^A Vectrex machine?! :o
Nice! I wish I had owned a Vectrex back in the day. I have a feeling I would have loved it. They cost a fortune on Ebay now.
I just read through the last 5 or 6 pages, trying to keep up, and I've had a few great laughs along the way. Probably a bit too late in the game, but as far as the "falling mystery object" is concerned, I admit that I have always been a bit confused over what that was. I have always assumed it was "supposed" to be his hand, though it didn't seem to look right, and seemed improbable to me, or maybe a ripped part of his clothing falling or something. It never occurred to me that it was part of the vane breaking off. I think if we heard some type of snapping sound, or maybe saw it actually break off, that would have helped a lot.
I'm just amazed at how much confusion is involved surrounding the entire Cloud City portion of the film. Nothing seems to quite match up, and there's lots of guessing and general confusion as to what this is, what that is, where this place is, etc. It must be a nightmare for Adywan to decide what needs to be fixed and what can stay.
Vaderios, I really liked some of the mock-ups you've been doing involving the weather vane close-ups. Adywan may be right about the perspective possibly being off somehow, but I do like seeing the actual vent in those shots. It somehow looks right to me, especially when you can see in the awesome behind-the-scenes shot that was posted that the vane is actually very, very close to the vent (much closer than I realized, actually). It seems to me that you would be able to see at least some of the vent in at least some of those shots.
