- CGI characters. Maz, Snoke, that dude who gives Rey her rations… Prosthetics would have looked better in my humble opinion.
The Character giving Rey her rations was Simon Peggs character. It wasn’t CG, unless they emnhanced the face during post production. Hopefully we get to see the character in behind the scenes stuff
Peter only played Chewbacca in the seated parts because of his health problems. The rest of the time he was played by a Finnish actor:

How does everyone feel about the new version of the main title? It’s got quite a different feel to it. I wish I knew how to describe music better, because I can pinpoint it but I can’t put it into words. It took me a little off guard when the film started, but I think I like it as sort of a new version for this new generation in the franchise’s history.
I noticed that too immediately. Not sure what to think about it, either.
It depends what version of the film you saw. The main title sounded really weird when i saw it fist in the IMAX3D showing. Almost sounded synthesised and completely lacking. It was really jarring. When i got home i immediately put the soundtrack CD on and it sounded completely different. Went to see the Real3D D-Box version the next day and it sounded like the soundtrack CD version. There was definitely something not right with the whole Imax audio. Almost as if the whole mix was wrong.
Wait a minute I just realized. Where’s Constable Zuvio? I didn’t see him at all.
its a blink and you’ll miss it shot in the Force vision Rey has after grabbing the lightsaber. And it looks like he was getting killed by a lightsaber ( not sure if it was or not because the shot went by so fast)
Well , today , work on the practical side of things for ESB:R has ceased until the new year.
The models in the photos i just posted are 99% completed. Just a few more minor detailing to add, including the Millennium Falcon’s ramp, and they are ready for filming.
The Han in Carbonite is also now completed. But filming will now have to wait until the new year as it’s now stored in my workroom while we get everything ready for Christmas.
So , in the new year, i will just need to finish building the Falcon hangar miniature set and shoot it, shoot the transport hangar set, shoot the Han in Carbonite prop and then add them all into the film. Once they are out of the way, the only thing left to make and film will be the Wampa. The audio , i have already started on , and is about 75% completed.
With TFA and Christmas right around the corner, i won’t be posting a preview clip this Christmas. To be honest, i’ve probably showed too much already. But the main reason is that i just won’t have the time to do anything. I just want to forget about Revisited until the new Year and concentrate on spending time with my family ( and going to see TFA of course 😉 )
So, as i probably won’t be around much from now until the new year, we would like to wish you all , from the entire Revisited team, a very Merry Christmas ( or whatever holiday you may be celebrating) and a Happy New Year…
See you in 2016
I would have posted all the pictures directly here, but this editor is a nightmare to use for me, especially with not being able to resize pictures, add links embedded in the pics to see them full size, have links open in a separate tab/ window etc, so here is the link to the facebook photo album:

Let me just say TFA will be massive let down to any purist. The darkside of the force=SITH even the shitty prequels kept to that!
It was the prequels that introduced having darkside users being Sith. The OT had ONE Dark Lord of the Sith; Vader. Palpatine wasn’t a Sith until the prequels and then everybody became a Darth . Sith weren’t even mentioned in the OT. So this whole thing with the Sith is a prequel thing.
There are already big warning signs for me
- Space ships battling above land (as seen in trailer) Q. Star Wars? A. Yes, indicates battles in SPACE.
We’ve already seen there is a battle in space in one of the trailers.
But why do there have to be battles in space? Empire didn’t have a single battle in space. Just chases. The battle was on the ground. Just because the film has the title Star wars, does not mean that every battle has to take place in Space.
Cleaning up the deleted scene of Anakin killing Shaak Ti would be helpful for me as well. Don’t worry if it’s too hard.
It’s too hard, since it was never filmed.
Are you sure? 😉 Starts at 1:30
That’s certainly a video! Which pulled a lot of their mistakes from things discovered in this forum (Luke’s “Ghost”).
ahhh…ok.i don´t know the shoe in the asteroid field…
Forget the shoe… what about that cockpit shot!
It just goes to show you how re-purposing the shots creates the jigsaw puzzle. Nice corkscrew move there of the falcon in action lol… But where does it go? I’m not opening this book someone else can.
Top tips:
is it the same length as any other shots with the start trimmed off.
does the shot minus the cockpit frame follow continuity of any other shot.
Read the shooting script for the scene
Check storyboards
look for music that has been cut (yes there is) 2 shots have become one.
Have fresh bandages after smashing your head against a wall
The cockpit shot is garbage in that video. Anyone with eyes can clearly see that isn’t the Falcon, but an asteroid. Nothing was reused there. That’s also NOT a shoe or a potato that they point to in the video.
Adywan will be painting his own official cover art, as he did with A New Hope, I believe.
Due to one of the health problems i have, it is now impossible for me to paint any more of the covers for Revisited. Unfortunately drawing and painting is something i have had to accept that i will probably never be able to do again
5 new character posters just released:
So…not to pull a Ronster but I’ve been dying to bring this up for quite some time now.
Adywan, I was wondering if you’ve considered introducing a slight pulsation to the lightsaber blades?
As I’m sure you’re aware the prequel lightsaber blades were pretty uniform glowsticks. Whereas the OT blades, having been rotoscoped by hand have this certain unique living feel to them. Especially in Star Wars(1977).
Starting with Star Wars Rebels Lucasfilm introduced a new stylistic change to their depiction of blades that’s more true to the original film. Here’s a Youtube video where they discuss how they achieved the effect.
It seems they’re continuing similarly to that trend in the new film. Here’s a new commercial that features pulsating lightsaber blades akin to the OT style.
I think it’s a great effect that adds some unique feeling of authenticity to them.
From what I understand of your schedule, if you’re still held up by waiting to film additional elements. Now would be the perfect time to introduce this to the edit if you haven’t considered it already. Similarly because following this you could then introduce it to SW:RHD and the rest of the Revisited saga.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Thanks for your time! =)
The blades in ESB:R already have a pulsating effect that can be seen in this video
You have the option of 24 bit audio in vegas pro. Its in the project settings

