Topic cleaned. As always, user bans will follow for those who can't play nice from here on out.
And yes, the forum is still moderated. Some of us have jobs. Use the ignore feature, skip over ugly posts, have a beer, or do whatever else you have to do to get yourself through the day.
Thanks for clearing up the thread, Jay. It did get a bit out of hand there for a while.

Vader marching around Hoth is much more dramatic than his scenes on the Blockade Runner in ANH.
The one thing I've never liked (even when I was ten)and I've mentioned it before is when Vader's cape gets caught behind his arm armour.
It's a little thing but Vader is always in my mind this menacing black triangle, a stomping dark pyramid of power and for a few seconds he loses that sinister symmetry.
It's like the red room on the Death Star in ANH one of those niggly moments that spoil the mood for me.
I'm possibly the only person effected by this most strange of obsessions and I'm not sure if it could be fixed if anybody else would want it to be fixed (or indeed acknowledge that altering it would be a fix).
I'm going over into the kitchen for a bit and make sure no forks have gotten into the knife drawer again....
His entrance scene into the rebel control room is very reminiscent of his entrance in ANH. He appears through smoke. But, yes, i think you are the only one that's obsessed with his cape in that scene. :)

Ady I got one more error if you dont know it already.
Anyways
I dont mind that yoda actually sits in the rock in the next shot(less is more) but at least add the blue bag in the previous shot ;)
-Angel
This shot has already been fixed :)
vaderios said:
Ady, I had to ask about the cameos things. Its about to be 2d images from members or somehow footage in the movie?
Well it would have to be moving footage to blend in. It would most likely be in the "Lando announcement" scene where we see outside the city so the new appearances wouldn't be jarring. But that's if it is even possible to do it. t may well be just the BTS footage that donators will get if things don't work out.

In regards to the "spinning star field" thing, I wish Davnes or someone would post a comparison with the static Falcon shooting off from Tatooine in ANH:R with the original spinning star field as well as a third option showing the stars streaking outside around the Falcon the way they appear inside the Falcon cockpit.
That way we can visually see the three one after the other and see for ourselves which has the best visual impact.
I can understand getting rid of the spinning star field, as it is inconsistent with other hyperspace shots (be it inside or outside other ships), so maybe instead of reintegrating the spinning star field the stars can streak out to match what we see inside the Falcon's cockpit shot. In fact, to maintain consistency, maybe the "star streaking" can be added in other shots as well, such as when the Rebel fleet jump into hyperspace in JEDI - speaking of which, is the blue hyperspace field going to make a reappearance in JEDI:R (when the fleet jumps out of hyperspace)?
I understand that this can also go in the EMPIRE AND JEDI WISHLIST thread as well.
I haven't decided yet if the spinning starfield will make an appearance or not. I'm more towards removing it for continuity. The streaking starfield seen from outside wouldn't really work because you see it from inside the cockpit first so the streaking stars would almost be static by the time we see it from outside.

Angel, that is a very nice mock-up. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but the more I see it the more I like it; it might be something worth considering for Ady to incorporate. However, the "inconsistency" of Yoda moving from the ground to the rock is a bit more of a bother to be honest... although I'm not sure what could be done to "fix" that. I guess one could simply assume he moved between scenes.
that has been fixed also :)

Maybe one more, more interesting sunset?
i was toying with the idea that the sun goes under the clouds. So there is no night as we know it.
-Angel
Loving that bespin shot Angel. :)

I prefer the 'gloomy', densely-packed treeline/root system that seems to make up Dagobah, as shown in the background of the 'wider, more open' views such as this one and when Luke has just crashed.
how about this?
More ESB like ;)
-Angel
Nice idea, but it seems a little too light to match the other shots in that scene
vaderios said:
-Angel
Again very nice but would there even be a ray of light when the planet was almost completely covered with cloud and fog when he arrived?
The main problem with the original matte shot is that it doesn't match either the previous or following shots. As Luke is crashing through the trees its obvious just how foggy this place is and after this shot we see it is very foggy. So what really needs doing to that shot is add the dense fog

I still don't get what you are saying, it's more of an "anything the prequels did is bad, anything the OT did was good" mentality, there was nothing wrong with Yoda's speech, it suits his character. Who are any of us to say how he should speak anyway?
Yodas speech patterns in the PT were terrible and "in your face" and nothing like the subtle ways it was done in the OT. Only a very small percentage of Yodas speech had the backwards style but in the PT Yoda almost became a very badly done caricature of himself. It became cringe worthy, as did the Emperors insane cackling. These 2 OT characters that appeared in the PT seemed like you were watching a spoof OTT version and not a real Star Wars movie.
Anyway, talk of the PT really doesn't belong in here
