Glorious work thusfar, Adywan! I know that I likely am parroting much of what has already been said, but I really like what we've seen and eagerly await the finished product.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, Adywan, the entire Star Wars Revisited team, and to everyone on the OT.com forums!

(PS: Ady, is the knobby white spider CGI or stop-motion?)

Keep up the good work, Ady! I don't post here nearly often enough, but I do try to catch every update. It's looking top-shelf! All the work and wait will be more than worth it in the end.

I don't think that a split-screen would be a viable idea for ESB:R. I know that owning a copy of the film being fan-editted is pretty much mandatory for a person looking to own a copy of said fan edit, but I can't help but feel that actually including a copy of the original film with the fan edit, even at a lower resolution, would be a step too far.

Also, get well soon, Adywan!

Bringing up the earlier topic of the sudden blast marks on the AT-AT's side:

Rewatching Adywan's magnificent work on this clip, I noticed that there are actually FOUR blast marks that appear that do not correspond to any snowspeeder laser blasts:

It was kinda difficult to make out the first and third strikes to appear. Maybe further study should be made as to what to do here. The easiest thing would probably be to erase the scorch marks and (maybe) make new ones that correspond to where Luke blasts it.

adywan, I also meant to ask about this shot from the 'chasm' duel scene too -  Is it possible to add a momentary effect of 'fabric burning' and brief hint of 'smoking cauterization' to Luke's sleeve/severed wrist here, somewhat like was seen on your ANH:R 'arm'?...

 

Knowing Adywan, that is one thing that is high on his to-do list, if it hasn't been done already.

It's looking promising, Ady!

That shot looks good as is. Only add the lights if it wouldn't be too much hassle.

Also, I too believe the usage of the word 'revisited' in the Blu-ray article was a deliberate reference.

My deepest and sincerest condolences, Ady.

Ouch. One thing after another, huh, Ady? Well, don't worry about us; this project is secondary compared to family.

Congratulations, Ady!

Also, good work thus far on the released images.

Sorry Ady I couldn't resist using your new Footage over my old mock-up:

The Emperor says "luke"......still needs adjusting, but its not too bad as a concept.

"Luke" taken from here;

Hee-hee~! That sounds really good there. I will honestly be quite surprised if the final ESB:R release does not follow that trend.

...I really need to find that Musical Journey DVD again...

Well... I forget to visit for a couple days, and a ton of crap happens.

Hoping everything is going well with you and yours, Ady.

I wish I could make some sort of suggestion about ESB, but I can't think of anything. I can't help feeling a little useless...

A little more echo on "Luke Skywalker" and it'd be perfect!

I pray for you and your father, Ady.

I'm with Bingowings. I think the med droid just said that as he could've have talked about the weather.

To me, that scene always sounded like when, in real life, the doctor fills with some trivial remark that silent moment that almost always happens as the patient finishes dressing up :)

I have personally seen situations like this, having been to the doctor's a couple times the past few months. Acne issues.

Me and the doctor would occasionally switch to casual talk outside of the reason for my visit. I don't remember what, but still...

Just some secondary verification.

New pic time.

There's still a lot more to do with this shot yet but here's how it's coming along (right click>view image to see it a little larger)

Niii~ice!

The background activity will sell that as being a big transport when it's added!

I thought they smelled bad.....on the outside.

Maybe it's like garlic: has a horrible smell, but a great taste.

*digs in*

There's also the fact that much of the plot of the OT is technologically-driven, namely the Death Stars, and that in general war accelerates technological development.

This is EXACTLY how I see it. The panache and beauty of the galaxy deteriorates as the Empire builds up an invincible war machine. I can only imagine that Coruscant would look quite different from Episode III (read: more militaristic) if it was seen in the later episodes... I mean, apart from the celebration at the end of RotJ.

I would never edit using the original codec of a Blu-ray or DVD as it can cause a lot of problems. I always convert the video to lossless avi using the lagarith codec.

I won't be using any deleted scenes off the blu-ray for ESB:R no matter what scenes it may contain because for one it won't be out in time and secondly i really don't think ESB needs anything added and the SE is a good example of that. ROTJ:R may be a different matter altogether though

Huh. And I was just about to tell you guys that the SW saga is being released on Blu-Ray in fall 2011 (same time frame as Avatar: The Legend of Korra, incidentally), but I see that it's old news now.

I assume you mean scenes like Luke building his lightsaber?

brash_stryker said:

Does it say much about my lack of a life that I found myself dreaming about Revisited last night?

Actually it was more of a nightmare...

Ady had decided that as Empire was the only movie that didn't feature Tatooine, he was going to add a scene set there right at the start of the movie.

It had AT-ATs (thus ruining the impact of their appearance through the binoculars on Hoth)

And they galloped just like in that famous Robot Chicken skit:

What's more. Everyone here seemed to love it.

I woke up screaming.

...ok that part might not be true. Still, pretty scary.

That would be scary.

...the galloping AT-ATs, I mean.

Happy Birthday, Ady!

I just sent a friend request to you on Facebook, Ady.

Hope your dad had a fine birthday. I don't know many people who live to such an age.

(Incidentally, my birthday is coming up on Wednesday.)

Was that that Millennium Falcon model you bought being used there? The shot looks fantastic!

Uniform TIE variations color would be better I'd think. Grey it up! =D

I believe Ady said that the new TIEs introduced from ESB onward will be blue, but the TIE Fighters themselves will remain (or rather, become) gray.

Also, to Ady,

My thoughts are with you and your family. I cannot pretend to know what it's like to lose a mother, but... just know that this project can wait. If you don't feel like working on it, don't worry about it. Real life takes precedent over side projects.

God bless. And godspeed.

It's remarkable sometimes how quickly the human can recover from illness and injury. I can't think of any situations off the top of my head, but it has happened before, and I am glad for it.

Happy Christmas, Adywan! May the Force be with you!
