He controls it. Like yoda in ROTS in the poor clone trooper scene.

Its like gun's safe switch just with the Force matter :)

And another thing: why does Luke lightsaber blade fades few frames after his hand is cutted? It is not damaged. Does that means a lightsaber automaticaly switch off when you drop it?

Yep! The lightsaber is connected with his wielder. Like TPM maul's saber is closing after his death, many examples to AOTC and ROTS.

This might address some of the things you've brought up...

I really liked the scene with fett. It felt too natural. Also very nice night matte in jabba palace.

This Sail barge scene will take a lot of work. I want to see limbs flying it'll be so nasty

It seems a bit dificult if not impossible...

Because all the lightsaber hits shots are framed with that way that doesnt allows dismembers.

I prefer a ROTS like execution even that luke isnt a boy walking to the dark side :)

Nice stuff, once again. I noticed you changed the sky, too. Looks nice. A little more defined.

One thing I think is being a bit overdone is damage that lightsabers cause. I notice you added a bright orange glow to Fett's rifle in the shot after Luke cut it. Well, I don't think you'd see any glow (or extremely little?), as the saber is only in contact with the metal for maybe 1/10 second. Sure, it's really hot, but it would take prolonged contact to make it glow like that. Just the way I'm thinking.

If you look closely you will see that the boba's gun is cuted before the saber passed trough.

And the glow thing, is just the usual molten metal when a lightsaber interacts with a metal part. Remember saber vs droids :)

-Angel

Why missing the saber???? the half rod is already there...

Notice the fake Lando matte :P

-Angel

AE and PS default filters sucks imo.

A cool thing would be the cel shading like the scanner darkly :)

Not to mention that needs an ILM to do it :)

-Angel

I find Luke convising even with the bad cutout.

Ben will need some more work aswell some FX work :)

Edit:

George Lucas why you hate us?

When words fail to describe the FX shit, there is always the facepalm.

Edit II:

Here's an idea. artificially slow down all of the emperor's lines and add the deep vocal effect from ROTS. The emperor sounds so stupid in ROTJ IMO. Make his eyes more like ROTS too.

 

I agree with other posters who dislike this idea.  For me, RotS is watchable up to the point when Palpatine starts speaking with like 7 voices.  I was literally embarassed in the theater when I heard that.  Ridiculous.

Combined feelings here. Sure it sounded odd. I found it a bit of his transformation process and how the evil was unleashed until it stabilized. The part i hated was in the senate scene (the remaining jedi will be hunted.....) that was ridiculus.

From the other side the whole point of the voice in ROTJ was the first impression.We see the ruler of the galaxy as a weak old evil dude which surprises us at the end with his powers.

Final point of all these: Radical change ROTS voice :)

Glamor Lens flare of 80s :P

From http://www.geekologie.com

"Have You Ever Wondered How Much It Would Cost To Build Your Own Death Star?

Try 15 septillion dollars. That's $15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226! Ladies and gentlemen, we may have to settle for the half-sized model.

(The Death Star has) a volume of 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters. At 1/10 volume, we'll need 1.71 Quadrillion cubic meters of steel, weighing in at 134 quadrillion tonnes. In 2008 steel products, from wire to ingots were selling for an average of $962 per tonne, so our cost of steel alone is $12.95 quintillion.

Now, how about getting that into space? According to the numbers I could find on the internet, it costs around $95 million to ship 1 tonne of materials into space, so that means we'll be cutting NASA a cheque for $12.79 septillion. (Remind me to order larger cheques from the bank please.)

Okay, so if we can cut out NASA we can basically save ourselves $13 septillion, dropping the total cost of a Death Star to a paltry $2 septillion. Now I think that's manageable folks -- so you start sending me your money, and I'll start building a strip club the rocketship."

Thats very good news for the Empire!

-Angel

Awesome!

God I love this movie. It gives brainfood to ppl who wants to restore it

Speaking of brainfood:

-Angel

Well no idea how big you want it to.

I took this:

And I make some modifications.A preview

Sorry but the quality was already screwed up.

http://rapidshare.com/files/196345899/shadows_of_the_empire.jpg

The rez is 1777x1236 ^

with some details fine up.( see the preview)

I hope this helps

Never played this game tho! Too young to remember :P

-Angel

I was wondering, If the hoth base is collapsing and we had see before electricity issues when the imperials intrude, in the scene when Han and leia run to falcon it will be cool to have some slight background movement.

Like this:

Sry for the still image, i hope to get the point.

-Angel

For some reason the gif isnt looping... try to save it and see it with an image program or refresh the page :(

I believe that with all the electricity and how the things moved along all his evil personality came to the surface. No hidding anymore.

I remember this. This was the reason i joined this forum :P

Still i dont know if all these Stormies colors can be done in motion...

-Angel

Edit: Someone can enhance the backgrounds so its not so monochrome and black:

ben_danger said:

i know ill get egged for this, but ill love to see stormtroopers with clone trooper markings...

 

if only there was someone with exceptional photoshop skills around here......;)

Its pretty useless to imagine Stormies with Clone markings.

I mean is good for still images but in live action is something else.

Who knows.

Very nice work there, very nice indeed!

 

I cobbled together this view of the Executor dropping Vader off with a hint of contruction around the Death Star.

Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

Where did you get this executor pic?

Is one of the star wars exhibitions?

Good job :D

-Angel

Yes yes i will do it sometime :P

Still ady stated no red lights.

I like the idea that this is not a windshield but just a monitor that the pilots can see. Like the idea of modern war. No visible enemy only pixels, so no remorse or regret of how many you killed or with what way.

like you said like a submarine( veers sees through a telescope)

-Angel

It has a point...

-Angel

Thats good news :)

Yep some additional red lights and stuff can be done more easily than the red tint.

I liked tho the colors red-blue/cyan. They make a strong combination :)

-Angel

The perpespective seems a bit odd. From far it works.

Why you don't use a 3d model? :)

-Angel

Yeah, hopefully Ady will enhance a bit the controls.

Note the reflection of the battle in veers mask :)))
