Here is this years Revisited clip for Christmas. This scene is mostly complete apart from the overhead gantry matte shots( just after Luke gets his hand cut off), where i will be replacing the background matte and one close-up shot of Vader. This scene uses the Blu-rays as a source.
Thanks! I like that you fixed the wobbling helmet and made the tubes glow where they were cut.
I had not noticed before that there was an echo to Luke's voice. I think that an echo feels unnatural in that environment. I checked that scene on a laserdisc-rip (OOT) a few times. Apparently, it has been there all the time. Too bad..
However, I also noticed the colours of the windows in the chasm. The elongated windows ("dotted line") are not red in all shots, but sometimes much more orange. In that way, the BluRay is actually closer to the original.
I would like to propose that you make all elongated windows that are now red changed into a more consistent hue of reddish orange. That change would provide a richer image and be more true to the original, I think. I also think that the hue does not need to be so saturated. Saturated colours attract the eye, and the lights are supposed to be in the background.
I also think that you could add some haze to your new matte paintings of the chasm. That would improve the sense of scale.
