The edge of the window in the Star Wars frame is in shadow so it is not noticable and is therefore not an issue. The edge of the window in ESB is very much lit up, very noticable and therefore an issue.
So, most of the other cropped shots should not have been an issue when, in many, the frame is either lit as darkly as it was in ANH or is completely unseen? I probably should have explained that i was talking about ALL the cropped shots and not just the one image i posted when i said about the fourth wall argument and it being invalid. I wasn't actually trying to be an ass or anything like that. (click on the images to view them larger)
All the other uncropped frames you've posted have no problem in terms of breaking the fourth wall, at least not for me, only that frame Harmy posted just now. I thought i'd made that clear in my posts but it seems not. The other issue then becomes whether you think the cockpit should feel cramped like in Star Wars or are okay with the more spacious feeling you get from the uncropped wide angle shots from ESB. I prefer more cramped because I think it serves the visual narrative better and maintains continuety with the smaller Star Wars cockpit but I don't have strong feelings either way, unlike the uncropped frame Harmy posted which i'm very much against for the breaking the fourth wall reasons i've already stated.
You certainty did come across as an ass and very conceited when you stated that my opinion on that ESB frame breaking the fourth wall was 'invalid' but if thats a sort of apology then I accept and I will also retract what I said about your head being on the verge of exploding hehe
Let's all try to get along and help each other out when we can, provide different viewpoints, all the while respecting the viewpoints of others that don't agree with us. If we can do that, i'm sure that we'll all achieve great things working together on this forum. What has come out of this site already is pretty amazing and i'm sure that that will continue for a long time to come.
BTW, those uncropped frames you posted really do look lovely, whatever side of the cramped/spacious divide you stand. Comparing them to their respective cropped shots outside of the film, they do look much nicer than the cropped frames. Makes me wish the Star Wars Original Trilogy could get a 4K remaster like Fellowship of the Ring, that really would be a sight to behold i'm sure.
