But seriously, they could be the ones that show up behind our heroes. Turned around when they heard Leia shooting at Slave 1.

 Yeah, thats what I had thought as well (turns out its only 1 ST and 1 bespin guard though....not 2 ST's)

(also only just noticed for the first time that the bespin guard and boba are really transparent in their closeup, you can see the clouds through them......how DID these mistakes get past QC in '97?)

...what about those 2 stormtroopers that were watching Solo be loaded aboard?  Would we see them walking away on the platform? 

 That would actually make alot of sense.

More work for you. ;-)

I also figured they cleared out quickly -- I know I wouldn't want to be standing next to a spaceship as it's blasting off. The platform being empty to me seemed quite reasonable. 

Agreed, though personally this part of the story felt (to me at least) like it was played out in more or less real time. Lando tells them theres still time to save Han, they go running off to do so.....and its not like Fett was gonna be waitin around for anything...once his bounty was loaded onboard he'd be outta there.

On another note I just noticed that the stormtrooper that Chewie takes out after the departure of Slave1 moves quite a far distance across the floor between shots......all while suffering from a laser blast to the armour (which as you all know is instantly fatal to ST's)

I see that you've now confirmed that you've still to overhaul that corridor shot where we see Slave 1 through the windows, adywan.  Will look forward to seeing how it turns out eventually..

My own thoughts on this sequence is that it *doesn't* happen in 'real time' throughout...as I always looked on the gang running towards Slave 1 at that point, then cutting to the doorway opening to reveal them all...as being another of those brief 'jump-ahead-in-time' moments that are scattered throughout the movies.

The one of Lando walking through the city with our heroes towards the waiting Vader is one example in ESB...and it took me a while to realise that Vader disappearing around the Executor's corridor to contact the Emperor, then cutting to the Executor leaving the asteroid field, then cutting back to Vader descending the stairs of his 'chamber'...was merely another, rather than the weird Vader positioning mistake I used to think it was, lol.

As well as the particlular distance away from our heroes that the Slave 1 is made to look at this point in the corridor (nice mock-up on the previous page by the way, slavedater), the main reason this scene stikes me as yet another brief 'jump ahead' example, is because of the positioning of R2D2 in relation to the sets between the shots - When the door opens, there are now stairs and other features right behind R2 that weren't there behind him and the others in the extremely brief moments it takes for that doorway to open... 

And I also meant to say in my previous post that it was neat to finally see the missing 'canopy' of Slave 1 in place as it takes off, too!  Looks great. :)

It seems to me that if we are jumping ahead in time as Ziz and Imp have said, than the cloud formation behind Slave 1 should have moved a lot more (given the wind speed). As it is now, they're the exact same clouds, in almost exactly the same position at the end of the clip. Even in the 15 seconds of time that elapses on screen between Fett loading Han into his ship and Slave 1 climbing away, I feel that the clouds should've moved further to the right.

When he's done with Jedi, I'd like to see a collaborative effort to reboot the prequels. It's a shame nobody I trust with the idea has taken up the mantle. This is where I think the next logical step should be taken. Forget the idea of polishing a turd of the existing prequels. Ady I think honestly you have enough talented people (I include myself) that we all could get together and do a new prequel. We could do it with today's technology in the retro style, without all the fancy schmancy crap that litters the new films. I know you must have thought about it. I would do it myself if I had the same following as you. People are behind you because of your dedication to making the OT what it NEEDS to be. Well, you would have the same dedication but intensified ten-fold if you were to helm a project such as that. I alone have an extensive amount of knowledge and material to loan and would give an enormous amount of my personal time to such an undertaking. 

I dunno, just chew on that for a while. There are literally way too many people to count that would jump on board. We're all a little crazy when it comes to the OT. That's why we're all here right? We're the only ones who understand each other. 

Agreed on that.

With this new four minute clip of awesomeness being about 90mb in size I'm wondering how large the MKV version of the final film is likely to be. I know it's been said that the blu ray will be 25gb but that'll include extra features too. Just thinking ahead about whether the MKV will fit onto a memory stick!

Nerd-fail, doubleofive! Even if it was big enough to fill that, you couldn't put it on as FAT32 has a limit of 4GB for individual files :-p

Here's the cue for a bigger nerd to point out a workaround to this and make me feel small ;-)

I'm sure I read somewhere that formatting small flash memory modules as NTFS gradually reduced the capacity or did some other damage....that's why I took it for granted people would be using FAT32 :-)

I've read recently that mkv is no longer the preferred format for HD video rips, and mp4 is now becoming more prominent. I wonder if Adywan will be reconsidering the mkv release in light of that.

MKV is just a container, not a format. You can put an MP4 in an MKV. The point of MKV is that it allows multiple audio streams and subtitle files to be contained in one file. As far as I know, it will always be the preferred delivery system for HD rips.

4GB RAM, not file size.

I had to re-format my media player drive to FAT32 because it kept having 'magic moments of FAIL' when deleting files via my laptop.

So a NTFS memory stick is probably the way to go for me.

I was thinking of getting hold of a set of these for Star Wars edits of that size.

They would make nice presents for people with USB reading televisions.

Urban legend I think... All my hard-drives, portable hard-drives and USB sticks are NTFS and given some are 5 years old, they're all good :-p

Maybe they meant that as the filesystem size gets smaller, using NTFS leaves less available space for user data since it's overhead is bigger (thus taking up a larger percentage of total space)?

It might also cause the media to wear out faster if NTFS is more write heavy than another FS since the number of writes to flash memory is more limited than magnetic media.

That's what it was :-) The article I read must have exaggerated it a bit though.
