What I've found (apart from the sonic boom and the crew) is the orange sleeve of the operator that wore the "wampa arm" glove when attacking Luke's taun-taun (down left corner) along with some hints of dark curly hair (presumably from the fur-coat of the same operator)...
I know what you're planning, Brash... it's the 'Howard the Duck' Most Definitely Special Edited Cut, isn't it??? Come on, be honest, you know it be true XDDD
@005: you're right about the tracking device, my big mistake!!! XDD
PS: I hope this doesn't show up in my SW Fan personal file... can I buy you some popcorn? ;-P
Ady: I've just seen your wonderful ESB thetrical version, and I wondered if you're planning to add some more TIE to chase the Falcon after rescuing Luke.
The Imps planted a homing beacon, yes, but they should go on with the show and send a whole squadron to make it believable so the Rebs don't get suspicious. What do you think?
PS: first time after 30 years I notice that escaping Slave I had no windshield at all!!! XD
Oh, BTW, isn't its fleeing speed a little slow? Are you planning to speed it up just a little bit?
You see, the Bespin flyby is what made me instantly fell in love with your project!
Ady, I'd suggest you do as Bingowings say: concentrate on another thing, take another look at it and solution will come to you. Trust us ;)
Keep up the good job!!!! :D
I forgot to specify that the fishnet deployment of the fleet is *static*, of course: I sit here waiting until fishes try to pass thru the holes... moment in which I capture you with my strong tractor beam without firing a single laser bolt (we redirected all energy from the laser guns to the tractor beam, so no-one could ever escape... just like the DS on the MF, even with her shields on).
Hey! But anyway, I *do* like Ady's version!!! :D
Imagine the fleet deploying as a fishnet trying to *literally* catch the fleeing Rebs, just add three or four SD at equidistant points and the "not-firing scenario" makes sense!
Anyone willing to provide a mock-up? :))
I like Ady's version indeed, but... did anybody consider the possibility that the Imps wanted the Rebels alive and just tried to catch them with a tractor beam as they passed by? That could explain why they were sitting there and not firing at all :)
Last of Ady's comments about flaps here:

I'm really, really sorry cause it's way off topic, but I couldn't resist it... I found this photo of Jake Lloyd (little Ani in the PT) now in his twenties, and I said to myself "Boy! Definitely, he is not the chosen one".
Happy week-end to everyone! :)
... and so we conclude that the PT should've never been done, for the sake of our mental sanity ;)
@TheBoost: Ady said he might use that material for ROTJ:R, not for ESB:R
Oh, I see... *sigh*
Maybe another fantastic clip from Ady will keep us "alive and kicking" for a while (and maybe we won't go off topic so often ;-P)
Ady, are you considering a second round of opinions on your work letting us have a peep at it? I volunteer myself for that honor and privilege if needs be :D
Mr J, don't take it personally. I'm with you, I don't like socks either, but... it's Ady's edit.
It'll wait ;)
PS: nice mock-up, good job! :)

No means no, Jaitea.
I got Frink's virus, I guess XD
^We'll have to put "socks" in the ESB:R Redux's first-things-to-do list, I guess :)
^In the end, any version that Ady finally chooses, will do nicely! :D
Tinkering with PS (autolevels, autocontrast and autocolor) I came to this version:
I prefer this version of the "overall death star gray" than the slightly blueish hue... It feels more natural, doesn't it?
PS: the more I look to the blueish one, the more I see the colors had been altered to make it that unnatural hue...
Are we just carrying ourselves away, letting time pass until we read again some news from our beloved Ady? :)

(...) but cutting the line out just instinctively feels like pointless vandalism to me.
I'm with you, Gold Leader ;-)
Did you notice neck is already broken when the AT-AT falls?
When we see it fall, the neck is parallel to the ground (so it can break in the desired way and not dig into the snow like a spear), which we can assume is a manouver the AT-AT drivers did to avoid dying in the crash (lifting the "cockpit"). But you can clearly see that where the neck connects to the body, the lower section is already torn apart. Nothing difficult to be fixed with some editing, I guess.
And for the running troopers... Maybe could work if they were more than just two of them? Or simply remove the running troopers and the Chief Trooper yelling? :)
Have a look at this project, looks preety good...

Dear Ady,
Have you contemplated removing the 6 or 7 frames of fade-to-black that happens just before the AT-AT's head blows up and turns to black smoke? I've always found it so annoying to see the screen turn to black, not being the smoke that it pretends to be. It feels kind of unnatural to me...
I really like Vaderios' approach: it makes sense and it won't be very difficult to fit it in the movie... ahem... won't it, Ady?
