STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 1178

I believe Ady was still working on the Emperors dialog with Vader when he posted the last clip. The FX work was complete, it was down to one word that ady was trying to find resources for. He was trying to find  Ian saying "LUKE" so he could restore the original line that the Emporer spoke when referring to Skywalker. Originally the Emporer said "Luke Skywalker". But for the 2004 special editions it was changed to "Young Skywalker". Don't know If Ady managed to restore the original line or not.

If Ian has done any roles where he had to put on a stronger Scottish accent, he may have said "Luke"?

(Little joke for the British Isles there)

Someone did a mockup once, using Ian McDiarmid's voice saying "Luke" from the bonus DVD A Musical Journey, from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack. It needed to be tweaked to match better, but other than that it sounded good. I don't know if that's still in the cards, as Ady has stated before that audio is the last step, and he isn't there yet.

That was my first ever edit submitted to this site, quite a few years ago.....Ian says 'Luke' on the 'A Musical Journey' DVD.....but sadly my edit has been removed from youtube

I still have it, I'll upload it to vimeo later

Didn't you also make that mockup of the enlarged AT-AT foot too? I can't seem to find it so I assume YouTube deleted that too.

 THAT is one of the changes I'm looking forward to the most.  One of my pet peeves in movies from the late 70's through 80's is the inconsistency in sizes of objects (the Nostromo is anywhere from 800 feet long to 1600 feet long depending on the shot, from outside or inside the ship).

Also, this may have been addressed already, but I was watching this clip:

ESB:R gantry matte test

I was wondering if:

(1) the window Luke is thrown out of will be altered from the orange-brown look to match the appearance of the interior Luke was thrown out from.  Granted, you wouldn't be able to see details per se (due to the distance), but shouldn't it be darker with the sense of internal light than the bright, flat orange hue?

(2) same with the pulsing yellow lights on the end of the gantry Luke eventually drops from (which may be on there, but may be too small to notice on the youtube video)

(3) again, probably already addressed, but would the carbonite chamber (the spherical section above the "Luke window") be larger to accomidate the set?

Eh, even if he doesn't manage to restore Luke, it's still a one word difference. the entire context of the scene is reverted back to how it was originally (which is the big plus with the dialogue), so even if it's young skywalker instead of luke skywalker it won't be a deal breaker (least not for me)

 

I feel the same way. I can understand his desire for perfection, but young Skywalker is really fine to me as well.

Same for me as well.

I really like in Ady's "Emperor hologram scene" how, in his tone when the Emperor says "Young Skywalker", he sounded as though he were demeaning towards Luke.. even disgusted, that he can't bear to say the full name.. and that fits his character perfectly. It's formal/respectful to say first and last names in many cultures, but the Emperor isn't necessarily one who'd show respect towards others ;) so saying "Young Skywalker" fits his style.

On the other hand though, given the context, it does seem to make more sense that he would actually say "Luke Skywalker," for the sake of informing Vader who exactly it is. Which Skywalker? Well, we the audience know wh o(Vader of course already knows who too), but it seems clear that the Emperor doesn't suspect that Vader knows, so he would most likely say "Luke Skywalker".

So in short: If Ady can manage to make him say "Luke Skywalker" again, in that same demeaning tone, perfect! If not, and it must still be "Young Skywalker", that's just fine also.

My 2 cents :)

The AT-AT's foot

& Palps vid here

I used footage that Ady composited,....my audio does go out of sync a bit, but it should give you an impresion of concept,....You can hear the difference in the audio when you are prepared for it, I'm sure Ady could blend it better

 I had forgotten about the AT-AT mockup. I really hope Ady has added that change as well.

I think having Palps say "Luke Skywalker" sounds the best. "We have a new enemy: young Skywalker" sounds out of place to me for some reason.

I wonder if Mike Stoklasa would be interested in just saying "Luke" if the Ian McDarmid clip isn't sufficient. He does a mean Emperor....

 You may have been joking, but actually that's not a bad idea at all.

Just as Ady was on a search for someone who can digitally replicate an explosion for the generator, he could go on a search for someone who can do a really good emperor voice.. get a recording of them saying "Luke" for this scene, then seamlessly fit it in. This may be the best option, instead of using a "Luke" said by Ian with a different pitch/tone.

And of course keep this same person handy when it comes time for doing the prequels/ROTJ, just in case there's changing/adding/improving of dialogue ;)

Wow! I finally remembered my login details after several years away!

Been stopping by now and again to read some of the progress of Ady's edit. But I just read the latest topic ideas of inserting "Luke" into Palpatines speech.

Not sure if it was discussed, but wondering why Lukes name is to be inserted? As to me this doesn't make sense.

Palpatine to my knowledge does not know Lukes name at this point. But "young Skywalker" is a reference to him "feeling" with the force that the offspring of Anakin is on the scene, aka young skywalker.  Infact, as far as we've seen in the movies, even Vader should not know Lukes name seeing as he wasn't present at the birth or upbringing of Luke. Only way I can see Vader finding out Lukes name in Empire, is perhapse word of mouth of the hero of the battle of Yavin. .. Which in turn i suppose Palpatine could have heard it too.

But, this scene indicates that this "new Enemy" is new news to Palpy. And it is after this scene that Vader mentions Lukes name, though his info likely comes from any one of the captured gang on Bespin. (who knows what was said at that table with Vader/han Leia etc..)

Anyways, just puttin that out there. peace out! ;-)

Keep in mind that until 2004, Palp's line was "we have a new enemy...Luke Skywalker."
