marketing and such.

Confused I am. ;)

Confusing indeed.
Maybe you could get them to watch BOP if it was Rotoscoped? But that defeats the point of it being live with luxeon sabers.

Seems they're only interested in stuff if its rotoscoped or using MR sabers.

Nova,
I know what you mean, I've seen a few websites (I won't mention who) but it seems all the people want are spinning videos and rotoscoped blades. They don't care about actual talent or hard work put into a movie or script or whatnot. I think they forget why lightsabers are here in the first place....NOT just for spinning, but is the weapon of the Jedi in one of the best stories ever.

I actually found an ad on that page more interesting than the atricle:
