LOL I'm in Australia. Melbourne hit 43-45 for a few days this last summer, and then had a 47° day a week later (coupled with the worst bushfire in our history). It wasn't fun.

This is slightly ahead of itself, but there isn't a Jedi thread and while we're all going full throttle with the matte paintings, here's one I'm working on for Jabba's palace.

I am probably going to put another canyon wall on the left, rather than leaving it as one entirely open plain, and will probably remove the rock feature in the distance. But the right-hand side and sky are pretty close to how I want them.

Wow. That is incredibly photorealistic (probably because you used elements from photos), and I love it!

Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!! It fits the overall colouring of the OT and the even better thing about it is IT DOESN'T LOOK FAKE (fake like the CGI george lucas' buddies have been making since 97)

 

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I think the rocky plain helps sell it. There is more painted stuff in there than you realise; the sky (borrowed from one of my other paintings) and mountain line are completely new, Jabba's palace is adapated from two of the original matte paintings, and most of the canyon wall is new. The only photo elements I used (for speed as much as anything) are the dry plain, the rock feature in the distance and the foremost rock surface on the right.

I added the moons last off because there wasn't enough going on in this big open space. It still needs a lot of work; the left canyon wall, removing the rock feature (I don't like it now) and I might add some element of a hangar entrance in the canyon wall.

Something that did occur to me don't Gas Giants have insanly fast rotation speeds.

Jupiter day is like 10 hours and Saturan like 11.

Yeah we were discussing this on an earlier page - the four gas giants in our solar system have the fastest axial rotations of all eight planets, with Jupiter and Saturn (the largest two) being the fastest two. So now I like to think Han and Leia were only on Bespin for about nine hours :-)

Real facts and science on my Star Trek? Never! Star Trek thinks it's much harder sci-fi than it is. Not that it's the worse for being completely implausible — look at Star Wars. We prefer SW to be inexplicable, vide the midichlorians backlash.

But Star Wars isn't inexplicable, nor is Star Trek. The way all drama works is, if it isn't shown to be different it's the same. That's obviously referring to the structure of the universe of any given movie or book, etc. Implicit readings of plot are completely different, but as for how audiences understand a universe without it being explained to them, that's the rule.

And anyway, most of the things we see on Star Trek or Star Wars are simple to understand dramatically, and so they don't require explanation; Warp speed, or light speed? It just means going really fast and has no other bearing on the drama. Transporter beams? A quicker way of getting up and down from ship to planet. Light sabres? Just swords but made of laser that cuts through things. And so on.

It's not so much that Star Wars is inexplicable, more that it just doesn't need explaining.

What about all those other round (and half circle) windows seen fleetingly in the dining room scene and out side the room? No one notice those?

If anything, I think that the sky in the original window is too hazy. Otherwise, I think that the quick mockup is too desaturated, wrong angle, too sharp, too many buildings etc. as has been previously pointed out.

I think that the sky should resemble the sky from the scene with Leia in the window and it has only a little haze in the distance.

 

About the time of the arrival:

RoccondilRinon said:

Either way, all the action at Cloud City after their arrival takes place over a single day — same day if they arrive at sunrise, next day if they arrive at sunset.

I disagree. It must have been different days. I think at least three days .. if the days are as long as on earth.

Leia complains about not having heard of C-3PO for a long while. Han is later tortured for a long while, Lando and Vader argue and Han gets frozen all before Luke arrives - while the sun is still up. This means that if all that had happened on the same day, then Han and Leia would have met Vader for Lunch.

1. The time between early morning and lunch is not long enough time for Chewie to start worrying and go and search for C-3PO and then find C-3PO at the most unlikely spot. Chewie would have taken more time to wait for C-3PO to show up by himself, and then take longer time to search for the droid.

2. The repairs may take some time. We have already seen that they were difficult. If they took only a couple of hours to complete, then they would have been done already.

3. Why would Lando say "You truly belong here with us
among the clouds." to a girl that he has just met? He is smooth, but not that smooth to pull that off.

The script mentions the time-of-day of the arrival as "dawn". However, the SE throws that around by inserting the longer landing sequence. In that sequence, most of the buildings windows are lit. I find it more likely that the windows would be lit at dusk than in the very very very early morning. I also get the impression that the sky is darker on the platform than when Millenium Falcon is in the clouds.

To me, an arrival at dusk would also carry the symbolism that their chase is over.

Later, I think that the preparation of the carbon freezing chamber, Han's torture, Chewie's work on the droid and Luke's flight would take some time.

I amended my Tosche Station matte; I added mountains to give it greater depth, a larger vapirator and, just for fun, Luke's speeder.

Once again wonderful stuff and once again in the wrong thread Mr V.

++UPDATE++ just noticed you moved it along while I was posting.

Indeed I did. I'd delete it but I seem to be overlooking the delete post button somehow. Am I going mad?

I asked Jay about being able to delete multiple PMs at once and he said they're 'working on it.' I really, really hope so...
