Ady, quick question:

One of the little things I loved most about ANH:R was the way you edited the opening crawl so "EPISODE IV" appeared at the same cue it did pre-ANH. Well, for ESB, "EPISODE V" appears at the same time "EPISODE IV" does in the re-release/SE print of ESB. In fact, ALL of the movies are like this.

Do you plan on altering the opening crawls so they start at the proper cue for all the films, the way you did with ANH? I, for one, would LOVE to see this happen (at least with the OT).

Oh, and I like the original music cue - it's very epic, and reminds me a lot of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS for some reason. Perhaps you could try it out and see how it works in context with your edit and the rest of the sound track, Ady?

The reason I demostrated the original cue (yes, that's the ORIGINAL Probe Droid cue) rather than the film alternate is that is Ady is going to be rebuilding the Sound field, then the alternate will produce more problems than it will solve.

For one, the music quality is different than the rest becuase it was one of a couple tracks that are improperly and haphazardly mixed on the SE.

Two, it's missing a few bars which enable the transition between it and the music as Luke is on the taun taun.

And lastly, to simply show what it was like.

As for the request to mix in the sfx, I've done that before... but my video got pulled from YouTube... I'll post it again here if you'd like...

Boy, they sure were inconsistent with the backgrounds! You don't notice quite as much until the screenshots are put up. ;)

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.

Film Changes said:


# 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.... ;)
