Maybe when the shields go down and the rebels move in, the imperial fleet forms a perimeter around the DS to protect 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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm stripping the soundtrack down to just the dialogue track, equalising the dialogue and then building it back up to a better 5.1 mix with new effects to give a better surround experience. I have managed to get hold of a 7 disk Hollywood Foley library and i'm in the process of making up a star wars effects library. I really don't like the mix on the DVDs. Too much emphasis on sound effects, music cues you can hardly hear or have disappeared completely, and an overpowering subwoofer (bloody bad idea to let ben burtt do the final mix).

I'm going to be adding the remnants of the fleet being caught up in the energy wave and you'll see them being destroyed. I think it will give the destruction of the Empire more impact and will take this sequence away from the "ANH rehashed" feeling I've always had about ROTJ's ending. Another thing i always wanted to see that was in the script, and will be in my version, was when the rebels realise the shield is still up and some ships couldn't turn in time impacting into the shield.

I suspect that Starkiller Ranch will actually begin with SOTDS. Unless there's another release scheduled for the next couple months that I'm not aware of!
SOTDS goes without saying!
As for ROTJ, I might wait for the release of the "ROTJ- .83" edition. I think he has some interesting ideas as well.

Hmm maybe the other two Death Star could be a threat to Naboo, Mustafar, Uptopia, or even Tatooine.
