I was watching your new final battle clip and when red squadron are approaching the death star, there are inconsistencies between the background stars and when you look out the front windows looking at the death star.
forwards, the stars barely move because everyone is heading straight at the death star.
when we look back at the pilots, the stars are moving right to left diagonally quite a bit. so it creates a bit of inconsistency.
I had the stars moving in that fashion because i was originally going to have Death Star further around Yavin so they would have to be turning around the planet to reach it. But i just couldn't pull it off (did one last attempt after i posted the clip) so the stars in the clip move faster than they would do if they were heading straight. I've now redone the stars and they move hell of a lot slower now.

Just screened Star Wars last night to kinda sorta celebrate 30 years and I noticed that not only are the microphones supposed to be on the left side of the pilots' helmets, but the mic wire should also be on the left side. Any way you can further tweak the flipped Red leader shot to deal with this issue?

Thanks for spotting that one. It's been fixed and the wire is now on the correct side.

that would be a bear for me to correct.

PS, whoever sent adywan the explosions disc, any chance I could have a copy as well please?
I wouldn't be able to do it with the original background because that had to go because of the mic. I'll see if i can add a star field close to the original for you when i get some time. Also PM me about the disc.

No, I'm not. I kind of like it the way it is now although the compositing had some major colour issues, which i've managed to sort out so it looks a little more natural now.

Well i've just finished watching the vid and its not bad. No sound FX or dialogue, just music. Whether we're ever going to get to see a full version of this is another thing. I noticed right at the end when it says "coming soon" a big question mark suddenly appears so this could only ever be a trailer for something that never will be. oh well.

Ok, here's a snapshot of the finished first Red Leader shot that was flipped in the video clip. As you can see the mic is now on the correct side (god that was hell to correct)

Perhaps this is redundant, but do you plan on releasing a just color-corrected version, since you put so much detailed effort into it?

No. A lot of tweaking to the colour has been done after the FX shots were finished so it would be too much extra work for me to do.

What's the Astromech jump cut everyone is referring to?

In the SE extra scene when Biggs meets Luke in the rebel hanger just keep an eye on R2-D2 in the background. They added the person walking in front of the camera to hide the fact that they cut out a section where Red Leader starts talking about Luke's father, but this results in R2 suddenly jumping position quite noticeably.

- I am also wondering why the “All wings report in.” shot is flipped…? Screen direction is very important-…as I’m sure you know!

I'm actually still working on this shot and forgot to add the "temp shot" tag. It was flipped because of the continuity error with red leaders mic swapping sides, but it will be back in its original direction, with the mic on the correct side and yavin in the background.
- About the temp shot after “This is red five, I’m goin’ in.”. I hope you’ll be able to make that shot more convincing. They look terrible compared to everything else!

I'm hoping i can do something with this shot too. I hate how the original looks too much like a model compared to other shots.

To answer DGC General X:

Tellan is correct, although the laser arms are missing from the studio cockpit set, the angle would mean that you wouldn't see them anyway.

As for the stormtrooper voices: I have no plan on changing any of their speech with any Temuera Morrison dialogue. I'm not sure why you posted the link to the Youtube stormtrooper clip twice because that won't convince me otherwise. Watching that has actually convinced me against doing anything like this.

OK, onto something new.

Doing the FX work for the Death Star battle is taking more time than i had first hoped, but i'm going to be taking my time on this section. I want it to be more in line with the ROTJ battle. So more ships and dogfights but this means twice as much work as i had originally planned. So the release date is looking even further away. But it will be worth it in the end. Hopefully i will be able to get this out in time for the 30th anniversary of the UK release of Star Wars (November). I definitely want this out in time for then at the latest.

Well its almost the official 30th anniversary so here's a little something to wet your appetite. Its a split screen comparison from the Luke & Biggs SE scene up to the beginning of the DS battle. It will hopefully give you all some idea of just how different this edit is going to look. This will definitely be the very last clip i will be posting. I don't want to spoil it for everyone by showing too much.

As usual the soundtrack it only a temp one so effects will be missing and out of sync at times and there are a couple of unfinished shots in there too. Also my footage somehow looks darker than it actually is. Not sure how that happened.

enjoy

It's a good idea SomethingStarWarsRelated but , after playing about with some tests after seeing your post, it would be a nightmare to pull off. If you look at all the shots of Vader inside his cockpit then you will see that thay are all taken from and angle. either from below or to the side and there are none taken from directly in front, which i would need a shot like that to be able to pull something like this off. I guess i could use footage of vader from a different scene, recolour it and try and piece the background from other shots but it would be so hard. Even with the HD version the zoom in would be so much & so fast that it would look terrible. Oh, well. It was still a good suggestion.

Now there is one thing i have to make clear , especially after i saw the small disagreement arise about the red R2 unit. I am totally disregarding anything outside of the movies, mainly the EU, for this edit. Because Luke calls it an R2 unit then that is how it will be staying. As Max_Rebo said this misnaming arose when making the toys. Also I will not be adding any characters from the EU either. But this place is here so that people can convey their questions & suggestions, so please let them do that even if you don't agree with what they have said ( unless they say this edit is s**t then just go for it

. Only joking.).

Now to answer a couple of your questions OBtwosy:

when i first saw the film at 4 yrs old, no it didn't bug me... no more than "there'll be no escape for the princess this time"
This has been changed because it causes a slight continuity problem in Luke's garage when they see the holo image of princess Leia. 3PO really has no clue who she is. Even if he was instructed to keep her identity a secret he would have a hard time doing this and would have probably accidentally told his new master about her identity due to loyalties. omitting "for the princess" fixes this easily.

or why change the blue rebellion insignias in the breifing on Yavin 4, or the fact that Greedo didn't blink in the original, or any number of changes

the helmet insignia colours were changed because, although in the novel there is a blue squadron, they don't make it into the final draft so i changed them to red. Any changes are just to fix issues within the movies and not what we know from outside sources. And i added blinking & facial movements to Greedo and an enhancement and not a fix, amongst others. I'm just trying to bring Star Wars into the 21st century.
- I'll just keep my well intentioned questions to myself and stay a lurker until I see the final edit.

Don't stop asking questions just because someone doesn't agree with what you have said. I don't think you should have took so much offence to Max_Rebo's reply. Like i have said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and they are more than welcome here. Without people contributing in here i doubt i would have done half the things to this edit as i have done so far, and thats why you will all be added to the end credit roll.

Oh and sorry if i seemed to have repeated myself a bit. i am recovering from a hangover to end all hangovers after partying hard because it was my 40th birthday yesterday and i overdid things a bit.

If the track for ANH is the true 5.1 pre 2004 mix then i would be very interested in this.

Cheesy comedy--including robot slapstick--is all throughout Star Wars; shall we eliminate it all? I think that keeping the series consistant is in order, and there is a certain childlike quality to its cheesy, light-hearted humor. That is unless we wish to digitally remove all of the ewoks and jar-jar esque creatures so that a bunch of fan-boys can pretend that Star Wars isn't cheesy. Celebrate its cheesy-ness I say.

Actually its isn't all throughout Star Wars. If you look at the OUT it had moments of slapstick but they were very few and spaced very far apart and worked well. Only when the SE's & then the PT came out did the slapstick become more prominent and began to spoil things. They approach Mos Eisley, which is supposed to be a dangerous place, and all of a sudden you have 2 new slapstick scenes ( robot droid & the swoop bike) so close together it takes away that sense of danger. These were unnecessary editions that seem to have been added as a shape of things to come with the PT. When i get around to doing the PT (probably when i'm about 80. lol) Most of the slapstick will be gone so it falls in line with the OT.
