I think ghostalpha is right, although it looks a lot better already. I'd be happy with either.

Which is the Darth Editous shot? Left (brighter) or right (darker)? This made me realize what I hate about this new scene - the Emperor looks like Skeletor!

This might be an obvious question, but will there be global color correction done this film to account for the 2004 color issues? Was this done with your original edit of ANH? (As good a place to ask as any). Thanks!

Hell no. I'm not that obsessive

I think I've already got a better shadowing of the Emperor today, although it'll never match the original. Mine is the scuffed-up image on the right.

Now I'm confused regarding color correction. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

I much prefer the image on the right. Like I said, now the Emperor doesn't look like Skeletor.

I like it. It starts to make the Emperor look more like he did in ROTJ. The thing I hated about the new emperor in ROTS/ESB is that the Emperor looked nothing like he did in ROTJ. And the darker picture does fit how he shows up in holograms in the prequels. Looking good, Darth Editous!

I hope so, Editor, for your sake. GhostAlpha26 is not as forgiving as I am.

I think the biggest problem has always been with the neck, and the weird way the hood hangs around his head. It never looks like that any of the other times we see him. The side shot looks okay, but that front shot looks like the big turtle guy from the Neverending Story.

If only you had a clean backplate...


But it does look semi-better with the shadowing.

Really? How did he accomplish that?

And where can I get one?

I got my back plate thanks to Sluggo, who pointed me in the right direction. You don't have to look any further than the DVDs...

Looking good, Darth!

I heard a test sound clip earlier of what sounded like a morphed audio combo of the original and new voices, saying "yes... yeeesss..."
It sounded really good, are you still going to use this?

And the idea of recreating the original scene with Ian sounds great, and the "yes, yeeesss" would fit that.

My stance on revising fan edits.

The "yes... yessss" was just a quicky thing done in stereo. I haven't checked, but it will probably be easier to do in six channels. Last time I did try, I wasn't able to get it right, but I didn't try very hard

I'm guessing it has something to do with the Van Ling menus?

Any Updates?

If it's not too late, I have a request for a change.

Something that's always bugged me about ESB are the scratches on the floor of the Falcon when Threepio is being dragged by artoo, leftover from previous takes.
Is this easily fixable? It's just always bugged me, and I noticed it even as a kid seeing it for the first time.

First, off, I don't really know very much at all about audio editing and sound mixing, but I thought that there might be a way in which you could chnage the "Look" that the emperor says in "Look down there in the sanctuary moon" to sound like the name "Luke". Maybe by splicing the words "Look" and "You" together.

Just a thought.

If we're talking about the same shot, you can't see the scratches on the floor until after Threepio has been pulled past, so I can't see the goof

DE,

If the scene's been finalized yet, could you post a video clip of the holo-Emperor scene? That would probably get me (and a lot of others) really geeked out on your new ESB version...

Thanks for all the work on these ultimate editions!
