Its the same to me :P

Maybe a subwoofer channel to it

 

-Angel

Which sounds the same?  GOUT/DVD or DVD/REVISIT?

Ady, I read (again) that Vader's voice was enhanced from the GOUT to the DVD release to make it sound more like the rest of the saga, and I remember you saying that you further enhanced it.  Any chance of you (or anyone) throwing together a "side-by-side" audio comparison?

As the simple story of this movie says that the Primes in heaven summoned Sam to tell him that he was his destiny. Thats all :P

One heaven? two heavens? who cares? is something that we cant prove or understand yet so why bother? :)

 

-Angel

He had to die to fulfill his destiny about not dying?  What is this, the last Harry Potter book?

I tease you, Angel, you know this.

vaderios said:

Why is that? Only humans can have heaven or hell? The movie convinced you that Robots have "soul" and feelings, so why not?

 

-Angel

Yes, but why did SAM go to Robot Heaven?  Does everyone go to Robot Heaven when they die in the Bayverse (answer: probably, because that's AWESOME)?  But you can't tell me the "don't go towards the light, your work is not done" hasn't been overplayed.

Seriously, Robot Heaven?  I wish there was a way to cut that out.

I would LOVE to see an edit of a Michael Bay movie that speeds up to normal all the slow-mo, just to see how much his films are padded out by that.  I may buy more MB movies just to do that.  And have a "Michael Bay Cliche Count" running at the bottom of the screen with Explosions, Slow Mo, Spinning Camera, etc.  That may be just me though.

Content-wise, it should be exactly like the DVD version.  40 minutes extra pod race, etc. ;-)

You know, I was going to watch TPM soon.  Too bad I won't be able to get over the pink now that I've seen the split screen! ;-P

The ESB:R Credits are now closed.  Thank you for participating.  Every person who posted on the thread is in there, with everyone who PMed me their real names.

I would still like to see something along the line of Piett shaking hands with one of the rebel generals at the teddy bear picnic to signify a true ending where the Empire COULD become a new republic.  Whether than means showing Piett escape, or having him (A) fire at the shield generator, which destroys it, then (B) rams the Executor into the DS, which takes out enough guns that the fighters have a clear path ahead to get into it.  In fact, how crazy would it be to see 2 TIE interceptors escorting the Falcon to the reactor (on orders from Piett)?

It would explain why the interceptor only fires at the Falcon ONCE!  LOL

Love the ideas.  It may be too radical to convey, but I still get chills when I think about Piett using the Executor against the Empire.

I'm guessing you're not at liberty to give us a peek :p

I could, but then I'd have to take you to Anchorhead and have your memory erased :) So a bit of a waste of time showing you it !!

Just checked out your site(s).  Really good work!  You going to let Ady borrow your physical TIE model? ;-)

Wow, that's quite a lot. :O

That's just the list of usernames who gave me their real names.  I have literally SIX TIMES that many names in total.

Just a reminder.  I only have 53 names!

 How does this compare with ANH:R?

OK, compared to ANH:R's few names, its a huge number, but I figured since more people know about this project it would be a bit more popular.  I don't even have a few of the regular posters.

Even you, Sluggo! (I do know your name, I just didn't want to be presumptuous if you didn't want it in there.)

Here is the list of usernames I have real names for:

I'll donate some more, but I'd like an exclusive preview for the donors, like the longer 8 min or preview he did for ANH:R, sure it would spoil some of us, that don't mind being spoiled a bit. We'd also have the agreement to not post it anywhere online.

A couple months ago people were whining because it seemed like Ady was trying to bribe people to donate.  Now we have people trying to make Ady bribe them to make them donate?  This place is crazy!

Here's my take on it up through the first season of TSCC (no season 2 or TS on here yet).

There's no time travel in TS, but T-800s are created earlier thanks to all the meddling in the timeline.

The email address in his sig is for his Paypal.  Make sure you get all the "uk" stuff, or it goes to some random lady if I remember right!

Ady, I know I've said this before, but it can't be said enough:

You are a crazy person.  Absolutely crazy.

And I love it!

Most video software that I've worked with has some kind of color balance option.  I used the trial version of the consumer version of Sony Vegas to make my Lando Sacrifice video, and just with some sliders I made it look worlds better.

Compare this with another cut.  It's not hard to do once you find the option.  Slide the sliders till it looks the way you want!  You may have to do each shot seperately, but you only have to do it frame by frame with mattes or in Photoshop if its a really bad source.

That's kind of a preview!  Look at all the changes!

Lighting!  Consistency!  RED LASERS!

The next shot, for those who don't remember:

-Overly bright/colorful laser blasts. Just because they are in the PT like that doesn't mean they work in the OT. Consistency for the sake of consistency is not always the best idea. 

I believe that the laser blasts were all sourced from the best looking laser blasts in ANH, for consistency.  And I say that consistency for the sake of consistency is the best thing about these edits!

DarthBo said:

wonderful :-)

That is a huge improvement, but (don't you hate that word), unless I'm seeing this wrong, shouldn't there be less shadow on the turret? Judging by the snow the sun should be somewhere left of your (the viewer's) head. Yet here the background's sun is still behind the turret instead of in front, though this time on the correct (left) side.

He's not going to be able to fix the sun direction in most of the wrong shots during the battle, why not start messing with the sun right at the beginning?  LOL

I did mention that many of the shots in the trailer either didn't have some FX layers enabled to save rendering time or were unfinished. the trench being one of them.

Finished trench:

Looks great, always nice to have another preview.  You can't resist just saying "trust me", can you?  ;-)

Oldfan said:

I think I remember reading a while back that Adywan said the grain would not be static on the final release - something to do with rendering the grain , and he just didn't do that for the trailer.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong on that though.

He did indeed say that.  Saves time to render when he doesn't do the motion grain.

I dont use twitter because Oprah endorses it LOL. Oprah has more power than the president hell she got him elected.

That's kind of weird.  She also endorses books, do you ever read?  LOL

@doubleofive on Twitter myself.  Didn't know Ady was on there.

adywan said:

Well in the past few weeks i have replied to just over 30 requests for download links, from both here and ones sent directly to my email address and out of those only 2 have bothered replying with a thanks. So from now on i WILL NOT be replying to any requests for links. I also won't be sending out any more physical copies either because i've sent out hundreds already and i have to put a stop to it sometime or i'll be bankrupt. lol

That's really sad.  Really.
