Any opinions` on the x-wing and tha snow speeder?

Ok. I just noticed a few things in Empire that I wanted to ask about. Sorry if these were mentioned before (and I'm pretty sure that some of them were).

When Leia tells the pilots about the evacuation, one of them is holding the X-wings laser (?). Then he let's go the prop moves. I think that a space ship/star fighter would be more solid. Hopefully this screene will clarify what I'm talking about.

Ady, will you be making any changes to the glass screens in echo base? They don't seem to be very helpful and yet the woman somehow knows when to launch the first transport (I think someone mentioned this but I can't find it so...)

Also will you change the panel on the Executor?

Finally, and don't get me wrong here because I don't want to start a whole thing about the snow battle but will you be replacing this shot (I'm almost sure someone asked about this ;/)?

Thx.

Do I see a Simpsons reference?

Terrible acting is common in the prequels. It is a shocker when the acting is good. I doubt the cast from the OT could make these movies much better. They are just really badly written.

You are right. But to be fair Liam Neeson was quite good in episode one.

You are jocking right? TFU had a terrible story!! It made Vader look like a complete and total idiot!!

Portman is just plain terrible in that scene... or is that just me?

Worst mockup EVER!! Still it gives the idea... I hope. It's 00.42 here ;/

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound like an ass :P I know it would take a huge amount of effort but i thing that it would look more realistic with a "simpler" shape? Like changing the top of the corridor to something flat instead of round (something solid with lights?)? And making the windows less reflective? It looks like they're in a bubble.

The problem with the second one is that the whole corridor looks fake. No matter how you change the colors it'll always look fake.

How about kamino is more grounded as brightness like Nostromo and less like tantive  ?

Yeah I agree with that. It looks much better.

You wouldn't by any chance be originally from Northwest Indiana, currently living in Colorado, would you?  (I ask because I know someone who spells his name the same way you do ... )

No.

ChainsawAsh said:

That's actually not a bad idea ...

Thx.

Oh SMEGG!!

Btw Ady did could you consider putting some of the better mockups in your releace as bonus... let's say concept art?

vaderios said:

As i promised. New death star with several organic works on its wip section.(still consdering the idea of ships flying around it. Or TIES to show more the scale of this metal beast)

Bingo's idea to look like eclipse in front of the sun and greater scale so its not a ball that stands there.

The one on the right would make an awesome wallpaper. Can you send it my way in some better quality?

This looks like another job for Ady's Hand

 

Definitely... I'm a big fan of Ady's hand jobs!

Hahahaha... You made my (lazy, lazy) day.

Lol. All I see is a red/gray blur. :P

I always thought that Obi-Wan stopped training after his friend and student turned to the dark side of the force. "I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father.", "Your powers are weak old man". And that's why the Vader/Obi duel looks the way id does. Just my thoughts on it.

He may do that, he did it with the Ben/Vader fight in Star Wars. There's nothing wrong with the duels as such, just that the prequels had much better choreography and they make them look a little pedestrian.

I disagree. Aside from a few shots in Duel of the Fates, the PT lightsabre duels look contrived, rehearsed, and choreographed. Of course, that's because the duels in all of the Star Wars movies are in fact contrived, rehearsed, and choreographed, but the OT duels (aside from ANH, of course) don't look that way. In Luke's duels with Vader, it really looks like they're each trying to skewer one another. In the PT duels, it just looks like each contender is trying to swing his sabre around fancily and make contact with the other's blade.

Sure, the PT battles look pretty. So do acrobat routines, parades, and rock concert choreography, but there's no real danger to be found. I prefer my lightsabre duels to be a little more realistic and spontaneous, myself. The PT duels are many things to many people, but they certainly aren't spontaneous, or believable.

To sum it up.

 

Oh yeah. I agree 100%

These ROCK!!!

I wanted to ask something. I've been watching these threads for some time but so far i haven't seen anyone mention this and I didn't see it on the first page so... Well actually it's not a thing to be fixed because it's fine but I wanted to know is Ady considering adding a small (very small) speedup to some parts of the Luke/Vader duel. Like I said It's not a thing to be fixed just considered.

Hi! I just joined but I'm not new to these boards. I've been watching the progress of the revisited projects for quite some time now. I just wanted to give my 2 cents about the V2 of episode IV. I for one think that George Lucas was right when he said that movies are never finished. We can always improve them and star wars is a good example. If Ady thinks that there is something he could make better or add a few things to his edits than I'm a loyal supporter.

Also Ady, I would like to thank you for Star Wars Revisited.
