Personally, I prefer my other mockup video... where the Falcon continues to float instead. The Falcon doesn't sit idle long enough, so it kinda looks weird to me when the engine turns on and it sits two seconds then flies off.

So, if I had to pick, this would be the fix I would go with:

But hey, both are there to compare now, so you can all decide for yourselves...

Something like that, but have the engines slowly 'warm up'....not just 'turn on'.

I tried recreating it just now, with a slower "warm up" like you said... but it ended up looking too similar to the first attempt anyway. The Falcon simply doesn't "freeze" long enough for a warm up to look "natural". It's too brief for a convincing warm up. I literally can only say "one-one thousand" during the time that the Falcon stops floating until it's engine's boost off. One second is way too short.

The float version is the better looking fix, in my opinion.

1- Asteroid trench &new crater background  to replace the obvious matte used when the TIE bombers approach. The largest set pieces that definitely need to be done first so i can reclaim the space to continue with the next items.

2- Inside the slugs mouth -  another large set

3- Wampa. A lot of work to be done on this especially when it gets to attaching each individual hair to the puppets face

4- Hoth Shield generator / Stop motion AT-AT/ stop motion AT-ST. All the outdoor snow scenes out of the way.

5- bespin vane and shaft to replace 2D matte. another large set approx 6ft x 6ft

6- Leia's apartment exterior new model - to fix the problems with the interiors and exterior scale.

7 - Interior hangar to replace rebel transport matte

8- Millennium falcon and Hangar set

9- Modified MPC stardestroyer with fibre optic lighting and correct detailing to replace many cut and paste or badly composited  shots of the stardestroyers

10- Extra ships for the finale to replace obvious mattes and some camera movement problems with existing elements

Control! You must learn control!

wow Ady! I see ppl that manage to make these models for years and are you going to make them all in a short time?

I cant imagine a rush job from you because i know you will not do it :D

You can always ask for help or already models. I know that some ambitious thoughts can lead to frustration and i wanted to ground it a bit.

Think again what some things can be done with 3d or mattes :)

Do you best as always...you are an Autobot after all

I've always been a quick worker. Back when i was doing fantasy painting on peoples leather bike jackets in the '80s i had been known to be working on 7 jackets at the same time, all hand painted with no airbrushing, with a completion time of 2 days or less. Now these weren't just simple designs but full blown paintings similar to the works of Chris Achilleos ( who i had the great pleasure of meeting).Over the years i have developed techniques that enable me to work faster, but without cutting any corners or causing a drop in quality.

Now , yes this puts a huge workload onto me, but i refuse to use a matte or CG unless its impossible for me to film with miniatures and sets. CG mattes just don't work , mainly because the lighting & colouring just doesn't look natural. CG mattes are getting a hell of a lot better since EP3 but i don't want to turn the OT into a CG background fest.

The good thing about all this is that i am learning new stuff every day and all this will be invaluable when i get to tackling the PT just before my 90th birthday in 2057 (j/k)

Gonna be 2 or 3 years from now before this edit is done most likely. And someone will retort "It will be done when it's done!".

i'm estimating a 2020 release for ESB:R with all the extra stuff now ;)

Just be patient. It will be done when its done

(just couldn't resist that. lol)

Now back to seriousness.....

The millennium falcon in the garbage is going to be fixed so it will look more natural without the sudden pause

If there were Ewoks in my house, they would be celebrating... and if a Palpatine statue were standing in my living room, it would be getting shoved down right now... I'm expecting a couple Jedi ghosts to appear and smile around for no reason at any moment!

You met Chris Achilleos?

Hoh boy!

Greece is killing me sometimes....

Reminds me of my days in art class. We'd be given a week to do something and I'd basically goof off listening to music or whatever then do the whole thing in one or two days. That was really handy. I am usually able to do the same with writing.

Yeah the 2nd video is really good. In the edit I like how the Falcon doesn't look like it's 'stalled' in space, lol.

Oh and R.I.P Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Yeah, it's a shame :'(

What did you make of MJ's death? It was quite unexpected and sudden.

Oh and back on TESB here's a sweet intro of it's 1987 Première on NBC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_6j6pBPVg&feature=channel_page

Well it came out 3 years before I was born, but I'm sure some of you may remember this....

Oh and another link a friend give me regarding TESB, this time it's a baby watching part of the film -

I bet she's thinking that the scene needs colour correcting :)

Everything is tentative. Don't worry about it. ;)

Ady has the same deadline for all the Revisited projects - "eventually".

:-D

What's the Blockade runner have to do with anything??

This seems like something Ady would have already caught (IF he considered it a continuity error)... but I did not see it listed anywhere as a fix, so...

... I took it upon myself to do a mockup:

Even in 1997, the SE shot bothered me, not because it was poorly done, but because it seems to break continuity! In one shot, the Falcon and Slave 1 pull out of the garbage trail... only to wind up back in it again!

Deja vu? Groundhog day? Hmm...
