Last night's episode (titled "Some Like It Hoth") was strangly on topic for these boards. Hurley in 1977 trying to write Empire Strikes Back from memory, making it a little better, and avoiding Return of the Jedi especially the Ewoks? Awesome.

I darkened it enough to see that you are indeed correct.
He even added a blast flash to the cannon. Nice, but REALLY hard to see!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You'll notice in the GOUT that the walker is firing as Luke is going up. However, you can't see the bolts in the 2004 DVD because the brightness is so far off.
Ady, is your walker firing?
Darth Lars said:Sorry, but I think the colors in the image on the far right looks best, actually. But then, I am watching this on a PC with different gamma than a television.
There is one thing that bugs me, though: It is illogical for Luke's airspeeder to be in the left in the picture, when he is clearly running after the AT-AT. The airspeeder should be on the right in the shot, if at all.
In the images on the left, there is still a boulder left from the 2004 image that I think stands out.
The colors may look OK on the DVD, but the entire shot doesn't match any shot before or after. It's too dark, too blue, too cloudy. If you really watch the Hoth battle, the changing weather and background jump out at you.
And what airspeeder are you talking about? I don't see one in any of the versions...
Comparison by me, coming in a few minutes.
Here it is:
Awesome that Ady used Vaderios' matte. It's good stuff there!
BarBar Jinkx said:From what I can remember its goes something like this
when Qui gon died there was balance in the force so he was burned on the Pior which is jedi tradition
then later on there is imbalance so he finds a way back via the force
the imbalance is so strong that OBI & Yoda disolve into the force at the time of their deaths
when Vader dies he has restored the balance to the force by killing El Sid, & as a result luke Burns his remains as is the tradition.
Never heard that one. Why couldn't Lucas have made it easier? Oh yeah, he didn't watch the OT when he was writing the PT, and only addressed issues as they were pointed out to him, promising answers in "the next movie."
I agree, but Lucas never explained if Qui-Gon learned this secret about staying around as a Force ghost and taught it to Yoda, who taught it to Obi-Wan just before they both went into exile, how would Anakin know about it? And why didn't Qui-Gon disappear (of course, that's fixable, but Obi-Wan would have freaked out next to that pit if he had never seen that before).
It's all sloppy. All Jedi should have disappeared when they died. Then nothing would be wrong. I'm still upset about that.
IF, I ceretainly hope your ideas are worth it. jones and ID are about to die over here. ENTIRE FAN EDITS REST ON YOUR SHOULDERS! A WHOLE GENERATION OF FANS' CHILDREN WILL TELL OF THIS ENDING!
No pressure. ;-)

Please add this.
That is all.
That is one of those GIFs that you can watch over and over again.

