Tellan is correct, although the laser arms are missing from the studio cockpit set, the angle would mean that you wouldn't see them anyway.
As for the stormtrooper voices: I have no plan on changing any of their speech with any Temuera Morrison dialogue. I'm not sure why you posted the link to the Youtube stormtrooper clip twice because that won't convince me otherwise. Watching that has actually convinced me against doing anything like this.
OK, onto something new.
Doing the FX work for the Death Star battle is taking more time than i had first hoped, but i'm going to be taking my time on this section. I want it to be more in line with the ROTJ battle. So more ships and dogfights but this means twice as much work as i had originally planned. So the release date is looking even further away. But it will be worth it in the end. Hopefully i will be able to get this out in time for the 30th anniversary of the UK release of Star Wars (November). I definitely want this out in time for then at the latest.
Well its almost the official 30th anniversary so here's a little something to wet your appetite. Its a split screen comparison from the Luke & Biggs SE scene up to the beginning of the DS battle. It will hopefully give you all some idea of just how different this edit is going to look. This will definitely be the very last clip i will be posting. I don't want to spoil it for everyone by showing too much.

As usual the soundtrack it only a temp one so effects will be missing and out of sync at times and there are a couple of unfinished shots in there too. Also my footage somehow looks darker than it actually is. Not sure how that happened.
enjoy
