@Harmy: Cheers for the feedback Harmy! I am actually in total agreement with you here, I hadn't noticed the improved continuety between the hatch opening in the tunnel and the hatch opening outside in the special edition, thanks for pointing that out. I'm definately leaning towards leaving it as it is in the blu-ray, one of the good changes IMHO, like you say.
@Darf Muffy: I know where you're coming from but while you find the second CG hatch very jarring, I find the bright white light going to nowhere just as jarring in terms of lighting continuety. What I can do if you want is upload the version of this scene with just the one hatch using Harmy's matte footage for you in high quality and when I upload the finished release of ESB, you can use a program called TSMuxer and simply cut out the special edition hatch and reinstate the original theatrical hatch. If you don't know how to do that, I can run you through the whole process step by step no problem, its quite simple. Then you'll have the version you want of ESB without me having to upload another 50GB just for a single change.
As for all the guys in the cantina, i'm not changing anything there so that's all staying specialised, all the changes there look pretty good IMHO and are improvements as far as i'm concerned.
