Davenes, I'm loving your Endor Prime shots, especially the fleet arriving shot.  The DS explosion is a little large and looks like it should have cracked the moon in half, but I suppose that's the point! LOL

Back to the stripes, I also noticed that Tydyrium has two stripes as it flies overhead towards the Executor.  They tried, they really did.  OK, maybe its just one.

Awesome stuff on the shuttle Sluggo!  I believe that the stripes should be brought into alignment in RotJR.  I'll post some mockups of my attempts to fix it.

Of course, we don't need to worry about Tyderium since it will more than likely be replaced by a whole new shuttle type.

Now you know why GOUT ain't OOUT (or at least one of many reasons).

We'd have to ask someone with Faces or something, but are we sure it hasn't always been zoomed?  Both shots of the Emperor from the bottom of the ramp are like that.

Thanks to vbangle's awesomeness, today I came into possession of Wookiegroomer's Splitscreen of the GOUT/2004.  Upon flipping through it, I noticed something:

Notice the stripe at the far right of the screen on the bottom image?  At first I thought it was a SE continuity fix to match up with the next shot of the shuttle:

However, upon further examination, it looks like the GOUT was zoomed in on the original filmed element and the SE just pulled back a bit, not sure why.

But more examination brought up more problems:

As you can see, there's no stripe in the long shot.  Nor is there one on Vader's shuttle on his approach:

"Ah," but you say, "Vader's shuttle isn't the Emperor's therefore no stripe!"

Then why are there two stripes on Vader's when he lands?!

Quick and Dirty:

The Rebels find themselves in a completely different fleet.

Is the dialogue gonna be

Jango Fetts voice

or

Original Boba Fett Voice

Original voice.  Clearly labelled on the first page.  We've had the debates, recently even.  Temura Morrison (Jango) did not do well, so the original dialog will be restored and Jango in his helmet will be redubbed in AotC.

Has anything been done about the sabers. They just seem a little too jumpy to me. And is vaders saber still pink.

Adywan continues his quest to redo every single saber, so most worries about lightsabers are handled by Ady on a frame-by-frame basis.

Changed images on my previous post.  If it doesn't show up, it looks just like the Falcon, but available at home.

I think the answer lies with Ady buying one of these:

Master Replicas Studio Scale Falcon

and inserting it into whatever mattes need work.  At least, that would be the most awesome answer.

Hey Ady!  I built you a new TIE Fighter model for the shots you're redoing!

Admittedly, its a little small, and its starting to stink.  Just realized I should have used a blue egg...

More Pics

I was at my local Target a few weeks ago and came across a Star Wars egg coloring kit by "Dudley's".  I can't find it online, but this is different from the Clone Wars one or even last year's Target-exlusive one.

The highlight of this one is the build-your-own-easter-egg TIE Fighter:

Pretty neat, but check out the wraps:

That's right.  It's an Original Trilogy set.  The copyright date you can barely see on the ESB egg is 2009.  Admittedly, the stickers are a mix of OT and PT, but the main pieces are OT.  Pretty cool.

Check out whole set:

My wife made the "It's a Trap!" egg, because she's awesome like that.

Thanx. I just love learning use software while doing something useful at the same time :)

Right now I'm thinking about doing a clip of the idea of Endor orbiting around a planet that was knock around a while back. So far, the only real opportuinty is during the final space battle - All other times just show a tiny bit of Endor's curve, with DSII hanging out there.

Don't forget the long shot of the moon from when the fleet is jumping in.  That would be a cool shot for a planet somewhere behind it.

I like the celebrations over the credits idea.  I'll add it to the list.

If the Ewoks instantly think Threepio is a god I thought it might be nice to show they have a god like Threepio.

That's awesome.  Seriously awesome.  Both the idea and the implementation.

Yeah and the language of Huttese throughout the whole saga seem to use the 5 words over and over. When Sebulba talks he basically says some of the same crap that jabba says. Why is everybody in the saga Bantha Fodder? Why does Jabba sound completely different in all the movies. I wish they would have made Jabba sound as large in TPM and ANHSE as he did in ROTJ. Why does jabba sound so different when it would be easy to make him sound like the ROTJ jabba if we had the scenes without the music and soundeffects. I mean make jabbas voice deeper ad some breathing and bass. I prefered Jabbas voice in ROTJ and can we add jabbas laugh to the rest of his apperances because Han knows that laugh so their for han has heard it several times. I know this is off subject but do you think we could be george lucas and add a holographic image of jabba talking to boba in his slave one when he is watching the millenium falcon. It would be easy just use the scenes from return and fix it up to look holographic and use some of his dialogue. hoo hoo hoo hoo ho hoo ah ah ah ah ah I love that laugh.

