It's R2-D2. The bolt is right behind him.
Here's my GOUT/DVD/REV comparison on the two shots that have GOUT to compare to:
And notice this:
Those the same buildings in the same positions as when they arrived in Revisited. Blessed Continuity!
bkev said:Here's a funny idea I had... what if the celebrations were before the funeral? I think it might work, given the proper editing. Make it so that it's almost as if the ghosts of the three Jedi are reminding him that he has a duty to dispose of Vader's remains. Also, it would feel darker IMO. Besides, Luke seems the type who would skip out on the celebration for at least awhile for some alone time. That is, if the teddybear parade were used instead of the world celebrations - I'm in the minority, but I prefer that to the celebrations (not the music mind you, the celebration).
I saw you commented that on my YouTube. It's an interesting idea, but I think the funeral is the closure on Darth Vader with the burning of the suit. If it came AFTER the closure on Anakin being a redeemed Force Ghost, I think it would be confusing. I mean, maybe we could give it a shot, but I'm not sure.
Bingowings said:ben_danger said:i guess maybe the strap could have snapped, and when han falls out of the carbonite in ROTJ, it could be added and just fall on the floor perhaps.
Perhaps in ROTJ:R Ady could just show the strap still stuck in the Carbonite when Han falls out.
I believe Ady has said that his plan is to add the strap to RotJ, no worries.
Those screenshots on there would look great on DVD covers.....
I never heard the tractor beam line until the SE because the copy of Star Wars I grew up with was a VHS copy of the CES Videodisc (I wish I still had it, I'm sure it was really high quality, HA).
Mielr said:SilverWook said:Holy crap! I've never noticed that before! I've been too busy trying to read that screen all these years. Is that from Empire or Jedi? Although it would make sense if they simply recycled that shot for Jedi...
Yeah, it's from Empire but I wouldn't be surprised if they used it for Jedi, too.
Actually, that's from Jedi. You can tell because its not blue. And I screenshot it.
Gaffer Tape said:Well, hot damn, doubleofive! That new lighting scheme really did the trick! The video looks a hundred times better this time around!
I took the lamp shade off the lamp I'd been using before, and I turned on one light of the lamp tree to my left, diffusing it with wax paper and aiming it slightly toward the ceiling, and I think it turned out just great!
Awesome! And to think I just pulled that idea out of my hindquarters. LOL
My first thought when I saw the vaderios' Jabba's Palace matte was "I hope someone asked for a higher resolution!" And you did. And I was pleased.
Gaffer Tape said:Heh, lighting's the one thing that's always pissed me off. I've taken film directing, film editing, and film production classes, know the name and function of pretty much every professional lighting instrument and how to work them and set them up and have had plenty experience doing so, but for some reason, I've never quite been able to figure out how to make a decent lighting scheme.
That's exactly my story also, though on a much smaller scale. Maybe we should combine our fuzzy knowledge of things into one coherent knowledge!
Gaffer Tape said:Creaky chairs, hmm? So that's what this demographic likes. I guess my next video, instead of sampling music from whatever I'm reviewing, I'll just loop that chair creak over and over again. ^_~
Ugh, the only thing that annoys me is how poor the video quality seems. You spend $350 or so on a camera... well, I don't expect the kind of quality the cameras I used in college had, but I expect something, damnit! Maybe I should experiment with different lighting schemes.
But the weirdest thing is that all of you OT people now know what I look and sound like. Yeah, as hard as it is to believe, I don't look like my avatar Princess Leia in the least (and I might have been able to keep up the illusion had I not put us side by side in the video, d'oh!). There goes my anonymity. Well, there's only one thing for it: all of you have to die. Sorry 'bout that.
Seriously, if you can think of more problems with good movies, keep the reviews coming. I would, however, try some different lighting. I think that was the problem with the last one's video quality. Maybe have a desklamp shining at you from opposite the main light you were using? Diffuse it with some wax/tissue paper or something, you'll be set. Whatever you do, don't hold a flashlight under your chin and shine it upwards. Unless you're telling a ghost story, of course. :-D
Sevb32 said:Guess I'll become a Yes-man.
It's not that we're all supporting things just because Ady says that's the way it will be; we're moving on because that's the way he said it will be. "Yes-men" typically work for those who won't hear other opinions, while Ady has proven time and time again that he does care what we think. What he doesn't care for is people harping on the same thing over and over again.
I love Davnes' hologram. I really do and I think that something like it would be great in the movie, even if it is unnecessary. Does it belong in Revisited? Apparently not. But anyone can work with Davnes to help him finish it up and people can insert into their own versions. It's a fan edit we're complaining about here. Ady has no more power than any of us to change the movie, he just already has his name out there.
