Someone said the battle of endor to be more like ROTS opening battle, so we can see from the throne room the battle outside.

Ive noticed that in some parts there is not enough space to see outside so i cut some metal to extend the view.

Sorry for the crap battle pic but i was too lazy to make one from scratch. Notice the death star surface :)

Sorry, but I think that's way too distracting. It's a good idea, though.

i guess in rots though the windows were alot bigger and the subjective characters wernt stood right next to it. could be better when the action is further away perhaps, ie the lightsaber battle.

I like the battle closer but maybe not that close. Either way though, it will still look cool.

Also, I think the lightsabers should be more thin. Theyre too thick only in ROTJ.

Aprox all the shadow parts in ROTJ especialy at the space ships shot has a red tint (!) Seems this movie is made fast.

 

Lets avoid the part that the matte will change in ROTJ:R at least it can look  a bit better

RotJ is better in the color department than ANH or ESB, but not perfect.  I'm sure Ady's color correction will cover your recent thoughts, Angel.

As for the battle outside the Emperor's window, I think it should be moved closer, but not that close.  They'd still have to be outside the range of the shields.  But I think they should be more than points of light off in the distance, especially when Luke is watching during The Temptation.  And I don't know if the DS surface would be in view from a tower that high above the surface...  I don't have the brain for the calculations they did over on the ESBR thread about the Executor surface, so it might very well be visible.  Not sure if its necessary though.

True! Like I said because of lazyness (!) i took a random space battle scene. Wich is more intense than it should have been.

Plus in ROTJ many of the other windows have not starfield or any DS surface, it could be add a more "tower" feeling.

We ll see

I'm sure from that vantage point they would see the Death Star surface. if you bring the space battle closer to them (like it should be) then adding the Death Star surface is probably necessary anyway.

did anyone notice that the tower actually has 4 large rooms with a big window at the end like where Luke duels with Vader? the other three sides of the tower have duplicate rooms I guess. the others are probably sleeping quarters for royal guards, those old dark force guys, emperor's bedroom..

The DS surface seems to open a bit the place.

Still i believe the back room should be in sight from the front window...

In the Jedi Outcast game, those rooms are all identical to where the Emporer sits except theres only 3 in the game. I guess he just likes the change of view.

i always thought the emperors throne room would look interesting with a purple hue. could you have a go at that vaferios?:) pretty please!

 

also, the ROTJ matte with han and lando. the mattes are never that bad, except for the segmented feeling of background and foreground. it would be awesome to have legs added to han and lando and have them more set in the scene, but failing that how about having people in the background interacting with it?

"Contrary to online debate, there's nothing wrong with this. Lightsabers do indeed cast shadows; anything that is opaque does. Try it with a fluorescent light tube." source

I always have wanted to see if the duel could be extended

I wonder If ady could combine shots with his magic! Also, when luke goes balistic and starts choppin, there should be burn marks on the control panels 1:35.

yup, I'm no troll, or am I............. Also, I think the easiest way to fix the roof problem in leia's room on bespin, is on the outside shot remove the rasied roof, and make it sky.(cough* vaderios*)

maybe if it was a shot from farther away, cleaned up a bit, and Ady's Fx matte rearranging, It would look epic. I hope. Thanks for doing that!
