I can't believe that the fans are trying to explain why force lightning reflected of Windu's saber and not Obi-Wan's, all because Lucas failed to compose a reasonable story of why Palpatine looks like a monster in ROTJ. 

Lucas was too keen to reproduce craft, scenes and characters as they were 16 years later in the timeline of the OT, as I and others have said, its a shame we didn't see earlier versions of Vader & 3PO (like McQuarries designs) or Palps disguise slip when he attacked Windu & gang, only to be nice again when declaring himself Emperor in front of the senate.

Its a miracle that the Falcon didn't make more of a cameo!!

Replacing backgrounds with those from ESB can only be possible if the scene had locked-off cameras like Luke & Leias Death Star swing and the least amount of masking & keyframing to keep it believable, Luke's Lightsaber training on the ESB Falcon would be pretty hard with all the motion blur etc (i'm not sure if the ANH footage of Luke is locked-off) and thats just one person in that shot with its background replaced.

It would be very time consuming.

I don't know if Ady has done anything about the crappy Vader hologram 

Heres my take:

Is there the possibility of just replacing the shot with Vader on a viewscreen?  When you think about it, it is rather silly to have a smurf-sized Vader (or anyone) on what looks like a cigarette plug-in hologramadd-on... 

I've changed the hologram a bit to look like a viewscreen- 3 versions

No problem Angel

I agree you can't beat the colour mix that Ady corrected in his edit, but the concepts that Angel's creating with their desaturated colours breath new life into the images, he turns the frames into works of art, they make you ponder, they make you unsure if he has added any of the design, the technique he uses lets you notice elements that you would not otherwise stop and look at.

Heres the scene with his floating chairs

I motion-ised one of Angels concepts on the last page DuTwan,

I think its great to see people being creative and showing their perceptive of how they see how scenes should go, can't wait to see some more edits Mr Cutter!!

J

Hey going back to the fallen AT-AT that yoda1138 edited very nicely done and sorry if i'm stepping on your toes, yoda...but I did a version.

When I saw ROTS this was the bit I cringed at the most, the lightning caused his disfigurement?? what??

I really think this is an excellent cut. The mirrored telepathy voice really helps the stupid quick turnaround of Anakin's loyalties (helps!!, this is the part in the movie that I can't swallow, no mater what editing can be done) 

Its a pity that there was no way to restore Palps face to his pleasant face when he declares himself Emperor, that would show how deceitful he really is... that he can disguise how rotten he is on the inside.....bit like Tony Blair.

J

Very nice design Angel, nicely done & interesting viewpoints!, did you use a 3D program to design the chasm? Sorry, copied from The ANH:SE Redux Ideas thread.

Also nicely done, amaizing!!

J

Wow that was cool Moth3r!!!

J

Theres the unused composition 'Sail Barge Assault (alternate)' which is upbeat on the double Sony ROJ soundtrack (also called 'The Return of the Jedi (Alternate)' on the Bonus disc of the Star Wars Trilogy Boxset) it is just over 5 minutes long so there should be something you could use of it.

Can't wait to see more of your edit,

J

It's maybe that salted popcorn

J

I know you've said the youtube clip is only a rough cut but the music really brings me out of the segment. Lando's space battle with Empire's Han & Leia's love theme playing for example.

J

I don't believe this!

J

The CG'd menus are only available in SD and to me look fake & would stand out more than the SE added footage.

I think Angel was underlining the potential of 3D camera projection.

J

Nice editing Mr Cutter, Grevious's spinning sabers seem more of a serious threat

J

Could anyone use this one?

Vader offering help

J

Another page of funnies?

Off topic a bit but ...

Anyone have a link or know where I can get a decent res ESB 30th logo, the grayish one with Yoda at the top? Thanks!

 

This logo is from the back cover of the Marvel adaption of ESB from the SW website.

J 

I will be interested to see your edit.

ROTJ is a pretty bad movie, I remember sitting in ABC cinema Belfast in 83 aged fifteen with ESB memories still in my head looking around the audience thinking 'Do they all think this is shit?!'

As i've always said......Cheap!

Cutting out the cringe will leave this movie as a disconnected skeleton, we really need reshot, Re CG'd & rethought elements to bring this movie up to the standards of ANH & ESB

J 

Nowwww!! (waves finger)

What have we been telling you??.......

Take it easy.... IT CAN WAIT....your health is more important, mate!
