Woohoo! Fun stuff adywan!
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?

I got to say that the Sandcrawler idea is brilliant. This is going to be sweet!

However, all of the action on that still is on the left side of the frame. I don't know if you can do anything about that.

hi everyone, adywan, colours seems to be well corrected, that's a good idea bout the sandcrawler, i'm not sur bout the new landscape when R2 leaves, and the sky is different in every shot, the one you've done is good..

Ah, now here I have to call shenanigans Flopped shots are a good thing. In this case it maintains continuity of direction, which I think is more important that continuity of oil stain. The first shows 3PO looking the left, and so does the second. If you switch them around, it'll create a discontinuity - perhaps not something everyone will notice, but that's why the shot of 3PO was flopped all those years ago.

Aren't you doing the whole saga? If you do Jedi would you consider putting it in their somewhere, like one of the many times Vader pauses and does nothing, extend it, overlay something like that and add some music as well, just a request.

And of course, a friggin' medal for chewie already. Although I don't konw how you would make it look like Leia is giving it to him.

I never said that you said it sounded too cheesy, I just stated that as another possible reason not to use it, because if you were to fudge the lines I think it could work, but I perfectly understand not changing lines to add an effect, you've got to have some artistic integrity here, unlike the creator lol.

Also I just wanted to ask your permission to use your versions in a (far) future edit, youd be highly credited ofcourse (not to mention if ever I use someone elses edit for my own edits, they get a copy of mine), I'm cutting it together right now using the OUT, I may even release this rough version, but in the end I see my edit using your versions, and I'm stating this now in case I release both versions that way people dont start calling me lucas junior for changing things to my "original vision" because right now there actually are technical limitations, ala your edit not being done lol, but i gotta say thats something im glad to see, because, as stated before, your attention to detail is superb and amazing, keep up the totally awesome super duper great work, we all love everything we see so far!

Yeh, should see no problem in using the same take and i'll see what i can do with adding the last few lines of her message when 3PO is looking for R2.
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.
SomethingStarWarsRelated, with regards to the new fixes you mentioned:
1. yes the sky does need fixing. That pink blur is really distracting especially because it moves with the camera.
2. I'm filtering berus voice so she sounds more like she is there and not in a recording studio, also resyncing the lines.
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.
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.

If you find the tractor beam as being too cheesy and totally un-star wars then dont use it, but otherwise, when luke gives that line his back is to the camera and since your re-editing the sound it would be all too easy to just drop that line.

Adywan,
Nice job on the new opening sequence. Since you included the crawl and all that, I'm wondering if you changed something there.
The timing of the sequence has been changed. The Star Wars logo now receeds at the correct speed and the crawl appears earlier, more alongside the music cue that the original pre ANH one did. I always remember the crawl appearing alongide the start of the theme and has always seemed off to me since it was changed.

And here's another idea I just had: When we see the Tantive IV being pulled into the star destroyer hangar bay, the camera is fixed on the Tantive IV. This has always bothered me, as it gives the impression that the Tantive IV is being still, while the star destroyer "parks" over it. Can you alter the shot so that the camera is fixed on the star destroyer as we see the Tantive IV moving into the bay?

Moving on to a different question for adywan... will you be potentially fixing some of the dodgy audio bugs on the 5.1 mix with your edit? In particular I'm refering to:

- The unstableness during Tarkin's infamous "Would you prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system!" line.
- The score during the Death Star attack.

Also I remember seeing somewhere in this thread talk of a scene with the Emperor being added in. Look no further than to the A Digital Man/Darth Editous edit which features a scene after the credits between Vader and the Emperor spliced together using footage from ESB. It works great too.

Anyways looking very forward once again to your edit.

Close to the goal !! adywan, the hit, the shakin, all is good, i love the engines shutting down after its hit, great idea, not entirely sure bout the explosion, too much fire,(can you share the clip without the explosion, i'll tryin something else), agree with you for the tractor beam, no color !

Speaking of incorrect hands, Greedo's are also different from the original shoot and the ILM reshoots. Could we talk you into looking into those as well?
Hmm. that would be a tough one to do, probably impossible, but i'll look into it later.

Another hard one to fix. I'll try a motion fix & see how it goes. it would have been easier if it wasn't done on-set though, so another one that may be impossible to do.

How come the red lasers have a yellow core? You probably mentioned this already but I can't find it.

Originally posted by: cbaka
nice work adywan, tatooine is moving , "the RB trajectory" is better now, but the explosion is too "big", imperials wants just to stop the rebels ship, so a little explosion and effects or somethin like that may be better..just an opinion..any idea ?

Sorry if you already answered this, but what part did you insert "Vaders Theme"

Originally posted by: Erikstormtrooper
Adywan,

This is looking better and better with every screenshot!

Question: Are you fixing the jump cut as R2 is being raised into the X-Wing as Luke is talking to Biggs and Red Leader?
i'm trying to fix that but its proving really tricky, but i'm gonna give it my best shot.
Also, is it just my imagination that the escape pod looks a bit purple?
