I haven't watched it yet....... I'll get to it ASAP, though, I promise!!!

I know it may not be my place, but I would love to review it, too...

Wait, what's finished and what are you PM-ing?

I do wish it was the lightsaber falling, even if it has been proven to just be part of the structure.  Think of all that weapon has done: Fought Sith Lords and Jedi Masters alike, kill the leader of the Separatists, end the Clone Wars, pretty much decide the fate of the entire galaxy, and we lose it, never to be seen again, in two seconds, when its facing its dark replacement, nonetheless.  More closure would've been nice for such an important piece of the saga's history.

So perhaps as a late change, Ady could change the object to something a bit clearer looking, that something being a hand gripping the saber hilt?  It'd be nice getting clearer closure with a weapon so profound in the saga.

I have the full scores for Menace and Sith, most of Clones, and then the newest releases of the OT's soundtracks are pretty close to complete.

The red saber is great!  In the Murder on Mustafar clip, though, the music cuts are a bit harsh, and there is a drastic cut between Anakin spinning his saber and jumping in front of Gunray.

I'm gonna receive a lot of anger at this suggestion, but I really, really think that Shaw should be at least redubbed in ROTJ.  Anakin was supposed to be in his 40's, but he sounds and looks like the old man Shaw was, which is just realistically wrong, no matter how much nostalgia or respect for the dead one may have (which are both important, of course!).

 

I have a counter offer... Redub all of Hayden Christensians whiny-voiced dialog. =P

I know you're joking, but in all seriousness (and to the other poster who replied to me), Anakin doesn't sound like someone who is dying after vicious electrocution.  He just sounds like an old man, which he shouldn't.

That was great!  The music was annoying, but the editing was superb.

Cool concept, but I imagine it would be very hard to understand any audio.

Just alter Obi-Wan's dialogue in ANH and any references to apprentice Vader.  You could easily just have Vader and Palpatine regard Obi-Wan as a great Jedi who escaped the Purge without mentioning that Vader was his padawan.  In fact, somehow, it could be mentioned how Obi-Wan lost "the great Skywalker", which is true, just not in how a clueless audience would interpret it.

Will the Falcon itself look more realistic in the finished version, Ady?

More realistic? I think it looks fine now

It still screams "CGI" to me, as I said on the previous page.  I know it is CGI, but it just really, really looks animated.  Not model-like.  Compared to the rest of the film where the Falcon is the original model, it's going to stand out big time.

The trailer was OK.  Not enough quick cuts for a finale, and some frames from shots after the shot you used were not cut out.

Wow, vaderios sure is in shill mode. ;)

Anyway, not sure what else could be done to the shot. I mean, it even has other ships flying around the city as they're approaching!

I know.  But the Falcon still has a very big "I'm special effects" feel to me, personally (I don't know how far Ady's effects software can go, though).

Is the new fly-by the final version of that shot?  Or are the SFX still being tweaked?

So Adywan, without giving anything away, of course, how many 100% new effects shots like that Falcon approach will there be in the final product?

That's SOOO much smoother than all of the different shots the original cuts between.  Well done!!!

That's not going to be the reveal of Cloud City, right?  We'll see a farther shot of the whole thing first?

I say make the shuttle black with red Imperial symbols on both sides of the center fin.

Ok.. more background madness even more anoying..

Lets take this shot And zoom to the red rectangle... 

What do we see?

One dude sending SMS the other cleaning his ear and the other wears his glasses(?)

 

Fire them!

-Angel

No, no, no, those aren't glasses, they're his binoculars to see the Emperor better, duh!

OMG they look nothing alike 

 

there not even close cousins a like 

 

FFS!

I think it might be the eyes more than anything else.

I had a thought regarding being able to make these things as stills and not in motion.  It would take ages, but for short clips, over time, would look great.

What if the artists who do the still shots got frame-by-frame stills of a sequence, edited each still, then strung them together again with the film's audio?  It would work, it would just take ages, since it's 24 frames per SECOND.

Just a thought.

If Anakin is hearing voices perhaps in episode 2 when he is kneeling at his mother's grave he could hear her repeat.

"Son, my place is here, my future is here. It is time for you to let go..."

Almost like it's whispered on the wind.

It would add to the idea I suggested earlier that Anakin was driven insane by the death of his mother and that Vader is an alternate personality that grows in strength in the background of the later half of Episode 2 and the whole of Episode 3 and only begins to fade by the end of Episode 5.

I like the quote idea.  But having Anakin and Vader be two personalities is not a concept I've personally liked.
