Yeah, the Glove of Darth Vader was some of the first EU and written for kids. And was awful. It never ceases to amaze me that they try to fit it into the canon.

Couldn't Vader just walk the next 20 or so feet and use the door on the right of the shot?
He'd have to cut through the wall he had Obi-Wan backed up to. :-P

I like the shots and ideas, but the quality is pretty bad. Maybe as small elements somewhere, but unless someone can scale it up to 720p (the presumed res of RotJ:R) and it not be obvious, they might not be usable.
What is needed to to up the size of something like that?
A high definition copy of the Ewok movies, which don't exist (and would be an abomination if they got a full restoration and the OUT didn't). Maybe it could be done with sharpening filters, but I'm not sure zooming in on those images could be salvaged from their already fuzzy and compressed 480p source.

The last few times I've watched the movie, I kind of hoped for something like this. I just assume that he started cutting while we weren't looking.
Except it's completely pointless. Why would Vader destroy the door? Letting the Falcon escape was part of the plan. It's a trap remember?
Seriously, I forget that every time. Of course, the TIEs could the only part of "letting them go", now that they were away, might as well put that tracking device to good use! *shrug*

I love the hologram idea for the Death Star conference room. Great idea.
Angel, great work on the hanger shots. Not wild about what you did with the shots with Tarkin and Leia. Something about the lighting bugs me.
Anywho, here is my contribution from the Axia Edition list of ideas. Vader has a lightsaber, no silly door would stop him.

My wife does the peanut butter trick. I used to make fun of her, but by golly, it seems to work!
Old school Angel. The bottom one was one of the first mockups, a teaser of what was to come.
Zombie is too busy trying to figure out how Lucasfilm thinks to read threads! Let him be! ;-)
That would be amazing to hear those stories! Piett has become one of my favorite underused characters in recent years!
He's got a lot of good stuff for visualization. I'm going to try to contact him to see if I can't hotlink these pictures.
UPDATE: Because he's no longer taking commissions, he took off all of his contact info. I'm going to upload the pictures to my Photobucket account with links to him.

Welcome to the forum, Stampede. Its good to have members here from outside the USA. Its give us another perspective on things.
And here I thought the Brits wanted OUR perspective, not the other way around! ;-)
I like it, added to the list.

Even though its not on the Wishlist thread, I'm adding it to the wishlist. Great mockup savmagoet!
Oh, THX 005 :)
I guess there no need to post it on the OT.com whishlist tread anymore?
You can if you want. Just to have it all in one place if anyone finds the wishlist and wants to see us all argue about it. ;-)

I just discovered that the article existed and now its gone? I was thinking of updating it with how the petition went and now its dedicated to fan edits.

Well they're good in that you do get shit early. And their sales make said shit dirt cheap.
edit: TROUBLE IN PARADISE?!? A PARODY TITLE CARD WITH SHOCKING NEWS!!
Every Post Title should be something like this. I love how every Japanese DBZ title gives away what's going to happen.
THE FIGHT FINISHES! GOKU FINALLY BLASTS FREIZA TO A MILLION PIECES!!!!
I wonder what happens in this one...
Welcome to the forum. I'm always awed by how many people from how many different backgrounds were affected by Star Wars growing up. It truly is something universal.
What repeated footage from TF1? Close up of OP's head or something? Just curious.

Whoa! the second is really close to the final piece.
I wouldnt like seeing the executor from the top all the time. but id like to see him all at once. It feels cheap having its engines off frame. ( an other Marvel rule)
-Angel
I think it helps it feel like its so big that they couldn't fit it all in frame. After watching the bonus features for Trek 09, they said that's what they did with the first shot of the new Enterprise, deliberately made it not fit into frame so it would seem even bigger (than the ridiculous scaling they already gave it, but that's not an issue here).
How far away would the camera have to be (relatively) to get the entire ship in frame? ;-)
doubleopost!!!
I love that Angel can do 3D now.
Replacing all of them with a new puppet using the best features of all of them. :-D
Yet here Anthony is, Twittering like mad about how awesome Star Wars in Concert is and how cool it is to talk to fans. Odd.

And for those who interested,
Here is the size changes.
-Angel
Nice that we can have continuity and it be a bit bigger. It seems like a pretty model to only use in one shot and for it to be so tiny. :-)
