As for the Emperor not smiling...
I never said he doesn't smile, I also never said that the smile looks fake, I merely said that I think he shouldn't smile in that particular scene.
When I wrote, "As for the Emperor not smiling..." I meant it in the sense of "As for your assertion that the Emperor should not smile in that scene..." My apologies for not being clear.
In posting the images, I was merely trying to point out that the Emperor smiles and laughs quite often in ROTJ. I therefore don't see why he should not be smiling during the hologram scene, as it seems to be in character.
This isn't open for discussion, this is just my opinion on this scene. I think it looked fine before with Ady's previous version. If you don't agree than fine, but this isn't some theory you can (dis-)prove or not.
Every single page of this thread is filled with people saying they don't like or do like some change Ady has made. It's his edit, but if everyone else here can make 500 word posts about some change they want pushed through then I don't see why I can't make a comment on something I disagree with.
Not to sound like an ass, but the whole point of a discussion forum is for people to have a conversation and share ideas. If you don't want others to comment on your opinions, you may want to refrain from sharing them in the future. And although people obviously don't need to "prove" their opinions, it does help the conversation along if they provide reasons for them.
