Color correction looks good!...although this type of stuff is much harder for me to notice
Looks like you colored in the horrible blue escape pod door thingy...much better! Sky is nice too!
New Landscape as R2 leaves 3PO...I very much like this idea...just a little too much in the background...my opinion.
New animated Sandcrawler....Cool! Is that the original shot from the OT? Looks similar...
Which sequence are you going to post? Tatooine?

Maybe Lucas will implement some of Trooperman's ideas for AOTC!
Seriously though, do you think he'll change anything in AOTC?

If you are, it *should* be fairly simple to play with that shot of Obi and the droids.
As long as you could create images of a "HAL" for those different angles (and/or close ups)...it seams possible.
Let me know if you are, and I'll try and explain how to do it...

I could post more video clips, but I don't really want to give much else away. I haven't come close to showing you the best sections yet.
I certainly understand not wanting to give everything away. And I don't except you to...
...but if you come across a scene or section where you're not sure of something (be it color, editing, music, sound effects, vocals) please feel free to share and let us give imput.
As you already know, we (or at least *I*) can be very picky about these things...so you'll know you'll be getting honest feedback!
Thanks again for sharing the droid clip!
I hope someone will come along and help out with that scene!

I like the "new" ship shot. Shortened, flipped, new sound, and, I *think* slowed down a touch? Much more OT! Good work!
I think this new scene will work much better than Dex. However....
Still don't like the droids look and movement. The ONLY thing I think you could try and do (until replacing the droids entirely with a HAL 3000) would maybe play with the frame rate (like you are doing with yoda). Maybe make them look a little jerky...a little stop-motion-y, if you will.
One more thing...I had a hard time understanding his last sentence. He said "It's a toxic kyber dart." Then I had to watch it 2 more times to finally get the rest.
Anyways, something to like about...
Again, I really did enjoy the clip. And this scene will work even if you don't get to tweak it anymore.

----I'm not saying it should be gone all together, but, if you look closely, it looks as though they added this ramp late in the game...it just sits there on top of the staris...usually stairs and ramps are more...um...cemented together?
7, 9. I wonder, would the death star surface shots be improved if the image got a trapezoidal transform (drag it out sideways closer to the bottom) to give it more depth?
Also, how about speeding these shots up to convey a greater sense of speed?
----Hmmm...it's worth a try...not sure if the shots will look correct sped up...
13. They are in the middle of a hangar. There should be ships landing and rebels working everywhere in there, so mechanical sounds and cheers could come from many directions.
----Hey, I like that idea! At least add another xwing landing in the background or something!

1: The dice: Well, it won't kill me to keep them...but adding them into the rest of the movie? Not sure how that would work...hmm
2: Hologram: Sweet! Who? How? When?
7 & 9: Death Star surface model: Yes, do what you can please! I remember seeing those shots in the SE and thinking "why didn't they replace those toys?"
13: Hero's reunite: I agree with your line of thinking on the music. But, yes, I would try more crowd fx...
"I'll be posting a few more screenshots in the next few days of a few things that have been fixed or tweaked and these shots will have the new colour correction applied because that part of the edit is a few shots away from being complete. "
Don't forget to post at least one video clip!
Thanks again!

Maybe when the shields go down and the rebels move in, the imperial fleet forms a perimeter around the DS to protect it?
I like that idea, shanep. Or, at least, the image I get in my head is cool!

I certainly understand why Lucas wants it in the picture (looking at it from a saga stand point).
But I've heard good arguements as to why it shouldn't be there (redundant, screws up falcons introduction)
I've also wondered if Lucas hadn't made a special edition until, let's say, next year, would he have included this scene in the film? or would he have just put it in the deleted scenes section?
Back when the special editions hit theaters, we didn't really have any kind of media to show off deleted scenes-...heck, deleted scenes weren't wildly known about by the general audience...
Just thinkin' out loud...

I hear she is much better in some of her others films though....can anyone recomend one for alternate dialoge?
All I have is a pic of the fox logo:
Maybe this can help you make up your mind if you want to use it or not.
I have yet to see this logo in motion, but my guess is that it's pretty cool.
Much better than the original SW. Heck, it looks cooler than the one they use now!

