Hi! I'm going to go ahead and introduce myself here as the "3D CG guy" who did the very few 3D created-from-scratch elements that were made for this edit, those being the red Death Star schematics mesh/anims and that one big "incoming TIEs swarm" shot.

I started working with Ady in February of last year and finished, oh, about three days ago. Modeling the red Death Star mesh alone took me probably pushing a hundred hours; definitely wasn't just a LightWave primitive sphere with an eye poked onto it. I'm kind of a detail fiend, so I poured over the very few references I had, did my best to recreate everything I could make out from those (the three fuzzy rotating DS holograph shots from AOTC). Pretty rough! But I'm glad people seem to approve to the end result. (Note that I did only the "from-scratch 3D" portions of those shots for Revisited -- Ady of course did all the frame graphics, Aurebesh text, arrow-lines, compositing, etc.)

I'll chat more later as right now I have to run off to work. Just wanted to pop here in here real quick to say hi and give some info for those curious, if anyone is even curious.
