Perhaps the "Luke and Leia" theme could play when Luke contacts Leia from under Cloud City, in place of the Force Theme. Of course, the original music could "bleed" through under the new music, so... I'm not altogether sure about this. It could work, but still...

That scene as it is with the force theme going is so powerful, I don't think it's a good idea to change it.

 (but I guess I'd have to take a look at that with different music first to be 100% sure of my opinion)

I have been trying to rip that scene from the DVD and it turns out it is much more difficult than I originally anticipated. Too bad about the HD, will this in any way speed up the process since it is no longer HD or will it be about the same amount of time.

 When I ripped that last night (here's the link again in case it was missed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etaA9xWsjbU ) I used DVD Shrink to grab it off the DVD and then Nero Vision to convert it for youtubing. MPEG Streamclip is a handy free converter tool also. Although I didn't grab the Falcon from the Special Features disc that you mentioned (but now that I think of it, that could be used If Adywan needs some good Falcon-maneuvering elements)

By the way, I agree that standard def is just fine. With my Revisited DVD's on my shelf, Lucasfilm will still have to work pretty hard to get me to buy the official Bluray discs when they finally do come out.

does anyone know how to rip a dvd menu. I think it would be cool to edit this scene into the movie somehow.

Here's a few snippets from the ESB menus that look pretty.

That's actually a good idea methinks, if Adywan deems it good enough quality.  It certainly looks as good as any of the SE cloud city additions.  The only issue I suppose is how it would look upscaled alongside the HD footage from the film itself.

my point is, if you're going to show off something in High Definition on a TV made

for that purpose, it's better to show them something from a High Definition source,

and compare it to regular TV....

Adywan said he has no plans to redo ANHR in HD at this time after all the trouble it took to get the current version out there. There will be the colour corrected HD version of the SE of course, but HD or not, it's more fun to show off  the Revisited version.

I think teharri's point was that he was trying to spread awareness about 'Revisited.' It didn't sound like he was specifically trying to use it to sell HDTV's.

If I remember correctly, one of the asteroids actually IS a potato (although its one of the smaller background ones I believe.)

"You're not actually going INTO a potato field?!"

That being said, the appearance of the asteroids looks great to me, it just needs color correcting like the rest of the movie does.

And as for Boba Fett, he's not the guy with the Hummer H2 who's all talk and shiny things, he's a bloody Mad Max with the beat up jalopy that gets the job done!

Bravo, well done.

I would strongly encourage Adywan to use this version of the Vader-Emperor conversation in his edit.

I never had a problem with the 1980 or 2004 versions of this scene, but GM's is much improved over both.

That Vader Hologram does ned fixing. That was some bad bluescreen work. But there are no other shots of Vader from that angle that i could use. The only way i could do it is if someone here knows someone with an authentic Vader costume that could film some new footage, at the exact same angle and doing the same movements, that i could use for the hologram

This picture is about the right angle, isn't it?

I think this would fit perfectly if we could get someone to re-enact this to use as a hologram. :)