The simplist way is to cut Jabba out of the other movies.  Ady already did one of them.  Then there is consistency in that we only see him the one time!

The only R2 "line" from RotJ I can remember is after Luke says "I can't do it Artoo" and R2 says what I've always imagined as "what can't you do, what can't you do?" which is a reuse or reused some other time (I can't remember which).  Never noticed that any of the "dialog" sounded different.

Here's a thought.

If I recall right, the new Battlestar Galactica had a bunch of battles that took place in an Endor-esque forest. (actually, I think every exterior in the shows first three seasons was the same copse of trees).

Maybe some of that, trees with explosions and things, could be tweaked and dropped into the Endor battle.

Yes, this is true.  And most of the battle shots don't have anything in them due to centurians being so expensive to animate.  However, they are only DVD quality (so far), and Ady will be working from a 1080 source.

Nice to hear that Ady is planning something huge for RotJ.  It needs it in a big way.

I'm glad that Hoth backgrounds are being modified.  They are too blurry overall for my tastes, even when there's not a snowstorm to explain it.

This has probably already been brought up, beat down, destroyed, and rebuilt, only to be beat down again, but...

... I would really love it if R2-D2's beeps were changed to fit in with the rest of the Star Wars saga!!!!!

Even the PT got the beeps right. What the hell is up with R2's beeps in ROTJ? That has always bugged me, even when I was a little kid.

 

To quote C-3PO: I heartily agree with you, sir.

R2's beeps suck in ROTJ, and it has bothered me for some time. I know it will be time-consuming, but I hope ady corrects this.

To be honest I never noticed Artoo's beeps being off in ROTJ but in ROTS they were really all over the place (the Tellytubbyish "uh-oh" being a partically ugly utterance...even Artoo got a rubbish script on that gig).

I'll have to listen again.

Me too.  I thought RotJ had a lot of reused R2 "lines", but what can do you do?  Its not like its Klingon with a translation.  Heaven help those who want to make a real binary language.

It's "Gaff" from Blade Runner, yes.  Also played "Bill Adama" in Battlestar Galactica (2003).  We should totally insert him into RotJ as an A-wing pilot.  That would be the most awesome thing ever.

Yes.

Lando: "We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star.  And we might just take a few of them with us!"

Over the comm: "So say we all!"

Anyone who has not seen last night's (Apr. 1st's) episode, "Whatever Happened, Happened", there are spoilers for that episode below.

Aright, so I was off a little bit, but I was right about Ben living and but it looks like I am wrong about Ben remembering everything. And I was way off about Jack helping him though.

If he remembered everything, then his obsession with Juliet (who is the one who wouldn't give up and let him die), and his harshness in using Sayid as his hitman. But from what Richard said, he will not remember any of the events surrounding his injury (cop out way of avoiding the issue). Kind of funny that it turns out Sayid's shooting Ben is what turns him into the monster he becomes.

A lot like that episode of The Outer Limits, where the girl goes back in time and kills Hitler as a baby, only for the woman in charge of taking care of baby Hitler to go buy a gypsy woman's baby from her in order to keep Hitler's parents from discovering that their son was kidnapped and murdered, which ultimately results in the historical Hitler we know.

Exactly what I thought.  Of course, the only alternatives were to let Ben die (which would negate all of the time travel rules they've been telling us about) or to have Ben remember everything and have recognized everyone the entire time they were on the Island (which retcons everything that has ever happened since we met "Henry Gale").  Either one would have upset me to no end.  However, a throwaway line by Richard does not satisify me.  The Island/Others having the power to alter memory would have been a useful feature before (in the future), and I would like to get more of an explanation than "it just does, ok?"

Darn it, I really wanted to see those!

I don't know why Ady is against the idea, but there is nothing saying that someone can't revisit EMPIRE:R and add them themselves.

I think its because its hard enough to believe 3 TIEs could miss the Falcon so many times, let alone a dozen or more.  But your point about making your own is very valid, and something some people should consider.

Jipsu said:

Hello, i'm new here

Why there's no DVD 9 purist?

i'm not english, and i want subtitles for this version

 

thanks

PURIST was just something Ady did for fun, which is why there's only one version.  You'd have to figure out a way to take the subtitles and apply them yourself, I believe.  I know its possible, but I'm not sure how.

OK when the SE came out I was a little dissapointed that the Space battle in ROTJ didnt get any treatment. When I saw ROTS and I saw those two capital ships hammering at one another I had expected something a little more like that in ROTJ.

Your version makes mine look like crap.  Great work!
