Excellent work on the clip Ady!  The colour is fantastic (especially on the landing platform, where you turned the blue to brown once again), and the little extra FX are great (added traffic, added blast on trooper Chewie hits).

Just wondering though... the stormtrooper that gets hit just before the scene where 3PO bumps his head on the Falcon, it looks like there's a black mark on his chest before he gets hit.  Had you noticed it?  If so, was it not possible to eliminate?  Or am I not seeing things correctly?

 

 there's one on the trooper who follows him also.

Question. Are the blank shells coming out of the blasters going to remain?

NJM, Have you tried Apple Color, it comes with FC Studio

Not possible.  I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a seven year old G4.  Final Cut Studio requires Mac OS 10.5.6 with an intel processor.  Hell, my video card is only 128MB of VRAM.

Hopefully, I mean he left them in ANH:R, right? To my mind they add a little more realism (because we know they can't possibly be true "laser" weapons", and the EU even has them have ammo and shell casings, etc.)

PS: See you all in about seven months!

Holy crap, the lasers aren't real? This cannot be! They must be real :(

I haven't been this depressed since I found out that Santa only had 6 reindeer.

The EU is so much revisionist history. "Oh, look, shell casings in the movie. Uh, uh...yeah, they were always in the Star Wars universe. Yeah." :p

From what I've read of the EU, it's not just revisionist history (I also consider the prequel trilogy to be entirely revisionist) but repetitive history.

Not to keep us off topic but just in the defense of the EU. It's first purpose is to explain and and expand upon the things we see in the films.

And repeat essentially the same story in both pre-film and post-film history.

As for an explanation of how blasters work:

In particle-beam based blasters, like the E-11 used by stormtroopers, a small amount of high-energy gas moved from the heter valve to the chamber commonly called the XCiter. In the XCiter chamber, the gas was energized by the power pack, then passed into the actuating blaster module, which, when assisted by the components in the barrel, processed the now extremely high-energy gas into a compressed beam of intense energy particles, coupled with intense light, which generated the deadly high-energy particle beam fired from most blasters. In these blasters, the combination of superhot laser-light and a compressed bolt of intense energy particles formed the deadly bolt.

Blaster bolts usually dissipated in a small, but violent explosion of extreme heat and force upon contact with an unshielded surface, sometimes leaving blast points.

In other words, essntially a plasma gun.

So.....the blank shells stay?

 As much as I'm down on the EU... the fact there are shell casings in the movies and the shell casings are also in the EU... ... how is that a bad thing?

The shell casings are cloned.

If i were covered in squibs, i know someone would want me dead just by looking at myself. Even if they were only armed with sarcastic wit.

Adywan,

Maybe I've read so much here in the past day that my eyes are now non functional...but I thought I read in one of the posts that you were going to correct the eye line mismatch for Luke when the Falcon leaves Hoth.  I checked your first post and didn't see that as part of the changes.

But I did just download the "final trailer" from the first page and it appears that it is fixed...hmph!
