Very well done.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        On those laser shots from the jedi remote on the Falcon.  Those orange one start when Luke gets shot in the leg. There are only five shots.

I do have some questions about the shot when Luke walks to look at the twin suns. Is the sky one color or two? Looking at  different dvds some look like one but then I others look like two, can't really tell.

The ties engines are red but I don't think they were so obvious but that may be due to  high definition. 

 Just wanted to ask.

Thanks Harmy

I agree, 005.

hey harmy,

it was recently pointed out in the star wars legacy thread that the original end credits had a blue drop shadow.  have you thought about recreating it for your version 1.2?  I guess something good could come from that whole mike verta fiasco after all ;-)

Yeah, I like mine better, Mike's look fake to me. And I'll have DJ's credits for v1.2, so they should be even better.

I wouldn't say that at all... no offense, but your credits don't look too good and suffer a lot from upscale artifacts. I'm sure it would be possible to rebuild them to look more like the original (and I'm sure Mike's images are legit).

I thought Mike's were a recreation.

Anyway, for me, credits are so seriously unimportant a part of the film, that I would never put so much work into re-creating them. If someone makes them and at least two other people are willing to proof read them, I'd be willing to use them of course. But as I said, I'll be using DJ's Blu for v1.2, which is devoid of some of the artefacts present in Mattman's version, which I used in v1.0, so they should be better.

Actually I've been searching around for "things that need doing that don't require a great deal of technical expertise", and once I'm done with my current project, I could try my hand at a credits recreation.  I wouldn't have anything to show for a couple of years, though, I estimate, assuming I can even do it.  Interested people may want to try their own mini-projects to see if it's feasible.

I agree with you 100% on this Harmy, some here are getting way, way to damn nitpicky now, but like you said, they can make them themselves, I think some here forget what it is we are working with, and what we actually have at our disposal.

it was just a suggestion.  I don't think offering those is considered nitpicking.  If harmy feels like it isn't worth it then i understand

Of course it's nitpicking (or "detail oriented"), and thankfully it is!... I'd say that's what a successful project like this is about: Dealing with as many aspects as possible to get a product that's as close to perfect as possible. Hell, when I invest so much time in a project, I go the extra mile to fix the details as well... and Harmy working on a 1.2 of SW kinda proves that he feels the same way (even if the credits are excluded from that feeling ;-) ).

@ Dark_jedi: Somehow you always seem to be pissed off that your work (or in this case Harmy's, which utilized some of it) doesn't get appreciated more, and that people who point out flaws are ungrateful or something... what's up with that? There's so much creative power (not to mention ability!) around these forums, so why not listen to other people's ideas and suggestions, instead of feeling offended all the time?

So as to not muddy up Harmy's thread with the response I would like to give you, I am just going to bow down to your expertise handling of things Laserschwert, you do the credits proud and show us your work, I can't wait to see them, Thanks for doing this.

OH, and for the record, I couldn't care less if you appreciate what I do or not, if only 1 person likes my projects, I am happy, and it made it worth it.

Nice job, Laserschwert.

Now, in order to use these though, I'll need this at 25fps, with the SE starfield (which I guess is probably the same) and a slight blur to the text and even a bit more blur to the drop shadow, to make it look less CG. A slight gate-weave separate for the starfield and for the text could also be good.
