Well, apart from that one of Leia, but that only kicks off the events of the rest of the movie ;)

Well, I just discovered the Adywan edit and I must say that it is near-perfect!

The ONLY thing that would have put his edit over the top for me, would have been if during Vader's first entrance - that for sake of continuity - Adywan had added the music cue from Empire when Vader enters the Bespin torture chamber to view Han's torture.


I temped the track to ANH and it works and fits perfectly - even to the point that the French Horns in the cue that follows Vader and his TKs past camera frame almost sound like Williams scored that scene this way.

I find your lack of faith…disturbing

I'd be interested in seeing/hearing that INVAR. Would you be kind enough to post that on Youtube for us?

Adywan couldn't of messed with such a famous opening scene like that. I think the cue is perfect the way it is and is one of a couple things in these movies that can't be changed no matter how good the idea. Adding music wouldn't be necessary considering how well known that scene is.

The only thing that should be upgraded is the still lame Ben/Vader duel. The music adds alot, but doesn't sell the strong emotion that should be felt in the duel.

I wouldn't mind someone giving it a go, it works well as it is but experimentation is the only way to know for sure if it may produce an equal but different or better result ( maintaining the ambient background sound is the main problem).

There are some clips on youtube of this. It would need to be a slow and dark version of the Imperial March.


The only thing is, is that the Imperial March is used alot in the movies. It would need to stand out more.

Totally agree on this one. Putting the march in ANH will detract from it's use in ESB, when Vader becomes a lot more menacing as his motives come to the fore.

I love the hologram idea for the Death Star conference room. Great idea.

Angel, great work on the hanger shots. Not wild about what you did with the shots with Tarkin and Leia. Something about the lighting bugs me.

Anywho, here is my contribution from the Axia Edition list of ideas. Vader has a lightsaber, no silly door would stop him.

I don't remember if Ady did something with the shot of the red R2 unit that still can be seen behind R2 D2 after he had a malfunction?

I think that was one of the first things to go

The last few times I've watched the movie, I kind of hoped for something like this.  I just assume that he started cutting while we weren't looking.

Now, what size of man-sized hologram are we talking; Kenny Baker-sized or David Prowse-sized? ;)

Except it's completely pointless. Why would Vader destroy the door? Letting the Falcon escape was part of the plan. It's a trap remember?

Seriously, I forget that every time.  Of course, the TIEs could the only part of "letting them go", now that they were away, might as well put that tracking device to good use! *shrug*

 Couldn't Vader just walk the next 20 or so feet and use the door on the right of the shot?

He'd have to cut through the wall he had Obi-Wan backed up to. :-P

Things I'd like to see tweaked:

The Tatooine Millenium Falcon escape scene. The star destroyer the falcon flies by looks so odd. Stiff and out of place.

The added planet where the Death Star originates from. Looks good but doesn't mesh with the rest of the CG very well.

Tweak the added TIE Fighter scenes so the blend better.

Add the other solar panel(left) to the TIE that Luke destroys saving Biggs.

Fix the red TIE Fighter in the Battle of Yavin (seen in the middle of trio flying away in distance).

Things I'd like to see added:

The Death Star slipping into hyperspace from planet of origin.

Porkins not dying.

The Death Star slipping into hyperspace from planet of origin

When?

Author
Time

Presumably at the end of the sequence where it's orbiting that planet.

It might be fun to see it entering the Yavin and/or Alderaan systems too.

Sometimes however the model looks less impressive than it could do usually when it's over lit or too small in the frame.

Porkins has to die but at least one Y-Wing pilot needs to be spared to justify the ships we see surviving the attack.

The one thing that has bugged me since the EU and prequels established "Darth" as a title, not a name:  editing out Obi-Wan's constant use of it during the final duel and replacing it with "Vader."   To me, at least, it's a glaring continuity error, and annoying even in context with the other two original movies, as everyone uses "Vader" when not using his full title.

Something witty.

It always seemed to me like a sarcastic use of the title, almost as if he is saying, hey, "Darth", look where that got you.