Angel posted this in the Prequel Redux thread, but I thought it appropriate here also. I don't know if I should applaud them for saving money, or condemn them for not even changing the sky.
At least the colors are better. Wait, THE COLORS ARE BETTER?!
I don't remember where it was mentioned, but there's an article the specifically states that ILM did the colors and just had Lowry clean it. I think ILM tried to restore it themselves to save money, messed up the colors and hoped Lowry could fix it.
adywan said:well i can't see why selling some hand built stuff would be illegal. There is no way i could possibly think of selling the sets though. The canyon alone is going to be 13ft & 3ft and the hangar is going to be huge also so no possible way to ship these things in one piece. I may, however, be selling the Wampa and some of the smaller things that i wouldn't be needing for any of the other films in the saga. But its getting the money together to get the things done in the first place that's the problem. lol
That's really big. I mean, wow. Are you actually going to fly the Falcon through it, to scale?! That's impressive.
Bingowings said:Monroville your link isn't working at this end.
Remember we were told the every special effect element had been recomposited for SE?
OPPS!
I noticed that when I was doing my edit. Oops, indeed. A terribly composited 2D explosion and unneccesary redness bleeding onto Wedge. I don't even understand how that was possible.
Just uploaded them all for ImpFight to use.
Cripes, that alien is creepy/crappy.
On a more serious note, I got the screenshot descriptions ImperialFighter needs for his suggestions. I'll try to get those done for him today so he can post them here soon.
EDIT: I've not watched the movie since opening day, or even touched the DVD. Pray for me, as I go almost frame by frame through the opening and closing of this movie.
jones1899 said:So I had this idea some time ago for the climax with Spalko and someone at the other site suggested the same thing, so I wanted to see what you guys thought.
What if we show what Spalko is seeing visions of in the end. I don't know what EXACTLY, but maybe horrible things from the past? future? Obivously the clips would have to build from something somewhat normal to something crazier and crazier. But using old news footage, etc might be kinda cool here. Might give the film that added weight that it needs.
Two things:
1. I think these would have to have some sort of effect to show she's seeing this in her mind. Nothing cheesy. Of course I don't have the tech know how to do this.
2. I would only want news footage or really old film footage. I don't want something from War of the Worlds in there or anything.
Horrible things from the past? Getting crazier and crazier? You don't need old film footage, you just need to show her the movie she was just in!
Oh, burn.
Bingowings said:It's great work doubleofive but there is a key problem with it.
Why do the fighters go in with the Falcon in the first place?
One obvious answer is the more ships that go in the more chances they have of success, in that case why ram or bam the reactor with the Falcon with a larger crew than the fighters?
The next obvious answer is to protect the Falcon on it way in but that doesn't hold up because the Imperial fighters are traveling in the same direction as the Rebels (all the Rebel guns are pointing the wrong way).
If they are there to protect the Falcon the Rebels should split up and creep up behind the Imperials and pick them off or wait until the Imperials are in the tube and come in after them.
The best option I can think of (because we all want fighters in that maze with the Falcon) is that the Falcon is critically damaged in the bump that takes out the communications disk (as in my earlier post), it's going to blow up anyway so Lando sends Wedge out and rams the reactor, getting the best use of a failing resource.
You bring up a problem I've always had with the sequence. Why do "all" the fighters (Lando calls for all of them, of which there are apparently FIVE LEFT) need to enter the DS if Lando is going to send them all back to the surface a few seconds later (which is why I moved the Executor sequence inbetween, so Lando waits a bit before sending them back, like he's almost to the reactor and is sending them away). Six TIEs enter in after them, one exploding against the wall and three following everyone else out. Then those two TIEs shoot at the Falcon a grand total of ONCE, and the Falcon never uses its cannons to shoot them off (unless the cannons are damaged, as you suggest).
Since we don't have shots of Billy Dee saying how the Falcon is too damaged to make the shot, we have to think of other alternatives. Like maybe not having the other Rebel ships go with Lando. But then you have to wonder what would happen if the Falcon didn't make it. More runs at the reactor? Too much like ANH.
I really don't know.
ALSO: it'd be awesome if we could find Billy Dee saying "sorry" sincerely or something apologetic as he's headed towards the reactor during my silent part. Any ideas?
Sluggo said:It turns out the Jundland wastes, plains of Naboo and Bespin are all actually different parts of Endor.
What about Coruscant? Also part of Endor, OR THE PLANET ENDOR ORBITS?
I believe Adywan says he has something special planned that justifies the celebrations. That will be interesting to see. What could we put into RotJ to justify the instant celebrating?
A live TV crew ship flying around the battle, streaming a live feed to every planet in the Empire? ;-)
Monroville said:On your edit, try putting the "Luke dragging Vader to shuttle bay" scene after the Executor is destroyed. The editing is still a little off in that the scene above feels plunked in - maybe if there was a more natural back-and-forth (regardless of whether we see Luke actually leave).
I just tried your suggestion, but while they do feel better together as they originally were, it makes it so you go straight from "That was too close" to Wedge flying out. I tried to give the fighters more time to fly into the DS by moving the Executor forward, and give Wedge enough time to fly out by having Anakin's death there.
ben_danger said:loved the clip, i like how sudden the explosion is. i was wondering, if you chose to do a verison 2, inserting ackbars 'shocked' look that he has when the death star explodes, maybe so there is an on screen reaction to 'that blew up a bit quicker than i imagined'.
I had tried moving Ackbar's depressed fall back into his chair from when the Executor falls to the end there, but he was standing at a railing yelling to move the fleet away, then back in his chair really quick. I love the idea and I'm sure it could be done (I'm thinking with an all new end to the Executor, you could matte the DS in the shot of him looking at the Executor and cut to him being depressed). It also doesn't fit in with my fade from white to Endor.
I think I'll just ignore this thread and stick to "ESB and ROTJ Wishlist".

LOVE THE COLOR CORRECTION!
lol. also notice that the falcon has a green hue before enters to the deathstar tunel, but matches when is in.

Thanks. It was my first time color correcting video, and the most I could do without mattes, which I don't think the cheapest version of Vegas will let you do (I'm doing a trial of the cheapest version to see if I want it, or if I need to spend more later), nor did I really want to do mattes for a YouTube video. I see why some fan edits take forever, there's always ONE MORE THING you could work on. ;-)
