Having just recently restored a music cue for destruction of Alderaan and realised I made a Mistake on sound effects for the particular scene…
Well the sound effects are a bit different each time.
For the destruction of Alderaan the Control room guy pulling the overhead switch sound effect is missing. This is present at the end of star wars though. And there is a sound in Return of the Jedi for the overhead switch but different.
The Guy who pulls the Lever on the control Desk at the Alderaan destruction the cool noise where it goes “Beeeeooooooo” (Same a tractor beam deactivation) happens after the Lever is pulled down at the end of a new hope it happens during the Lever Pull down in ROTJ we do not hear it at all!
Return of the Jedi has a kind of Whirring buildup in the control room which seems to have been planned from the original conception of Star Wars but dismissed in the first film.
As far as the Firing Cone goes the Laser is emitted after the formed cone in Star Wars but in ROTJ comes out the hole in the middle of the dish and through the triangle cone.
Rogue One copies Star Wars on the Laser…
But you Must Decide are the guys in the Laser Tunnel in the Middle of The Dish? Or are they on one of the Triangle points for the cone? Yeah it don’t matter but it does if you have the Super Laser coming out the middle of the Dish… I think better to stick with the original version of the weapon?!?
Also Look at the control Room Helmet… If Rogue one is correct that means some of the control room shots are flipped because of matey boy’s Radio gizmo on his helmet 😃 At a loss for knowing which side is right for the helmet confused now! Seems to be that the original helmet has the antenna on it’s left side… So I will trust that.
The Laser Core is no longer Yellow by ROTJ
Don’t trust the color of the Yavin Buttons! it is out on Hue
