Well, at least we got that out of the way quickly

[crumbs 14,301]

Quickly? It's already 4.43pm on April 1 here!

I knew what to expect when I clicked.

I was using CST time, but was about a half hour late because my set notification on Windows 10 didn't pop up.

Hey, I didn't wanna do it. But it's an obligation at this point!

[pete 905]

Drats!

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

It's finally happening!!

Sorry

I think "SW and Indy expansions are imminent!" threads on April 1st are so inevitable that they aren't funny anymore. The first thing a Williams fan will do when they see such threads is to check to see if today is April Fool's.

 

If one wanted to make a truly cruel, heartbreaking April Fool's prank, then use a JW holy grail that is easier to expand than SW and IJ, like The Patriot or the ellusive "The John Williams Oliver Stone collection". The amount of people who'd open these threads thinking they're the real deal only to be confronted with the fact that today is April Fool's would be incredible.

Yeah, at least... 50!

[Holko 9,499]

Oh damn,  just listened to it, at least you were nice and creative!

If you think this is lazy, the last ~3 years I've just been bumping the same thread from 2019(?) 

The voice clip was really meant to be the funny part this year, not so much the "trick" itself.

 

A great idea for next year though.....

Very well done voices. How did you do them?

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

I didn't click it🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

That's a lot of Labrador's

I remember the first time you guys did this.

 

Won't get fooled again

[King Mark 3,625]

We can keep this April's Fool joke going for at least 50 more years.

I knew the subject title was an April Fool's but I actually did think that you got Tim and Mike to record this, and I was wondering who the hell was hiding such a good Spielberg impression. The Williams voice is way off though  sounds like David Cronenberg! Lucas also sounds great. 

[bollemanneke 3,337]

I briefly forgot it's 1 April today.

[michael_grig 464]

This is so much better than the AI presidents!

[Jay 37,287]

Brilliant! 

[JohnnyD 1,220]

When the expansions eventually become a reality:

 

Honestly, though, when they are officially announced, the one responsible for doing this recurring and quite frankly LONG, TIRESOME AND POINTLESS “joke” will…Ah, who am I kidding?

[Andy 4,085]

That was FREAKING AWESOME!   I’m dying. 
 

Wait, so you did the voices and just ran them through Elevenlabs?  I have new software to try now. 
 

That was bloody brilliant and made my day!

 

Fabelmans 2! 

[A. A. Ron 1,738]

I actually logged in to the forum this morning just to get it out of the way and see whatever prank thread had been setup, but now I’m glad I did. Those voices are great! Very impressive.

This is fantastic news.

 

Jay when the time comes can we get separate threads for music discussion, album cover design, and shipping notifications?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,498]

@Manakin Skywalker has, clearly, won the "Most popular post" accolade for April 1st...and that's no joke.

[Datameister 2,037]

What's Star Wars?

[Jurassic Shark 12,030]

Who's Star Wars?

[ZenLogic101 4]

Why's Star Wars?

[Chewy 2,376]

I wonder what Mike will think of this 

Probably something like: "These people at JWFan are so crazy..."

 

Well done Manakin!

I'm sure Manakin has a recording of his reaction!

[Bellosh 3,389]

I love the idea (not sure if intended) of manakin using the word expansion, as to say they still wouldn't be fully fucking complete 😂

[aj_vader 533]

I forgot the date and got excited. Cruel. Now I'm low again 👍 back to normal.

People asking who, what or why's Star Wars, but nobody asking how's Star Wars. smh

That is a blatant lie, but I’m glad you listened to me and still posted it

[pete 905]

That was the most well done ever in the whole history of this site! It had me fooled for about 30 seconds! And I thought I was immune!

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

[Sweeping Strings 2,344]

Impressive work, certainly. But broadly speaking, I don't like April Fool's Day ... to me, it seems to be very popular amongst those without an actual sense of humour.  

[Richard Penna 3,671]

The title had me for a few moments before I realised the date - April crept up!

 

But those voices.... technology is amazing! How does it work? Do you provide samples of the original voices and then the text you want?

 

For the record, when it does eventually happen, it better not be a 25 disc set!

You’re right, it needs to be 30 discs!!!

[Andy 4,085]

@Manakin SkywalkerJust so you know, mother in law was asking me to explain AI to her and I used your audio as an example. 
 

When we do eventually get IJ and SW expansions, I’m adding this as a bonus track as a reminder of the long struggle.

Pretty much, yes!

What a tradition! Well done @Manakin Skywalker!
