This is why the PT falls flat on it's face nine times out of ten.

ESB has a moral centre which is missing in those films.

LUKE : Is the dark side stronger?

YODA : No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

LUCAS AOTC Commentary : We're cementing [Anakin's] determination to become the most powerful Jedi. The only way you can really do that is to go to the dark side because the dark side is more powerful. If you want the ultimate power, you really have to go to the stronger side, which is the dark side. 

 The PTs aren't really prequels......they're remakes. And bad ones at that. He's completely disregarded his own material in making his new movies. So much so that they can barely be considered to follow the same story line.

"Yoda trained Obi-wan....oh no, wait, now its this new guy Qui-Gon. The dark side of the force isn't stronger, its just easier....oh, no, wait...it'd be cooler if I made it stronger....ok, stronger it is. There, now what else can I mess with to suit my own crappy writing? Hmm.....lets see...Leia remembered her mother? Ok, well now theres no way she could have..HA HA! (Note to self: make new pointless character to increase toy sales....tell everyone it'll be one of the major characters in the next movie, but then don't use the character at all.....hmmm...name...name...Aurra....Aurra Sing, perfect!) Oh wait! C3PO has been around the whole time, so he knows the whole story...YES!....oh wait a sec....um, got it! MEMORY WIPE!"

I love it, but I immediately noticed the font change for the episode title. Specifically the R and K. Looks like a condensed variation of Helvetica or Univers. I believe the episode title should be either News Gothic Condensed Bold, or the typeface News Gothic was based on, Franklin Gothic (Medium Condensed Bold, in this case).

EDIT: after a little research and comparisons, it seems that TESB used News Gothic for the episode title whereas the other films used Univers. So I would agree with your apparent decision to fix that.

Freaking sweet, Ady. I can't get a comparision myself, but I'd love to see how this font is different from the one used in ESB.

Is there any way to get the paragraphs to come up at the music cues, or did they add too many lines?

That's just you. that isn't on the file i uploaded. You must have some corruption on the download

Unfortunately no.  I would have to slow down and speed up the crawl in sections to synch each paragraph to the cues because, since the episode number and title was added to the crawls , there is just no way of doing this without the speed changes

I won't put it up on youtube because it will just get blocked in many countries.

It will not be if you dispute the block

yes it probably still will be. I raised disputes with the other videos that were blocked and they remain blocked after months

Ady, maybe that's just me, but the depth of field blur seems a bit sudden, if you know what I mean - like it should be more gradual.

Lord Grievous, I'm seeing that same strobing at the end, as well. I'm also seeing a bit in the beginning:

However, I'm inclined to think that it's probably just my computer and not the video itself. Aside from that, I think the crawl looks AMAZING! Very sharp and clean! =)

I'm not seeing any strobing, so maybe it's a video player thing *shrug* As long as it's not in the original video, shouldn't matter.

I just watched it in VLC and it did the exact same thing that Lord Grievous and Captain Antilles showed.

I just played it with Media Player Classic and it looked fine, so I'm guessing that the mighty VLC has failed us in this case. :p

I'm seeing the same strobing/smearing (looks like fingerprints, actually) in both VLC and Windows Media Player (right click for largeness):

Weird that the problem pops up here but is absent at Ady's end.

At any rate, the crawl looks really good... "sharp and clean" as Captain Antilles put it.  But I also agree with Harmy that the fade at the top of the crawl might be better if it were more gradual (e.g., if you look at my last screen cap, I'm not sure that we should still be seeing "THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" text up at the top by that point).  I'm not sure, though... maybe a more pronounced fade wouldn't look good.  I guess I'd have to see it before forming an opinion.

Lastly, should the text completely disappear earlier than it does?  Around the 1:28 to 1:30 mark, I was expecting the text to disappear but it lingered a bit longer than I think I'm used to.  Maybe I'm just used to seeing certain things at particular moments according to the music.

I didn't mean the fading though, I meant the blur. I'm sure Ady knows what I'm talking about.

That fingerprinting stuff is weird. I did not see it on the Facebook version.

By blur, are you referring to the uppermost portion of the text as it recedes?  If so, I wasn't even aware that it should become blurred.

@ 005: Yeah, that's apparently just some encoding/decoding problem not present in the source file.

Not sure why you think the depth of field is "sudden" because i certainly can't see that, and it is a gradual blur because that is how depth of field is set up.

The crawl actually fades out a few frames earlier than the original. i think you might be thinking of the prequel crawls as the fade out ridiculously early. And you can still see "the empire strikes back" at that point on the original too.

But i'm not trying to recreate the original crawl because there are so many differences in the crawls with each movie. You can just how bad it is here:

This is a new crawl that can be made consistent with all the revisited movies. I don't care if it doesn't match the original perfectly because that is not what i was going for.

I've double checked the original file i uploaded and there is no glitches in it like has been reported and the same file was used for the facebook upload and it doesn't appear there. the only thing i can think of is something got corrupt somewhere down the line. You can clearly see that its a video playback glitch

I did not see any fingerprint glitches using Media Player Classic Home Cinema + the Combined Community Codec Pack.

Looked AOK in MPlayer (but I was using hardware decoding).

Don't think any visible depth of field is appropriate, at least i don't remember it from the originals (i could be wrong).

The original shot was probably set up with a dolly over a table with the text using a specialized tilt/shift lens, by tilting the lens they would be able to tilt the plane of focus to run parallel with the table surface, ensuring sharp focus across the whole text.

This is called the Scheimpflug principle:

Or at least, that's how i would have done it.
