.. if you want more modern Terminator 3 SPFX then please continue.

Funny you should mention that, because I was thinking about how the hand would be a lot more convincing if it were a bit "meatier."

I like the idea that there is organic tissue covering the bionic hand........I'd love to see Adywan add in some pseudo-terminator blood like I demonstrated.

When the 'skin flap' of  Luke's artificial arm is closed by the Medical Droid, it doesn't line up with the little portion of 'fake arm' underneath the metal 'clamp' that we can  see nearest the robe sleeve. Could this be amended?

There are actually two different shots of this 'fake' arm, seperated by a shot of Luke's face.  They are both static shots, but shown at a very slightly different angle to each other.  

A - Luke's 'New' hand gets poked by a little prick. (The flap on the far side looks crooked)

B - Luke gives his 'New' hand a little test run.

A GIF comparison:

I think the elevator shaft in the middle looks just fine.

And, I think the main 'hole' is larger than the gaps around the elevator would have you believe, and extend farther under the floor panels (maybe to where the stairs end).

Not debating that it's a lift that Luke and Vader came up in, but clearly the enormous shaft the emperor falls into isn't just to accomodate a 2 man lift...

...

...The big central tube running down the middle is the damn lift shaft... [If] anyone cares to post pictures from the scene it will be patently clear that Vader drops the Emperor down the hole at the side of the lift. Ergo, it's a lift shaft.

And the glow at the bottom is not the reactor core. Unless you're suggesting this lift runs 450km down to the core and the Emperor falls all that way in about six seconds.

Pics: 

Top = Palpy zaps Luke
Bottom = Palpy base jumping ;)

...falling to the bottom of the Toronto Tower would take about 10.8 seconds or less...

Just for the record...It's the "CN Tower".

Darth Venal said:

...At a standard Earth gravity (which is clearly how all the ships in Star Wars seem to work), it would take Palpatine three hours to hit the reactor core.

Maybe the footage of uncle Palpy falling is Time-Lapse photography...?

Well...the DSII is still under construction - The carpets won't be installed until Tuesday. (lol...ST:Gen. reference :D )

Have you done, or thought about doing, your own edit? That way you can have exactly the version you want.

I think that ANH needs an "Enhanced Edition" that fixes errors in the Theatrical version, as well as the countless errors of judgement from the 2004 editions.

Didn't some guy already do that? I forget his name...but I know there's a thread about it somewhere. I think there's also a thread about what can be done after his so-called "Revisited" version. Now, if only I can remember his name!

;)

Luke: "How did my father die?"

OB1: "Umm...well...it's sort of my fault"

Luke: "Oh..."

OB1: "But...don't worry - if you talk with Darth Vader, he can tell you more about him"

Nice one! I don't even think any video changes would have to be made. The first line can stay as-is because we can say he's just seeing a huge canyon (which he might've been able to hide in even if there wasn't a cave), then just delay his "that'll do nicely" line for a second until they come over the ridge. I'm sure someone could do it even though it might mess up the timing of the audio or something.

I agree. Just cut out the bit between "There...that looks pretty good.", and "That'll do nicely.". Perfect fix. End of problem. :D

Just made a little video showing a weird idea that popped into my head one day. I don't think it'll ever actually be used in any edit, but I just had to share it with you guys. Enjoy :)

Greedo's gun jammed, and Han killed him before Lucas could say "cut". So, instead of hiring another actor, he said "Shit...oh, well....I guess we'll have to use it...it's good enough...I'll change it later".

Maybe Shmi was gang-banged, and Ani is a combination of many 'fathers'.

It all makes sense now!  Anakin Skywalker == Freddy Krueger!

 

Who’s that in your avatar?  Yummy!

I particularly hate the Immaculate Conception idea.

What immaculate conception?  I always figured Shmi just got really drunk at a frat party, got knocked up, and didn’t remember the encounter.

Maybe Shmi was gang-banged, and Ani is a combination of many 'fathers'.

.........I'd write more details, but I would probably get banned if I did. ;)

Thorr, if it could be done that easily, it would have been done already.

You're talking about a HELL of a lot of time, effort, work, and hard-drive space. The framing/positioning of every frame would have to be absolutely perfect, and that's hard enough to do with a hand full of frames...nevermind almost 15000 of them !

So, in short........you're crazy. :D

Natalie Portman should have worn lifts when she stood next to the Viceroy.

Or some sexy high heels.

Can you fix the aspect ratio using Formatting Tags?

I 'fixed' my first few uploads this way.

You know that you're a Star Wars fan when...

...you let your dog ride shot gun in your car/truck/etc.

Wouldn't that mean every redneck 'southern-american' is a Star Wars fan?

I am not implying that.  It's a Han and Chewbacca reference joke.

Sigh........Internet + Sarcasm = Epic Fail

...take out Artoo's beeping, and put in dialogue... 

I was seriously thinking about subtitling R2 and Chewie.

 We could dub Chewie, and he should talk like The Fonz.

I think he would sound better talking like Scooby-Doo.

I have no reason to believe just enhancing the speed of Ben's twirl a bit isn't feasible.

I just don't think the MOVEMENT of the spin is convincing enough. Sure, speed it up, but it still would look like an old man tip toeing in a circle...

Since the PT came out, the Obi Wan duel has bothered me even more...

... the weak spin still pulls me out of it. If I ever get to do my own edit of ANH, I would be removing that spin!

Removing the twirl (2 seconds) can be done seemlessly, and frankly it's no big loss.

I've been using Avast for quite a while, and seems able to keep me out of trouble. :)

Just a little something I did a while back when Yoda's jumping was all people could talk about. I'm posting it now because there's nothing else for me to do right now.

Have a good weekend. :)
