Thanks for sorting out that XVID 'Ponda Baba' arm shot! Appreciate it.

Imagine being on the receiving end of these once the military scales them up and perhaps attatches weapons-fire capability onto them...

I wouldn't like to see a bunch of these hopping 'bug-like' towards me, as it does at the end of the video!

vbangle - You are of course right. I've just realised that I should have put this up on the 'General Star Wars Discussion' thread. I'll stick it on there. Please pardon my error. Regards.

Thanks. And Adywan did indeed do some good work with the 'Visual Comparisons' shots.

By the way, I hope you type in that 'YouTube' video link I just put up on the 'General Star Wars Discussion' topic, to check out that real-life 'Imperial Walker' wannabe! It's scary...

It seems that real-life 'Imperial Walkers' are just around the corner if this development is anything to go by! I wouldn't like to be an enemy if they start attaching weapons-fire to these babies. Imagine a horde of these things bounding 'bug-like' towards you, as it does at the end of the video...

doubleofive - Is there any chance of putting a shot of the initial Adywan Ponda Baba 'hoof' arm from the XVID up for me here? Seeing those shots above sure makes me wish we had a glimpse of it in the altered shot AS WELL... Thanks.

p.s. - Your finished 'Visual Comparisons' turned out great!

Adywan - Please take as long as it takes with the DVD-9 release, as it is worth waiting for to get just right.

I was blown away by your XVID when I got it, and am finally getting the DVD-5 later today, and look forward to it's more finished, and higher quality presentation, along with it's 'extras'. I'm looking forward to getting your 'PURIST' edition too!

BMadden - That 'StarWarsArchives' link looks very interesting, thanks for that.

Ghostcut - Nice to see you here, and this sounds like a great project, and I like the idea of the 'Sin City'-style black and white uncut sequences with flashes of red blood. But I also like the colour pallete of that sequence too, so maybe you'd consider SOME of it to be in full-colour also? Either decision will look great though. Good luck with your efforts on this one.

doubleofive and Adywan - These comparison shots are terrific work. I look forward to putting a comment on ALL of them over the coming days, with my personal ratings of awesomeness or otherwise. The WHOLE project is totally awesome of course.

As far as Ponda Baba's arm, as we know the pistol was waved by his sidekick, and Adywan has ensured that he now pays the price in his edit, but I meant it would be great to have seen a hint of the severed half of the orange clad Adywan arm in the frame somewhere too, as a way of referencing the original shot, and showing that Ben REALLY did the business with his two swipes.

That thankyou was to both ron2112 and doubleofive.

Just a thought for doubleofive and Adywan - Could you perhaps add comparison shots of any changes from the initial XVID version compared to the final DVD versions? - Such as the change from 'Ponda Baba's' cut arm to his partner's one for instance.

I have come round to the idea of this particular change, but as Ben seems to take TWO swipes at these characters, it sure would have been nice to get even a glimpse of Ponda Baba's orange clad limb too...

Thankyou for your help. I am SO relieved that that is the case. I can't wait to see the PERFECT Adywan version, and will get right onto it. :)

I'm a recent newbie to this fabulous world of fan editing, and would greatly appreciate some helpful info. on the following -

Firstly, after recently watching the excellent Adywan 'STAR WARS revisited' XVID release on a p.c., someone was kind enough to put it onto a DVD for me using their equipment and knowhow. However, on watching this disc, I was disappointed to see that although it was overall a reasonable presentation, it was not perfect...

By this I mean the picture looked just a little 'shimmery and pixelated' in certain places, such as during the initial titles and crawl against the black space background. It is probably imperfect all the way through, but at 15 mins. in, at the Sandcrawler trundling through the canyon shot, it is noticeably 'shimmery'. Now is this down to my friend, or a limitation of the XVID's resolution?

Secondly, could someone here also enlighten me if there so far has been just the XVID release, followed by ONE Pal DVD-5 release and ONE NTSC DVD-5 release, or have there been more? Do these have more resolution than the XVID to give a PERFECT picture on a DVD? Are these the ones with all the extras? I believe a dual-layer DVD-9 with even more is coming? Many thanks.

Adywan and doubleofive - Greatly appreciate you doing these comparisons for us.

corellian77 - lol, I can't believe I've never noticed that either all these years! R2 tootling towards us must have always distracted us...

doubleofive - Thanks, your efforts with 'comparison' shots are very welcome. As Chrille has said, it will be a nice way to show some of what Adywan has achieved with this. I look forward to the rest when you can manage the time.

doubleofive - Nice, and once you've added the relevent 'screenshots' to both, they sure will make a nice set. No pressure on Adywan then, lol.

Thanks for sharing, as I love seeing the designs that various folks come up with for their film covers.

My own favoured look for my ideal 'Star Wars' cover, whether 'a new hope', 'Revisited' or otherwise, would be the original dynamic '77 poster art (with all the characters) but with the ACTUAL 'Star Wars' yellow logo on it, rather than the alternative white one that was used.

Adywan - Great to see some of your latest decisions on this project are ones that I'd hoped for.

Interesting to see what you are initially planning doing with your Wampa sequence. I'm curious to see if you end up making the first seen 'yellowish nose and eye area' design with hair covered horns, match up somewhat with the later 'lair' design that rushes at Luke, which features a 'furry' nose and eye area, prominent ears, and protruding horns...or not. I'm not expecting an answer to this at the moment by the way, but I flagged up some options recently, and accept things may even stay much as they stand.

Something I'd REALLY love to see improved would be that dreadful shot where the Millennium Falcon turns on it's side into a 'crevice / canyon' after skimming over the surface of the large asteroid evading the tie-fighters, and there's an explosion. The very poor colouring and effect of the shot at this point look awful compared to the rest of the whole sequence, but I don't know if you are able to improve on things in some ways. Fingers crossed.

JangoJason - I'm sure he and his wife will have loved it! I wonder how many people affiliated to the actual production have seen it yet, or will get to see it in the future...

I don't mean because of Peter Mayhew himself 'passing it on', but rather how many have been already made aware of it by 'other' sources.
