In an attempt to get things back to the movie..
Ady, could you look at the 'levatating' boxes and rocks on Dagobah? Most of the time, the effect works pretty well, but sometimes it seems more like props on string in some shots.
Also, the trick the stage hands used to lift R2 looks bad. It just looks like he is being lifted up by a platform on a jack. I guess I think it ought to look like everything is floating on a space station, just bobbing up and down and not so static.

Yes I'm thinking of the rock specifically...when it touches down on the other rock...it's definantly on a string...
Attack of the Clones: Alternate Timeline Edit Thread:

I posted this yesterday, but it was lost in the flurry of posts. Peter Meyhew turned 65 yesterday. (May the 19th)
Regarding the trailer: Wonderful!! Really spectacular. I love the Cloud City reveal.
2 Things I noticed and wanted to point out:
- At 1:08 the Ties should be firing! Please put at least a few laser shots back in, it added more tension to the scene! I know it draws our eye from the amazing revamped asteroid field, but the shot needs something, I think. Otherwise the Ties just get in a line behind the Falcon and run into wayward asteroids.
- At 1:44 the taun-taun's motion doesn't look as fluid as the other shot in the trailer (which just looked superb). I love the footprints, though!
I like this trailer even better than your Wampa preview! Haha.

IM SO LOVING THE NEW TRAILER ABOVE
Trailer looked good.
one thing, the scene with Han riding the tantaun with the new background looks cartoonish. He is covering too much ground it seems like.

He has a lot of ground to cover in a very short time (it takes the snowspeeders a while to find them in the morning) so presumably Tauntauns are swift beasties otherwise Luke would be dead and Boba Fett would be Lando's coffee table ;-)
If the shot looks fake at all it's not the new background but the original model that's the problem and there is only so much you can do with a stop motion element (it does look a lot smoother now).
For MPlayer, try the -noaspect switch.

I have to say this trailer feels like a trailer to a film I've not seen yet.

I must be on total crack, but I must have missed Doubleofives visual comparison shots? I've read every page, where are the comparisons? Are they the ones on page 1, or did he do some new ones? Thanks

ESB Trailer! Yipee! The new Cloud-City introduction shot it a total joy crying shot. Mind blowing.

Thanks vaderios....excellent comparison pics doubleofive! Peace!
I like that Cloud City approach so much I may just have to bring my mother over here and show her. We usually don't come here when I bring her out to get groceries and such, but man... I think she'd say "wow," just like I did.
And if her memory serves her well enough, she may also be watching the trailer and say regarding a clip I did show her a few weeks ago "why aren't the TIEs firing at the Falcon anymore?" We're all wondering that... ;)
It's sometimes a little disheartening to show clips like these to people who haven't put any thought into the subject. The geenral response, I've found, is "Looks a little better, I guess. What did he change?" :facepalm: Ah well- I find the level of meticulousness and effort to be incredible. And I also love that shot of cloud city- so... pretty...
I say yes to Lasers because it adds more color to the scene. Also eliminates the chances that the eye focus on bad masks and mattes.
How about the Tie fighters have pink laser color? (jk ofc)

Love the trailer! And, as everyone else has said, the Cloud City reveal...well, it's a good thing I had a change of underwear handy.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
The consensus is....
This is a beautiful shot.
All that could be done to make it better would be to add couple of bright orange Tibanna Gas Platforms in the foreground to help clutter the shot, a reference to the EU character Dash Rendar and maybe a space slug diving in and out of the clouds in the distance to offer a sense of foreboding.
:P

^And another instance of yes, it looks great as a still shot, but wait'll you see it in motion! :o
^Indeed.
Wonderful Trailer!
005- the comparisons don't mention that the TIE's color is changed from blue to white
^I second that indeed. I love to death the little camera shake added to it (or maybe it was there and I didn't really notice it) and the glow behind Bespin. Perfectly and very professionally done.
Is anyone working on a shot for shot comparison trailer? That would be the perfect thing to show someone that hasn't been following and might not notice or appreciate Adywan's extensive work.
Hey look, a bear!
I like the idea of a comparison trailer, but that might take a lot of editing. If someone's up to it though, that would be awesome.
Curiously Ady, why did you move Obi-Wan's head closer to the center? I mean, taken as it is, it makes more sense for the shot, but if it's a back-and-forth between him and Luke, then from a filmmaker's perspective having him on the right is better. In the corresponding shots of Luke, is Luke on the left side? If not, then it isn't as big an issue. Generally speaking though, you don't want stuff behind the actor when he's looking off-screen in the opposite direction- makes the audience nervous, as if there's stuff we should be looking at in the empty space.
Just saw the trailer and everything looks so awesome. I have tried to keep my expectations around average for everything, but now they have just skyrocketed. I cannot wait for this to come out. Seems like 2010 is forever. Good luck with your building adywan and great job!!
Thanks for the inspiration Ady, worked on my poster again with some Adywan screenshots added to the mix :-)
