Great to see R2’s light like that. I notice the Falcon traveling much closer to the Death Star in that one shot, which is cool.
The blasters. I tend not to like efforts to make the blasters in ANH or the OT look similar to subsequent depictions by adding a core, because it never seemed to blend in right and would often be too thick. This, however, is totally perfect. Looks pitch-perfect in its goal and does not at all feel out of place. Color me impressed.
R2’s light looks good, but I wonder if mimicking Adywan’s effort for Revisited back in 2007 a bit closer might help further. When R2’s light changes in Revisited, it seems to get darker during the transition, and I wonder if that helps sell that some mechanism is pulling a tab. Here, the color just changes left to right and can feel like a digital alteration. I’m not sure how else to get at what I mean.
Stellar, man!
No worries, I’ll alter the r2 light soon enough. also, the reason the lasers look good is that I didn’t re-create them, I Just brightened the core that was already there, but was terribly faded due to improper restoration.
there are also some mistakes that I just now noticed, and I’ll have to iron them out.
