I have investigated a bit more on the Hangar Shoot out on the Death Star.
Here is my best guess and pretty confident this video below is a accurate Chronological edit of the scene (without repeated shots) I make mistakes like anyone else but the key word is “think” and don’t mind anyone pointing out an alternative.
Ok so what I found for the purpose of analysis was that upon the shot where the stormtrooper falls down the loading bay hole is the point of a repeated piece of footage discrepency of 30 frames exactly (1 second). So that means we have 30 frames more than we should have and not that there is anything missing… We have more than we need by 1 second repeated. This is a problem so far as the music is concerned…
There are a few points to note on the audio side.
In terms of the video I did, the Audio does need editing on it but it still works surprisingly well like this. I added the audio in the right place for “Come on!” said by Han and then by Leia in the right place (1st time) but it is repeated again later on in the Video. When it is repeated it needs to be ignored upon the shot where Leia mouths “Luke it’s too late” this is where the vocal needs to be moved to for this part and “Blast the door Kid”. but the music is as it should be or roughly correct only the dialogue needs to be moved.
In terms of getting the continuity correct for R2-D2 going up the ramp this is a swap shot and was obviously swapped out at a late stage. when you put this shot in the right order you notice R2-D2 beeping so the sound mix was done for at least that shot to be moved back in to it’s proper location on the timeline. also Leia behind the leg on the ramp. There is possibly more shots that work in terms of sound mix in different locations on the timeline also.
Anyway it’s not so much a suggestion but I like stuff like this and I find it interesting and If I had to guess what the 30 frames were that were repeated and possibly a goof I will tell you. IF there is an alternative 30 frames missing I would guess it would be either a simple extension to an existing shot or it was a close up of a storm trooper firing It really can’t be anything else but that would only concern the music (1 second). the 30 frames would fall on where Leia says “Luke Come on!” before the same take for “come on!” part is Repeated.
Anyway hope you enjoy the analysis and the rough edit and understand what I am trying to do and understand what happened with it.
Just noticing now that some of Leia waving her arms on the ramp is also repeated footage also… So it’s now more than 30 frames if there is a shot missing. Probably is a shot missing (small one) I would say now given the increased frames.
