For your version of Empire, have you addressed the SE continuity error with the windows on Cloud City immediately prior to the reveal that Lando had been working with Vader?
Hal, I just went to check out what you meant. I assume you're talking about the transparent window that they go past before reaching the door before the Vader reveal? The transparent window as they're going past is actually a more visually interesting shot IMHO than what was in the GOUT, where the window is not transparent at all and is actually a pretty dull background in general for such a well crafted film visually, seems pretty lazy, which is I imagine why GL changed it for the SE. A good change in my book.
They didn't continue that change after the Vader reveal which is a pity, it reverts back to the old windows, but those windows are very much in the distant background of the shot with the viewers eyes focused on Han and Vader, so the lack of continuety is not really noticable IMHO, certainly not enough to jarr people out of the film.
I used the blu-ray footage of the transparent window for this shot in my previous versions of Empire Strikes Back and consider it much more interesting visually than the GOUT window, making Cloud City seem more lived in, dynamic and less of a set, a definate improvement IMHO, so that is the footage i'll be using for this V2.2 release, even if it introduces minor continuety issues with the old windows in the background in later shots, the gains outweight that slight issue for me.
