Could someone post a shot of the rotj ones? I never noticed them but did immediatly in ANH-R.

Now all these were captured when the lightsaber is absolutely still so no extra thickness due to movement. As you can see The thickness of the lightsabers changes in ESB but in ROTJ the sabers are pretty thick, much thicker than the ones in ANH:R. Don't forget that for ANH they used reflective strip on the sabers to produce the core glow, whcih produced all the jagged edges and varying thickness's which i had to attempt to cover up, but for ESB & ROTJ they rotoscoped the blades so there really shouldn't have been a problem with the thickness. All the images were captured from the GOUt so they have always been that way. When people pointed out that the lightsabers in ANH:R were thicker they almost all referred to the ones in the PT which use a totally different rotoscoping technique than the OT and are a lot thinner.

Now Vaders helmet moving in the wind may not be able to be fixed. If he was very still then there would be no problem but because his head is in motion its is going to be hard to pull off. I'll give it a go sometime but i can't guarantee that i'll be able to do it.

Also, this may have already been mentioned but will you be slightly altering the scene where Vader tosses objects at Luke so that Luke actually hits a few of them instead of just swatting at them?

I'm not sure if i will do anything about that. After all, with Luke missing almost all of them it does show just how inexperienced he is and that Yoda was right when he said that he wasn't ready to face Vader

1:  When the stormtroopers drops Han off in the detetion cell the trooper on our right ( Han's left ) almost looses his helmet.

I don't think this needs to be fixed because they are only just wearing helmets and this would most likely happen if knocked anyway

2:  A new explosion scene made for when the snowtroopers blast their way into the rebel base, the explosion seem so bad, like a wobby star trek set from the 60's, perhaps make it more grand?

I think the explosion is fine as it is. If the explosion was bigger it would have probably blew up most of the command centre.

3:  A bigger ground battle when the AT-AT's attack the rebel base, it seems so small and the explosions so few and not that harmful, would like to see it be upped to a more Epic style of battle, More lasers, troopers, ships and intensity.

Would be fun to see a AT-AT actually debark its troopers ( like Veers orders ) see Snowtroopers on the battlefield and perhaps blasting their way into the base.

The battle will be more intense but adding something like the troops debark would probably slow down the pace of the battle. Plus with no existing footage it would be impossible to do

4:  To make the Mynocks inside the space slug look less "puppety" and to perhaps give added depth to the environment there? also perhaps do something about their breather apparatus, it looks a bit strange.. like there's something missing.

I doubt there is much i can do about them without creating all CG Mynocks (which i have no clue about how to do anything in CG). Adding depth to the environment isn't needed either. The falcons external lights are the only things lighting up the outside and they are not very powerful. The darkness of the surroundings provides a greater depth than adding in any backgrounds ever could. The breathing apparatus is also ok and doesn't need changing. Although really they should be wearing suits because they should have all frozen to death when they went outside. lol

5:  And something that I have always wondered about, the Ion cannon on Hoth, should it's bolts not be blue?

Now this is something that has only cropped up since the PT and the new Clone Wars cartoon. There were no blue laser blasts ever in the OT. This is one thing that seemed to be added in the PT to go with the over-colourful look of those movies. Turning the Ion cannons lasers blue just wouldn';t work. it fires against a blue background so the laser would just blend in. I don't want to change the colour of lasers at all in the OT

6: The Destroyer that gets hit by Hoths Ion cannon should have better FX as it gets hit.

yeh, this will be getting an FX overhaul.

And to come back to ESB (I don't recall having read it before on the forum), is it planned to add any flashes in the overhead shot when Luke and Vader are fighting on the bridge (before Luke falls and Vader says "It is useless to resist"), because I don't see any of these flashes when sabres hit each other. Just checked it out again to be sure :)

And also to fix the X or Y-wing fighter in the last scene (2nd shot, when the medical fregate enters the shot and fighters fly along with it) that disappears something like 2 frames before the end of the shot.

yeh there are flashes.

If you look closely the flash actually happens before the sabers clash, so that's something that needs to be fixed. Also then the rails get hit the explosion lights up the surroundings but this causes you to be  able to see the edges of the matte painting. So again another fix to be done

And the X-wing that disappears at the end, i noticed that when i was doing the colour correction. I though ILM was supposed to have fixed these types of FX gaffes but the whole SE just seemed to me to be a half-assed job
