I agree. I never thought this edit would have gone this far. I originally thought that Ady was just going to color correct, fix the continuity errors, and change some of the problems the SE version caused. Now it's going through some major visual changes, and all of the suggestions that have come along ( with concept pics ) have also made a massive impact. This is edit is kind of approaching a point ( for me at least ) where it loosing it's appeal. While a few of the suggestion have been really cool, alot have been a crazy. Like the latest one where someone wanted leia's "look, Star destroyer"line changed.

With ESB, I don't think there is much broken with the film that needs repairing. ESB is beautiful in so many ways that Ady wants pay tribute to it by giving it a loving, clean, and a nice new frame.

As always the Revisited series are an attempt address the problems with the SE not with the theatrical version.

In terms of the OT ROTJ, there are problems in every version, and may actually give Ady a more free canvas to play with than working with the first two films, which are held with such high regard.

That said, just look back at the ta'do with "Lando Lives" to see how frustrating changing ROTJ might be in the future.

I fully agree with you regarding EBS and ROTJ, although killing Lando off in ROTJ is still a mistake in my opinion.

He may have been being sarcastic and/or facetious.

TV's Frink is the best fantasy baseball player in the world.

See? Like that. ;)

Maybe Leia's line would be seen differently if Han's reaction to it had been different too. As it is, he sounds very calm and collected, as is her delivery of her line. It's just small talk in a very dangerous situation. Haha.

If memory serves, killing Lando was a joke that people took seriously.

I'm fairly certain it wasn't/isn't a joke and it's a distinct possibility for ROTJ:R.  If Ady wants to do it, there's a whole helluva lotta work to do to get it right.  The least of which is the music cue playing as the Falcon shoots out of the DS2.  The score wouldn't feel right as is if the Falcon gets blowed the eff up before making its escape.  But that's nothing to worry about now. :)

Back to the musings at hand:  I never took issue with the "Star Destroyer." line in the past, but I can't stand the "Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?" line from Hoth.  Man that guy's voice and delivery have always rubbed me the wrong way!

Hmm.  I must have missed that post.  Okay, so there it is.  A joke it was. :)

I know my mother would hate it if he died. :p

Indeed, all the females of the universe would mourn the loss of such a smooth operator.

But I think even the "Two fighters against a star destroyer?" line pales in comparison to the delivery of ROTJ's "Copy, gold leader."

The only line in ESB I'd consider changing is the obvious one that's already being taken care of: the old "Alert my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival"

Not to worry Bingowings, the term "Crazy" was just used for theactrics, and not accusing you of being insane.  No one here that I can recall of is actually crazy, just crazed thats all. ;P

In my opinion, that scene is perfect as is.  Don't forget, you had Irvin Kershner as Director on this. Far better than what Lucas could have done if he had directed this himself.   I think Kershner wanted Carrie to play that line of dialog off as natural as she could as Princess Leia during a serious moment. After all she is in charge during the escape from Bespine. Leia is a pretty calm, focused and collective character. A little moody at times but she never plays backseat to anything, even though shes actually sitting in a back seat during that scene. A trait that I think alot of people seem to not notice for some reason.  I doubt Ady makes any change of that type to that scene.

However, Ady could reconstruct that scene visually where the executor appears in some other fashion after she mentions it. One idea would be to have it much further back in the distance, and rapidly getting closer as the Falcon approaches.

Having the Executor as close as it is when she says the line is what the problem is really all about, and not the line itself. Thats what I would be suggesting to ady instead of the line change.

How about it Ady?

Cheers brash_striker, and cheers to Bingowings for bringing up the issue to begin with.

LOL, thats priceless Bingo! If I can make out that scene description, it appears to say "While not a master of intellect, the blatantly obvious things we often take for granted never escape his keen eye" . And the horse looking at the guy as a carrot; this illustrator was very creative.

Anyway, I guess we will have to see whether or not Ady wants to change it.

LOL, thats one f**cked up character dude! Please tell me there is not a toy figure for this...
