So Ady, did you ever consider recoloring the TIEs in ANH blue for better consistency? And Ripplin's most recent Executor is now the definitive version.

at first yeh, but because many of the models they used were actually white the colour just wouldn't take properly and looked too fake, due to the fact that when you are recolouring something you need to be able to keep the white highlights to keep the colouring looking natural

Hey Ady, I have a question that I don't think has been asked yet: if there was pristine footage of the original Emperor scene, would you use that instead of the McDiarmid re-do? I know I would.

no. simply because the original looks nothing like the Emperor we all know now. The 2004 version is fixable to make him look like his ROTJ self so that's a better avenue IMHO
