Pre visualization on the effects scenes tends to happen before or during principal photography these days, so it's not impossible.
Aside from Harrison's injury, they seem to have had a smoothly running production so far. If they wrap before the holidays, everybody gets a breather if they have to do any pickups or re-shoots early next year.
I'm only posting this so that I am not alone in my jaw dropping befuddlement, and general mass confusion as to why this exists. If it's offensive to anyone, I apologize.

That would imply they would have a very rough cut of the film for him to view?
As Anthony Daniels has finished his part in the movie, perhaps the end of filming can't be too far away now.
Maybe we'll get a teaser this Christmas after all...
Works for me! Looks great.
As the Dolby Digital track is in the right analog channel, yes.
So it should be easy for you to put something over the hologram display that Palpatine quickly shuts off every time someone walks into his private office?
We have those vast majorities to thank for VHS being more popular than Beta and Laserdisc though. ;)
Were there even any 4K cameras available when AOTC and ROTS were being made?
Yeah, 4K is mostly a marketing thing at the moment, much like DVD's that touted HD masters. Titles like Ghostbusters have been remastered, and according to reviews look better than the early releases though.
4K sets are bound to come down in price, so it will eventually be a no brainer.
IIRC, 40 inches was the limit for a CRT. Anything bigger would implode too easily, and that's almost as bad a 200 pound monster sitting in your living room that's already a bit nose heavy.
When I replaced the 30 incher in the living room five years ago, I almost ended up like the Wicked Witch of the East. Why most analog tv's didn't have freaking handles on them, I'll never know.
Didn't Sony's first 4k set have a bunch of movies built in on a hard drive or something?
But I'm talkin' 'bout THX!
They say this cat THX is a bad mother...

Oh and a one-armed wampa. I dunno how long those live.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wampa
Wampas were even said to possess, at least in one case, the capacity to retain long-term memory.[15] During the Rebel Alliance occupation of Hoth during the Galactic Civil War, Jedi Luke Skywalker was attacked by a wampa while patrolling the planet's ice wastes, but he escaped the creature's clutches after slicing off its arm with his lightsaber. Almost a decade later, during a return visit to Hoth, Skywalker re-encountered the same wampa whose arm he severed years before.[1] Skywalker claimed that the one-armed beast remembered both him and his lightsaber.[15]But I dunno, I suspect the Wampa just pretended to remember Luke so things weren't awkward.
LUKE: Wampy! Hi there!
WAMPY: Uh, hi....you...
The most unsettling sketch Robot Chicken has ever done.

Yeah I would. I may be the last person out there who has an audio tape player.
I still have my old Sanyo Walkman, and a double cassette deck in mothballs.
I do wonder if any audio cassette duplication facilities are still around. Are books on tape still a thing?

Okay, if Dennis Muren could make full motion dinosaurs for Jurassic Park in 1993 that looked awesome, why did the CGI in the 1997 Special Edition films have to SUCK Bantha oysters?
:)
...Bantha oysters? :P
No doubt similar to Rocky Mountain Oysters. ;)
I missed out on moobs?
Many years ago, I read an unsold Voyager script that was posted online by the writer that wasn't half bad. It involved the Voyager crew finding the Defiant from the TOS episode The Tholian Web.
IIRC, it didn't sell because of the expense of recreating all the TOS sets. The Defiant did appear later on Enterprise of course.

As suggested by 'Wook...
Maybe slow it down before the turn, so Anakin has time to say, "Who are you?" or something similar before the big reveal?
You fiend! ;)
Would you buy an actual tape of the Awesome Mix?

You would quote me in the middle of editing my post to an image link that works. ;)
I normally don't give a crap about Blu Ray steelbooks, but this is pretty cool.

I'm not sure I understand how it fits there.
It would be funny to hear the song starting up as the helmet is powered up and lowered on his head, (use that tinny AM radio effect?) implying he's going to be hearing it the rest of his days.
If Bob Garcia ever returns from the edge of the galaxy, maybe he could put a Vader alarm clock next to the bed? ;)

Luke also used a lightsaber on Endor, but the only witness died... or so we know.... there's a lot of hiding places on Endor. ;-) If Boba Fett survived (and according to Lucas, he did), he saw Luke with a lightsaber as well.
An Ewok did witness Luke taking out that speeder bike. Unfortunately, it was Corpsey. ;)

Well, and the denizens of a disreputable bar in a spaceport of an Outer Rim planet controlled by the Hutts.
Who's going to believe a bunch of drunken spacers though? And the bartender doesn't remember or care, so long as you don't use blasters. ;)
I'm guessing this is a bootleg of some sort. What caught my eye is that the bonus features sound a lot like Team Blu's version.
And someone else has been bundling Team Blu's disc with retail copies of the first film and the remakes.

Jeebus! That is the most disturbing animated gif I have ever seen posted to this site.
LOL! I think it works!
Is there any way to put in a couple flashes timed to the lightsaber hits? Also maybe a "thud" as the cleaved clock radio hits the floor?
The glow also needs to be more blue like Ani's saber, or is Youtube screwing up the colors?
Another drone view of the rebel base set. Looks like they might have been filming? Lots of people running around.
