My favourite edit in ANH:R was the computer displays in the Rebel Base at Yavin. I was wondering if the Rebel Hoth Base could be touched up in a similar way? I'm thinking specifically about the screens in the control room (the room in which the lady says 'stand by Ion Control. And...fire'). Obviously nothing too over the top, but maybe the displays here could benefit from little digital annotations/text appearing across them, and possibly small digital diagrams and graphics flashing on the screens.

I thought the way the displays were handled in ANH:R was very tasteful, and it'd be great if the same could be done for Empire.

Well, I heard back from my contact that worked at Lowry Digital. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any information about the coloring changes because there was none to give since he didn't start there until after SW was completed. Plus he mentioned NDAs.

Deleted Scenes said:

In the carbon-freezing sequence, C-3PO's complete line would have been "I'm not ready to die on the back of a demented wookiee!" (the italicized words were deleted from all versions of the film, but were heard in their entirety on the Story of The Empire Strikes Back LP).

Changes to 2004 DVD said:

When Luke confronts Vader in the carbon-freezing chamber and ignites his lightsaber, the sound from the original release is overlapped in this scene by the sound produced by Luke's new lightsaber in Return of the Jedi.

# After the Probe droid lands and moves left, there is an optical wipe to the overhead shot of Luke on his Tauntaun.
# After Luke wanders through the snow and falls face down, there is an optical wipe to Han instead of a straight cut.

Yes I know it comes with a fix, I downloaded the ISO with the fix. I'm telling you it doesn't work. But you don't have to take my word for it, check it out for yourself.

I actually missed out on hearing about Adywan and his FIRST Star Wars edit till it was finalised, which is pretty annoying for me, as there was a 'couple of little things' (It's a curse I tell you!) that I would have liked to have mentioned on THAT particular thread too.... ;)

I'm going to be putting the open window into every shot. Its going to be hard, yeh, but it will be worth it.

To summarise.......

There were loads of Sith, they couldn't get along...Then there was only two!

Just a couple things from IMDB that I myself noticed too and they bug me. Many of the little details don't, but these do... maybe its something for you to consider.....

1. The original version has the Rebel fleet hyperspace out immediately before the end credits. Follow-up versions (THX re-release, Special Edition and DVD) all cut to the end credits before the hyperspace jump.

2. As they are are walking through cloud city, Leia is between Han and Lando. As they come around a corner, Han and Lando have switched places.

3. In the updated special edition TESB, as Han, Leia, Lando and Chewy are walking to the trap Vader has set, they walk past one of the new "visualizations" with a lift going up and a view of Bespin. Yet in the following shot, when you see Han holding his gun, the original browny white background is back in its place.

4. During the Battle for Hoth, several rebel soldiers fall down without being hit.

5. (This one REALLY bugs me) Several times, during the escape from Cloud City, stormtroopers are shot, but no blast marks are left on their armor. In addition, the intensity of the guns' blasters against the stormtroopers progressively decreases and increases during the episode.

6. (This one REALLY REALLY bugs the living hell out of me throughout the entire saga) The sounds for lasers and lightsabers change throughout the movie, even with the same weapon being used more than once in a scene. A good example is Han's blaster in the asteroid cave, which makes at least two completely different noises when firing. (Or lightsabers..... if each lightsaber sounds different, I can accept that. But when they clash, they should all sound the same. The lack of big clash noise ruined every lightsaber battle for me, and the fact that each battle sounded completely different from one another sucked, especially the Dooku scenes. But don't get me started on those cause i could go on for hours)

Just a couple for tonight. Just me being nitpicky.

I don't have any special set-up myself, but a DVD cover is smaller in both dimensions than a piece of A4 paper. My box art would probably be too wide, but there are always ways. The trick is to get it to print at the right size, and I have no idea how to do this — I haven't printed out any of my covers yet — so I just worked to the same resolution scale as Sky_'s Revisited cover for all of mine.

Couple more quick ones for today, then I'm off to actually do some work!

That second (better detailed, less blurry) 'close-up' of the viewscreen 'surround' is a bit transparent at the bottom, and we can see Admiral Piet through it. Could you 'solidify' it for us Ady?

Need to look carefully for this one - On the initial long shot reveal of the 'plectrum'-shaped structure, on the side facing us near the position where the entrance into it is....there seems to be a couple of flashing 'lights' that are NOT there in the next shot of Luke heading towards the entrance. Could you remove them for us?

I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of issues I'd REALLY like to see sorted that I think are relevant and could be neat!

ImperialFighter said:

Onto business, here's a little something I've only just noticed recently -

As C3PO complains to Chewbacca carrying him "....Ow!....That hurt....bend down you thoughtless....", as he bends down to get in the Falcon....C3PO's head slightly hits the red 'light' fixture beside the ramp....and knocks it off! Maybe the props guys used double-sided tape for it! :) Anyway, can we get that sorted so it stays in place?
