EDIT: Don't want to make two posts in a row, so here's my mockup of the side view of the Emperor hologram:
I think that shows too much of his neck and chest area, which isn't seen in the face point of view.

Here is a slight tweak. Just light in lukes eyes makes it more convincing. I don't know how it looks on a brighter moniter but it looks pretty good on my computer. What i did was added slight lens flare in lukes eyes. then cut luke from tweaked image and popped him into the original picture.
Thanks for effort but IMO its just too much...remeber, less is more.
Honestly it really doesnt need any change at all. It would only be convincing if they had force effects sabers at the time they were filming.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

^^^^I love that avatar too, Janskeet. :)
Chainsaw, how did you get it up there with the right aspect ratio?! Nicely done. And maybe you could share the video with Ladfyferry so she can replace the one she put up with that one? (she does have the unofficial official Revisited account) Maybe G.E. Predator could use it, too. Wouldn't hurt to have it up with the proper a.r. a few times.
I check in just about daily, but rarely post. Just saw the trailer and WOW! Amazing! It all looks great. The Cloud City shot was awesome!
Ady, I believe your revisited editions will be the new standard. All the other versions will be archived in my home.
Thanks Adywan and happy belated B-day to ya!
I do not fear the Dark Side as you do.
All I'll say is I know which version of ESB I'll consider the real Special Edition.
Great work adywan.

In which currency would you like donations?
Great trailer! I seem to have missed the discussion of why the cityscape seen at the end of the corridor (when Luke had just landed on Cloud City) needed to be changed.
Is it just me, or ... does that Imperial Tech in the middle look a lot like Zachary Quinto? Coincidence?
My question for Ady is how is he going to do officers pit part without it looking repeated? I see it's using the part from where Needa and the other guy are on the bridge when the falcon flies so close to the bridge. All those officers are posed the same way as in the earlier shot, so how is he going to stop it from looking like reused shot?
Considering the ESB and ROTS comparison you made 005, i was wondering why Ady uses the same footage again. The officers will do the same gesture as teh falcon fly by over the bridge. ROTS officers would do a good job for hard working men.
EDIT: You beat me Sevb lol
Also there is an FX glitch in the laser firing when the ties are hunting the MF in the new Star destroyer shot. ( when the up right TIE shoots near the end the laser isnt moving properly and overlap the tie itself. Its not ady's fault)

Well done again Ady. I saw this trailer before work today and am just no being able to post. Love the Cloud City shot. I'll be watching this many times tonight. Thanks and I can't wait for 2010.
Hi Ady, I've been following this thread from day one and never posted, but now I feel the need to express my excitement.
But first:
Happy Birthday (a little late) :D
and
Thank you for star wars IV revisited, I love this version so much and I always try to spread the word.
The trailer for Episode V looks amazing and my generic choice of words can't do justice to the level of sheer buttered fried awesomes of the new material
cloud city shot is breathtaking same goes for the escape sequence, you were right when you stated that we would see escaping ships in the moving clip
thanks thanks thanks
Sunarep
damn it first post is a double post :D
I have been waiting this trailer for a time being...and now I am shocked. It's amazed me. Like a new Star Wars movie on the way...Thanks for the feeling Ady. Incredibel work, every scene, every correction is simple incredible. Thats the way how should looks like an old Star Wars movie in 2009.
City in the clouds looks absolutly incredable. A real highlight for me.

Alright, I went through the film and found examples of all the pit shots to compare, and I ran into a problem:
The pits on the Executor and Avenger are set up differently. Check it out:
You can see that Executor's stations are set up in a straight line, none against the outside wall.
The Avenger has them staggered. The bottom right shot comes from what is supposed to be the Executor, but is obviously a flipped shot of the shot above it (the SE puts the commander's rank on the correct side).
Now Ady's beautiful new shot uses an Avenger bay on the Executor. I'm sure no one will notice (no one has mentioned the bottom left shot before!), and I think if the new shot is short enough, even less people will notice its a reuse. If Kershner can do it in the original, Ady can now.
EDIT: look at the different colors in every shot! Who quality checked this thing?!

Does it matter...? ;)
In fact i was impressed by your breakdown 005!
Changing the panels and the color is an indication that is an other place.
I can always wanted some same filmed shots to be replaced by some way. More zoom or tilt or or...

Ady, are you going to be working on the edges of the rebel ships in the hoth battle? They've got shadows around them.

The trailer was so amazing. Everything was so perfect!

I'm a bit hurt by that, Ripplin. I uploaded the trailer in my YT last night to share with all, especially those YT viewer who have not yet seen the trailer...yet I'm not really feeling any appreciation for my efforts just because the picture is a little stretched.

All Ripplin meant was that more people will find it if more people have it up. Some people won't appreciate it not being in the right AR and will give the whole project a pass if they think that's the way its going to be...

Still, it would have been nice to get a "thank you" instead of a "thank you, but..."
I wasn't thinking how the aspect ratio being stretched, I was thinking about how happy a lot of fans would have been just to see the trailer...
...but I guess I should face the facts that many SW fans are just too picky.
Mr. Wan (may I call you Ady?), all I can say is that your trailer looks amazing beyond all reasonable expectations. You're a credit to the fan community and to the very nature of fandom. Your talent and generosity enrich this hobby for all of us. Thank you.
Holy Crap...G E i was inspired to came back to this forum because I ran into the trailer you uploaded becuase I'm already subscribed to you and you put out a notice. I had stepped away because of life and had all but lost a great deal of excitement and just figured I'd come back at a latter time.
Then I saw Ady's trailer and was like "shit! I've obviously missed a lot!"
If you're looking for an accolade I can think of none greater. And yea, the aspect ratio throws me, but Ihave issues with it all the tim with my uploads...
Is it not sad that in this time, we are more surprised by acts of love than acts of hate?

I wasn't looking for a ceremonial embrace, just a simple "thanks" without any "buts" in them. I know the picture on the trailer I uploaded is a little stretched, and if I could correct that without loosing the high definition of the trailer then I would have.
