I am not confused, I just don’t think it is needed now I have thought about it. It throws up more than about 5 questions.
Where as if it was silent you would only have 1 question which is simple and effective.
So I was talking about the Death Star Surface and then I Realised what about that old set that was a joint Lucusfilm & Disney project.
The Star tours footage from the original ride would be perfect to add perspective to the surface of the death star when it is just that flat grey smooth ball. There is probably lot’s of footage and outtakes from this that could easily be re-purposed for the death star surface and it is also a practical not digital effect. And it’s really superior to many of the backgrounds like below. And I also believe it was much bigger hence the perspective you get.
There is really no in between either you are right near the surface or you are really far away in Star Wars and you never really see the scope of the surface of the Death Star like you do in Star Tours.
Another example of the non detailed surface
Star Tours perspective of Death Star surfce
or perhaps cgi would be better.
Wouldn’t that require a Star Tours restoration?
Side note: I think I’ve said this before but Star Tours would be an awesome bonus feature, much like the Back to the Future Trilogy comes with BTTF: The Ride.
The only thing that would be of interest would be individual elements. As you would not want to include the Star Tours ride footage in Star Wars in Raw Footage. So you would only be interested in the Death Star Surface Element footage really to add detail where very little was present. It’s shots like the Death Star surface which are reasons against having Star Wars in 4K when they are that smooth grey ball. Which is one of the few reasons not to have Star Wars in 4k.
Yeah takes me back to when I visited Florida when I was young does Star Tours. Would be nice for a restoration of the Ride like you say.
There is a nice alternate angle of Han Solo running up the Ramp in Mos Eisley port on to the Falcon which is better than what is in the film which I have spotted. The Snap cut to chewie in the cockpit is an odd edit as it breaks the flow of the action. As they take off there is some weird guy in a green suit in the corridor behind the cockpit (behind them) as they prepare to take off. Not sure what that is?
The Death Star Hanger not sure what is going on there exactly but it seems that there has been a re-arrangement in footage as we see a storm trooper fall to the ground then we see him being shot a few moments later. Also Leia Repaets the same dialogue take “Come On!” Twice. So I wonder if there is an Alternate audio take for Leia saying come on in a more heightened state.
