As you can see here some of the colour is missing on the badge on the 2004 DVD so there was not a lot i could do about it. The saturation wasn't touched for the badge and remains the same as it is in the 2004 DVD. It just shows what a mess the colouring of the official DVD was. And you've just got to love the guy's purple uniform in the official DVD.

I'm glad to hear that you've already made the changes, Adywan, thanks for listening. I'm also glad your leaving Kenobi's dialogue alone. I'm constantly dumbfounded how many people want to make drastic changes to the OT so it's more in line with the PT. The PT is the fucked up trilogy, not the OT. If drastic changes are going to be made to the story, they should be made to the PT so it flows more evenly with the OT.

Changing "the" to "a" it not a drastic change. It's just one word.

But I know what you mean otherwise. When possible, the PT should be altered instead of the OT. Of course, in this case changing TPM instead will mean one hell of a lot more of work for adywan than just changing one word. But if he's cool with that, I'm fine either way.

Wow, I never thought someone else though about that, I always thought that Obi-Wan should have been a knight/master at the start of TPM and Qui-Gon either be a friend he went to Naboo with or ran into at the temple and make the story of Obi-wan in the PT flow more accurately with what he says in RoTJ: "when I first knew him he was already a great pilot.....I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi" if we picture this line disregarding the PT, it would appear that Obi-wan met a young hot-shot pilot (18 or 20 years old) in one of his adventures and and was impressed with Anakin's ability and Force attunement, and he "took it upon himself" to train him disregarding what Yoda said, which in turn makes him more like Qui-Gon in certain ways. If we follow this train of thought the rebelious "hot shot" attitude of *that* Anakin would make him more suitable to the phrase "Vader was seduced by the dark side" as in Anakin would exhibit rebelious and adventure-seeking behavior and be seduced by the promise of more power. This scenario makes it difficult for Padme to appear as well as other things in the current PT, but makes the whole saga flow as a whole, without white lies and racionalizations.

One last thing. There will be no PT music added to ESB.

I'm glad that scene never made it, it just sounds like the Emperors receptionist is screening his calls, and it really belittles Vader's importance if he's ranked lower than the grand vizier. besides in the movie it is the emperor that requests Vader to make contact.

I would agree, if it wasn't for the mention of the Emperor's foul mood. It sounds like excellent build-up to his eventual appearance.

As it stands now, when Piett says the Emperor requests contact, instead of going "alright, we get to se the foul mooded Emperor than can scare freaking Darth Vader! This is gonna be sweet!" they are instead more likely to just say "there's an Emperor?". At least that's how I reacted.

Besides, I don't think it implies Vader to be below Pestage. More like equals, just as Lucas said on the ANH commentary.

But I guess this dicussion is kinda pointless since it will never be in ady's edit, it couldn't be. So I'll stop now.

can the AT-AT's walk throught them or does the shield just not reach all the way to the ground?

also, just to get it out of my system, if/when you get round to doing ROTJ, would there be any way of putting Mas Amedda (that blue guy from the prequels) just skulking around with the emperors advisers. it would make a nice link with the old/new. theres a robot chicken sketch with him, an advisor and palpatine in the chancellors office and it looks so right seeing them all together!
