You can either use George circa '76/'77, or old George now. It could be a very subtle effect and maybe someone watching who doesn't know it's there might even completely miss it on the first viewing. But it would be a cool Lucas cameo, even cooler than the one in SITH, I think.

Actually that a good idea. You really got me thinking on this one. It would be kinda cool. I might not put it in the throne room scene though cuz everyone will be looking there now.

Honestly, if George is in the movie, just make it so he isn't jumping out at anyone. IMO.

It's going to be very subtle. Probably only on screen for a couple of seconds at the most

Good idea too, Sluggo. Just need to find some good '77 era footage now

You smell what I'm stepping in Ady. In the rebel hanger, It's all human. You'd think there' be different species from different worlds joining the alliance.

I always took the Rebel Alliance at this point as being a loosely-organized, far spread group of insurgents.
Since the group involved in this skirmish in this sector of the galaxy is comprised (most likely) of turncoats from Alderaan, Dantooine, Tattooine and other such "human" worlds, I don't really see why it's necessary to throw in Rodians or what have you.
By the time we get to ROTJ (to me anyway), it seems like the Alliance has pulled together for one mass-attack. That's why you see more diversity there - everyone has gotten together to work as one mass space navy, rather than small guerilla warrior pockets (of likely less diverse groups).
Admiral Ackbar does not need to be on Yavin.

I kind of lean in the opposite way... one of the reasons the original trilogy worked so well (at least the first two movies) was that it was mostly human. The war was man vs man.. which is very identifiable with audiences. Aliens were put in to add in a little bit of flavor... Chewy was more or less a lovable, trusty dog sidekick. In contrast the prequels had dopey-jamican-frogs vs robots... , clones in white armor vs robots, wookies vs robots, ...who cares.
Though it would be funny if you rigged up Ackbar in an X-Wing as gold leader... just as he's about to be blown up by vader's tie... "It's a trap!"

How about having Mon Mothma in the closing shot?

Excellent point. I think that "reality" as it were often gets overlooked in Star Wars; I think your assessment of the situation in ANH is bang on.
As a side note, it's funny -- you'd think seeing more aliens, as in the PT, would have made the galaxy seem like a bigger place, but in my opinion it's just the opposite. In the OT, by seeing just one group (humans) dealing with their issues, and occasionally seeing aliens, it makes your imagination kick in and start wondering about all the other creatures and planets out there with stories of their own. In the PT, by contrast, every race is everywhere and dealing with the same issues, which seems to diminish the vastness of that universe. Plus, as dumb_kid pointed out, having predominantly human characters makes the story much more relatable.

I've almost finished work on the missing pieces so i should hopefully be back on track soon. having to redo the colour correction caused a few problems with existing footage so i have had to go back and tweak about 70% of the movie. ive dropped the saturation especially on faces to try and eliminate that over tanned look. Having to mask out each face for the most part so i don't lose the colour of background objects is a long process but it is giving good results that couldn't be achieved without doing this. Some shots are beyond repair as i have said before and they are beyond repair. i hate the way the OT has been greatly over-saturated just to make it look like the prequels. When i get around to them i will be dropping the saturation to match the OT instead.

Adywan, in whatever location you decide to stick Lucas, don't ever tell me where it is. That's something I'd rather have as a forever unknown in my own head.

Don't worry, I'll won't be revealing where the cameos will be.
@ andy_k_250, thanks for the link. It has come in handy. there were a few things there that i had missed.

The role of Darth Vader is now being played by George Lucas? *LOL*

Great to hear you're almost back on track already. I know you were concerned when the meltdown occured that it would take month and months to redo all the effects, but it sounds like you've been able to bounce back faster and better. Was that because the Adobe After Effects files and elements were still intact? Not knowing a lot about that program, I admit I am curious. Keep up the fight.

Partly, yes. i was able to redo about 80% of the missing effects thanks to the fact the adobe after effects project files were saved. Some i had to start from scratch, like the complete opening sequences until we first see the droids aboard the Tantive. The colour correction was another matter. because it went through a three step, at least, process these had to be done from scratch. I must have been having at the most 5 hours sleep a night since this happened because i've been working flat out to catch up. When i get the drives i'll still be working to a schedule like that until its released by the looks of things.
