MasterObiSwan said:It's been a while since I've spoken up here, so I thought I'd clear my throat and make a suggestion that will no doubt be ridiculed and shot down quickly.
In Cloud City, when the poop is hitting the fan and Lando makes an announcement to all his citizens, I suggest the two new SE shots from '97 (the two people in the hallway stopping to listen, and the big shot outside) be flipped in order so that the outside shot comes first then the shot of the two people stopping. My reason for this is the two people who stop probably wouldn't bother stopping just because Lando is making an announcement. They have places to be. However, by moving that shot to a second or two later it makes more sense that they stop because they just heard that the Empire has taken control of the city. This is something that has always bothered me but I've never heard anybody else bring it up. So, even if Ady doesn't fix it, and even if everybody here thinks I'm wrong, I hope I've planted a subconscious awareness of this problem and I hope it jumps out at everybody when you watch it from now on and causes you all many sleepless nights. Unless of course it gets fixed.
Also, I just want to make sure I'm in the end credits on this one, too.
Thansk, Ady! You da man!

You're actually spot on with what i want to do with that scene. i always felt that the shots should have been in that order. It just makes so much more sense
Now the extra 3PO line that's been mentioned will be remaining. The thing is that this line was in the movie when i went to see it in 1980. I was lucky enough to see the 70mm version about 5 times. Now it always seemed odd to em when i saw the 35mm version and then the home video releases that this line was suddenly gone. None of my mates every believed me when i told them about this extra line, as well as a few other differences in both dialogue and the end sequence being shorter. I guess it all comes down to what version you are most familiar with. I've also never got use to Leia saying " I know where Luke is" instead of repeating "we've got to go back" when they rescue Luke from Cloud City
Work is just flying along at the moment. I've even been able to re-create the original Emperor scene in HD for my AVCHD release of Empire. I posted the link in that thread but if anyone wants to see it then here is the link:
