What about this suggestion?
The Golden Idol said:
Ady, I have one more suggestion regarding Yoda in the clip. Right after Luke is unable to raise the X-Wing, Yoda sighs and shakes his head. When he shakes his head, his entire upper body shakes along with it, and it looks puppetlike, as if the head isn't articulated separately. Now I don't know how hard it is to do, but would you be able to stabilize Yoda's body while he shakes his head?
I don't have a problem with that either. He's really old and its not so far fetched that he hasn't got as supple neck movements as someone younger. Just try shaking your head but not moving your neck as much as you normally would and just watch your shoulders and upper body move.

What concerns me more than the body movement with Yoda, which I noticed but didnt really care about, is the scaling of the floating X-Wing as it advances towards Luke. It just seems that the scaling is off.
Yeh, there's something about that shot that always made the X-wing look too small. The scaling is probably correct it's just that it doesn't look quite right due to the compositing. I might tweak this a bit to give the impression that it looks the right scale.

Can you also confirm if it's going to be possible to match the actual shape of the miniature's inset window with the angles seen on the full-scale one, or not?
No, i'm not going to change anything there

Ady, here's a R2-D2 sound generator should you need to create any new pieces

Thanks for the link but it doesn't really work very well and couldn't be used for an edit

Speaking of generators... Any news about the Hoth shield generator? Is it going to be shot as a model or a CGI?
No, it's still going to be a model.

Ady, is this flipped/expanded shot still in:
yes

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! :D
I've two questions:
As seen in my picture below, Yoda has three ridges of skin on his eyelids. However, in one of the newly added blinks, he has four. The blink should look more like Yoda's closed eyes that are in the end of the scene, with the three ridges more stretched out, because in the newly added blink, the fourth ridge suddenly appears from out of nowhere (this is visible in motion). The first added blink, when Yoda says "No! No different, only different in your mind!" is perfect, because the eyelids actually stretch over his eyes, but this one looks a bit odd when you look at it closely. Can you fix this, Ady?
Also, Ady, I don't remember this being mentioned, but are you planning to change the red coloring of the bacta tank in the shot where it's visible behind C-3PO? It was clear when Luke was swimming in it...
well you must have been watching it frame by frame to spot that one. It isn't visible when watched at full speed because the blink it too quick. I've fixed it anyway
And the bacta tank is red when luke is in it too. It's just that the bright light used to illuminate it drowned out the red lighting of the tank. It's even more impossible to see that it was lit red thanks to the crappy colouring of the 2004 set. I think it works perfectly well the way it is now.

lol, not sure if this has been mentioned, but I'm listening to the center audio channel of ESB (Adywan's Theatrical Reconstruction, though this is probably the case in all versions)... I'm listening to Vader's speech to Luke just after the reveal, and you can actually hear Jones taking in breaths before the lines. Obviously, since it's Vader talking this shouldn't be heard.
Is it gonna be fixed at all?,
You can hear this throughout the saga so i'm not going to be changing anything.

It might be possible to build a small model of the section of the interior of the medical frigate seen from those angles (enough to get the lighting and a bit of the floor right) and drop it into the shots where the lights are out.
filming a model to replace the inside and then match the camera movements would be impossible. I'll have to find a different way to fix this.

will the frigate engines be changed to have a similar blue glow per the transport and Star Destroyers (or an orange one, or even a more pure white)? As it is, the engine glow is pretty pekid.
May want to also check ship hull colors to make sure they retain consistent coloring (as the prior pre-mod shot frigate hull is brown-grey).
The engines will be getting a tweak, but they will remain yellow as they were originally in 1980
The colouring problem was only introduced in 2004. This was fixed during the colour correction process and can be seen in the ESB AVCHD although reintroducting the subtle brown highlights became impossible without rotoscoping every single highlight

Ady, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I actually have an inside/outside analysis of the medical frigate ongoing, with blueprint of the inside set as well as the frigate model, that should be very helpful to figuring out what should be done with these shots. I've been too busy with other things lately, but I'll try to finish it and post it soon if I can…
That could be very handy to reconstruct the interior to fix the blank window shot. thanks
