I agree, but maybe it's not just the non blinking, it just seems his eyes should have slight movements. But it's probably just me.

check the 2004 version and he never blinks in that either, his gaze remains static throughout

 Good point, I guess I was thinking there was more articulation there than there really was. Maybe I was thinking of the original blink.

Love the new Emperor holo scene, but the only thing that is bothering me about it is that he never blinks, making his eyes seem like a still frame the whole time.

I know I am always the greedy sounding one, but just asking,  NO is a fine answer that I will respect, but it has been a while, can we expect a clip for Xmas time? Hey, no heat, just asking. Cool either way.

I was thinking Ady was altering most, if not all the backgrounds on the the docking platforms. I noticed the same background and cloud patterns were used for the Falcon and Slave I departures.

Double post, sorry

I read the thread and I know some people in these forums has them, doubleofive said he did, and vbangle you are just as rude as you've been the last 3 years.

Can I get 1997 SE versions (downloading or otherwise) of these somehow? Someone please give me a PM? Thanks!

Gosh I can understand some of the bitterness in here, but some of you go way nuts overboard with the hyperbole, wishing ill on folks who don't do what you want. Have some civility, geez.

Vbangle has treated me like crap too in the past. I might have been too beggy or overzealous at times, but he gets too insulting.

ROTS gets about 80 percent overall good reviews on most movie sites, including rottentomatoes.com

It's slightly thinner, helps give the speeder the illusion of a little more lft. Never been a big deal to me..

Bossk makes a comment (in his language) and his lips nor jaw move at all.  It would be nice to add some subtle touches like eye blinks and some jaw/lip movement to account for the sounds/speech he is making.

But if you look at the scene he has already finished the comment before we cut to see his face so he isn't saying anything when we see him

 I thought you said somewhere earlier that you gave him some facial articulation.

I had the 97 SE on Laserdisc, hasn't someone converted it to DVD?

Why does it have to be either/or why can't it be both?

IT should be restored, but I have not qualms with the SE's aside from a few things. It shouldn't be an either or, or OT against SE, it can be BOTH. Both can co exist. People have a choice.

Hey, he may have done a great job as the Emperor in ROTJ, and as Palpatine in TPM and AOTC, and he may be a fantastic actor ...

... but he gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen as the Emperor in ROTS and the 2004 addition to ESB.  Just ... awful.

 I disagree, they wanted to show the contrast between mild mannered Palpatine and Maniacal Sidious. How could you even hate his performance in the opera house?

Yeah this thread should be all negative, I hate this and I hate that. I want this person beaten and that one dead because my opinon is fact and rules over all. Nevermind many of us would never reach anywhere close to the levels of Burtt or Wood.

I don't get why we can't all get along and accept people have differing opinions without cutting them down and judging them or their motives. It's all OPINION anyway not fact. Crazy that some wish physical violence on people who disagree on movies with them. Geez.

Making it up as you go along is called...writing.

I never once saw anything where Lucas said he had every detail planned from the beginning, he recently told the creators of "LOST" how he also made it up as he went along.

I recall Toilkien retconning things in his stories.

You mean the 5 year difference between Kenobi's timeline age and Guinness's true age at the time of filming ANH? Kenobi is listed as 57 at ANH time, when Gunness turned 62 at the time of ANH filming. I don't see how barely 5 years is such a big deal. Not everyone looks their age in real life anyway.

You know, I'm sick of people saying this crap about contradictions. Okay, I will explain every contradiction I've heard about, and why it's not contradicting, and if there are any I left out, then go ahead and tell me what I did leave out and I will explain that.

Obi-Wan saying that he had two pupils, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader: He said this in order to make the tale sound more dramatic to Luke and the audience, claiming that Darth Vader was a different pupil of his, showing that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker knew each other.
Obi-Wan not telling Luke his father was Vader: Okay, ever since the prequel trilogy, many mentally retarded people have been asking this for some odd reason. It was a fucking secret, they're not going to change that just because the prequel trilogy came out and not let Luke know his father was Vader.
Obi-Wan claiming he was trained by Yoda and not Qui-Gon: Why exactly would Luke need to know about Qui-Gon? He's in the snow, he's trying his best to stay alive, why would Obi-Wan say "Run to Dagobah, and find master Yoda. Oh and Qui-Gon taught me as a padawan."
The new emporer scene: Have you ever thought maybe Vader asks "how is this possible" because he's just in disbelief that a Jedi gave birth when it's against the Jedi code? I'd be surprised too.
"Jedi Rocks" being a song about Jedi after the extermination: Jabba knows about Jedi. Remember when he tells Bib that he was fooled about a Jedi mind trick? Jabba's lair is very secretive, there are absolutely no imperials there. So why not sing a song about Jedi? Now if Jedi Rocks was played in a cantina or something, that'd be a different story. Also note that even if there were stormtroopers there, they probably don't even know what Jedi are either, nor that they are supposed to be extinct. That's something only people who lived during the prequel trilogy would know.

 I think the first two points were pretty much clear ever since that famous scene in ESB. No contradictions there, no. No one even had ROTJ by the time this much was cleared up, let alone any prequels.

Now, the way Obi-Wan tells Luke to go to Dagobah, he adds that Yoda was his instructor as an aside, this is important to the subtext that you are missing here. He could have said anything from "The grand master of the Jedi" "the great Jedi Master" etc. But no, it was very specifically Yoda who instructed him. Not Yoda who instructed everyone, not Qui-Gon who instruced him, not anything else. How to construe it otherwise is a stretch and always will be. As you say he wouldn't have added it lest it was important. Likewise the relationship between Yoda nad Obi-Wan's ghost is shown to be more specific, that of a teacher and his pupil, rather than the pupil/principal relationship Yoda shares with most Jedi in the prequels. Heck, Anakin is allowed to be trained he's never even let anywhere near Yoda. And certainly wasn't instructed by him so that discounts the "trains everyone" bullshit.

Anyway going off on a limb here, but it is inconsistent.

When was giving birth against the Jedi Code? I remember that commiting to a relationship is but giving birth? Besides Padmé wasn't a bloody Jedi anyways and Anakin didn't give birth to anything. O_o

It's not really inconsistant, one of the first lines out of Obi-Wan's mouth in TPM is that "but Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future..." the point is hit further by showing Yoda training children in AOTC, and even after that he was giving Kenobi guidance and instruction as seen in ROTS. I never thought you could read so much in a vague line in ESB. It all comes from watching 4-6 first and conceiving your mind what those vague statements meant for many years before the prequels.

I can't believe the insults to Ian Mcdiarmid's acting here, I stopped reading after those.

That SE docking bay shot looked really good though, wonder if it could be used for the shot where Vader docks at the beginning of ROTJ? The underbelly of the SD would have to be removed and the framing around the bay entrance.

Oh thank Zod

 Looks great, don't know how I missed that.
