I found the reference in one of my books:
"Massassi hangar, interior: “Thet had one complete X-Wing, a Y-Wing and some bits and pieces, painted ships. SO I took the plate, reduced it, and then put it down in the left centre; then I took the same plate, reduced it even more, and put it in the background on the right hand side of the frame; then I painted around it, just lots of little lights in the back, a couple of shapes, a few hoses hanging down. Youd be amazed how little is on that painting”
Do you have the art of star wars - revised 1997 edition? In the back there are some stills for some of the 1997 special edition shots…
I am guessing you do have it after posting that concept art trailer 😃
People often want to bash me when I talk about stuff like this “Why did they not special edition this scene?” and so on but practically destroy mos-eisley space port with comedy dinosaurs…
Actually I am curious what your plan is? are you coloring this to be the special edition or Technicolor?
Either Way I accept the Special edition as a version but the main problem is, is that the footage just looks different and does not Gel well with the model shots and I like the model shots but I also like some of the special edition stuff. Some shots it would seem were intended to be extended versions of shots but ultimately the decision was made to drop the original model shots and just have the CGI version.
Couple examples of extensions that were if you like called off…
I know this is a preservation but could it be that there was some sort of error made, that made the CGI stick out more than it should of done in the 1997? Especially considering loss of luminance? Or is it more that the model shots stick out more against the CGI? I am basing this off the fact that if they were planning on extending some bits they would have matched the look… But it all must of went out the window at some stage I guess…
