Wow, great clip! The changes I noticed are the Executor's engines, CG Millenium Falcon, Yoda's lip movements, re-rotoscoped sabers and the fixed continuity of Yoda getting off Luke's back. Did I miss anything?
As usual, best wishes to you, Ady.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Adywan. May you and your family find strength in this time of grief.

Oh, and to the certain person who emailed me yesterday complaining that i am taking too long to do this edit, and complaining that it isn't going to be done until December or even later, then SCREW YOU!!! How dare you say that i should consider putting my dad in a care home if i am struggling to balance things between looking after him and doing this edit. I am replying to you in here because i instantly blocked your email address. I am NOT going to give you the satisfaction of naming you but you know who you are. You are not even man enough to post it in an open forum because you are a weak pussy. Rot in hell.
What an asshole. You shouldn't feel pressured by anyone to finish ESB:R faster than you are able to. It's your edit, and taking your time is what is making it turn out to be such a well-made job.

I had a muck about with that asteroid with the matte line,....it really is just a few frames, just blended them out in photoshop.

This is great, Jaitea! If you are able to do something like this, Ady, it would be much appreciated.
I hate to nitpick, Ady, but the asteroid on the right at about 4:03 in the clip has a noticeable brown matte outline, will you remove this?
The whole asteroid sequence looks great otherwise, can't wait to see the new canyon shot when it's finished!
Is this still being worked on? I'd love to see it...
The new clip looks great, Ady, but I noticed something: R2's light doesn't ever turn blue in your clip, it just alternates between red and "off." Also, were any of the new Falcon shots made with the Fine Molds model? Or were they CG?
Can anyone list all the changes in the clip? I'm not sure if I spotted all of them.

In the scene where Luke gets his new hand, the droid simply flips two panels down to close his wrist. However, it seems like if he moved his hand at all, the wrist cover would flip open very easily. Is it possible to make it look like the wrist cover snaps shut more securely? It looks really flimsy as-is. Also, matching the color of the wrist to the color of Luke's hand would go a long way in selling the illusion.
What do you think, Ady?

Also, at around 8:55 in the video, the shot of the empty cave (the pre-SE shot) brightly flickers at the bottom of the frame right before it cuts back to Luke hanging upside down.
I believe that is the shadow of the Wampa moving towards Luke
No, there is a distinct bright white bar on the bottom of the frame that flashes just before it cuts back to Luke.

Is it just me or does the lightsabre at 9.38 ignite 2 times accoring to the sound? That can't be right, can it?
This.

Looks great, Ady!

One other issue are the eyes of the tauntans in the special edition.....I wonder if it is possible to add more life to them. Perhaps more blinking, and or movement.....they seem pretty lifeless at this point.
Has it really? I recall Adywan saying that adding movement to the tauntaun's eyes would be a "tracking nightmare."

I don't get the connection, Haraldo23. What does the Sexual Harassment Panda have to do with the random beeps?
The lack of swearing in Frink's edit makes Haraldo a very sad panda.
It's not April Fool's Day already, is it? ;)
ChainsawAsh said:
So why would the receding logos for Empire and Jedi be any different?
Because the 1995 logos look terrible, IMHO.
After some thinking, I'm also iffy on changing something so iconic, the farthest I'd go is omitting the numeral, but I really don't think the title should be excluded, nor do I think the iconic gold/yellow text should be changed to any other color.
adywan said:
I dunno, Ady, I think losing the title of the movie wouldn't be a good thing. It makes sense for ANH since "Star Wars" was the original title, but losing the "The Empire Strikes Back" title completely doesn't sit right with me. Maybe replace the Star Wars logo with the original ESB logo?
Also, Ady, will you be adding more "earthly" creatures to Dagobah (like the snakes and lizards in the original movie), or will you be adding more "alien" creatures?
DF Shadow said:
Hoth showed up in the Clone Wars cartoons....there may or may not have been some local wild life in the background that could be used. Even if they are cartoony style they might be so small in AdY's edit you wouldn't even notice.
Wait, I thought we were talking about Dagobah?
adywan said:
So no one has noticed the creepy smile i added to the emperor when he says "yes, yes". at the end then ;) A bit of a nod the the original 1980 version there
I was going to comment on that. It perfectly matches the smile he had when he said "Much like your father's" in ROTJ. How'd you manage to do that? Did you "cantina-ize" his lips?

Looks awesome, although I noticed that you shifted his gaze and now the Emperor looks slightly crosseyed. Or is that just me?
it's just you. the emperor is looking directly ahead and slightly down so his gaze would be fixed on Vader
I guess you're right. Looks very good, regardless of my nitpicks!

New Emperor comparison clip:

You will see it has had a few tweaks since the last video. But this is the final version. I will not be doing any more work on it.

New clip looks great! Although, is it just me, or is the Emperor looking more to the side (to his right) rather than straight at Vader?

Its a pain tho to get the sounds cause you have to extract them one by one. Just a heads up.
So unless someone was really dedicated, a complete download of just the sounds is highly unlikely
I had no problem extracting them all together by extracting the folder itself.
What is more of a problem for me is that the sounds aren't labeled.

Oh that reminds me, it bothers me that Leia's pronunciation of Han's name changes throughout the movie. Now I can understand different people pronouncing names differently (Tarkin saying "Leeah" while most other characters say "Layah") but why would her pronunciation change WITHIN the movie?
You can see it in this photo:
But what does that have to do with the topic?
Interesting idea, TML. It allows you to keep the Endor footage while making the story more interesting. I like.
