I have always felt that the bit where Luke is hacking away was a little OTT as well & that Vader really wasn't trying at all, if a couple of Luke's swipes were taken out would it make it look any better?

Vader is at his end... He cant stand a fight with a growing powered Luke.

The only thing i could remove is the gesture of vader showing him give up...

Vader is vader... he never begs.. or give up.. the only thing i can imagine is choking luke to gain some space...

I guess something to make the lightning more interesting and less 80s?

-Angel

New arm for vader.

Much more saber cuted and machine like anakin had or as we see in the electric charges through vader

I liked the ROTS make up better. it made him look more menacing, how a sith should be. besides, in ROTS Ian Mcdyrmind was happy to use is actual face and not a mask. You up to the challenge Angel?

But palps was always white in ROTJ.

In ROTS was several years younger.. :)

Looks like DEATH! :P

Is he really that insanely wrinkly, though? (or did you go crazy with the sharpening again? heh heh) He looks like The Mummy! :p

The first indeed. The magenta kills the detail.

Normal sharpening :)

Mummy indeed you infidel

-Angel

*Pop*!

Palpy with his real colors. Also more focus to the face since it was way too dark..

-Angel

Indeed^

Some shots for your consideration :)

Anakin and obi wan. Its a reshoot. The lightning, the scar, clothing and hair are changing between shots.

Also flipped zoomed reused shot

Thats for now :)

More shit to come

Angel, while the DVD menus do show more detail i'm very surprised that you didn't notice that the perspective of the new gantry is wrong compared with the studio set section and that the shape of the whole end section that they replaced is incorrect too.. The original matte worked so much better and has the correct perspective because it was painted using the actual set as reference.

Indeed Ady, i ve noticed the perspective issues as well.

I was pointing the shadows and highlights behavior from the flashes :)

Nice to see you back

-Angel

By the way, for those who are interested...

I'm still around reading up on the forums but I post even less these days...just spending time elsewhere.

However, I DO have a new video coming soon. It's sort of a first draft of Anakins turn to the darkside in ROTS.

Nice to see you back :D

We missed you

Cant wait for the video :D

-Angel

Nice work there J!

giving ideas for the next special edition ;)

Oh my, you have some growing to do. When your older you'll find them really facinating!!

I'll stop now.

Enlighted PMs...

-Angel

How about floating leafs?you know..

Cut the factor that yoda fell with the head in the ground:)

Josh said:

And Mr.Darth Solo...how many times do you edit your posts...just sayin :-]

Many but thats the spirit. Each time you refresh your page you can see a different post. I like it :D

Sometimes the post growing and growing :P

ImperialFighter said:

Okay, since you're asking, I'd have to say I definately prefer the existing Vader stance at the top here, rather than the one in the 'menu' version below.

And as well as the subtly-different stance, I also prefer the existing 'composition' as it is too....where Vader is positioned further back on the right of the shot.  I also prefer the look and angles of the set details in the existing shot too, and the whole layout of this reveal just looks superior to me I have to say.

While some of the 'menu' elements are neat, this fast-zooming animated one is very different from the great build-up seen in the existing static shots in this scene.

Well i was only for the stance and the taller version, i wasnt suggesting the changing of his position. The details tho is an other matter.

-Angel

That wasnt supposed to be correct just a how can this idea looks in motion :)

A demonstration?

-Angel

Darth Solo said:

OMG!! Muchas gracias.....I'll never look at a snow speeder in the same way again! Or a ........, urm, .......well, yeah.

(Just trying to lighten the atmosphere in these dark times for us all, sorry).

LOL! DONT EDIT THAT! DONT EDIT IT

-Angel

You left a greek, name the wing flaps... wing flaps?

Shame! where is hotrod?

-Angel

I LOVE IT!

From the flaps to the cockpit HUD and everything!

We love 3d dont we? ;)

Great job there Jaitea really really really impressed :D

-Angel

Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?

Anyways this menu has so much movement.

maybe too much movement...aka PT movement.

still looks good.

-Angel

DuTwan said:

Haha well i do plan on editing the whole script and will send to people who wish to have copy.

I want the original not a copy ;)

-Angel

Ripplin said:

Yeah, the menu stuff they did is very nice! What's the deal?! :p

Indeed.

Deal? IM ALTERING THE DEAL!

-Angel

doubleofive said:

Angel is taking my job.  I am ashamed. ;-)

Sad that the menus are proving to be SO MUCH BETTER than the SE...

This is still your job :D

Very true there 005 ;)

-Angel

Okayz.

Thanks to ady that passed one more new pic under our nose posted in FB.

here is the comparison :)

Something i ve noticed navigating through the menus.

Vader in the menus is taller and his stance is more straight.

Plus there is a better definition of forms and detail between the stair section.

Who is the more aggressive?

Also. As we see from trailer( i know they are wip FX just pointing)

The menu again shows a better light interaction, showing shadows from the rails that embrace the surface of the metal..

I know that. never explained in the movie i meant.

I noticed the lighter saber, what is your point?
