I was unsure as to your intent with the edit, It seemed from the start that you were attempting to just fix the flaws that arose due to the LF treatment of the 2004 DVD's and add some seamless enhancements to the film. After watching this last trailer it feels you have pulled all the stops and went in a new direction changing the feel of the film as the 97 Special Editions did. Im not saying that in a bad way I just didnt expect some of the changes to be so drastic. Are you now trying to create a whole new feel to the movie or was it just getting caught up in visualizing how much better a certain scene would become with "X" being inserted/added/redone? Again Im not trying to criticize I was just wondering what your thoughts were behind the big picture. I hope it doesnt seem like Im trying to attack you cause thats not my intention at all, I am anticipating your release far more than anything planned by LF (if at all).
I haven't gone in a new direction. My original intent was always to redo as many of the FX work as possible because ANH is the one film that looks most dated now, especially since they added the new CG FX in the SE. I never thought in a million years that i would be able to do all of the things i wanted to do but as time progressed and i learned more i have been able to accomplish something closer to what i originally envisioned. Don't forget that from the beginning i wanted OT to fit in with the PT visually but without changing the story so i could watch all six movies in order without the 70's FX work on ANH looking so out of place after watching the PT
aren't the light saber clashes supposed to be sorta yellow?

They were a yellow/green in ANH but thats one thing that i hated after the other movies came out. The plain white flash now blends in better than it originally did and, although the PT flashes are smaller, their white appearence is more pleasing to the eye. After all why would there be a yellow flash from the clash of a blue & red sabre anyway? lol
