Reading some pages back, there was a little talk about maybe bringing the spinning star field back when the Falcon goes into hyperspace. As it was removed from ANH:R, for the sake of keeping visual consistency I would suggest removing it for ESB:R also. It does not feature in ROTJ, so it would be visually continuous if it was omitted in ESB:R as well. I'm aware that there were some complaints over its removal in ANH:R, but it never really bothered me at all (in fact, I didn't even realise it was gone when I first watched ANH:R until I read about it on these forums). Adywan gave good reason for its removal, and as it was removed there, it'd be as well to remove it from ESB for the Revisited edit.

Just putting in my two pennies worth.

Not to be an ass, but NO! NO, NO, NO and again NO!!!

I STILL do not know why Ady took that out - the spinning star field when the MF (or any ship) went into hyperspace was one of the coolest things in the theatre. It gave you the same feeling when walking in one of those tunnels in a funhouse with the circular moving walls that screwed with your equilibrium and was really effective. The MF just jumping away with no spinning star field looked pretty damn silly and no where near as dramatic, especially considering how many OTHER shots are using the moving star field to enhance the dramatic element of what is on screen (the MF/TIE escape from the DS & the entire Last Battle)

In fact, I love the edit the previous editor made with the Hoth opening sequence, which takes care of the repeat scene and adds in that vertigo effect.

(Ady: even if you don't change anything else, PLEASE consider copying what this guy did from 0:22 to 0:29. The moving star field and Hoth add something to it, much like the MF/TIE escape from the DS scene in ANH:R. You may want to also consider adding some sound FX {definitely some lower end bass) when Luke and the Taun-Taun are womped by the Wampa - maybe a neck breaking sound FX for the t-t)

PLEASE Ady, if there is one thing I beg NOT to take out or screw with, it's the spinning star field. All of the other shots (like in ROTJ) the star fields don't spin because it is either not a life-or death escape sequence or the ships are going into one. In the case of the MF in ANH and EMPIRE, the spinning star field (at least for me) enhanced the idea that (1) they are moving very fast and (2) they barely escaped on the skin of their teeth.
