OggCamp 2019

There was an HPR presence at OggCamp 2019. This was held at The Manchester Conference Centre during the weekend of October 19th and 20th 2019. We had an HPR table, which was manned by many HPR hosts and received many visitors. Ken recorded interviews which will be released later in November.

Ken versus espeak

Which is preferable, the espeak show summary or Ken’s new reading of the information?

Watching Star Wars for the first time

A question: should it be watched in Episode or Production Order?

Ken's Voice Is Better Than espeak

For my part, Ken's reading of the opening info is far, far better than espeak. Then again, a screaming cat would be better. I've brought up what an incredible turn-off that espeak intro is to new listeners on the email list before, and was hooted down. But, if you're asking for opinions, well, this is mine.

Pots

Thanks for holding it down solo this month, Ken! And yes I did think of using a potentiometer instead of a resistor, but this clock's case didn't have much wiggle room and I wasn't up for anything more challenging. A volume knob for the alarm would be fantastic, for sure.

Release order or episode order?

I haven't rewatched all the movies myself but when I do, and I hope I will with my son at some point, it will be in Machete Order (so named because it was first described on the nomachetejuggling blog).

The explanation why is full of spoilers and you can find it online. In short, it takes the journey of one soul, reexamines it through the story of another, then joins the stories in a grand finale.

The order is: IV V II III VI and then episode order from then on. It papers over some of Lucas's worst narrative mistakes and ruins none of the surprises except one.

If this seems silly, then release order. The prequels require original trilogy (TOT) knowledge to fully enjoy, and they ruin important surprises in TOT, so episode order is just not the way.
