That 2 minute preview just got even better. Your subtle touches are some of the most enjoyable for me. The colour on the preview is a knockout!


For your consideration today -

Do you think you are able to add a touch of 'brick red' colour to some of the Millennium Falcon's relevant 'individual' panels? I mean on certain 'close-up' miniature shots where these panels are too darkened to 'black or dark grey' sometimes.

Shots such as the top and underneath of the Falcon, as it 'swerves' in 'close-up' during the asteroids from right of the frame to the left (A similar move by the Falcon is seen when it is shown going in the other direction, as Lando flies it for the first time alongside other rebel fleet spaceships, where it's 'rusty' red panel colouration is nicely obvious and far better-looking, although I realise the 'Empire' SE's overall colour is dark during the asteroids now)....and shots like when it turns to attack' the stardestroyer in 'close-up' to us....and during the miniature 'close-ups' where it travels with the rebel fleet at the end.

During the more 'blurry', faster-moving shots like the underside of it's 'attack' over the stardestroyer's windows, it would be nice to get a hint of an indistinct, brief flash of the 'brick red' panel colour if possible. For instance, if you freeze-frame the shot in 'Jedi' where we see the fast-moving underside of the Falcon, just after Lando has ordered "Pull up, all craft pull up!", that is a good example of how I mean it should look. I always liked the 'rusty bits' on the Falcon design, and too much of it is lost in inconsistantly-coloured shots now I feel.


Being one of the more poorly-realised 'design continuity' errors, this is one I'd REALLY like to see improved on, if possible - The moving 'practical effect' showing the top of the AT-AT's leg, is totally the wrong shape....

In the 'close-up' shot of the AT-AT's underneath, as Luke's cable 'rappel-attachment' sticks on after he shoots it upwards....and the 'close-up' shot where he is dangling from it using his Lightsaber....the 'rounded' end of the moving 'leg joint' is a far different shape to the better actual miniature design of that part. The 'rounded' bit of this prop, nearest to Luke as he kicks off it, should really have been more of a raised, 'hollowed-out' circular shape with the raised protuberance in the centre of it, with what looks like some holes (?) around that, inside the 'hollow' too. Can this in any way be improved to match the pieces seen in the colourful explosion that follows underneath the model?
