no, the stretching one is staying. its the 2 shots out of the whole saga where the starfield spins that is going. It is just down to personal taste and nothing more. Originally i did have something planned for the falcons escape for ESB which would have meant that the spinning starfield would have had to go anyway because it wouldn't look right and because i wasn't over keen on the effect i decided that it wasn't needed in ANH.
And Jeyl, i have no problems with criticisms whatsoever but your posts came across as just plain rude. I welcome criticisms as they have changed my mind about many things in these edits but you have to respect that i do have a carefully thought out plan for the saga which not everyone will agree with. But that doesn't mean that there's a need for name calling and rudeness.
Okay, this is tripping me out:
(1) didn't we all discuss the whole "spinning star field" a few pages ago (as in: 20 to 40 pages ago)?
(2) didn't anyone learn anything from kurgan and me?
(3) does Ady have to keep bashing the obvious point here?!?
Ady, I really feel for ya here. I say if any of us write anything that upsets you, just ignore it and save yourself the ulcer. It seems the more people respond to the bitter arguments the more it keeps on going.
So.... have you thought about changing the AT-AT lasers to green? (WHOMP!) OOWW! Where did that hand come from?!?!
And as far as the star field goes, were you replacing the outside "spinning" with the "streaking" star field as seen inside the MF cockpit, or will the star field keep its clothes on?
I think the main concern is that something needs to be done to give the visual sensation of speed; the MF just blipping off with the static star field was a little underwhelming in ANH:R and it would be nice to see something mimic that sense of speed and escape as originally seen.