I know, I know...kind of late in the "game". But, man, if you could find better deliveries for at least some of her lines...wouldn't that be worth it?
I was wondering if you would be slowing down how fast the spaceships went by, because in the PT they just wiz by, but in the OT they go fast but not that fast.
Yeah, I *wish*! They animated the heck out of not only the ships but the camera movement!...just like Yoda...ticked me off...
I actually didn't do a lot of that. Mainly because I don't have very good slow-motion software and I can't create new frames in-between to make it smooth enough and professional enough.

Well, even if you did have good software, there would be too much motion blur on the ships...it would look way off...yeah, models still rock!

As regards to adding a hologram officer to the conference room scene, then i will be leaving that scene as it is. I would think that all officers would have been expected to attend the meeting and that attending via a hologram wouldn't have been tolerated.
Well, whatever everyone wants. I just threw the idea out there...
1. yes the sky does need fixing. That pink blur is really distracting especially because it moves with the camera.
--Sweet!
2. I'm filtering berus voice so she sounds more like she is there and not in a recording studio, also resyncing the lines.
--I knew you were fixing the audio...just wanted to make sure beru was specifically attended too.
3. getting rid of that fly is easy, but did you also notice that the treadwell has suddenly swapped places from the shot previous? So another fix to do there.
--Ha! I didn't notice that! Good catch
4. the cantina. I posted a bit further up that i'm tweaking the aliens in the cantina. I'm adding blinks, eye movement and some mouth movements too.
--Yeah, I guess I knew that too. But I had already made that screen cap so I went ahead and posted it anyway.
Man, I can't believe all of the things you're addressing in this edit! So much attention to detail!

And a no vote on the hologram in the DS conference room. It would just look weird. And who would it be? And why would it be there. I wouldn't want to see it unless there was a point in the plot.
Well, I *will* say this: If that change were to happen, I picked that particular guy on purpose. You only see him in that panning shot.
And the whole idea behind this was that I'm thinking PT. This scene makes me think of the Jedi council room scenes.
However I don't have a plot point for this idea.
I agree.
I wouldn't touch the Leia hologram. I always thought that the lip synch problem was intentional on the part of Artoo.

If you do any work on the Leia/hologram scene, could you make sure she uses the same take as in the garage as in Ben's house? The one in Ben's place sounds more desperate at the end. I don't think she had time to record 2 different messages.
I agree.

Hmmm...I've never thought that. I always thought it was because of 77's technology.
However, if you were to go with that line of thinking, lets make Leia's voice sound all garbled up, ya know? Put some distortion on it...or something.

I do see the advantage to the smaller revised explosion...we can't have the rebels blowing up too soon now can we?
Yes, I'll admit the actual explosion is a little funky, but I'd rather have that new revised shot than what we have now!
LOVE the engines shutting down!
Rebel11_38, I like your reasoning behind the tractor beam, but I also see where adywan is coming from...hard to decide...

Yeah, I've thought about a tractor beam as well...
You certainly wouldn't want to copy star trek, but you might not be able to get away from that...
Everyone kind of knows what it's "suppose" to look like. It has a faint glow that might flicker on and off...at least that's how I picture it.
You would also want the sound effect to go along with the special effect, ya know? They would need to "meld".
I do like the idea, though!

As far as the "rough" new audio mix: This is harder for me to tell because of my little speakers on my laptop. BUT I did notice a few things. The sound effects seem to be a little more quiet, which, in this case, is good!
I'm tweaking a few of the aliens in the cantina, adding mouth movements, blinks etc, and fixing the severed arm shot too. no more blood and the correct hand.
This is great! lol, I was going to suggest this very thing!

Nice clip!
The camera shake certainly helps!
Not sure about the lightning impact effect, but it's still cool just the same!
Yeah, if there was a way to remove the smoke and/or make it disappear quickly...
I'm thinking about when the queens ship gets hit in TPM...Because of the speed the ship is going, the explosion kind of quickly falls behind...If I'm remembering correctly...
Again on the camera shake:
Maybe this is too much, but what if the camera began to rumble just a bit as the star destroyer (opening shot) moves above the screen?
