No, we as the audience did NOT know a second death star was being built during ESB. A lot of people here on the boards thought that the second death star kind of came out of nowhere in ROTJ. A cheap trick if you will. A rehash. Anyway...that was where the idea came from...

Which things do you talk about ? Yes, I remember one thing, Vader's shuttle arriving to the Death Star II - oops, I mean the Star Destroyer. Yes, that one WAS unnecessary. Also they screwed up the "window" in cloud city when Lando brings them to Vader (in one moment we see a window, in another shot we see a wall). I fully agree with the other changes, they improved the movie a lot.

See, that looks fine. He's green--because Yoda IS green--but its still a pale color like it should be. Yoda shouldn't be vibrant neon green. The prequels made him like that, but thats because the prequels are cartoons and Yoda looks like a cartoon in the prequels. Why not make Yoda blue? You might as well because IMO its just as far deviant as the bright prequel-green Yoda is like on the 2004 DVD.

When I come to ESB, I'm going to need all the space possible for that edit because I will be using all HD footage which is going to eat up hard drive space.

Okay so I cant help myself, here are some ideas for Adywan's treatment of Episode V, The Empire Strikes back

1. Removal of entire Vader shuttle sequence, it ruins the timing of this sequence.
2. Reinstatment of original "Bring my shuttle" line.
3. Molten metal edges to lightsabers going through metal during Luke/Vader fight
4. On-screen de-ignition of Vader's Saber after end of fight.
5. Enhancment of de-ignition sound of Vader's saber at end of fight.
6. On-screen de-ignition of Luke's Saber when he follows Vader off of the Carbon Freezing platform.
7. Fixing Stromtrooper's fallen Shoulder pad in Han being carbon froze sequence
8. Removal of Han's bicep cuffs as they are not in Return of the Jedi
9. Clouds needed in shot of Lando and Luke re-entering Falcon from under Cloud City
10. SE shot of Falcon approaching platform 327 looks "wrong" somehow. The Falcon looks flat or something, I cant explain, the shot just bugs me. I dont want this removed as I love all the new Bespin exteriors but the Falcon needs fixed.
11. fixing Saber colors, Thier widths are fine but Vader's seems to be almost pink in some shots in the SE DVDs.
12. Fix timing of sound, perhaps adding on-screen de-ignition of Saber as Luke exits Wampa cave.
13. It would be nice if the AT-AT could squash the Snow speeder a little flatter, don't know how feasible that is.
14. More life-like Taun-Tauns ala Cantina alien edits
15. Reinstatment of "You're lucky you dont taste very good." instead of keeping different "You were luck to get out of there" line
16. Reinstatment of original announcement of "The first transport is away."
17. Reinstatment of original sound effect when Lando releases the Mic that lets him address cloud city and inform the people that the Empire has taken over. It's a small thing but I preferred the original.

Possible additions, wishful thinking.

1. More At-ATs Snow speeders in background of battle. Perhaps another snowspeeder can do the leg thing after Luke's success in the background? Perhaps add some probe droids, speder bikes and AT-STs. Strafing runs of retreating rebels at end of battleby tie-fighters isn't out of the realm of possibility.
2. More tiefighters in asteroid chase? Plenty of rocks for them to run into.
3. Perhaps the Falcon could fire at these ties. Those turrets can be controlled from the cockpit, just not as well as having someone actually in the turret. Besides we don't see the Falcon fire those things at all in Empire.
4. Maybe a couple more ships protecting the transports departure? Maybe some ties could race out to great them and be destroyed in a brief exchange of fire as the transport gets past the Star Destroyer?
5. All new shots in the Asteroid chase? Dont know how hard rocks are to do in 3d software. However Id want the musical cues in this scene retained which means you'd have to delete stuff to insert new...nevermind.
6. Perhaps a MUCH LARGER fleet could arrive at Hoth and have the planet surrounded, this would explain why the transports go straight at a Star Destroyer instead of taking another direction.
7. Do something to address the fact that Luke gets off the planet without seeing a single Imperial ship, let alone engaging one
Well thers my initial thoughts, Now I think Ill do one for Jedi

The shot by itself is perfectly done, but it's because of the following shot that it doesn't work well. In a movie, when you follow a moving object from shot to shot, the object must always go in the same direction. But here, we have the falcon exiting hyperspace and going from the top to the bottom of the picture, and then in the next shot she goes from the bottom to the top! It puzzles the viewer: did the falcon just turned back?

I tried to send you a PM as I don't want to start talking generals of doing CG'ing here in this thread (I'll never shut up ), but it didn't go through. Are your PM's turned on?

In regards to recent posts... Maybe someone has a nice kitten picture to happier-ize the vibe? Just a thought.
