Hi all.

I've been trying to trace the source of this sample for a few weeks now and so far I've drawn a blank, do any of you guys know where it might have come from or could you give me some advice on how I could track it down?

I'm particularly interested in any video/film footage that may have accompanied it originally as I am hoping to use it in an AV composition.

The sample is of someone saying "Rebel Base" and was used by Public Enemy in a track of theirs called "Hazy Shade Of Criminal" Here's an mp3, please feel free to check it out:

I've gone to some pretty extreme lengths to try and find this sample, even posting this track on various Sci Fi forums to ask people if they might recognise it. This did no good whatsoever, though I am now very well versed in the art of Fantasy Role Playing and oh yeah, also now benefit from having my very own "Hobbit" Title: "Marroc Gamgee-Took of Bywater" . . . . Thanks you guys ;) Oh and I would like to say just for the sake of getting this of my chest. . .

NO DJDMT!!! You may be a moderator but you know nothing about Return of the Jedi!! There wasn't even a Rebel base in Return of the friken Jedi so How could that possible be Admiral Ackbar!!!!!! :bang:!!

. . .

So, after Googling for many weeks now, using quote searches at IMDB etc, I have managed to narrow it down to a few possibles but you can never be sure, an educated guess leads me to believe that it may actually be from either Battlestar Galactica or Buck Rogers :roll: But there's like a gazillion episodes and I really don't know if I can take that much "Buck". I know they're both great etc but imagine if I get to the final episode, like number 50 or what ever and it wasn't on any of them, then what? :nutter: Uh hu. . . I could only just take the three starwars instalments that I had to sit through, I'm sill being haunted by those damned Ewoks god they were annoying!!


Look at them!!! They don't even look real!

And if I ever get to meet a damned Ewok, I'll show him just what he can do with his rebel base. and that Admiral Ackbar.

Though in actual fact there is a Rebel Base in Starwars and indeed in Empire strikes back also and the voice actor used in some of the scenes does sound very similar, though side by side comparison does in fact reveal that the sample is not from either of the first two movies.

I've also hit all the hip hop sample listing sites that might be of any use, and am now even considering approaching and if necessary bribing "The Imperial Grand Ministers of Funk" (The producers of the track) to tell me, Where the hell they got this f'cking sample!! :tantrum:

Please feel free to offer any suggestions, I would also appreciate moral support at this stage.

Regards - ni-cad.

Hey there....I'm gonna dig Star Wars out - you know, A New Hope? I think that sample you're asking about - it's out of that film......I just can't remember which part it is.....I reckon these are possibles.....when Vader and Tarkin are being told about "scout ships" finding the remains on Dantooine of a "rebel base".....or the Rebels' computer during the Battle of Yavin informing them about the Death Star's approach.....I'm gonna watch them and see if I got it right! Yeah....major Star Wars geek here:)))

Hey vurt, thanks for the pointer.

I searched IMDB and Wikipediea, there's no mention of any Rebel base in the plot outlines for any of the 13 episodes.

I've haven't seen any of the series though. Is there any episode in particular you think it might have appeared in?

it sounds similar to the voice of boba fett from that series is all i know.
i may be wrong, but it aint tarkin talkin about dantooine least not from the films.

there were a lot of 7 inch record type things released with books of mini tales too, could be from one of those, they all had weird voices for the characters you where used to :o
:ud:

ah right I'll have a look at some Droids, it seems to still be available on dvd, but I doubt i'd be able to do much with the cartoon footage, maybe if I was an animator but I only use film footage normally. Same for the spoken word, it's a shame but I can't really use it without footage.

Your right about Tarkin, I just checked again, it's not the battle computer either, it's to hi and monotone. I think I found around 7 in Star wars, but none of them matched up. Also though there is a Rebel base in Empire strikes back, the only time it's mentioned is by one of the AT-AT comanders and he's English so that rules that out, thats the lot, there aint none in Return to the Jedi.

I'm willing to bet it's Battle star Galactica, Buck Rogers or one of the spin offs like Droids or the spoken word plays..

Damn it, told you it was a tuff one. :)
