Fantastic Work Ady, Yoda seems much more lifelike, In fact it's better than the PT. Also thumbs up on the color correction. (Here is the Youtube link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRH1yzUCSFg

About this "AT-AT problem", did you ever complain before, did you even notice or care, way should you now.  For me, I never questioned the number of AT-At's. It just was. I guess I don't have any more to say that has'nt (oops) already been said.

After all, are crafter is Adywan.

 

My feeling on the AT-AT debate is not so much about whether or not any of us complained about how the scene was before. I never complained about the original Death Star reveal in A New Hope, or how R2-D2's light was only 1 color, or that the final battle didn't show Yavin in the background, etc., etc.

But looking at Revisited now, I absolutely love the changes he made, and I think we can all agree that the changes Adywan made to the Death Star battle, and the film as a whole, not only fixed a multitude of continuity errors, but also enhanced the viewing experience to the point where it felt as it did the first time we saw Star Wars. Continuity changes aside, most of the changes and additional shots added to the Death Star battle were not absolutely necessary, but sure did improve upon what was already there, and made the entire battle more intense because of it.

I believe the same holds true for the Hoth battle. I don't think the film would be hurt at all if Adywan decides to leave the number of AT-ATs to the original 5. However, I also feel that additional AT-ATs could certainly enhance the battle, and it does make sense to me that the Empire would send more than 5 walkers, especially since Vader knew that the Rebels were already aware of the Empire's arrival thanks to Admiral Ozzel bringing the fleet out of hyperspace too close to Hoth. It seems to me that after sending probe droids and Star Destroyers all over the galaxy searching for the Rebels, and now after finding them they are already alerted to their sneak attack, the Empire would cetainly take no chances, and hit them full force. I would certainly think that they would send more than 5 AT-ATs to do the job.

As far as the new clip of Yoda, I think it looks great. The mouth moves very realistically to me. The movements seem subtle, but make a difference. I think that this could work out well, because you get the best of both worlds: because Yoda is a puppet in TESB, he already looks very good. With some minor facial tweaks, I think that it could truly bring him to life. I agree that some minor work with the eyes could also help, if Adywan decides to go this route with Yoda.
