The original cut of the cave scene is perfect, along with the  music. It's only when you get to the butchered Special Edition version that this scene falls apart.

We have to hear the Wampa roaring in the background. It sets up the peril. If it was silent apart from ambient sounds then it would just look like Luke was just trying to escape from a cave. There is no threat there at all. It's the Wampa's roaring that wakes Luke. Hearing the Wampa getting closer and seeing just a part of him as he approaches builds the tension. Is Luke going to be able to escape in time?

But then they ruined this for the Special Edition. It's the whole Jaws thing. If they had been able to do a better shark then it would have been on screen more and the film wouldn't have had the same impact. And this was proved with all the extra Wampa footage. Sometimes the limitations of technology at the time can create something perfect.

So the scene will be as it was in 1980 but with a new Wampa added in a couple of shots.

I realize the only way I will get this across is by doing a very rough experiment cut to try to show you what I mean... If you think it's crap that is fine don't bash me though... I want to see your Wampa don't get me wrong... It's so hard to explain this on the page.. Bear in mind it's extremely rough only to get the concept over.

Of course it's your edit and you can do what you like with it but I am trying to get a different concept over to you to consider and it's proving too difficult to put on paper... With a bit more work your puppet and changing the sound mix I think it would be much more enhanced than even the original. Concept video in link below

I'm not sure you know what "more enhanced" means.

IMO I don't like it. I agree with all of Adywan's changes up 'til now. But SW should always be child friendly, his new Wampa is so mind bendingly scary that it could potentialy traumatise younger children ;-)

VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

I know right? I literally fainted when I saw this new Wampa for the first time. Oh, I'm going to have nightmare tonight.

(But, I guess George Lucas would say "this is the how I've always invisioned the Wampa to look.")

This is the complete Wampa sequence. As you can tell, Adywan has done it once again: kept the original tension build-up and surprises us with the terror of the wampa. Please note that the green screen background in some of these new wampa shots are not finished, Adywan has confirmed that he will replace them with something.

Luke reaches for his light saber

We see a small glimpse of the wampa

Luke gets his lightsaber and breaks free

The wampa rushes in for the kill

To make it more kid-friendly, Luke slices at the ceiling, causing a rock to fall and hit the wampa on the head

Luke rushes out of the Wampa cave

These next few new shots are just amazing pieces of work.

The Wampa starts to get up

Luke runs over a snow hill

The Wampa makes his way out of the cave

Luke sees the wampa behind him and he continues to run

The Wampa climbs on top of a mountain and sees that luke is to far way to try and catch so he lets out a roar of anger

Luke runs into the blizzard

 

Man, Adywan, your new costume looks really amazing. It must have taken a long time to make. Can't wait to see what you do with the Rancor. :)

That would totally work if Frink ever does the Special Editions. ;)

On a more serious note, was anything done to fix the distance between Luke and the Wampa when he swipes? Either via roto, the new Wampa, trimming an edit, or moving the sound of the cut/Wampa scream over the next shot (clean shot of snow) prior to the arm falling into frame? 

The pacing in this scene was always so gripping and tense for me as a child, right up until luke swipes at nothing while we hear the cut/scream and then see the hand fall into frame.

In defense of The Nerd, everyone knows that it really is -3,000,000 degrees Celsius on Hoth based on Lucas' tinkering on the 1997 Special Edition.

The Nerd... come on, man. I keep trying to jump in and joke around a little bit to diffuse the tension from some of your posts, but you make it difficult.

Yes, the concept was "slightly" amusing, but look around and embrace the tone of the forums.

You're going to find a difficult crowd for blatant humor and unresearched arguments. The people working on this project are very detail oriented, to the point that most people would term it obsessive.

It's always nice to have new members, but sometimes it's good to take a step back and read the posts from other people to get a sense of how everyone will react to what you say. Also, don't ever try and present your opinions or assumptions as fact - they will tear you apart. I know, I've been there :P

So really, to avoid any more negative interactions with people around here, consider my advice. Sometimes it is all of us who are in the wrong, but face it: There are more of us and we're bigger than you.

PS: When trying to determine what is acceptable and not acceptable, please ignore TVs Frink. He's special.

PLOTTING THE SCALE FOR THE HOTH TRANSPORT HANGAR MINIATURE:

Using foam board, i have cut out some rough plates so i can determine what the final scale for the miniature will be. I have used a 1/72 Fine Molds X-wing to determine the scale. The pepsi can is there to give you an idea of the size of this thing...

It's to replace the background in this shot, in case anyone is not sure which one i'm talking about....
