So indeed the officers are like stepping on the circular thing or next to it when they inform vader right?(probably next to it because they both are from the right side of it)
response - to clarify, I reckon that Piett steps up onto the bottom step of the 'chamber's' base, and then is ever so slightly unsteady as he walks a couple of steps around it, due to the narrowness of the bottom step he's now on, and not looking down at. (I've rewatched the scene a few times now, and am reasonably sure this was the case...and if you watch where Vader descends the steps towards the 'hologram' area, you can get an idea of how the step is not very wide in relation to him) As far as Veers is concerned, it's difficult to tell if he's standing on the bottom step of the 'chamber' or the floor. However, I'm fairly convinced that neither of the actors stepped onto the smaller, circular prop during their scenes.

So that leads why vader went from his chamber to the spot and didnt came directly from the door . Its like entered the door, entered the chamber, came out from the chamber to push the big button on the floor.
Flawless logic :P
Or it might be at the end the supposed deleted scene of ROTJ would be the previous shot of vader walks out of the chamber... who knows
response - perhaps he was taking a quick 'toilet break' in there, before he addressed the Emperor? Seriously, this is something else that I've been meaning to comment on, so I'm glad you brought it up. It's no biggie at the end of the day, but I do have some thoughts on it that might interest you, and I'll sort out the relevant screenshots I need when I have time to go into it soon.

Ady did you considered the idea of making the door leading to vader be longer and more isolate rather is next to a populate hall?
response - I'm very curious to know if adywan's going to radically change this shot of Piett's entrance too...due to the fact that I reckon it ties in nicely with the steps we see Vader descending in a different shot, which are just around the corner from the 'control room' next to the 'bridge'...which I equally went into at length last year. Coincidentally, I was actually going to mention this very shot of Piett's entrance too, when I get around to my thoughts on the Vader/'chamber' shot mentioned above...as there's something about it that may be relevant to what I'm going to suggest about that Vader/'chamber' shot. :)
euroherbal, those were some interesting comparisons. I hadn't even noticed this before, so it was a new one to me. :) Personally, I can live with the same exact portion of the set being seen in both of the Emperor's 'hologram' views you showed, as the 'pylons and tubes' are a random mix of lengths and shapes, and managed to *seem* to look different to me in each shot...due to the fact that the shots are filmed from different camera angles. Thankfully, due to that change of camera angle, and the random detailing of the wall set, I reckon the backdrop will continue to *seem* to be different between the 2 shots...without distracting me. And I'm still happy enough to *believe* that the whole room could be a sort of '8' shape, rather than a big single circle or oval shape...as the wall seen in the 'side onwards' shot of the 'hologram' just doesn't look like it's able to convincingly wrap around the offscreen 'chamber' behind Vader in one continuous circle or oval, unfortunately. Of course, it was never built properly to do so, it turns out...so this '8' thing works better for me overall.
And if you scroll back up to my large shot of the 'side onwards' view of the 'hologram', you'll see another good example of how the difference in colours between the SE version and the 'original' version is not even funny anymore...
As well as all that, I'd just like to remind everyone that you've still got about a month left to get a link to the marvellous, full 'Vader/Emperor' scene, if you can spare a little to donate towards the cause for adywan's various still-much-needed materials etc., at this point in time (click on the bottom link of adywan's 'signature' for details)
Just a thought, but I'm curious to know what's the most anticipated fix/addition or whole scene that people here are looking forward to seeing eventually. Is it say, the new colour-correction overall?...or the new Wampa?...or finding out if adywan was just kidding about not making the AT-AT laserbolts green, or not?... It's a tough choice to pick just one I reckon, but I'm going to choose the eventual 'Falcon/TIEs chase through the asteroid canyon' as being my most anticipated fix, as it was always the one truly disappointing effects scene in the movie for me, whenever I rewatched the movie over the years. Not the way it was composed, but the really shoddy execution of it compared to the shots that came before and after it. It's great to know it's getting a complete overhaul. :)
