I say get rid of the belly altogether and not have her be that far along in the movie. No mention of pregnancy and no birth either. (the word pregnant also makes me cringe - our real world terminology just sounds wrong in a Star Wars film. Just like Padme saying Anakin's not her "boyfriend" in AOTC).

But the main crux of it is that I hate that it's explicitly pointed out "SHE'S LUKE AND LEIA'S MOTHER. AND ANAKIN'S THE FATHER AND HE'S NOW DARTH VADER!!!"

But that's just my wish. I understand there might not be much of a movie left once everything contemptible is removed ;-)

Ah. I had no idea that there was another shot with a near identically positioned shirt in it. Now it makes sense :-)

I think the problem Bingowings has pointed out is that to have it uncropped, Ady would have to use the GOUT as a source just for that one shot. The shot before it was corrected and cropped doesn't exist in any other form, therefore there'd be a visible drop in quality. Even if it was masked in a way that it was just the outfit and the removed parts of the frame that were GOUT sourced, it would still be a noticeable drop in quality.

What's the point of them changing the colors on the ship and stuff? I don't understand why they put so much time into that.

By "them" do you mean Jaitea in his last mockup? In that case, it's for continuity and not at all different to all the other stuff Adywan does for revisited...

^Boba Fett has been ruined by this "explain everything" attitude. Lucas could have still preserved the mystery of this character whilst making shit prequels, but he chose to take a shit on this fan favourite "cult" character as well as everything else. Urgh.

Can't believe how good that looks. Well done!

Well, virtually, anything can happen :-) May not taste as good though ;-)

Feel free to use it for whatever you please :-)

To commemorate the outstanding work going into ESB:R, me (and my girlfriend, begrudgingly) made a Battle of Hoth themed Christmas cake. Merry Christmas everyone.

Seconded. The original saber looks more real with the tapering emitter and the fact the blade in your version is retracting into blackness as opposed to being able to see the tapering emitter behind might be contributing to the retracting looking "a bit wrong". Also the new emitter doesn't match the previous shot which appears to be facing a different direction.

I'm just curious what the reason was for the change. The one in the original shot is still a Heiland/MPP camera flash saber prop, no?

Aside from a dodgy music transition, it was great. Eliminating them meeting grievous really helps things. Now redub Anakin and I'm sold ;-)

Do you see the difference as a more accurate film feel?

Not the best example of saving the washed out edge arround Luke's head still you might get a taste.

The inbetween edges between the glow and the obsured object must contain color and edge effects.

It has to have the edge like it was printed and burned the pixels not just substracting the object. :)

-Angel

The man's got a point, and a strong one.Ady wants ESB:R to look like what it is: a film of the 80's, only that with improved technical quality. But yet a film, not a digital transfer.

What Angel is claiming is directly related to how a film phisically behave as a consequence of the rotoscoping and exposure process the analogical FX for a lightsabre needs.

So, in terms of "real 80`s look" he's being accurate. There's never (before the digital era) been a "perfect" mask, since it always ends up burning a little bit of the original print benneath it.

Greetings!

I wish I could see what you guys see.....Clearly I don't have an eye for this sort of thing. To me it's the same identical pic. And that's with pressing my eyeballs up to an IPS screen. 

I also think it's how quiet the effect is that's making the lightsaber retraction look off. I could be wrong.

Beautiful work.

Any self respecting edit should recolour all the lasers to red (with the exception of the green lasers of tie fighter and star destroyer precursors). No more purple or blue (except for ion cannons) :)

Good work!

If everything else fails, as odd as it sounds, one way to recover your harddrive is to put it in the freezer. It's a trick the 'professionals' use sometimes. It's really a last resort though and probably more a solution for a broken hard drive than a wiped one......I'm not sure which would apply to yours though as you can't really put anything on there to test it as it may overwrite the section of the harddrive you want recovered.

Only discovered this edit a couple of days ago. Don't know how I missed it. Exciting stuff :-)

I've heard good things about recuva...

You'd best get in contact with a professional, then. I wouldn't put much stock in software like that, personally. But I know there are talented pros that do these services.

The 'professionals' just use the same software available to everyone. There are no secret methods.

Had a look at any of those programs? I had a similar issue before (but not with an edit) and a similar program recovered all the important files I needed.

It does seem strange though that the whole hard drive is just showing as empty now. I really hope you get this sorted...

There are programs to recover lost files on a harddrive.

Here's an example of a guide, but there may be newer/better programs by now:

Also, remember that deleted on a hard drive never actually means deleted unless that section is overwritten with something new. It'll still be there, just hidden.

Don't lose hope.

:-/ HOW?!?!?!

I know. I've been watching, though. How goes the render since my yay?

YAY!

^Also makes it quite funny that both times Anakin tries to dual wield sabers, he's been dismembered. Clearly not his strength :-p
