You should change it to Needa taking an escape pod and being intercepted, then brought to Vader :P

That'd be kickass.

So just for my own sanity...are they in a galaxy looking at a galaxy (within a galaxy) or are they outside of a galaxy looking at a galaxy? Im so confused.

In the EU, they are in orbit around a star that belongs to the galaxy but which is high above the galactic plane.

In the real world, our planet is located in the outer rim of the Milky Way galaxy. If you happen to be in a rural area without any light pollution during a night with clear skies, you could see most of the galaxy as a band where the stars are denser than otherwise.

Escape pod into an asteroid field? No, that does not make sense. You use a pod when you want to be rescued, and there is nobody in the asteroid field that could rescue you except for the Imperial fleet.

If he wanted to get away, he could choose a good shuttle that just happened to carry a hyperdrive. He was supposed to get a shuttle anyway, and as captain he could choose any shuttle he wanted. Then, he could just command the shuttle to enter hyperspace after takeoff.

yeah they were clear of the asteroid field already.

Ok, had my Star Wars Revisited evening tonight, and I'm happy to say that my guests were very generous and with my adding to their already impressive total we were able to make a very nice donation towards the cause. The evening was a rousing success....everyone loved the film.....some discussion on the differences between Revisited and Purist were had......and shown (since I now have both versions), and everyone (regardless of wether or not they made a donation) went home with a copy of the DVD. So anyone looking to help out Ady can use this as a way to raise some much needed funds to get this project completed. I put the challenge out there for someone to beat what I've raised tonight with their own Revisited fundraiser evening......

Glad to hear donations are happening. Donate in GBP, if you donate in USD or any other currency, PayPal will charge you a "conversion fee" even though you can do it for free if you just do it yourself before you send it.

 Couldn't disagree more.

Needa as a character has one moment to be defined: He mans up and takes responsibility with Vader. That makes us like him and makes Vader more of a jerk for killing an honorable officer.

Changing this totally alters the character, makes Needa worthy of execution (he's now a deserter) and blows Vader's best line "Apology accepted Captain Needa."

I was going to post something similar... :)

I remember a particular impressive picture of our galaxy as seen from the ground, using some high sensibility process, that was published some months ago but could not find the article but here´s another example... I guess something like this would look more realistic in the movie but not as impressive, I like the original... :)

Well, it wouldn't look any more "realistic" because neither that image nor the "galaxy" at the end of TESB are how they would appear to the naked eye. So the galaxy as it already appears is no less realistic.

The first shot has the light partially submerged which is lighting up the muddy water creating the orange/brown glow. Then the ship moves and you can see that this wing raises up slightly and the light is no longer submerged, so we have the white light and is more illuminating. In fact the very first time we see the xwing set should have the orange glow added as the ship doesn't move before this.

Just to clarify my post from the previous page a little -  although I reckon the X-wing stays in a generally static position in the swamp throughout this sequence, only being rocked side-to-side a little as R2 falls off, I shouldn't really have referred to the X-wing in the middle shot below as giving off an 'orange' glow.  As you say, the X-wing is still giving off a 'white' glow here (just like it does throughout the sequence), but is merely highlighting the murky colour of the water in the set at this point. 

What I was trying to get across, is that there's a jarring continuity difference due to the sudden lack of 'low-level mist' being highlighted in 'white' light in this particular 'wide' shot of the X-wing and Dagobah set, compared to the other 'wide' shots that we see before and after it.

Now I happen to really like the look of the middle 'wide' shot here, as it gives a real sense of the 'swampy' conditions, due to the look of the 'scummy' water movement in it.  It's not really it's sudden difference in 'low-level mist' compared to the top 'wide' shot here that bothers me, because it's filmed from a different angle, which gives it a bit of leeway.  But it's the sudden 're-appearance' of 'low-level mist' in the bottom 'wide' shot that comes a mere 10 seconds after the middle one, that makes the inconsistency stand out...because it happens to be filmed from a very similar angle to the middle shot beforehand.

So while I thought that by 'whitening' the murky light reflection on the water in the middle shot would make for a less obvious difference, I guess adding a little 'low-level mist' to that portion near the wing would allow for a 'white' glow even better -

Although it always distracts me, I guess it's no biggie, as Dagobah's 'mist' might just flow and ebb and flow again very quickly!  ;)

Okay, this is a little thing I mentioned in the passing many moons ago adywan, but which probably got lost amidst everything else.  Anyway, I didn't show screenshots at the time, which would have pinpointed things better, as they are not too obvious at first.

It concerns a little print damage to the SE in a couple of places.  If nothing else, the print itself is pretty 'artifact'-free, and these 2 small instances are the only ones that have ever caught my eye.  Maybe you can study these 2 shots and patch them a little, though? -

Although the slow-motion shots of the Dagobah 'cave' duel are pretty well cleaned-up in the SE print, there's still a couple of annoying, momentary white 'flecks'/artifacts near Vader's neck area during the single 'front-on' close-up of him swinging his sabre.  They are not part of his costume, nor 'light reflections' as he moves... 

The second example is at the point where Luke has gone over to Leia near the end, just at the point before he looks at her and she looks back at him.  There are some momentary slight white scratches and a 'fleck'/artifact to the left of Leia's head at this point...

And one of the things I've been intending to show since weeks, is my own tuppence worth concerning the ending's 'galaxy'/'star formation'/'Falcon's trajectory' thing.  :)  I'll organise the screenshots tomorrow sometime.

ImpFighter, you do know that you can hit the "Play" button on your remote to watch a movie as opposed to repeatedly pressing the "Pause" button, right? ;)

Ha!  These threads make me feel so INATTENTIVE.

 And you're all the better for it. ;-)

I guess my big screen made them more noticeable, but they got annoying on the umpteenth watch, lol.

Overall, I'm just a composition guy.  It's not a big deal, but the Falcon always looked weird just flying off to the upper left corner the way it does.

Maybe Lando was enjoying flying his old ship again and just fancied doing a few manoeuvres before hitting the hyperspace button.
