"It's a good idea SomethingStarWarsRelated but , after playing about with some tests after seeing your post, it would be a nightmare to pull off. If you look at all the shots of Vader inside his cockpit then you will see that thay are all taken from and angle. either from below or to the side and there are none taken from directly in front, which i would need a shot like that to be able to pull something like this off. I guess i could use footage of vader from a different scene, recolour it and try and piece the background from other shots but it would be so hard. Even with the HD version the zoom in would be so much & so fast that it would look terrible. Oh, well. It was still a good suggestion."

Ah! Too bad. Yeah, I didn't really give any thought to the shots of Vader being from different angles...
Why do you suppose it was filmed that way to begin with? You would think it would've been easier and saved time to keep the camera stationary...?

By-the-way
Happy Birthday! This edition will be a nice birthday present to...yourself!
