Whenever I see that Ganamae has commented on this thread, I'm always afraid that its going to be some cryptic "You don't have to worry about that issue, mwhahaha" comment.
Thanks for not being snooty about having the workprint, Gan!
Well, I am not really at liberty to discuss the work print, if I did then Adywan would personally come to Norway and strangle me I guess...he has my address :o
It would also be sort of bad for a Star war nut like me to be tossed out of here and never get any info about whats up and whats not when it comes to Adywans revisited projects, like what he's doing so I don't want to rock the boat.
Sure, It would be cool to post images and clips from the wp...or even talk about the changes, but I would only do so if I was given permission to do so... who wouldn't? :) but alas nay, it must remain hidden until Mr. A deems it right to do otherwise.
Thanks for the nice comment m8 !:D
I wouldn't expect anyone to post pictures and clips, but I'm sure you're just sitting there ready to explode when someone brings up something. :-D

Incredible point, Bingo!
I quickly flipped the ship:
The ship is more centered than I realized, so I think my argument has been negated by myself.

In matter of fact the whole matte needs flipping. Because now the land will be in the wrong place aswell.
crap
-Angel
No, the land is fine. It;s just the x-wing that needs fixing
Would that not throw off the balance in the shot? As it stands, it looks like the ship came from camera right and the stationary camera has the ship on the far left. If we flip just the ship, it looks like the ship came a few feet from camera left and crashed down immediately. Maybe that's just me. I'd have to see it to make a real judgment.

Stop it Angel! You're giving Ady more work to do! That's the last thing he needs!
:-p
My thoughts exactly. If only someone else could make a new matte for him, perhaps as penance.
In finding a screenshot to show that Angel's ray of light wouldn't be possible, I also was reminded of another one of my gripes.
While the cockpit keeps rocking back and forth at the same rate, the outside seems to cut suddenly from the top frame to the bottom, where it continues until it hits the water.
Fixing it could be as easy as fading from the top to the bottom frame really fast, or reconfiguring the scene as follows:
Luke starts the landing sequence, shot of R2, moved beginning of cockpit, Luke concerned, continuing cockpit shot to crash.
I'm sure Ady has already fixed it though. ;-)

Couldn't it be possible to move Jabba's Palace somewhere else (another planet)? Change a few backgrounds and change a few lines and it could easily be pulled off.
I agree that Tatooine is overused.
Moving Jabba's Palace to another conveniently covered-in-sand planet would be pointless. Besides, we'd lose one of my favorite exchanges in the movie:
"I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of big dark blur, I see a big light blur."
"There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know."
"You're gonna die here, you know. Convenient."
I love how we can go on and on about how to fix something, and not only was Ady aware of it, he fixed it already. I'm all for incorporating Angel's work, especially for the added detail he gets out of the shots.
I'm sensing the Visual Comparison for ESB is going to make the ANH one look like something-that's-not-as-impressive. Please tell me you've started already.

Don't take this the wrong way ImperialFighter, but you sure do use a lot of bold and underlining and italics in your posts. Perhaps it's your thing, like DAYV's all-caps or negative-1's spacing, but maybe just a tad less emphasis? Just something to consider.
He likes to stress certain elements. When he sends you 12 emails of tweaks to do on exact frames from a movie, you become grateful for them.

I still don't get what you are saying, it's more of an "anything the prequels did is bad, anything the OT did was good" mentality, there was nothing wrong with Yoda's speech, it suits his character. Who are any of us to say how he should speak anyway?
Because there's no way he could speak like he does in the PT as a simple quirk, he would only be able to do that with an actual, concious effort. "Around the survivors, a perimeter create", or "that you are right, I hope".
That's ridicuous, and just more of the flanderization various characters got in the PT. Palpatine has a tendency to cackle in a sinister manner in ROTJ? Well now come ROTS he never stops laughing and cackling like an idiot. Yoda sometimes says his sentences in the wrong order? Well now in the PT every line is like that, even lines he couldn't possibly have done without purposely thinking about them first.
I agree with you. How many lines in the OT have Yoda speaking backwards? A handful? I always thought they were something to do with him being alone for so long, or part of his test for Luke. Then the prequels it looks like he SANED up for Luke. Ridiculous.
Hard/impossible to fix, but ridiculous.

