So Imperial Fighter the engine on the right is actually meant to be an engine for the left??? (That is talking about it as we are looking at it).. I can tell you this much it seems they put a correct sided engine on when we get to Luke flying through the Blue sky and fluffy Clouds of Bespin but no interior spindle detail to the engines on a bright sunny day??? and the interior spindles of the engines are better lit in outer space?? This is a big Black hole that has been destroyed detail again in the restoration for the Bespin blue sky shots. There is some interior engine spindle detail in the Gout but still not enough for a bright day...
Ok, bit of a large post coming but I am going to sight some more things I have noticed about the sequences with the x-wing shots in general. I hope this does not come across as asking for something to be done about it but let's just put it in a way of this is more just how it is or perhaps not how it is and you can tell me off if I made a mistake.
Because of the Bluescreen washout of R2 and that they had to re-color his panels they did not bother to add the blue background lights to the 2 square lights throughout all the re-colored R2 shots.
On those exterior side shots of R2-D2 all the top surface detail of which R2-D2 resides within seems to have been ripped of this particular version of the x-wing.
The Main Cockpit Displays have been ripped off from the x-wing cockpit (Although it is a different version of the x-wing. There is no way it would vary this significantly).
The more I have looked at the ESB x-wing, it has actually made me a bit saddened (but not in any great capacity) It's just that the x-wing was such a huge part of the first film and was so integral to the climax of the first film It feels like in this film it is merely a dim shade of what it was previously and I think that really is a big shame even if it's not flying in to battle we should see another side of it. No Wonder everyone went Mad for the Millennium Falcon and not the x-wing that was handled in such a slap dash way and that is the main characters ship too. It could have been better but I think we just have to say oh well, never mind.
I think that there is not anything else really to go over now in this film, I mean I have looked at this film with uber scrutiny and it still holds up well, there is nothing that totally is killing it. Some technical errors, we can over look them, basically I think nobody will jump out their seat over an engine being re-positioned or altered. But I do think the x-wing handling by the original film makers when it all adds up, It is detrimental but of fairly minimal detriment.
so you issue is it don't look like it did in a new hope?
