Ep 7 Revisited :)
ok I know suggestions are closed but I have recently become aware of a minor difference between the original and revisited. It is also very small but I also wondered if it was dropped as it may take away from everything else that is going on.
But Basically the spire lights (obstruction Lights) on the cloud city needles or tall buildings don't seem to be present in the new mattes which are fantastic but I thought to myself I wondered why they were not there? So the Cloud city mattes have blinking lights in the SE and original I think but I would not mind just seeing constant lights on some spires or tips of spires as a warning to landing ships perhaps in heavy cloud so as not to crash.... Anyway I thought I would ask If they have been purposefully removed?
Looking at the special edition and original shots, i can't see any spire lights , flashing or stationary ( apart from one spire in the original having a couple of lights at the base, but that matte is no longer being used in revisited anyway).
Yes only the McQuarrie Matte has it and only one of them so it is totally inconsistent and obscure. But It was the original intention so It's no big deal but it also makes a lot of sense given the environment and was obviously considered perhaps they never got around to adding this in the rest of the shots. all on same matte one with double light flash red and one with white flash hexagon and the spinning top has lights around it's fat middle.
Like I said it is no big deal but I thought I would bring it up as it could possibly add more realism to the special edition aspect whilst keeping the thoughtfulness of the original and the space port aspect of Cloud City. Weird though that they did only animate this one and none of the others.
I also thought you would enjoy putting the special edition buildings to shame in some way :)
I am also a bit surprised that you removed that shot of ships flying through the clouds so I am wondering what that will be like :) I am sure it looks a lot better given the rest of the skies we have seen so far.