If you were a gangster bent on hiding from the authorities, wouldn't a smokestack belching noxious clouds be a little noticeable?
Heck, put a strung up droid like the one in the droid workshop on the path. Scare the crap out of 3PO.
I doubt he's hiding in plain sight like that. Everyone knows he's there. Unless we can somehow make it known to the audience that its supposed to be secret...
Maybe not. ;-)

AOTC should be made to be more like ESB, not the other way around.
Absolutely! That is exactly what it sounds like Ady will do for AOTCR. And I absolutely agree with that particular sentiment.
Please, Ep2R. I very sincerely doubt the prequels will be keeping their names. And AOTCR is a mouthful, no?

I'm also for taking the extended podrace scenes on the TPM DVD and cutting some of them into the film cut and then shortening the podrace to two laps by taking some existing scenes out. For instance, there's a cool shot of Anakin on the deleted scene where one of his engines comes off and his pod starts spinning but he keeps his cool and hooks it back up. Shows he has the skills.
If I remember correctly, that bit where Anakin is spinning was a deleted scene as far as the Theatrical goes, but on the DVD George added it into the film. Having said that, I hate that bit. That magnetic tool is lame.
shanerjedi said:
Maybe replace those Tusken's with Aayla Secura?(if that could be done).
If there was another Jedi on Tatooine, wouldn't she be helping her fellow Jedi out?
Ah dammit. I hate these prequel names. I was thinking of that bounty hunter with the pale skin. The woman with the big guns.
The girl who is standing around during the podrace and Lucas swore up and down was going to play a major role in Episode 2? I'd rather have her deleted, and while corny, Tuskens shooting at the race for giggles makes more sense than an obvious assassin take pot shots at pod racers.
Seriously guys, can we just drop it? Please? Just Ignore one another and be done with it. Even if people were suggesting things, they'd be lost in the middle of this banter.
Please.
It was Venal who did those.

I'm gonna write up a full review soon....just thought i'd throw that in there. ;)
Please don't be afraid to include "spoilers" or details of what's changed, because some of us are sitting here and have no idea what's been changed that you would be commenting on.
HE'S NOT BA! He stands around, at best. Putting him in the space battle is pointless and confusing. Who's side is he fighting on? How would we know without dialog? Where would we find such dialog?
That they're false. Thank the maker.
Ghost said:
About the 005 page, are you guys for the Boba Fett changes? (the having him take the plans to the rebels). It could work. I don't know how you would make the new scenes. It would take him out of the SB battle, therefore shortning it. How would you kill him off, the Falcon?
Personally, I'm for the complete removal of Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi. He does nothing, serves no purpose, and him dying only upsets people. Him taking the plans to Rebels is a nice idea, but I don't think its possible or has a point. Having him stand around Jabba's Palace to leave before anything happens and have conversations with characters who only give speeches just won't work with existing footage. Anything else will look like a bad fan film.
Ghost said:
Thanks TV's Frink. I want to see some ideas and mockups I might of missed.

Once upon a time, I used to look forward to reading this thread...
I think I've added one thing to the list in the last couple weeks. And I'm not sure it was even serious (having grandstands at the Pit of Carkoon/moving the Sarlacc to the old Mos Espa Speedway).

Im strongly suspecting that was my origanal template used there. A load of e-bay sellers used it after i uploaded it here. Although you can get the backing cards in high rez on the net if u know where to look. No worries.
Thin pack though double 0?
Do you still have me rapidshare link for the concept art?
I found the template I used at the Forgotten Force Ultimate Resource Guide. It's pretty low res, which is why I wanted to start again. Do you have templates at a higher res?
Yes, originally my ANHR was in a thin pack (they were cheap and take up less space on my shelf), so I figured there was some demand there. Then I got a 4 DVD box and put all 4 versions in one box (DVD9, DVD5, PURIST, XVID).
I don't still have it, its floating around on the ESB & ROTJ Thread I believe.

That highlights the problem with TPM; it's structured around the wrong character - Padme. The blockade of Naboo should just be a MacGuffin to get the events in motion and lead to them meeting Anakin, which it does, but it becomes the actual focus of the story and the goal of the characters. Anakin is secondary, when he should be the focus. Instead we get an entire movie wasted on his introduction, a fatal flaw.
I don't always agree with DV, but THIS is so true.
I even think this is THE biggest problem with TPM. The MacGuffin is usualy the thing the characters care about but the audience not. In TPM we, the audience, are suppose to care about taxation and blocus of Naboo while we just want to know what the characters feel and think. We only have "I'm cold" and "I sens much fear in you" (notice how Yoda needs to explain how Anakin is feeling. It's not a good thing when you need to tell the audience what you could have shown. An now I'm waiting for the Ric Olié post.)
I always agree with DV, and agree that is true. And you're right, TMBTM, being told what should be shown through character action is really very poor.
You would. :-P
