As for Ponda Baba's arm, i modelled the had from all the sources available and i kept it true to the original. This edit was just for the fans and i'm not really bothered if it confuses people when see the flipper. it is there to correct a mistake and the original hand sticks out like a sore thumb to me knowing that he had a flipper (that can be seen clearly in other shots). As for the blood, the saber cortorizes the wound so there would be no blood. here's a snapshot from the holiday special that shows his flipper, even though the colouring is different to that in ANH because of the lighting:
It was originally changed to the wolf hand because of the original flipper not being able to hold a gun and might confuse the audience but as i said it's there for the fans who know what it should look like. I might tweak it slightly for the DVD but i can't change the angle. I have to keep it at the angle it originally was due to the other elements in the shot.
and it wasn't "Lord" Darth Vader in the special edition credits so i haven't changed anything there
I knew that the changes i made wouldn't please everyone but this was originally just for me and it's exactly the way i wanted it . Oh my god i have turned into George Lucas.
