Ady,
You do what you need to do when you need to do it. ESB-R gets delayed....it gets delayed. Do not listen to the people who whine about how long it seems to be taking.
The rest of us are here for you.

Now here's a quick little fix i've just finished (please don't cross post this to anyone elses youtube account)
I, for one, don't think the line needs any pitch tweaking. He sounds more in control, more mature.
Great job.
I just noticed that a couple pages back, but only yesterday, something I posted appeared 5 darn times. Just so you know, I didn't do a darn thing, but the page went away when I tried to type something after the use of the quote. After the page failed, I tried again and it seemed to work just fine. Until I looked back at what had occured since my last visit.
So it wasn't just Sky having mystery problems.
But I sure can try to set a new record, if there is an award.

I got this information from someone who wanted to be in the credits for ESBR and he mentioned something about being asked not to help out. I could be phrasing it wrong, I deleted all of my PMs once I could delete them more than one at a time. :-)
I can't find any evidence that its true on any of the 501st sites. In fact, one of the only threads I can find is them asking if anyone wanted to shoot the Vader hologram for Ady!
There is no official (or informal) request to not cooperate with Ady's edit to either the 501st or the Rebel Legion. However, also understand that no one is going to directly ask anyone associated with LFL about their stance, either.
That said, I'm going to send an e-mail to someone with an ESB pilot costume, to see what the reaction is. If the response is positive, I'll put them in contact with Ady.

I also like the cannon surrounded by nothingness. If it were close to the rebel base, the Imps would have been focusing on destroying the cannon as well as the generator.

I think I will play a new game on the forum.
I am going to place Janskeet on my ignore list. Then try and figure out what he said from everyone elses comments about it.
Matticon.
I have already done that, myself. Unfortunately it's not too hard to figure out what he says.
Since I've hit ignore, he's apparently tried to bribe Ady into a credit for his wonderful suggestions, and then promptly suggested moving the carbon freezing chamber location to the Executor.
Now if everyone else will just hit ignore, or just not comment, this game gets much more rewarding.
Oh, I thought when you hit ignore it blocks all the replies with quotes as well.
'fraid not. Actually I wasn't sure how it worked, I had never ignored anyone before. I certainly don't mind many of the ideas or suggestions presented on this thread, even off the wall ones, or any attempt at mock-ups, etc, even when I do not agree with them personally. It's Ady's job to choose which ideas are good or bad, or fit within the vision that is ESB-R. Throw those ideas out and see what sticks. But you do have the responsibility to think those ideas through first. Obviously early on there were plenty of ideas and mistakes to fix, but now it has been so thoroughly dissected that most ideas now discussed are minor tweaks, matte lines, minor effects, and so on while we wait for Ady to build his models.
Janskreet came in late (not a crime) skipped over hundreds of pages of posts and seemingly started throwing out random stuff previously covered. (Again. not a crime but certainly lazy) Janskreet has desperately been trying anything ever since, and early on I considered it trolling, and I wasn't alone. That obviously is not the case, but I felt it necessary for my own sanity, to make the leap, break my streak, and for once hit the ignore button.
I'm certain I am not alone, and someone out there probably ignores me, as well. Heck, this post alone might earn me one or two.
And now back to our regular scheduled programming.

For the first time ever, on any board, I am now hitting 'ignore'.
Sigh.

ihnradio said: He told us that he has seen your ANH:R DVD, and he and Dave Filoni watched it, along with a some people at Lucasfilm. And they are following your ESB:R.Am I the only one worried by this?
Probably. I can guarantee George knows damn well ANH-R exists. Lucasfilm lawyers are all over people who make money on his product, and there are people who do nothing but scour the internet for violators. (Waves hi to the lucasfilm guy reading this)
And as long as no profit is made and the brand of Star Wars is not injured in any way, he will allow certain things to happen, like the 501st, with whom he actually has a very good relationship with.
The only thing that could possibly happen is that it becomes so huge it would hurt any potential blu-ray sales. Not likely, seeing as so many of my Star Wars friends still do not know about ANH-R. Did the Phanton Edit cause problems? Darth Sidious'? Nah.
Ady has no worries as long as he makes no-zero-nada-zilch money from this endeavor. If he hasn't been contacted by now, and I seriously doubt he will be as long as he continues just as he has before.
Loved the trailer. Loved the color correction, and really loved the shot of Cloud City. For those who have yet to see it, there's not really a lot of spoilers I could talk about, it's really a mostly classically structured trailer with just a hint of the kind of tweaks Ady is doing.
Great job Ady. Thanks for the look.
I donated so that Ady has the money to do the project the way he needs to. I did not pay for, nor should anyone else, a clip. The preview clip is a thank you for donating. If you donate money you cannot afford to watch a clip that will be available for free later on, you're an idiot.
That said, I like the new clip. Yoda looks pretty cool, good work with him. Enlarging Obi-Wan does work, although I wonder if he'd he better off a little bit more in front of the nose of the ship, in that big empty spot. That way he can be a bit smaller, too, if the resolution is a problem. Also, when Obi-Wan appears the whole bog behind Yoda left lights up. I'm not keen on that, but it's certainly not a deal-breaker.
When Cloud City is revealed, there is a pod car flying away from it towards us. We then cut to the SE shot following a pod car flying through the city, almost giving a continuity problem as it feels as if they should be the same vehicle. Fortunately the shot is a temp, and the city looks very good in the shot.
Keep going Ady. Awesome work.
Sent some $ your way Ady. Hopefully enough of us do this so that you can get what you need.
No doubt that officer is indeed a Navy Captain, hastily promoted from Captain of his own vessel to serve on Executor (the Imprial flagship) due to the power vacuum in the chain of command created by Vader's habit of strangling everyone. If I recall my boyscout days, an officer with the rank of 'Captain' serving on a ship he is not the captain of, would be addressed as 'Commodore' (I think).
(An army or marine captain aboard a ship would be addressed as 'Major,' a rank higher than they hold, to avoid confusion with the ship captain as well).
The rank of Commodore has been in and out of favor in the US for 100 years. Commodores were senior U.S. Navy Captains who commanded squadrons of more than one vessel or functional air wings or air groups that were not part of a carrier air wing or air group. Now doesn't that sound military. There was so much confusion regarding Captains of certain types of squadrons that held the temporary title of Commodore that it was dropped again in only a few months to the current rank of Rear Admiral. However, the Navy still uses it as a title for those in charge of groups of ships or submarines organized into squadrons, air wings or air groups of aviation squadrons.
In the Royal Navy, it is above Captain and below Rear Admiral.
However, any officer in command of a ship is addressed as Captain. For example, a Lt would command a WWII p.t. boat, but be addressed as Captain. A flag officer (Admiral, or other) aboard a ship would still have a Captain in charge of the ship, and all orders and the chain of command would flow through the Captain, as a courtesy to him.
And I'm sure I missed something.

Really? Compare to the length that Luke has to climb to get to the gun turret in ANH.
True. Of course, we've all seen the attempts at correlating outside and inside dimensions and the complete failure to be able to come up with a workable solution, but still this is a fixable element in this circumstance.
The only changes I would make that I have not seen mentioned yet are:
the scale of the Millenium Falcon going into the asteroid cave and coming out is different,
and
when Lando goes up to rescue Luke he travels up what seems like 15 feet of interior, and through three hatches. Take out the first hatch. It screws up the scale of the Falcon.
If these were mentioned at all, I missed it, and I apologize.
