I've uploaded video to youtube of Ian McDairmid's narration on The Musical Journey DVD. I've left the inserted "Luke" with no background soundtrack incase Ady wants to use it. I added a bit of reverb and sped the pitch up a shade to try and match the next words. I'll give the link next post. Its uploading now.

I wish Id never had to think about this problem with the movie. It all flowed. But now it jumps out, annoys me!!   Aahhh, when I think back to Michael Robb saying "we've got an exclusive for you, for the first time on British television.....The Empire Strikes Back!" the clip showed from "Luke, don't its a trap" to "I've been waiting for you young Skywalker"......a connection to the vane from the city on your model Ady, no Rik Olie needed.

Yeah defiantly the room with the window is below the chamber and yes the camber is in the vane but its just Lukes' arrival that annoys me.....thats all no big thing.

I see what you mean, but then don't they have to travel the length of the tube that connects the fin to the wall of the chasm? Is it some kind of long hallway or is like a travel tube of some sort? How long is the tube anyways?

Ok this is the way i see it....

The workers in Cloud City seem to be the Ugnaughts while the rest seem to be residents (extra revenue & good business sense so income is not reliant on the gas mine). The Carbon chamber is located within the vane. To get to it you have to travel down a long shaft. Now the carbon chamber wouldn't be the only facility in the vane as this would serve some other purpose too to do with the mining the gas. Now travelling down the shaft to get to the facility doesn't seem stupid to me as it is a mine and the long shaft may symbolise the shaft that coal miners had to travel down each day. Now if you look at the city it does seem a very clean place and a place that the wealthy would reside (especially when you see the rest of the galaxy at that point in time). Wouldn't it make perfect sense to have the mining facilities and industrial sector tucked away in the bowels of the city?

After studying the movie it is clear that the carbon chamber is situated directly above the room with the window in the vane.

 

 

Sorry again, just watched clip and obviously my memory is not what id like it to be. Luke DOES get sucked out the window of the vane after Vader throws debris at him, but I still think the Chamber somehow should be in the city and not in the vane if only to explain Lukes' arrival there. 

Sorry but I think when you watch the movie you get the feeling the freezing chamber IS in the main body of the city and not on the vane. When Luke gets sucked out the window he 'luckily' lands on the vane. The sudden reappearance of Vader whilst Luke was walking through the corridor of the vane makes you think shit how did he get there! Makes you jump! It just doesn't make sense that when Luke got separated from Artoo that he had such a long journey to face Vader (in a few seconds!!) or those seconds robbed.  

Hi Ady, I dont suppose you have checked out the revell easy-kit of the falcon, it has a major flaw - the height of the 'side walls' are too high. This is easily rectified. I bought the model over 2 years ago and was well into the modification but i shelved the project cause the wife and I had kid no.2.

I just havent had time to get back to the project. I could post a couple of pictures to show how easy it is to mod.

This kit is still kicking about in the shops for about £30.

Hmm.... Yes.......Yes.......Yess!!!!

Fantastic work Adywan, as usual!

I,m sorry Jeyl but I don't see anything negative with what Ady has done, the X-Wing looks fine to me, in fact it kinda impesses me that the Empire actually hits something, unlike the stormtroopers in ANH & remember Empire is a 'darker' movie anyway, never mind the triumphant music.

And on to warping. Warping! 

What is warping?

Bending or melting of plastic or steel?

Star Trek terminolology of going into Lightspeed, perhaps?

Oh yes Jeyl, I think I know what you're talking about,......no the jump to lightspeed looks perfect.

A fantastic effect sequence once again by Adywan. Keep them coming!
