Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist — Page 158

Did anyone notice how the Emperor wonders how Vader knew that Luke was with the rebel troops on Endor and yet tells Vader Luke will go to him, as he has forseen it?  Isn't that a little odd or is it just STAR WARS?

I'm feeling more and more like my future ROTJ edit will be little more than a full-scale refinement of your ideas in these 'Fan-O-Matic' clips.  Great work - that whole sequence felt more Star Wars-y to me than it ever has in the past!

Palpatine knew Luke would be coming, but didn't sense his arrival. 

That's how I always understood that scene anyway

 nice work although something i just noticed is the rebel that said "yes sir" and "move out" sounded bad like he wasn't even trying and that kind of takes me out of it

also the vader i noticed the dialog seems to be a reharsh of waht the emperor said during his arrival.

i would prefer if the dialog just ended like this:

(after vader tells papatine that his son is with the rebels)

strange that i have not, i wonder if your feelings on this matter are clear.

they are clear my master

then you must go to the moon and wait for him

(switch to vader) his compasssion for you will be his undoing

as you wish

end

Blame the droid.

I love it, perhaps it would be better if we didn't see wicket until a bit letter so it looks as if Leia is being threatened by some strange hairy thing with a spear for a few seconds.

When we cut back we could see he is a lovely little cub and then head on a stick (we have to do head on a stick).

Since adding another image my post a bit further up the page looks even more of a shambles (yay).

 Yeah, I've looked at that scene a million times and it was hard to decide on something. Show just wicket's feet? Show him poking Liea? I couldn't figure out for sure what works best. But the way I have it now with the new Ewok village entrance...it felt odd *not* showing him and then coming back with a close up of his face entering the ewok village. Did that make sense? lol

And yeah I'm gonna try and bring in some of your ideas to my version, Bingo.  :)

 Well, that's my voice...and again it's a temp voice track...IF I were to do a full blown edit, I would change the voice. Don't forget though, that there alot of bad dialoge delieveries in these movies! ;)

Hmmm...I kind of like that idea for Palps...

Thanks again guys!

Probably a silly question but - is there anything that can be used/salvaged from the ewoks movies (which I haven't seen in ages) and incorporated into ROTJ somehow to enhance things in some ways?

I got the DVDs from my mom the other day. I can't bring myself to watch them, however, but it has been brought up in the past. They are both on one flipside single layer DVD, so I can't imagine the quality would be too useful.

 Didn't Adywan use a few elements from a fanfilm in his battle of Yavin? I'm sure something useful could be done with all these new elements.

Actually, I just got a new copy of this DVD, and will try to make some mockups soon.

bingo, awesome stuff with the wookies in the briefing room. And I'll take your command center mock up just for the use of the cool set from The Black Hole.

somethingStarWarsRelated: LOL! at the 3PO bit in your new video. LOL. That was great! And it is perfectly in line with his character.

Here's a try at expanding McQuarrie's unused matte of Endor into something useable. Not finished yet, but you get the idea. I'll be replacing the mountains with something more realistic and maybe the trees, but the design is pretty fixed. This is scaled down to about 20% of the actual image resolution and, for some reason, greens always scale down into oversaturated lime!

Dang. That is so cool. You could always do a half and half and add the sky and mtns to the existing shot of the foreground trees.

Which existing shot do you mean, shaner? I'll try anything once :-)

That's awesome Venal - maybe you could add just a tiny bit of conrast to the planet and see how that looks like, but it's looking quite special already I suppose :)

Well I've actually put together my video for that GIF anamatic mock-up I did that was inspired by Angel's work - with sound :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-5d3PL1N6w

It can now be added to the lisy hopefully - I know that my GIFs would have been a bit overkill to be on that list :)

- Oh and SSWR we alrady had a nice little talk about your video on YT - I must say great job again.

Well was that McQuarrie painting for the shuttle flyover when they first go to the planet? I assumed it was. You could just take the mtn. peaks in the background and add them to the existing landscape shot used for the flyover, as well as the planet and sky.

I think vaderios already added the dish to it.

Thanks, Darth Chronus. I don't think the planet should have much contrast, as it should have more hazing over it than anything else in the image. And it's a gas giant, so it wouldn't be that contrast-y to look at. I'm still working on it and I've already made the planet slightly more gaseous.

I just wish trees were easier!

I would definitely try that, if I can get high enough res grabs of that shot from the movie. I don't want to add the dish, as it just over-condensed the geography. There's a lot of terrain and I prefer to see the shuttle flying over it before finding it's landing spot.

It looks a bit more like a park than a forest but beautiful none the less.

Hmmmm. Just watched the latest fan-o-matic and wanting to point out something I figured a while ago. In my head, I see the scene playing out thus:

Palps: I told you to remain on the command ship.

Vader: A small rebel force has landed on Endor.

Palps: You couldn't have told me over the phone?

I think making Vader a hologram in this scene could work — just cut the first line or replace it with something more suitable, and make the other cuts if you like, and it works just as well.
