I'll admit, I've never really understood why you're going to be new filming physical elements for ESB:R. Would it be too much to ask for an explanation of your reasoning? I am confused.

I had a brief exchange with Ady concerning his new filmed elements for the wampa....as I never understood why he'd want to change it either, and I must say he definitely put my concerns to rest. I just checked and would have copied and pasted the pertinent partof the convo, but I had already deleted it. Basically it boils down to Lucas never being able to resepct previously filmed material already included in his movies, and always wanting to go bigger and better when filming new additions. The wampa he filmed for the SE looked nothing like the one in the footage that already existed, and Ady wants to fix this. He is also of the belief that showing so much of the wampa destroyed the suspense of the scene. I definitely felt like I was being very annoying in asking him to justify the changes he was making in an edit that he's doing for free, and for himself, but he was very kind in explaining everything to me, and I think he really understand what it means to be a true fan of star wars and NOT someone who is just bent on giving the movies HIS own spin.
