The only additions I would suggest would be shadows under the speeders in the shots that they're missing and some graphics on those barren speeder displays, maybe similar to what was done with the death star plans.

Awesome comparison, I was hoping you had blacked out where the skin of Anthony Daniels neck shows in a gap of the 3PO costume during the scene with he and Han by the falcon when Han asks if Skywalker had reported in. (Han yells for deck officer.) But I am sure you will get to it later. :) Or the rebel base doors closing too early.
like i said the new clip was mainly to show the differences in colour and with a few tweaks added. the majority of "fix" work will be done once all the colour correction is completed

One of the missing music sequences I would like to see re-instated (spell?) in the movie would be the one used when Han Solo is just walking into the base after dismounting his tauntaun. I don't have Building Empire on hand, so I can't check to see if that's exactly where it is, but I'm pretty sure that's where it goes. I thought it worked well with the scene.
not sure which part you mean here but that scene never did have any music in any cut of the movie.

I do still kinda wish you would change the fanfare right at the beginning of the video.
yeh, as much as i liked that cue originally when i was younger, it now annoys me that it is used later in the film in vaders mediation chamber scene and now in my mind seems to depict the empire. Have you any thoughts as to what cue would fit better ?

In the 2004 DVD release the digital matte painting added in 1997 became faded in this shot, is there any way to fix that?


they have brightened up the levels so much that in many shots any detail in brighter scenes has been lost. the only sources that i can attempt to repair that matte are cropped at the sides so i don't know how the hell i'm going to be able to fix it yet.

Now, this is the shot I mentioned before where I think the windows need to be closed.
A few seconds before this shot, there is a closeup of Leia shooting, but there is no window seen behind her.

If the windows existed, they should be visible to the left of this door...
Otherwise, I would also like to see more ships take off.
Looking at the angle of the close-ups the first window probably wouldn't be visible, or if it is it would be by only a fraction so not really any need to fix that, plus the windows are around the corner so you wouldn't see them in the outside shot
the TIEs at he end i think i will just have them swoop towards the city towards the end as they are escaping but from the opposite side so the falcon would have escaped before they could get to them
i know i haven't answered everything but i'm getting pretty lost due to the high volume of suggestions so sorry if i haven't replied to your suggestion.
i wonder if someone could do me a huge favour? it would be a huge help for me if someone could go through the thread and collect all the suggestions into one post so i can better keep account of what has been suggested so far? it would be so much easier having it all in one place than having to go through all the pages and would save me time that could be better spent on the edit
well the monitor died tonight. i'm now working on an old 15"lcd tv with an amazing resolution of 800 x 600, so reading the forum now is pretty bloody hard. doing the edit is out of the question until i get the monitor replaced. i loved my old LG monitor too. most of the monitors i've seen aren't half as good picture quality wise as the LG.
i always hate asking this but the only way i can get a monitor replacement that is any good for doing my work is opening up another donation plea again. i hate doing this but i have no other choice. its just typical this had to happen now because i'd started to save up to get a quad core processor cuz this PC is really struggling to handle the higher resolution video i'm, working with this time and thats just with the colour correction (although i am having to use a lot more layers and masks on ESB that i ever did with ANH. curse you lucasfilm. next time don't employ Stevie Wonder to do your colour correction). Now i've got to forget that quad core just so i can get this monitor now (gutted. could have done so much more in less time too)
so if anyone wants to donate anything at all you can do so through paypal using this address:
adywan (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk ( replacing everything in the brackets with the correct symbols of course)
many thanks :)
