Oh, man. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, Ady. Take all the time you need; the project, and we your loyal fans, can wait. Family's more important. :)

This new version looks great. The original does look like a video game. And Angel, I spotted a few differences between versions.
1- letter color change
2- environment/creature color change
3- added fog
4- browned Yoda's cloak and removed the blue from his face
5- changed R2's light color
6- removed the original artist's signature =(
Now lets Suicide...

Sorry to hear about your mother's health. She's in a similar situation to my own grandmother. The best to all of you!
This is not related to Star Wars and I don't want to fill Ady's thread with this, but Angel here my tweak of a poster.
This poster was created mixing the colour pallets of the first 3 film's posters and a lot of tweaking. It now looks more like the Original Indy Trilogy's posters. For those who want the full version just PM me. Do what you like with it.
"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 hate to be a kiljoy but all these art tweaks (as lovely as they are) really should be filling up the art section that Jay added :

The pic on the right looks like a shot from "Sky Captain"... or from "The Halfblood Prince". I know the original pic has a blue tint, but the mockup is worse IMHO.
I just think he needs to lay off the Sharpening filter in Photoshop a bit. ;) Sometimes it looks great, sometimes I find it's a bit much. But overall, very cool pic. I like the red lights very much!
I guess the Snowtrooper goes over to a console or intercom to inform the troops in the back.
I thought that. Veers gives the order and the trooper gives it to the others? No indication of anything? less is more. anyways.

Whats wrong with these movies ?

I always look forward to vaderios mock ups
I personally feel the look he gives the images are awesome
Ady, my thoughts and prayers go out to your mother, and you have the support of all of your fans. Take the time you need to get your life in order and don't worry about those people who are more concerned about how soon you're going to release your fanedit.
On another note: Why do people post so much stuff in this thread that has NOTHING to do with ESB:R? I'm sorry, but I don't come here to see Indiana Jones posters and DVD cover mockups. I come here to read about changes to ESB, like 90% of the other people here. If you have to say "I know this doesn't belong here" or something, then don't post it here.
Sometimes I read this thread on my phone, and it took five minutes for the last page to load because of Angel's radio poster, which a couple people even quoted, making the page take even longer to load. It's nice-looking, but it has nothing to do with ESB:R.
Im not sure about indiana jones but my mockups are ESB:R related.

PS: Thanks sky_

Angel, I love your work and look forward to your posts almost as much as ady's, but the radio poster has nothing to do with ESB:R. It's "related" to it, but it's not going in the fanedit or mocking-up a screenshot for a possible change.
I'm not trying to start an argument, but it is frustrating waiting for a page to load because of several images that have nothing specifically to do with ady's edit. That's all I'm saying.
I 101% agree with the issue of people quoting pictures to say something inane like "that's cool" or whatever. If there is something constructive behind it, fine, but how often does that happen?
Sorry. This post had nothing to do with ESB:R. Heh heh. ;)
kinda run out of things to talk about that's related to ESB:R after awhile. this is page 596, so we've been here awhile.
Here's something slightly more related

I like how the color is more like Ady's versions than the 04 DVDs
Just brilliant...Can't wait for that!

I'm getting ready for the focus to change from ESB to ROTJ. I know it won't happen now but hopefuly sometime soon. I can't wait to see how good an average SW movie can get.

Well I hope any focus on ROTJ is kept to the likes of the 'ESB/ROTJ Wishlish' for the time being, as I think it's gonna be a while before the 'ROTJ:Revisited' thread comes along.
There's still plenty to do on this present edit, and I know there's quite a bit of 'Empire'-related stuff to come on here yet that hasn't been covered so far, but will be eventually.
Theres not alot yet to do with ESB (from what we've seen and heard from Ady) besides enhancment of backgrounds, panaling, etc. ESB is too good already to be messing with stuff that's going to have to be changed for ROTJ-PT to make them better. There's going to be alot more to talk about for ROTJ changes wise.
hey everyone, i found a list i made a while back with some ESB-R suggestions, thought I'd share it:
There's a terrible fade after the conversation between Luke and 2-1b. I don't know what you guys thinks of this, but those fades are one of the most annoying things Lucas uses – especially in ROTS Lucas overdid the fades. Don't know if you want to keep the awkward fade.
When the AT-AT opens fire on the main generator there is nothing but snow between him and the target – shouldn't there be towers?
The MF escaping from Stardestroyer – Hoth should be in the background, because if they would have been so far away from Hoth, there would be no gravity-shadow and Han would have already tried to jump to hyperspace.
I think it has been mentioned before, but how about replacing Dagobah with the ROTS Dagobah, the current one looks very familiar to Hoth.
How about adding Aura Sing to the Bounty Hunters?
I'm sure it has been mentioned, but the background in the scene where Lando etc. come out of the door – just arw... background.
Luke leaves Dagobah – there's this beautiful deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith where Yoda lands on dagobah and it has a shot of dagobah's cloudy sky - why not use the footage to show the x-wing leaving through dagobah's clouds.
When Chewie safes C3PO, there is an IG-88 model in the background. From the EU I know, that Boba Fett „killed“ this unit, which was following him and dumped it on Cloud City – the awkward thing about this IG-88 is the yellowish tint, because IG-88 is clearly black – we could argue that it's not the same IG-88 from the Stardestroyer-bounty-hunter-gang, but for continuity reasons IG-88 would it be possible to colour him black?
I must say that, despite color correction and enhancement efforts, how well do they really work? On VLC Media Player, if you boost the Contrast a LITTLE BIT, and the Saturation a LOT, the lack of color in the original file becomes clear. Here's some stills from Adywan's own ANH Revisited to show just how much better still the color could be. The top is the original, the bottom with the effects on:

Also, here's some images from a 720p version of ROTS. Again, original is on top, effects-on version on bottom:

So will ESB:R be that enhanced?
EDIT: Clearly I don't know how to post images here... can a mod help?

While this is more 'colorful', I think Luke and Han mainly just look sunburned.

Why should there be towers? We didn't see any when the probe droid called in the generator, nor in any other shot. Do you mean those turrets and trenches?

yeah that's what i meant - just some kind of activity or the regular "star wars junk" lying around - it just seems very sterile
