Meh

Putting fancier OT ships in the prequels sounds like fanboy fapmaterial to me.

How many new cars do you see lower class citizens driving compared to how many older used cars they drive. The rebels could be compared to lower class citizens. The higher class citizens (compare to imperials) are driving new cars. It as Bar Bar Jinx stated makes perfect sense. The rebels couldn't afford new ships. The Imperials could. Fanboy fap material or not it makes more sense than what geoge lucas gave us in the prequels.

To me it makes more sense that every planet has its own style and its own ships.

I don't see why the rebels would be using old Naboo fighters.

When I see an X-Wing I see an old used fighter, I don't need to know where it came from, I don't need to think "hey, maybe this is the one I saw in the prequels".

Surely the rebels could've gotten their ships from a part of the universe we haven't seen in the prequels?

Meh

Putting fancier OT ships in the prequels sounds like fanboy fapmaterial to me.

I suppose there could be another structure off camera that's casting a shadow on the turret, thus eliminating all remaining errors :P

It really does looks great now, I'll shut up for a while ^^

I did mention that many of the shots in the trailer either didn't have some FX layers enabled to save rendering time or were unfinished. the trench being one of them.

Finished trench:

wonderful :-)

That is a huge improvement, but (don't you hate that word), unless I'm seeing this wrong, shouldn't there be less shadow on the turret? Judging by the snow the sun should be somewhere left of your (the viewer's) head. Yet here the background's sun is still behind the turret instead of in front, though this time on the correct (left) side.

You do understand this was done for continuity purposes?

Of course I do, 99% of the changes are for continuity... what does that have to do with what I said though?

But as long as we're talking about continuity: isn't the placement of the sun wrong?
Look at the snow in the foreground, the sun appears to be behind us. Now look at the turret in the background...

EDIT

here's an other shot from the trailer:

Something that bothered me in the trailer was the new background in the Hoth trench scene. It might be because I'm not used to it, but it felt fake, like it was too much in focus or because there was too much grain.

Here's a comparison, with the last pic having a blurred background.

I dont see any black blobs really. I must be blind.

You probably are. Or your monitor isn't calibrated.

Thanks for double checking Ripplin :P

tehwallaby said:

What about replacing Maul with Dooku? It's far more achievable, and could add to his continuity.

Say what?

You do remember the swordfights and the fact that Maul dies, right?

I... can see why you feel dwarfed

vaderios said:

Maybe the shields is in a frequency that allows all the IMP ships can fly inside it.

Maybe all that is science crap so ignore that :)

There's no reason there wouldn't be TIEs on both sides of the shield so there's no need for your "science crap" ;-p

All this talk about adding/replacing music in duels reminds me... A while back I took a crack at enhancing my favorite duels with new music.

I think it really adds to the emotional impact.

Luke vs Vader

and

R2D2 vs Yoda

I... love... this!

EyeShotFirst said:

It is a return of jedi as a whole. Luke is the first jedi since obi wan died. SO the jedi are back.

By that logic ESB should have been called Return of the Jedi.

And luke is going to pass knowledge on to more jedi too.

So the title refers to something that doesn't actually happen in the film?

TheBoost said:

Regardless of who the Jedi in the title refers to, Revenge is  a conscious act, requiring intent. No one has that intent. One cant accidentally take revenge on someone.

OK, then how exactly do the Jedi return?

brash_stryker said:

Also the word revenge, to me, would cheapen the Jedi order

But there is no Jedi Order, it was destroyed before Luke was born, he never learned the dogmatic (extremist if you will) views of the "old" Jedi. Luke choked people with the Force, clearly he doesn't follow the old order's code.

"return of the jedi" imho is a lame title, it's too... nice. When I see the title I think "oh, Luke is going to team up with other Jedi who were hiding and they will... return", which simply doesn't happen. As a kid I never understood the title. Luke or Vader/Anakin taking revenge makes for a much more fitting/thrilling title. When I see "Revenge of the Jedi" I think "hoho, Luke is going to kick ass in this one!" and sure as hell you see him force choking his way to the Emperor.

"Return of the Sith" for the first prequel makes a lot of sense as well as the Sith were supposed to be extinct. Maybe we could totally call epIII "The Jedi Bite the Dust" XD

Bingowings said:

Really it makes sense to swap the revenge and return around so TPM becomes Return Of The Sith (the Sith clearly return from being thought of as extinct) and the final episode returns to being Revenge Of The Jedi (despite what Lucas may say about Jedi being above such things the Jedi clearly had their arses handed to them in Episode III and return the favour in Episode VI.)

I like "Return of the Sith" and "Revenge of the Jedi" more as well.

I hadn't thought of naming TPM Return of the Sith though... but it makes sense :-)

if that isn't proof enough for the disbelievers, I don't know what is!

boba or han?

Yes, we've discussed cutting Han from ROTJ -_-

2: No a burned head have variety of colors, Especially yellows and pinkie reds.

But it looks unnatural how it just transitions right from pink to yellow.

That's sort of the point innit?

Ripplin said:

Maybe G.E. Predator could use it, too. Wouldn't hurt to have it up with the proper a.r. a few times.

 

I'm a bit hurt by that, Ripplin.  I uploaded the trailer in my YT last night to share with all, especially those YT viewer who have not yet seen the trailer...yet I'm not really feeling any appreciation for my efforts just because the picture is a little stretched.

Dude, you uploaded... a video... to YouTube.

Get over yourself

EyeShotFirst said:

BarBar Jinkx,

Here is a slight tweak. Just light in lukes eyes makes it more convincing. I don't know how it looks on a brighter moniter but it looks pretty good on my computer. What i did was added slight lens flare in lukes eyes. then cut luke from tweaked image and popped him into the original picture.

No

no, no, no, no

...

no.

adywan said:

so here it is a day early

ESB:R TRAILER NEW 720P XVID - 90mb approx

yes!

I just run "mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi input.avi", which takes about 5 seconds, and that fixes it.

The files are usually a good few kilobytes smaller as well, there must be a lot of unnecessary (and likely wrong) info in there.

vbangle said:

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but isn't 1280x544 2.35:1? Sure looks that way to me.

It looks like your "mplayer" is even reporting the correct file info....must be a problem with the linux version of mplayer.

There's nothing wrong with mplayer (ffmpeg). And yes, it should be 2.35:1, that's the whole problem.

The header claims that the video is 16:9 (1.78:1), but it's not.

Gstreamer also respects the header btw. It's not very hard to just force it to use the correct a/r, but yeah, it'd be nice if the headers were correct ;-)

Certain things that are set at the begining of the film are gone, like the whole Kamino finding: since there's no Dex and Obi-Wan can't find the planet at the archives are we to suppose that he just embarked on a wild goose chase? why would he go there? it just doesn't click.

You weren't reading the subtitles were you? The dialogue wasn't changed but in the subtitles she mentions a bounty hunter from Kamino.

A planet that doesn't show up in the archives but which Obi-Wan still magically seems to find.

(cutting the library scene and the "there it is, right where it's supposed to be" line would fix this pretty easily)

The rest of my work (mockups Concepts) will be posting to this link http://www.axia.ws/axia/phpBB/phpBB/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12  from Axia Euxine's Site:  http://www.axia.ws/axia. Feel free to Register and comment there too :)

-Angel

Wait, are you posting mockups we haven't seen there, or the same ones you already posted here?
No offense, but I'm not interested in joining yet another forum. (Especially if it's just someone's personal site)

My god, it actually looks real now!
