I wish you would bring back editing where I can use tags. It is more powerful.

With the WYSIWYG editor (current), it is not possible to break up quotes into segments to address individual points in the parent post one by one. I have to quote it in its entirety and then write a large block - which becomes confusing, or post multiple messages.

Sometimes, you want to quote multiple people at once also.

It is also difficult to move the cursor above a quote, in case you wanted to write something that isn't a direct reply to a previous post, but also reply to a specific reply later in the same message.

My first exposure to Star Wars was that I got the Return of the Jedi comic book album as a birthday gift from a classmate at my birthday party in '83 when I was eight years old.

The first time I saw Star Wars (ANH) was on television not much later. My dad taped the event (on VHS :b ). I and my brother played that tape often. I especially loved the X-wings.

The Star Wars hype was much stronger at that time than it has ever been before or since - and even more so for a kid. We also collected action figures, swapped them, and played with them a lot. I also often played that I was Luke - as a jedi knight with a lightsaber, as I had read about him in ROTJ.

I did not see The Empire Strikes Back until the early 90's when I was a teenager, again on television. It was first by then that I realized why the "Jedi training school" that I had played with my friends as a kid had involved so much climbing in trees. :^D

ROTJ is the one that has had made the most impression on me, but I rank ESB as being the best Star Wars movie.

It doesn't look warm and toasty inside Echo Base, probably -12 degrees Celsius. So my question is, at the threshold of the hangar door, would the -32 degree air meeting the -12 degree air produce any kind of visible water vapor, or is it too cold?

The "mist" that you can see when you exhale into freezing air is light reflected off ice molecules that have just been formed from the previously liquid water of your breath.

For this effect to occur, the water must have a temperature above freezing to start with.

This would not occur in Echo base because temperatures are below freezing both inside and outside the base (C-3PO said that it was freezing even in Princess Leia's private chamber, remember ... )

Also, air humidity decreases with lower temperatures. Cold weather that is below -5 degrees Celsius is always very dry.

I can remember at the very end of Empire when all the Rebel ships are at the nebula at the end just before the credits, I can remember seeing them all jump to light speed just before the credits rolled.

We already covered that earlier in this thread.  It never happened, it was just some people's imaginations feeding off of each other.

You are wrong.

The movie ended with a concentric wipe. The setting in space is replaced with the black background of the end credits.

The wipe gives the effect that the ships went to lightspeed - if you don't look close enough.
So, those who remember it, do remember it correctly, they just perceived it wrong to start with.

Yes, this was covered before, and I did write the same explanation back then, but I see that several people did not get it. The wipe was (also) in the OOT. You can verify that for yourselves!

I would very much like the wipe to be restored in this edit.

I noticed something with the color correction, in a few of the videos that were posted. I don't know if these were intended to be the final shots or if they have been corrected.

The hue of the Snowspeeder pilots costumes is not consistent between every shot. Some times, the costume is much too red. The real flight suit (pants) had a mid-orange hue with no shift towards red. The jacket should have largely the same orange hue as the pants (coveralls) but be only slightly less saturated, except on Dagobah where the jacket gets darker because it gets wet and dirty. If the jacket has a shift from orange, it is towards yellow.

See especially in the shot where Han arrives at Echo base after leaving Luke. Look first at the pilot that passes Han Solo and then at the pilots working on a snowspeeder. I noticed no such color problems in my OOT / laserdisc-RIP.

The past few weeks I have been studying all the images that I could find of the Hoth Snowspeeder outfit, because I want to construct this costume for myself. I have looked at both movie stills, production photos and publicity shots. When I have come far enough, I will of course make my patterns and other findings freely available for everyone else. Doing research on costumes and props sometimes makes you overly attentive to certain details...

I believe that the Wampa hand-puppet prop used in the attack-short had horns, just that they were covered over with white fur a little bit too much when the prop was made. What could be perceived as darker patches in his high cheek bones (...) are the horns.

I think those features should be used as starting points when painting the new horns, and let remain somewhat obscured, but not as much as before.

Btw, the hand-puppet has quite prominent ears, just that they are not seen from the angle used in the first shot.

These two statements are contradictory:

If your idea isn't put on it,then it was shot down... or Ady said he wasn't doing it...

If you have suggestions, check to see if its on the list. If not? Post in the other thread and it'll be added to this list.

So, is this a wish-list, or a todo-list?

And there are two "other threads":

 STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION

 ESB and ROTJ Wishlist

Not everything mentioned in one thread has been mentioned in the other, and vice versa.
