Gentlemen (& Ladies?),
I'm having a great time combing through this thread and the one for ESB:R, though it's taking quite some time.
Apologies if this has already been raised before but...
Something I would love to see fixed in the HD ANH:R are the awful bobble-headed dewback riders. Watch footage of real riding and riders. Yes, the body can and does do a lot of adjusting with the movement of the beast one is riding but the rider generally keeps their head on a steadier horizontal swivel. It looks patently false/unrealistic in the SE. Almost as if they went overboard to show how much movement they could animate. It's either that or they're unenthused and lethargically/half-wittedly carrying out orders, which doesn't read menace enough. Even if they were scanning the ground for tracks rather than the horizon the head movement would be more controlled and not so lazily up and down.
Awaiting your feedback/comments.
(PS: Sure you guys get this all the time but I loooove Star Wars: Revisited! I won't voice my few quibbles with what is a superlative fan edit especially as it appears they've all been mentioned ad nauseam prior to this post.)
To add to that, would there be a way to make the Dewbacks go back to their original appearance (with the elephantine feet, as opposed to the goofy frog feet)? Hell, just adding some stubby alligator type toes would be better than what we got in the SE (apparently they used a fake Rhino for the base body, and used fur to hide the seam between the head, tail and body).
Hmm... so it appears the Empire is equal opportunity. Who would have thought?
