Ah sneaky! It was hard to tell it was even there! Which is a good thing, I might add.

Looks amazing!! Only thing that feels a bit... pointless, I guess... is the text on Vader's viewscreen. The border is fine, but what's the purpose of that small text on the sides (even being sideways on the right) that would be impossible to read from that distance?
Bwaaa, suspension of disbelief in the sense that Vader perhaps cán see that text trough his helmet (as you know from Ep III, the lenses in his helmet are quite sophisticated).
And I should probably stop watching all those wonderful clips...otherwise little more surprises left (but it's so darn fun!)

The HUD on the screen and the glass animations were flawless, though they do come across as kind of prequelish.
Plus, in moderation it's not distracting but just interesting to watch light up and jiggle around ^^
Loving the new clip.
Though I can't tell if the left side of the HUD is distracting because it's covering Ozells face, or just because I know it's new. Hmmmm...
If it were put to a vote, I would say "no" to the text on the viewscreen. Is there a compelling reason it's there other than "cool"?
Everything else looked great!
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.
the hud on Vader's screen seems a little superfluous... not a major thing but it does stick out.
on the other hand the new graphics on the rebel screens were very much needed! everything else is fantastic too. begone blue Hoth! begone!
I like the outline thats been added on the inside edge of the screen....but I'd have to agree that the text makes it look a tad like a tactical display. I applaud the addition of them elsewhere but Vaders communication between himself and a man he's about to kill should be kept simple.
I'm going to agree with the non-text people. The text boxes are a little much.

I could only watch it in a staccato fashion as my ancient alien laptop and crummy internet connection doesn't work too well with that video hosting site.
It makes sense to me that there would be information around the screen.
Vader is a multi-tasking sort of guy.
It probably says things like :
A. Meditate On The Futility Of Hope.
B. Empty organic waste canister.
C. Choke Ozzel.
D. Arrange Meeting With General Veers.
E. Brush teeth.
I can't tell if the screen comes on or not and if the information is on before it cuts to the bridge camera (tomorrow I will have a look on the big computer).
But if it is general information it would make sense if that is always on and the bridge footage is underlaid beneath it.
For those that want a less compressed version without the blu-ray comparison:
I'm in the Bingowings camp, I liked the addition of the text and border to the screen; makes it seem more like a computer to me (which is what I would think the whole thing is, rather than just being a view screen). So much like a PC desktop it would have menu's etc...

@ Ady, "removed due to a "copyright" (which is suspiciously fast) :(

same here
Glad I'm not alone about the text on the viewscreen. Again, I'm fine with the border, but the text just seems pointless and unrealistic due to the distance.
the link is still active. I just clicked on it and it worked. Hotfile sometimes reports a file is deleted to free users during peak times. try using jdownloader.
EDIT: seems like everyone is having this problem, yet my hotfile account still reports it as available with no copyright flag. I'll try uploading it again as a passworded rar file

My feelings precisely. The text isn't distracting (IMO), and it makes the display seem more sophisticated.

I think the text is just fine. One thing I like about the SW universe is that everything doesn't have to be explained.
So... why is the text there? Who cares. It's there because it's there. There doesn't have to be a reason. First time viewers wouldn't be distracted in the slightest.
Oh, and congrats on the new pad Ady. Glad to hear a 'good news' delay this time around.
If once you start down the dark path... wear comfortable shoes.
I tried it jdownloader and the same no show.
But I've been having problems with it today generally.

Really diggin' the new displays - especially the Hoth displays, which I always found awkwardly sparse and static. ‘Twas wondering - at the very start of the clip, when the Rebel general is consulting one of the screens, is there to be any graphical additions made to that panel? Understandably, it pays to beware of making scenes overwrought, but for tactical visualisations (which these tablets presumably are) the inclusion of new GUIs goes a long way to making more vivid this military environment. And the general is looking at something on that display (seemingly what the Rebel opposite him is drawing/charting on the panel, before the other Rebel interrupts - might make sense to actually see what he's plotting? And that could be a minimal piece of information, which wouldn’t crowd the scene’s composition).
Either way - - top work. This'll be my definitive Empire.
It would be nice to see something similar in ARSE.
MAGNIFIQUE Ady ! you did a great job !thanks for the clip.
Well, that post may have been long, but at least you posted it twice.
EDIT: Someone fixed it....
