*Used my own GOUT version when that fat CG creature walks in front of speeder, hopefully I can get my hands on the same source that harmy uses (i.e. not gout), since it's much better http://share.pho.to/8v5P3 (mine vs gout)

You could also use the actual despecialized 2.5 release, even though it's in 720p.

I agree.

I've messed around trying to make a semi-specialied Mos Eisley entrance a bit. The SE really has little going for it. The speeder looks nice in most shots, but that's about it.

The kangaroo-rat things are unnecessary.

You can cut it after the robot in the next shot, but visual continuity becomes a bit wonky. The following approach has more kangaroo-rats, and irks me because the storm troopers are exact mirrors, making the exact same movements.

Dinosaurs* need to be cut entirely, IMO.

Droid behind stormtrooper needs to go.

Overview shot might be nice with dinosaurs edited out. There is camera movement and it would be quite a task.

The speeder/landscape in the next shot look wonderful. But the dinosaur obviously makes it unusable. This shot has simply never looked good, aside from Mike Verta's version.

*Aware they have species names. It's more appropriately disrespectful to call them dinosaurs, of course.

Here's my attempt at the entry. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1zkfh8_anh-7_creation

Admittedly, a few of the things I complained about are still there. I used mostly Harmy 2.5 to despecialize it. But his first 35mm shot (with the car-speeder-thing, replacing the swinging Jawa) was just something I couldn't get the color timing to work for. I don't know if it was just washed out or tweaked too many times already. Ended up using the 1.0 SD upscale.