In cases like these we're not talking about simple upgrades, we're talking about director's cut. Lucas and Scott couldn't achieve what they wanted back when they shot those movies; producers interference, budget limitations, underdeveloped technology, these are some of the reasons.
If you complain about SW SE, you should hate every director's cut done. The principle at the base of the SE is the same.
The big problem with that though, is that Lucas only direct one of the three. You can't call ESB & ROTJ "directors cuts". Those films were complete how the director wanted them (although Lucas threw out Marquands cut and recut it himself). It's pure bull that the additions were part of Lucas' original vision and that technical limitations at the time stopped him from doing the thing he wanted. You only have to look at most of the additions/ alterations to see that this isn't true
And to say that if you complain about the SE then you should also hate every directors cut is ridiculous. For one the SE's stopped being called that and replaced the originals as the only version. With directors cuts you usually get the original along with it or available as a separate release. Not so with the OT. If Lucas had just kept them as special editions and not tried to bury the originals, then you can bet the hatred towards those films wouldn't be half as bad as it is now. You could just ignore them. As it stands now you are either stuck with crappy DVDs of a non-anamorphic laserdisc master or fan made preservations/ recreations . The more Lucas refused to release the originals, restored in HD, the more the hatred towards the SE's grew
Those are audio tracks. Lots of different sound effects with added effects on each track. many tracks are needed when creating a new 6.1 audio track ;)
To give an idea of what is left to do, here is a screenshot of the audio track editing timeline. each marker on the timeline represents shots left to do. As you can see, the majority of shots left to do involve one of the remaining miniatures/ props etc. Mainly the hangars, wampa and HiC. The audio is approx 80% complete. So not much left to do now ( click on image to see full size view)

Back on topic...
Adywan, 005, etc. there was some talk a while ago about Ady not wanting to release ESB:R until after TFA, has this been confirmed? Is your decision final?
I mean, if it's not done by December, no problem, but if it is, why hold it? Genuinely curious if that's the case, nothing more. I'm planning on doing an OT marathon the weekend before TFA opens and would be really great to have both ANH and ESB Revisited available for it.
TFA comes out close to Christmas. Around the time of the release is, and always has been, my stopping point for doing any work on revisited. I have to plan in advance what can be achieved and completed before this time frame. Especially when building sets etc that will take up one of my rooms ( usually the dining room) . The Wampa set is one thing that can't just be moved and stored away and put back together at a later date. It has to be built, filmed and then destroyed and binned. So, if work isn't completed before TFA is due to come out, then it won't be until the new year.

do you clean the dialogue from the deleted scenes ep4 - ep6 too?
Ideally, yes. But I don't want to get ahead of myself -- for now, it's strictly A New Hope I'm working on.
I really hope that you will do the prequels too. Having a music free centre channel would be a godsend to editors, especially me ;)
6.1 DTS & 5.1 AC3
EDIT: That'll teach me not to read the question properly. Thought you were talking about Revisited.
A new teaser video has just surfaced online.
