I will say that as much as I am impressed with and love the new shot...there is a part of me that likes the simple hard cuts of the original.

The PT is full of flyby shots just like this. In fact, I believe there are no flyby shots that are made up of two different shots (one shot with a ship coming up towards the camera and the next shot with the ship moving away).

I'm not saying I don't like the new type of shot. I'm not saying the shot can't be effective. In fact, there are some I really like...it's just something I noticed in the PT specifically and I thought it was over used, IMHO.

Again, I love what Ady did with the shot. Not trying to start anything.  :D

It's easier to add shots like this to the OT than take away shots like this in the prequels?

I know what you're saying SSWR, but I love flybys.  And it doesn't stand out like the ones ILM did in the SEs.  I think its short and subtle.  Now, if Ady redid EVERY shot like this, I'd have a problem...

 i doubt ady ever would. though he's improving the movies, he wants to keep some of the classicness in it.

aren't u a freakin' bad ass. :p

i miss anything the last few days besides ady's amazing artwork?

ahh, so it is. good find.

Power of that magnitude may look scary even if it's the light side.

"I'm not afraid"

"You will be, You will be."

Another film that has eyes with different settings for dark and light is The Keep.

Glowing white for the good guy and glowing red for the evil chap with the thick neck.

I think Sith eyes are silly generally but it might be fun to see them done differently in an edit of the whole saga (more as curio).

They sort of turn up in TMBTM's Grindhouse ANH.

 maybe yoda should have scary eyes in that scene. Luke looks a little freaked.

nah, i would hope ady wouldn't do that. might be a fun mock up though.

The only other sith eyes that really match anakin's was darth maul.

Don't make me destroy you.....

Just hearing Vader say that gives me the oogies....

And it doesn't sound one bit British to me..... it just sounds..... Sith-ish......

Now I think about it, I don't think the word 'Sith' was ever used in the OT. Nor was padawan, Padme or pod race.

 the term may have not been used in the OT. But in the EU, even before the Prequels, they used the word sith and emperor palpatine.

Look, if Sith get magic eyes when they are being naughty (and Anakin should have had them Bill Bixby style whenever he got angry and hid them under Arnie glasses) then Yoda etc should also get magic eyes when they are leaping around too (its only fair).

Maybe seeing as this is the Light side and the Dark Side the Sith should get dark eyes and the Jedi get light ones (like Shadow Vs Vorlon):

Only joking, it's a silly idea.

Yoda looks possessed in that bottom picture.

looks more like a dead animal to me.

What's more mysterious is how Anakin goes from an American accent in the PT to having a RP English accent in ROTJ (even if you mess with the pitch of James Earl Jones's voice it sounds like an RP English accent).

Wait, what? It's never sounded RP to me. It's "upper class" as American accents go, but I'd still say it's American.

Ben Danger did this little experiment with adjusting the pitch, it's not quite RP but a little more British than mid Atlantic (ala Loyd Grossman and Clive Barker before the throat polyps) :

Imagine that voice trying not to be so EVIL (it sounds a little camp) and you might get a workable Anakin.

 sounds like the doctor from voyager

We could try this out for size.

Dark Lord of Comparisons here, coming at you with my CGI/Puppet Yoda image:

After making this image a few months ago, I decided that I do like the design of the CGI Yoda for the most part. 

 Yea i like the cgi yoda better also, but in the case of the OT, yoda needs to stay a puppet, otherwise all the classicness, if that's a word, is taken out of it.

i know in the AOTC documentary they made a ESB cgi yoda as a test for the movie. He was doing his force speech to luke on daghobah.

LOL Pope mobile for Palpy... hahaha

 YES!!! Vaderios mock up please!!! I'd love to see palps in a pope outfit! :D

Nobody ever said it would be easy. Just wait until ROTJR and everything will star all over again.

last i checked, he was having trouble getting props for the wampa. Patience my young Padawan ;)

All i have to say right now is...WOW! 8(

pretty hot! is that jaina solo?

The odd thing is that I don't even smoke and I'm not tall and really skinny either so they've labeled it a "spontaneous pneumothorax"

 what the heck is that? so out of nowhere you can have respitory attacks or whatever it is? sounds like someone with terrets, i think that's how its spelled, only its worse.

i thought seizures were bad...

how much of adywan's edit did you borrow?

also, u wanna tell us what the music is or is that a surprise?

btw, glad ur alright.

How do you make these things sharper? (and I know it's not just the "sharpen" tool cos that causes all kinds of other problems)

It's awesome! I mean I'm good at photoshop but making things sharper and making it look GOOD has always eluded me other than using A LOT of liquify and moving lines individually... Please let me know, I have personal pics I'd love to sharpen. lol

Strangely enough, all he does is run the default Sharpen operation a couple times.  We got his secret a month or so ago.  The picture has to be clear to get that much clearer, fuzzy pictures will always look off.

Yes, Angel's strict use of HD sources is the reason the shapener doesn't screw up the images. If you use low quality, it just makes the pixels more visible.

Mmm... and I was hoping for some kinda of more complicated magical explanation... lol Thanks guys. =D Guess I'll stick with my normal shapening methods for my fun stuff:

Fierfek... =P

 pretty creative if u ask me ner vod :p

It's Shatner's cup. lol

It does make it look like the one stormie is wearing some strange looking shorts. I wonder why they had just the one stormtrooper have a different attachment to his belt?

It's a thermal detonator, but it's verticle instead of sideways like on the others. Just pointing that out before someone attempts to "correct it" without first knowing what they're looking at. ;)

 u turn twist it so water will come out of the facet.

The Executor should crash at an angle... straight down like it currently is rather unlikely. Also a series of explosions should rip throughout the hull as the ship hits and should detonate as it sinks in. As it stands in ROTJ it looks like the Executor is popping a fire filled balloon. *poof* 

Chopping away at a SSD would take FOREVER so having it go out of control is convenient for the movie. =D If there is ever an X-wing Rogue Squadron "The Bacta War" movie. Then there could a sequence when Rogue Squadron chops away at the Lusankya (another SSD in the EU) but even than after hundreds of proton torpedoes... It wasn't enough to destroy the ship, just turn a lot of it to slag.

Anyway, whatever Ady's team of magicians does with the Battle of Endor I just know it's gonna be epic. As the last of the SW movies it still stands up today as the greatest space battle of all time (Other than Ady's ANH:Revisited Battle of Yavin lol!).

 on ur comment of the rogue squadron movie, the first EU movie that will be made, (maybe), is the republic commando and imperial commando series. those are the best EU novels i've ever read.

Ummm they have that, it's called the "Clone Wars" Cartoon series... and the action is the only decent thing about that series. Everything else is a retconning nightmare. =P I do love the Republic Commando game though. It's excellent and the music in it rocks. Who wouldn't love ancient Mandalorian War chants. XD

Kote, Mando Vode An!

 

 there u go! actually republic commando focuses on a group of clone commandos, special forces. It tells the story of how skirata, mandolorian, became the father of the clones by training them and saving them from the kaminoans due to faulty production and crap.

really good series. it really opens ur eyes to how unique the clones really were. go out and read the series! you'll have a shabla good time!

it was loose?
