For years, the solution was always to just heavily re-composite the scene of Han and Leia’s conversation on the Falcon to add a blue tint and add a spinning Hyperdrive tunnel outside the cockpit, which has been done in Hal9000’s Custom SE and Adywan’s SW Revisited, but I always felt like it looked off and didn’t really match the visual aesthetic of a movie that was shot and filmed in 1976.
Hi! any updates on this as of yet?
I was roaming through this thread and I read this part and couldn’t keep myself from expressing my opinion here. I very much disagree with this. As you know in the original movie the heroes are supposed to be in hyperspace, that’s why Han isn’t piloting the falcon and just sitting there. Why would they just have the ship just sitting there? I also don’t agree that it doesn’t match the athletic of the film, remember there is already a hyperspace shot in the movie, and if you’re leaving in the SE death star battle scenes in, then your argument has no merit, those shots are much more “modern” and “out of place” then a simple tunnel effect. Which wasn’t completed originally either due to budget/time restraints or because it would’ve been hard to avoid garbage mattes around the actors. I also disagree with your opinion that Adywan’s edits are trying to be “modern”. no matter what style the editing is, it is by definition modern. unless you’re purposely adding garbage mattes, anything you’ll do will look “modern”.
Still excited for this! Don’t take my criticism too harshly.
