UPDATE OF THE PRIZE DRAW

Could that set be a Nerf ranch and it's a settlement of Nerf herders? ;)

I've been pretty busy lately so haven't had the chance to go through and read and reply to all the comments. Hopefully i will be able to shortly.

wrong thread, sorry

i did the new impacts just to prove a point. people were complaining it was too slow ( even though there was only about 3 frames in it) Now, i exactly matched it to the frame, as it was in the original, now its too fast. It just goes to show how deceiving things can be.

 ANH:R is better......And with what I've seen of ESB:R that is far better too. Have you seen the Yoda lip synching? I'm just saying don't shit your pants for no reason. 

 It's certainly not better. It's just an alternate take on a special edition. It should never replace the original untouched versions.

Here is the download link to the fully completed Escape from Hoth/ Asteroid Chase scene comparison video. It's just over 180mb . Enjoy

all the ANH project files were deleted years ago. I no longer need them so it is a waste of space keeping them on my hard drives.

Sorry, but i no longer have the original subtitle files.

I've solved this mystery. It isn't a different take. It starts off exactly the same as the original, but the background is a different comp. But the whole landspeeder, including R2 & 3P0 is a still frame image, only Luke and Ben remain animated from the original and then when Luke turns his head to the front they freeze that frame. His hair stops moving and the whole angle of the speeder remains flat throughout.

Not working on anything at the moment apart from getting very drunk

"Frames" uses the transfer done for the DVD's/ Blu-Rays, so the colours are the same.

Happened again today. Out for an hour or so.

I was watching the blu-ray of Return Of The Jedi yesterday with the archive commentary (some great comments from Carrie Fisher, by the way) and noticed, for the first time, a change which I can't find mention of anywhere. When Han and Lando are exchanging their goodbyes in the hangar bay, Lando has always said "I'll take care of her, she-she won't get a scratch". She-she? Yes, she-she. Anyway, it's been corrected in the blu-ray. Finally, Lando simply says "she won't get a scratch".

It made me wonder what other changes have been made that aren't talked about and how the blu-rays would've benefited from some input from George Lucas and Matthew Woods concerning the new alterations and the reasons for making them.

 Nobody is talking about it because it hasn't been changed. Lando STILL says "She-she.." on the Blu-Ray. It's only on the commentary tracks that he says "she won't get a scratch". Strange that they would fix it for that and not the main audio track. But it's a 2004 change because it's on the main commentary track that was on the DVD's, although it's too faint to have stood out before now.

Ronster, you need to try it along with the video. You will find out that there is a whole shot of Lando missing & extra footage in  the Special Edition. That is where the problems really lie.

That was one thing that i was worried about; were they going to go with the Ep3 costume? Thank god they have given us the old and better Chewie :)

 It is not a flaw that some building in the far distance is the same behind both the Millenium Falcon and the Slave I.

 Some buildings? Actually it's all of them, including the same clouds because they used the exact same matte for both platforms, so it is a flaw:

I'm guessing its pretty obvious Daisy Ridley is the daughter of Han and Luke based on the fact she sits right between the two actors.

 I hope not. That would be physically impossible. Or is the title for Episode 7 going to be "Brokeback Jedi" ? ;)

That has to stay as a flipped shot for continuity. Not all mistakes can be fixed

yeh, there is a little more noise in the Revisited version. But i'm not too bothered about it. I'd take a little noise like that over how bad the blu-rays look any day.

I haven't tried to reverse the crushed blacks because i don't like the artefacts it creates. What part did you notice this on? If you can post a screenshot from the video i can post an uncompressed image.

Latest video. Just over 10 minutes of completed ESB:R
