I don't get it. What's wrong with the pink flashes?

I prefer the plain white flashes as i remeber them before the 2004 DVDs. White flashes just seems to look more natural than pink.

I just notices that when Tarkin explains that the Emperor has disolved the senate that one of the officers at the bottom left mouths some dialogue so i have added a line taken from the radio play that matches his mouth movement.



The lasers, especially in the Death Star battle, were pretty badly composited. Sometimes the TIE & turret lasers were bright green with a yellow core then some weren't coloured and some even had a blue outer glow. I took the most coloured shots as reference for the re-colouring. The shot just after Luke says "This is Red 5. I'm going in" shows The intensity of the X-wing lasers. The shots below have been untouched to help explain it better:

Could I recommend something for the sheilds in the death star hangar bay? I got to say I love that you rampped up the lights on them. Maybe they could actually dim as the falcon passes through? It has always bothered me that they never really did anything.

And I know I for sure would like to see a list of ALL your tweaks, however minor.

there isn't a full list as yet because i'm finding minor things all the time but here's whats been fixed / changed so far (well as much as i can remember at the moments anyway):

All laser blasts repainted.
Lightsabers repainted.
"Pink" blast flashes are now white.
R2-D2 jump cuts aboard the Tantive V smoothed or fixed.
Changed the line "there'll be no escape for the princess this time" to just "there'll be no escape this time" because when luke sees the hologram 3P0 doesn't know who she is.
A close up shot of a Rebel trooper being hit had a laser coming out of scope part of the gun by mistake. I've painted out the blast and added a blast that hits him because originally he dies without being hit.
While 3P0 is looking for R2 a rebel trooper falls as if he's been hit but no lasers & 3P0 turns as if reacting to something. Added a background flash and a few lasers as the troops retreat and 3P0's reaction looks better.
When R2 arm opens the pod door it dissappears in the next shot. The arm can now be seen to retract.
Fixed 3P0's blinking eyes in the sandcrawler.
Slightly reedited the scene where the Jawas sell the droids to fix the continuity error of the reappearing red R2 unit behind R2-D2.
Filtered Beru's voice while sitting at the table to give it a more natural feel instead of the overdubbed studio feel and slightly resynced the line "he has to much of his father in him to omit the pause before "father" and give it better lip sync.
Smoothed out a jump cut when luke ignites his saber at Ben's home and the saber can now be seen to ignite
When Tarkin enters and explains that the Emperor has disolved the council the bottom right officer can clearly be seen mouthing a line. I've added a line from the Radio play that syncs his mouth movements.
Batboy's eyes are no longer transparent in the Cantina.
Han shoots first.
Fixed a continuity error in the Jabba scene where Chewie can be seen clearly behind Han by the Falcon but cuts away to a shot of Chewie walking from the entrance and next shot he is back behind Han.
Radar dish on the falcon in docking bay 94 added (many thanks to Darth Editous)
As the falcon escapes Tatooine a few explosions can be seen through the cockpit window but nothing creates them. I've added a few lasers to fix this.
The shot of Tarkin standing in front of a poorly projected static viewscreen on the Death Star as it approaches Alderaan has been altered so that the viewscreen now has a motion picture than matches the rest of the sequence.
The conversation between Tarkin & Leia has been equalised so there isn't a noticable audio difference between shots.
Fixed a jump cut when Luke turns off his saber aboard the falcon and you can see the blade retract.
Smoothed the jump cut when Luke ignites his saber while wearing the helmet with a morph.
Before Tarkin says the line "terminate her immediately" Vader can be seen gesturing where a line had been cut. He no longer gestures.
When the TIE flys over the falcon after it it has left hyperspace you can see a couple of blasts through the falcons cockpit window but again nothing creates them. Added lasers to fix this.
Enhanced the glow of the Death Star docking bay widow which eliminates the gap in the glow at the bottom.
Fixed an Imperial's shirt colour continuity error while Han, Luke & Chewie wait for the lift.
The tractor beam matte painting has been fixed
Fixed some frames where Ben & Vader's sabers swap colours.
When the falcon is seen leaving the Death star docking bay it always seems to be going to slow as it blasts away. The Falcon now retreats faster.
Matt boxes around TIEs have been fixed
Changed the camera shake when Luke and Han are in the gun turrets by adding motion blur and a created a less linear shake.
reframed a shot of a Tie figher approaching the camera where about 1/5th of the right side of the frame was missing.
Darth Editous' new Death Star schematic has been inserted so the weapon bowl is now in the correct place ( more thanks)
When Red Leader crashes into the Death Star you can now see his X-wing crashing instead of just an explosion.
When the Ties first approach they now begin to fire.
The shot of the Imperials firing the turret guns , even though the lasers are green, the room is lit with blue flashes. I've recoloured this so that the room is now lit with green flashes.
The Death Star clock now displays the correct countdown ( thanks again to Darth Editous)
Slightly recoloured some of the ship explosions to eliminate the pink tint.
Whe R2 is hit it cuts to a shot of Luke in the cockpit but R2 looks fine. You now see the smoke coming from R2 out of the rear cockpit window.
A couple of shots prior to the Death Star exploding have been rearranged or added . this is due to the fact that the Death Star now can be seen to begin to fire just as it explodes.
I've eliminated the horrible blue glow around the explosion of the Death Star.
As Vader straightens up and flies into the distance I've added the Superstardestroyer in the background.

The audio track had been redone using the original 5.1 DVD soundtrack with its reversed rear music channels fixed and new effect elements added to enhance the surround experience and the sub channel has been lowered slighly because it was just way too loud for.
A few new music cues most notably Darth Vaders theme has been added.
The surround channels during a lot of the film has music only and no ambient sounds yet other scenes it has. I've added ambient sounds for the missing parts, most notably the Cantina sequence now sounds fuller.
Slight gaps during scene changes in the music and audio has been fixed

There is more but i just can't think of any off hand at the moment but it'll give you an idea

Any plans on removing the rear window from Vader's TIE cockpit? It's obvious they used the same set for his cockpit as the regular TIEs. Regular TIE's have a rear window, whereas Vader's TIE model does not. I'm not positive, but I think this may only be an issue right before Vader spins out of control in the trench.

Adywan,

I really gotta get me one of your DVDs. This is shaping up to be one of the better SE reimaginings around. Please do an NTSC version!

I'll do both PAL & NTSC but the Pal one will be finished First.

How about a fix on the overall color balance for the complete movie? It would be nice if the stormtroopers armor was white and not bluish-white....LOL

So does the list actually say that we see the superlaser power up (from the outside) before the DS blows up?

"Changed the line "there'll be no escape for the princess this time" to just "there'll be no escape this time" because when luke sees the hologram 3P0 doesn't know who she is."

I had a look at this and you cannot see anything through the window so it could easily be explained away as part of the cockpit design so i won't be changing this.
