RE: Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan?

I have to agree with you there^.

I ve notice that vader's buttons sometimes changing colors.

Even r2 is black and white in some parts.

But im so Impressed whad ady did with Vader's blinking chest lights that the rest of them are just side casualties.

 

Lol the face of leia. Is look like she says: my god, that a big .... (star)

Vader's chestplate has a big red and green button on the right and glowing red buttons on the left. In some scenes it looks like the green button on the right is blue.  Like here, this was taken from Revisited:

And here, the chest plate looks like it has plastic wrap on it in some shots:

 

 

 

And If You pause the movie at exactly 14:25 you can see william shatners coffee cup. RIGHT THERE ON THAT ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that there are people who still defend the Jabba scene in ANH-SE:

ChainsawAsh said:

I don't think putting Jabba in is necessary at all.

1) His scene becomes redundant with the lines of dialogue moved from there to Greedo's scene

2) Jabba comes across as a pushover who isn't dangerous in the slightest

3) The tail ... oh Christ the tail ...

4. This scene becomes the first time that we see the Millenium Falcon. That fact completely ruins the scene when Luke sees the Falcon for the first time and gets to exclaim "What a piece of Junk!".

5. There is a (two?) guy here that looks like and is dressed exactly like Greedo. What's up?

6. Why would Jabba contradict what Greedo says and let him off the hook? That removes the motivation why Han is so ruthlessly chased by Boba Fett later on.

7. Showing Jabba destroys the mystery around his character.

RE: Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan?

What's still bugging me about ANH sometimes is the imperial forces in general and Darth Vader in particular. Everything from his voice to his helmet to his characteristics and place in the chain of command. Lucas has mentioned that Vader is an equal of Tarkin. I don't know how this could be done, but something to make Vader seem like less of a flunky would be nice. He rooms around the Death Star corridors too much, he brings Leia to Tarkin like some kind of security guard, he allows officers to bad-mouth him, etc. Aside from that, his helmet is dull, lacking the shiny quality of the sequels and his voice is poor. Adywan improved it for the DVD 9 but it still sounds like he's just a dude with a helmet on. In all the other movies, the voice sounds as if it's generated by the life-support system. But I doubt anything short of a re-dub would completely get rid of this problem.

Aside from that, I find the ANH rank badges ilogical, random and impossible to decipher. I feel a switch to the ESB style badges would be preferable here. Making Tagge and Motti Moffs would be good too. Admirals and generals having such influence in the desision-making process doesn't mesh with the way they are treated as pawns in ESB and ROTJ.

The only thing I miss that has been removed for the Adywan version is the music from this shot:

Other than a few minor things I mentioned above, I think it's almost perfect. I would like to re-insert this shot back into the Adywan version. All I have for access to that shot right now is the '04 DVD and I don't think I can color correct it to exactly fit the rest of the color correction.

 

If you have the DVD9 of SW Revisited, there's a very similar shot in the final trailer that shows the TIEs firing. You could use that, and you'd just have to drop in some blaster sound effects.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

I would like to make these aliens blink as well as any other big eyed alien that doesn't have eye movement:

Not every creature needs to blink. They dont even have eyelids so in turn making them blink would make the characters themselves look "Fake" not everything on our planet blinks.

Yes, looks like Adywan decided to scrap this shot. I think it is prettty good. I might try to incorperate it. I think he didn't like it because all the Tie fighters look too coordinated.

Yeah and the way they are moving that one that shot is gonna hit the one in front of it.

I never noticed that giant mouse creature sitting by the table until now. It looks so forlorn, I feel sorry for it.

Mouse creature?  That's Snaggletooth, of original Action Figure fame!  Actually, as a kid I always figured his scenes wound up on the cutting room floor (you also see him when Luke and the droids enter the joint) since we never saw him in the movie.  Turns out he was a victim of the pan-and-scan VHS release which was the only way I watched SW after '77 until I got the letterbox Faces set.

While we are talking about Vader's chestplate, while it's great to see the lights that Ady added I'm not sure if the right colour tones were used and they may require correction (the same goes for Artoo's light the blue light seems to be too green and not blue enough).

I would like to see the AOTC display lights added to the garage and (if the area appears in the film, which I'm not sure about) it would be nice if the family graveyard was put in as a little reminder of Anakin's mum and presumably his stepfather.

 

I thought those Lars garage lights were simply not on or burnt out. And there is no shot in ANH where you would see the tombstone where they were in AOTC, there is a wide shot next to the sandcrawler that comes close, but not quite.

Truth is no matter what more is done with ANH, there still would people wanting more.

RE: Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan?

Just throwing in my two cents here, but how about medals for the droids?

And why not?  Without R2 and 3PO, Luke would still be on Tattooine, Leia would still be held prisoner, Han and Chewie would still be making Kessel runs...and most of all if the four of them did somehow unite, they would never have gotten out of that trash compactor alive.

Tons of info here, all interesting, some goofy: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/IG-88

And I like that concept drawing better than the final in some ways.
