from 0:30 to 0:45.

I know Needa's SD is the one in the middle, and that he has one SD on either side, but when you see the bridge shot at 0:36, should the shot be flipped (being that the SD that's closest to him is the one on his right side, not left)?

Going from our viewpoint as the audience, Needa is heading north and the other 2 SDs are going south (sounds kinda dirty...). Going by the position of the bridge, also facing north, the SD on the left side (just about touching Needa's SD) would be on Needa's right side.

Could anyone post some screen captures?

Monroville's absolutely right that there is something off, here....

We initially see the single Stardestroyer about to go in-between the middle of two oncoming Stardestroyer, just as the Millennium Falcon first dives downwards, followed by the Ties. It could be argued that the single Stardestroyer looks like it is positioned roughly equal distance in the middle of the other oncoming 2, in this shot.

However, in the following shot where we are directly below, and looking upwards at the undersides of the 3 Stardestroyers (as the Millennium Falcon and Ties come towards our viewpoint)....it looks as if the single Stardestroyer has gone slightly underneath the prow of the RIGHT-hand one....

That is not correct; Needa's SD is already a few hundred yards below the other 2 approaching SDs, as seen here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTp8mKFxmbg&feature=PlayList&p=4DB0EA9A58709519&index=34

Thus when we see the bridge shot, the side of the oncoming SD would be level with Needa's conning tower (which, if he didn't move his SD downwards, would have had the upper section ripped off ala the tower on the LEWIS AND CLARK on STARSHIP TROOPERS)

edit - okay, you are right. Needa's SD is damn near on the same horizontal plane as the other 2 SDs on 0:32, yet on 0:33, Needa is already moving slightly below the SD on his right (HIS right, not ours) ...

huh... looks like the EMPIRE hired a few competent people AFTER all (being that he had a helmsman that didn't need an order to evade the obvious). If only they had the same helmsman on the EXECUTOR a year or 2 later, he could have slightly altered course and said A-wing would have hit the face of the tower and not the bridge, thus SAVING THE DAY FOR.. the empire... oh yeah...

they're supposed to lose, right?

Which then makes the 'interior' shot wrong! Unless the shots of the Stardestroyers from below are altered, I'd suggest it might be good to 'flip' the 'interior' shot (or alter what's seen in it's windows), as the other shots can't be 'flipped' because then the 'cockpit' of the Millennium Falcon would be on the wrong side then.

Interesting, as I hadn't picked up on this one before.

Perhaps doubleofive or someone can provide a couple of shots at some point to show everyone here how it currently looks?

PS: I know I am getting annoying on this, but also look and listen to the TIE laser fire. Notice how it has that chigga/chigga/chigga (and some fading after sound FX) as opposed to the Ady asteroid Da--da--DA--da.

And regarding the PAL speedup, the issue is that the laser fire and sound is too slow, not fast. If converted to NTSC, it will be even slower moving and sounding.
