1 of the things that bothered me,and I am sure it is pretty trivial compared to some of the other suggestions here,but my little boy and I just finished watching all 6 movies LOL and the thing that always got me from ESB is this(on top of some of the other examples already mentioned),when Luke just escapes from his Speeder and the Imperial Walker steps on it,it sure does NOT do much damage,in my opinion that Walker should just totally crush that Speeder,but it only crushes the canopy,not very realistic to me.

The Walker should out weigh that Speeder big time.

like I said pretty trivial,but it is always an attention getter for me.

I know its been mentioned, and I'm sure Ady has looked to see what he can do.  You're not alone!

I believe this shot is very powerful. Pity that it doesnt have the necessary strength to pop up.

Nice light reflections Angel!

Amazing work with Windu the last few pages!  Love it all!

The glares between Windu and Anakin now have meaning, instead of him just being upset at Anakin for being a whiny baby!

This is some kind of personal thing, and it will affect the story IN A HUGE WAY... It mainly affects ROTJ, but there is one little scene here.

Dont make Luke and Leia Brother and Sister... It just feels forced and stupid. It makes no sense that nobody ever felt the force in her, why obi-wan never even cared about her rescue on A New Hope, why nor yoda nor obi-wan even cared training her AT THE SAME TIME as Luke. And it breaks that tension between Han-Leia-Luke, without really giving anything to the story.

It wouldnt be that hard to edit from ROTJ, the biggest change would be how to make luke get angry with vader... But any other time is just cutting dialogue.

In ESB youll have to cut down the "No, there is another" (thats why im posting this here first and not waiting untill ROTJ:R)

People are already talking about it on the Wishlist.

-Three Pruneface aliens (I totally had that toy) in the Rebellion

The first time I saw him (basically when I got the toy, as I never noticed him in the movie until afterwards), I thought 'he must be a bad guy.' But no, he's a good guy! Haha. Another example of deceptive appearances. It's a shame we didn't see him with the Endor strike team, cuz that's where he was going, based on the camouflage duds.

 U talkin about the alien guy who was co pilot with lando?

As a completely non-OT:R subject but related to Ady's mock-up, I would also suggest making Mace the only Jedi to confront Palpy.  This may be a nightmare to edit (both visually and auditory), but if pulled off would add a lot to Mason J. Windu's character.  Just something to file away until 2019....

i will be doing that.

Cool, saves all of those Jedi from dying in the dumbest way imaginable.

Weird that we're actually getting more information about Ep3R (I'm doubting the original names will be kept) than ESBR today... ;-)

Another thing with the way the clip ends - It sort of has the possibility of Luke knowing the probe is there, telling Han about it. Then he wants to go check it out, but gets rudely interupted by the Wampa, etc.

I like it, and think it would work even better if you inserted the probe droid leaving after he gets dragged away by the Wampa.  Not sure if its necessary, but someone can use it!

adywan said:

i made a mock-up (very quick one)of the Revisited PT sabers.

Now that's a preview for something a LONG way away!  LOL

Enigmas said:

This is a genuine question to the forum at large: Does a lightsaber have a pointy tip or a rounded tip?

A vast majority of shots "point" (sorry) to rounded.  If I recall correctly, only RotS and The Clone Wars have pointed tips, and only then in random close ups.

Exactly.  You shouldn't HAVE to justify things that happen in a prequel.  You already established what happened, just show it to us.  Changing things makes it a reboot.

obi-wan got anakins saber

Sluggo said:

Obi-wan stopping to pick up Anakin's saber had to be filmed in pick-up shots because Lucas forgot all about it and wrote it in at the last minute.  And no attempt to make the scene even match the original trilogy, either.

Only because someone reminded Lucas well after the filming was done.

 The 83 pic from the art of Starwars was tinkered with to include the man himself...

Looks more like the cover there is the photoshop.  3PO is straight on and looks like one of the publicity shots from Tunisia.  Maybe the Japanese hate George?

Actually there is no jump cut when the gun appears. What's happened is that they speeded up the film to make the gun come out faster. I have checked this shot frame by frame and there are no missing frames. What looks unnatural to the eye is that because the shot was originally slower there is no motion blur on the gun when there should be.

Interesting! I always thought maybe it was stop-motion animated, for whatever reason there would be for doing such a thing. Is there a way of making it slower without actually making it slower, if you know what I mean?

As for the explosion immediately after, could some extra little explosion or something help to hide some of the hidden frames?

I also agree about the PT sabers. To me, there's a little too much sharp separation of white and color, and why would they have sharp tips like a real sword? They're just beams of energy. I dunno, I still think the ones in ESB are the best.

that's one part i can't agree with the pt lightsabers are fine the way they are. the only thing that needs to be changed in windu's lightsaber color.

the ot lightsabers had to be re rotocoped because in each film, there was never any cosistency with the blades (anh having thin lightsaber, and rotj having fat sabers)

But lightsabers that are pointy on the end sometimes?  That at least needs to be fixed.

ALSO: Ady put a time limit on adding your real name to the credits.  You have until July 1 to PM me your name or it will default to your screenname only.  I have 321 screennames and 43 of them have real names to go with them.

I agree, love you two, but you don't seem to get around much. ;-)

I like just having the one font, it keeps everything legible.

BarBar Jinkx said:

By Pad out don't you mean replace LOL ;-)

By "replace", don't you mean "make exist something that's not there at all in the theatrical version"?

If Lucas had hired just one person half as invested in the OT as we are, the prequels would be so much better for it.  Just someone to say "Obi-wan said that Yoda trained him" or "Leia remembers her mother" or "Obi-wan kind of needs Anakin's lightsaber".

Davnes007 said:

Well, anyway...nobody gets the bonus points.

This is what I did...and it's gonna stupidly simple.

All I did was Chroma-Key the green of Luke's saber, and has a pure blue 'layer' under the main video. Voila! Instant blue saber...or red...or any other color you want. :)

You green-screened his saber?!  That's awesome!  It worked really well for just doing that!

fishmanlee said:

i was wondering if there should/could be differences in the sabers lazer sizes like broadsword size rapier size and so on

I'm not sure on either should/could.  Really doesn't make much difference, as broadswords are heavier by nature than rapiers, but lightsaber blades are theoretically weightless.  You could try to thicken or thin them all day, but it wouldn't make a difference except to be another thing to worry about keeping consistant.

If there is ever proof the idea for Jar Jar wasn't made up over the weekend in the late 90's by one of George's kids, I will eat my shoe.

vaderios said:

I can think a few.

1.Change hue saturation and then mask the saber to get the saber.

2.Play with the color channels.(thats why all the scene has a weird blue something)

3.Use LS maker (lol?)

4.Nothing from above.

 

-Angel

Hue saturation, that's the word I was looking for!

Did you re-color balance the area of the saber to remove the yellow leaving just the blue?

Where have you been, this house is a mess lol

Just curious, because I forgot, what programs/hardware do you need to burn images onto a disk, I know about the "disk burners" but I'm confused. I really want adys disk art!

For burning images onto a disc, you need a LightScribe drive, or something like it.  Its a special disc burner that burns the data on normal or special discs, then you can flip over the special disc and burn a B&W image on the other side.  Most people around here just print out an image on an Avery label or whatever and stick it on there.  Being paranoid, I heard that the stickers can mess up the data over time, so I didn't even write on my DVD-9s of ANHR!

I always use printable discs and my Epson printer will print directly on the disc in photo quality

I forgot about those.  Never used one.  Sounds awesome though!

I was going off of this phrase.
