Thanks Ady... good to be back (though I never really left but skulked around). Thanks for the iris suggestion as well. Just a small note however, in case you missed the little thing I changed other than the wipes and sequence, I flipped and rotated the wampa's hand when he hits Luke. His "thumb" is now at the top of the screen instead at the bottom which makes it look as though he's hitting him with his left arm instead of a twisted backhand of his right arm. Just a little nugget for thought but that's always bugged me since I was a kid and its nice to change it around for my own sake.

Monroville... like Ady said, all the spinning stuff and whatnot are his. I just changed the sequence, wipes and wampa hand. This is how it will look in my personal edit once Ady's through with his. I just don't have the technical talent he has. I've got an editor's eye but not so much a technician's brain. Ady has both. Maybe once I'm done with school I'll know more about editing and the like. My suggestion to you is if it is something minor like the spinning starfield, why don't you just cut and paste it into ady's edit when he's done? That's my plan anyway. I like the spinning starfield and he's taking it out. Solution:::: put it back in. It won't really change the hard effort he put in for color correction since it is such a quick scene in space. I'm thinking of even putting the green lasers on the AT-AT's because I like it A LOT. I'll be reworking the Vader/Shuttle scene as to keep some but not all that in too. If Ady fixes something that I think is done correctly or to my tastes, then it stays. If not, I'm gonna tweak that part just the way I've always wanted it. I really don't care if I "release" my edits or not. These are for me as Ady's are for him. This simple concept is forgotten all too often :::cough cough Kurgan cough cough::: That's just the nature of all this. None of it belongs to us and as long as credit is given then I don't know of any fan editor that would mind that their edit is tweaked to someone else's liking.