Like others have said before me (including Adywan and Davnes), its time to move on everybody.
OFF TOPIC: Thanks for the kind remarks about my new avatar. I made it a while back and completely forgot about it until this morning. :-D
ChainsawAsh said:That's all well and good, but you're starting to beat a dead horse now. This is beginning to remind me of the blue/grey TIE fighter debate.
And the green AT-AT laser debate. And the Flipper debate. And the Snowflake debate. ;-)
Again, we cross paths Ady!
Molly said:How about showing the reflected lights, and just that?
What "reflected lights" are you guys talking about? Their faces already glow blue...
Vaderisnothayden said:I'd rate him less than 0. Hayden as Anakin is some of the worst casting in the history of film.
This just in: vaderisnothayden doesn't think Hayden was a good Vader. Film at 11.
I tease. :-D
Nice video, Gaffer! It must be nice to be able to get your thoughts out like that in an audio/visual medium.
adywan said:doubleofive said:Speaking of Force Ghost Obi-Wan, what did you decide about this scene
i've fixed the size problem and have him standing behind the stump and at a more realistic size.
Awesome. I can't wait to see it.
Speaking of Force Ghost Obi-Wan, what did you decide about this scene
where Obi-Wan is only a couple feet tall and floaty? Did you move him behind the stump, making him standing really far away from Luke?
"Speak up, I can't hear you back here!"
I have no problem with mini-Obi-Wan. It just makes his close ups really funny to me.
"I'm disappointed that I'm small"
topdawg193 said:adywan said:oh yeh. i've also added the "jedi ghost" glow to the scene where Obi-Wan appears to Luke on Hoth.
Ah, great!
I was wondering, what 'style' of Force Ghost is appearing in the 'Revisited' saga? In ROTJ, the force ghosts that appear there (Obi-Wan on Dagobah, Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin on Endor) are all quite consistent; overall blue glow/hue, a shimmering frame, and transparrent.
But in ESB, the Force Ghost design seemed inconsistent - on Hoth, Obi-Wan looked practically like his living self, but slightly transparrent, while on Endor he had a thick blue glowing line around his frame (similar to the blue atmosphere line around the planets).
I personally always thought that the ROTJ Force Ghost appearance was the definitive one - it was certainly the most consistent, and the most ghost-like to my eyes, as well.
OK, I never noticed the difference, so I looked them up. Being me, I had to share (GOUT on top, DVD on bottom, from WG's Split Screen):
The shot Ady is referring to. Ignore the Dreaded Blue, of course.
The other scene from ESB that he's trying to match. Notice out the DVD actually looks like its trying to match Return of the Jedi because of the Dreaded Blue.
Force Ghost Obi-Wan from Return of the Jedi. Notice how the DVD version takes away the Dreaded Blue in this scene. Why?
The last time we see Obi-Wan. Ignore the Dreaded Hayden.
So we have different shades of blue, no shade of blue, different levels of transparency, different levels of glow, basically a huge mess. And these are just random frames, I'm sure from shot to shot in a scene Obi-Wan is different.
adywan said:well i finally finished all the wampa cave shots today (minus the wampa of course). i've managed to fix the continuity errors of Luke's legs being spread apart one minute then together the next and the lightsabre is now partially buried to match the shots when he uses the force to retrieve it. again one minute its fully on show then the next shot its half buried.
I could cry right now. :-D
CONTINUITY!!!!!!!!!
adywan said:doubleofive said:Question: Should Cloud City cast a shadow on the clouds when seen from a particular angle? Something to think about.
no it shouldn't . as you will see when the shot is moving the foreground clouds are quite a distance from the city. its hard to explain really so you'll just have to wait for the trailer to see what i mean. lol
In all the shots? Of course, you can just make it so no clouds are near the city, like it projects some kind of Cloud Avoidence Field so that people wouldn't be constantly walking on balconies with knee-high railings in a thick layer of fog. LOL
Nice shot. So you brightened everything, flipped the City, moved it up, and added some more clouds above it. You also moved the Car back and reversed it so it is coming from the City instead of flying around it.

steamboy said:doubleofive said:And I'm glad there's all-new real clouds, because once I noticed that the original matte was a flip shot of this:
I couldn't look at it the same way.
Haha, nicely spotted!
At least they recomposited the City so its not the EXACT same shot. You have to give them that.
Alright, here's my weekly comparison of the weekly preview:
I think with the right CG flyby, this shot will be perfect. And I'm glad there's all-new real clouds, because once I noticed that the original matte was a flip shot of this:
