Thanks for that Brash,

That is really quite interesting that I did not realize that the Episodes were added at the special edition stage.

I think it is quite a good idea to Have the Logo for each film Rather than repeat Star Wars Logo each time and remove the text of the episodes.. Or logo and simply episode.

I like the star field on the end credits though.

Not asking for anything to be altered but I would like to see someone do this idea.

You could argue that by watching the first few seconds of each film there is nothing but the opening crawl text that differentiates them and would not know which film it is initially. I think presenting a logo each film would be a nice touch.

@muddy yes seen it a couple of times.

I had no idea they made the crawl like this either

There is a really nice scene in that second link where Mark Hamill is talking about Empire Strikes Back and says he "Thinks this is the one that will go down in History"

I have to say that I really liked that clip amongst other stuff in it but that one especially

I also was watching the old teaser with vivaldi music...

without trying to come across as having a stupid radical idea but I really like the colouring of the Blue star wars logo... I would love to see an opening crawl of this nature.

I think it would be interesting to see a change in colour to the title fonts for each film... But yes I know the classic yellow is great just a thought of what it would be like?

Rotj would be in Red I guess as it was teased ub Red as revenge of the Jedi.

It was planned to be in Blue originally I believe but over a Hoth landscape I just would not mind seeing it on a star field.

What would be better perhaps is to see some inspiration from the teaser used at the very end of the end credits perhaps. and to include the logo for the film which is never seen within the footage.

I just find That shot of Vader at the end Really Haunting.. If that could be re-created like a reflection of him looking out of a window that might be pretty scary very end.

Or even an alternative credits for revisited which was suggested earlier in the thread

Anyway I would love it if there was some kind of documentary to go with the revisited release if possible and with as much old footage as possible in really poor quality because it is more charming that way.

Just found this clip of ILM Artists on Empire strikes back

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEtq3iNWQOw

Poor quality but could be useful

And the Risk Business

I always wished for a bit of sunset of Hoth...

Really good news, seems that this really could not have worked out any better than this result.

Some High Adventure going on... I really cannot wait for this project to complete but that does not mean I want it to come out any sooner than it is absolute.

I am rooting for the revisited team wholeheartedly, one of the most inspiring projects I have ever had the pleasure to discover.

Excellent and commendable Keep it coming and ride the crest of that wave you are on.

A lot of people I'm sure would give the shirt off their back to get there hands on that Han in carbonite eh :)

Is the speeder flap operated by string pulley?

If you are having a dig at me Ender I don't mind... I probably deserve it.

Funny post! :)

What about the post conversion 3D versions that will be out soonish... I bet they will change stuff for this release.

If they do, is there any way to separate the 3d image and use the Base footage.

There probably would be audio out takes for James Earl Jones but unless it gets released we will probably never hear them.

Just look how long it's taken for the Blu-Ray deleted scenes to show up and they did not get a restoration either.

Once it get's an 8K release you might see a bit more or hear a bit more then because they have to give you an excuse to buy it again

If you want to scrutinize spelling and words.

how about this version

UK Energy Companies, Price Hikes and the Media Response

....Just leave me alone I am drinking tinny Beer in the dark

I think the whole brother sister thing was done wrong...

I did a rough cut of ROTJ and I based the edit off of this plot line somewhat.

Luke does not need to tell Leia she is his sister to protect her. As Ben told him to do so. (That is important I think)

When Leia get's shot in the arm I put this against the scene where Vader senses that Luke has a sister (preferably cutting Leia killing the storm troopers while Han says "I Love you" and Leia says "I know")

I cut all the Jealousy out between Han and Leia

And I tried to use the scene where he does reveal that she is his sister at the party as they are both still wearing the same clothes and makes it plausible. Although it cut's off short and feels like there needs to be more.

But I altered the dialogue of Luke "The force run's strong in my family.... I have it... and my Sister has it" Because Vader has now gone, the father of them both.

If only I could have added Luke saying "I was right" that would be what was needed to top it off and Leia nodding. or something along those lines.

Literally?

1. UK energy Comapnies

2. Price Hikes

3. Media Response

Quite unacceptable price rises in Energy costs are being implemented in the UK by Energy companies.

I read the front page of the sun newspaper and it says "Hit the Energy companies where it hurts"

"We are asking you to switch off your appliances and stop them from making profits and pay as close to base minimum" or something to that effect

Now I thought about this and is this what they actually want?

If any action were to be taken by the general public against energy companies it would be to switch as much as you can on as possible by as many people as possible for a small amount of time at a designated time. And make it so supply cannot possibly meet demand.

It may be the case that they are worried about being able to supply enough power to growing populace and the cost of the process and of course investment in the future but this should have been worked in long ago.

It's coming at the issue from a totally different angle.

Your thoughts?

Why on Earth is Hayden there!!!

Yes keen to play with that one... and explore the possibilities

Ok Muddy heres another combination...

How about Anakin Ghost first and then Yoda and Ben join him?

That might work really well that Anakin wants to see Luke again and that Ben and Yoda show up with him after he appears.

I also think that honestly this could make it less sentimental and more heartfelt.

Do you think that a good side ghost of him is the redemption?

I don't think that is the redeeming moment... It is when he says "tell your sister you were right about me."

And saving Luke

The ghost is like I said wrapping the neat bow around it all... If anything it's over sentimental but I think messing around with it has made it a lot worse.

The Ghost...It's like a window to what Vader would have been if he were not Darth Vader Tortured soul that he was. But we already saw him come out of the evil trance like state he was in under the control of the emperor. He was neither a Jedi or a particularly good person but he did the right thing in the end for the love of his family.

I honestly believe he does not need to be there as a ghost... Although he is from the original without trying to sound radical It really is not needed.

And the whole swapping ghosts has made it worse I think.

May as well have this for the next official iteration as It is the only incarnation left

Just for kicks

Yes intentional, I am just wondering what it would look like if the ghosts all showed up at the same time :)

rather than fashionably late to the party.

Putting Anakin in the middle might also help convey that he is with them... A little re-arrangement... It's worth playing about with just to see what this does.

I like a lot of things in that mock up...

I think it is more or less nailed it with the fleet leaving endor as the way to go and cut the celebrations galaxy hopping.

Although I would shave that back a lot more.

The problem with ROTJ ending is that it tries to wrap everything into a neat bow and it really takes away from the ending that approach and does not leave any scope for life goes on. the mock up fixes a lot of that problem.

Just need some new celebration music and original ghost or no ghost.

The problem with the ghosts is that they fade Anakin in afterwards he should be there from the very start with Ben and Yoda if he appears. It was a bad idea and comes across as an after thought either they all show up together or only Ben and Yoda.

I had a couple of last audio edit suggestions I wanted to raise.

one is an observation that C3-PO's voice sounds a bit odd. Not sure if these lines are in the radio drama but if they are I would suggest a swap only to C3-PO's lines or EQ the sound of his voice so it sounds more like he does normally. There is a strange hollowness to these lines in particular.

Radio Drama line sounds much better less like he is talking into a paper cup

2nd one is the sudden cut to the crowd panic when in cloud city, I know Ady flatly said no on this but I think he might of thought I meant continuing crowd noise. So I mocked this up as I only mean bridging the cut with sound overlap.

third enhance the background sound of the space train that goes past the landing platform. Good excuse for a pan to be added here... Similar to the soldiers running past the falcon if implemented could also be enhanced with a pan effect.

And that is it. Link below

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/ofs0ubhsk1e1am2/Cloud_city_BGSFX_audio.mp4

that is all I can think of for audio cannot think or see anything else now.

Treat any sounds I used as markers for a "Blank"

I wondered this myself...

It is 50 outtakes of Luke and Yoda on Dagobah in Return of the Jedi. Or at least that is the description I have found about the disc.

Will be interesting to see this and any other outtakes.

The hunt for this material is now on I guess.

I don't know what the other discs have on them though or how many of them there are apart from this one.

Some interesting developments....

I will donate some cash to the project but I have not had any cash come in for ages. I did a job for the company that Jaita works for and they still have not paid quarter of a year later.

I think they are trying to screw me or they are incredibly disorganised. Either way not happy but I will donate something once it starts to come.

Not a personal attack on you Jaita but not to sure about your company. I may have to take them to small claims court as it stands.

On a cheerier note good news on that disc... I wonder what that will be like.... It also makes you wonder how much footage there is locked away somewhere.

Bingowings said:

The sapphire ice caves look lovely but don't really look Star Wars (well at least OT) I can see something like that being in the Order 66 montage of ROTS but not ESB.

Had a visual idea for the Wampa Ice Cave

I am only talking about background elements. Perhaps Increasing Depth??

This is crystal cave in Iceland

Might be a good source for inspiration or shapes less set and more realism

But keeping the core feel of what it is in the film originally

Some of these ice shapes could make the cave a little more fantastical

Original shot of the cave... the special edition is more rocky which is perhaps more realistic but anyway I hope we see the shadow return.

 Maybe he's saying "Waldorf Salad"? ;-)

"I'm not paying you to keep some bit of skirt hanging around"

Thanks for the revelation I never put Rieekan in Fawlty towers until now. It's the hair.

That would be suicide..

Without being 100% sure I checked the scene at 80% playback speed.

And If I had to call the missing word I'd say it was "understood"

but that is my best guess. I say this because of C3-PO body language and no other reason.

I agree that he says Launch Patrol as he is turning

Anyway moving on.

No probs... I spotted it and there are a couple of others like this so I raised a flag on it.

At the end of the day i don't have a major issue about it... But I thought it was a bit odd.

If he did say something at that point... It was cut what ever it was.


???? I don't have an answer for it
