As I understand it, hardly anything is changing from the initial release. He’s just remaking it in HD to match the quality of TESB:R with a few minor revisions such as removing the PT music from the Obiwan vs Vader fight scene that he originally added in his first release.
That aside, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the opening sequence as it is 😉

This would include, then, some subtle adjustments to the opening shot. As I recall, Ady tinkered with the Tantive IV’s flight path, sped it up a bit, and made it react to the hit it takes right before the scene shifts to the droids.
There will be lots of little changes from the original version. I’m mostly looking forward to seeing 3PO’s reaction to R2 being shot reinstated and Tarkin’s profile before the DS explodes.
I’d love to see the ‘flash’ on the bottom of the stardestroyer lined up correctly.

That’d be cool but “can it be done?”
Adywan are you updating things like the opening scene to make the ships move a bit faster and have the models look more modern things like that? Thanks man keep up the really good work.
At least you’ve gone from Star Wars to DC Comics. It was a valiant effort to hide your identity. However, some people manage to leave fingerprints even in typed text on the Internet.
LOL

Mike Verta made a video about this issue and I’m pretty sure he pointed out that it can be fixed and how to do it.
But, as that’s not what his project is about, he didn’t actually fix it.
I dare say you are more interested in ARSE than ROTJR I will send you a donation but I feel your are more interested in this which to be honest I can completely understand never the less ROTJR is something that absolutely has to happen.
Thanks Ronster. I’m not sure why you would think i’d be more interested in redoing soemthing i had already finished once over starting something fresh and exciting though.

The models look perfect as they are. They look as good today as they did back then. Something that can;t be said for the CG models in the prequels. The only thing that will be altered is ehat was done in the original ANH:R, like the tantive being hit, then fixing the misaligned stardestroyer flashes.

There are plenty of ships in the PT that were real physical models, you know.

In fact, the PT had more sets and models than the entire OT. But they still had to use CGI because some things were impossible to make without it. And that’s not a bad thing.

Yawn…this old argument again.
Only TPM has physical models used for ships/ vehicles. For the other two they were purely CG.
And that “The prequels had more models built than the OT” defence falls flat on its face when you take into account that the OT used real locations, full scale sets or partial with matte paintings, instead of many sets & locations being built as miniatures and the actors filmed against greenscreen or the minimal amount of set piece. ROTS doesn’t have a single outdoor location shot in the entire movie. It was filmed entirely on a soundstage, which is why the outdoor scenes look incredibly fake.
fixing the misaligned stardestroyer flashes.
Awesome! 😄

Yes, this I’m excited to see.

the film uses plenty of Second Unit background plates as a basis for its otherworldly settings
So, yeah.

Some of the most exotic locations just CAN’T be filmed in real places, and can only be chromakeyed in. But that still requires a lot of technical artists and talent. CGI and blue/green screens are not inherently bad things. You should never blame the tool for the shortcomings of the craftsman.

Could we not have this argument here? It has nothing to do with anything.

Never did. Doesn’t matter anyway, it’s 110% irrelevant to the topic at hand.
The extra 10% is for Editroid.

Using background plates does NOT make it a location or outdoor shoot. They shots every scene that was supposed to be outdoors IN A STUDIO, WITH STUDIO LIGHTING, instead of shooting it outside the studio using natural light. Which, in turn, makes everything look fake. They filmed the damn thing in Australia, where sunshine is readily available. So why use studio lighting when he could have easily have shot the stuff in natural light and make things look more natural? That’s not the craftmans fault, that is the Directors, especially a Director who has complete control over the film

That’s in fact the all point of Lucas since his very first film: having total control at every single level. I love the way ROTS looks (don’t agree at all it looks fake but this is another debate) but I concur about a few shots that aren’t very good (especially the close-up shots on Tatooine, but I’m 100% OK with the rest of the movie).
