A great idea. nice mockup but whoever attempts this will have to prepared to have the sequence picked over at the sub-atomic level.
Bingo, uuh, I think Sidious' cloak looks a little wrinkly laying on his shoulder. Could you smooth that out a bit? :p
Yeah when I watched it it felt perfect but I wasn't quite sure why(except for the obvious Turkey neck Palpatine gone). But when I watched it as a side by side comparison it was "aha, so that's why."
Yep INVAR, this whole edit is like a wish fulfilled. Yes, there will still be little imperfections, but that's the humanity in it. That's what art has. It's not meant to scrub all inconsistencies. It's meant to entertain first and foremost....and this last Emperor hologram video did just that....as well as looking better than ever.
So I will let others navel gaze into oblivion. I just look forward to hearing updates and stills and finally, completion.
Is this a real discussion or did I suddenly go into some strange bizzaro world for this edit where folks are talking about teeth? :p
The Binks Brooklyn accent reminds me of Lucas saying he originally wanted 3PO to speak with a used car salesman Brooklyn-native accent.
Magnoliafan made some great edits and laid the groundwork for future edits.
Ady, that asteroid impact on the SD tower looks different somehow from the original. Besides a great picture, did you spice it up with debris at all?
If not, then just the picture clarity alone will work wonders for this film.

The one thing that makes the troopers looks really fake is when they have their helmets off. Placing a real head on a CG body just didn't work and the ones where they are fully CG their faces looks so fake. Why the hell didn't they just build a few costumes for these shots?
I'm hopefully going down the real-trooper route when i get to the PT. Also they won't be clones of Jango. Jango will have been hired to recruit the best mercenaries from all over the galaxy for the cloning process so there would be a variety of clones and you can have different voices, which would tie that into the OT where the stormtroopers don't all sound the same
ILM's Ben Snow, who supervised that portion of the film(Geonosis), asked Lucas again and again if he could build just one practical suit so they could use it for at least lighting reference on-set during filming.
But Lucas would have none of it.
Your decision to use practical suits is already more interesting than the blanket CG approach Lucas took in that particular situation.
And they never quite tracked the heads effectively to the suits as you mentioned. A prime example of vfx working against the success of the film.
Maybe the pilot hit reverse? :p
That's not a bad idea at all.
lol brash. And true.
thx
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but will the new ANH: revisited just be a 720p version with the same changes as before or will new changes be made also?
Ouch jaitea that gave me a headache....
But in a real cool this is how this stuff works kinda way. Wow that is a lotta thought behind that shot.
LOL@bingowings.
The thing I really like about that Bespin shot is it enhances the original work while keeping the better new-style apartment. Nice blend of original and new.
About the RotJ change to Coruscant idea, why would Endor have to be changed?
You could keep Endor the same with the same mission but instead of blowing up the shield generator protecting the DS2 it's some big gun. Hell, it even looks like a gun!
Maybe that gun is some thing that worries the rebel fleet enough to keep the attack away until Han and co. disable it. Then the fleet could arrive and take on the Imperial fleet.
You could even conceivably keep some of the smae shots of the DS2 laser destroying the fleet ships, instead it comes from the generator/gun on Endor.
Then you just transfer Luke to Coruscant and have the Emperor's tower on Imperial city and have that throne room be HIS real throne room.
Man I love McQuarrie's work. Genius.

not to mention he's gonna redo ANH after ROTJ.....which is probably good cause I figure he'll need all the help he can get for the prequels
Well the prequels would likely require stuff beyond anything he's doing right now. So yeah, revisiting ANH and then doing RotJ will lay the groundwork for the very complex work needed to try and pull the prequels out of the morass.
Wow that looks damn exceptional Eye Shot First.
Now if we can get computers to do script correction as easily we'll be home free. :P
Wow. I was just looking back at the beginning of this project. 2007??? This has certainly been a multi-year project, but a worthy one. The work is first class.
I think by the time ady gets to his own edit of RotJ technology will become even more user friendly.
And he will have the experience of the previous two OT films behind him. He will be a editing master.
I really like that edit. I assume you went with the Yoda line and then Obi-Wan to setup the idea that Kenobi trains Anakin against the councils wishes, making him seem more reckless.
Good idea.
But the thing I really like is what you did with Darth Maul's death. Cool.
Well this is a radical ideas thread. So we dont know now how to pull it off but video technology will catch up pretty quick.
Imagine if the first film had a more tranquil smaller coruscant. Like a small city with parks and open spaces, etc throughout. Then as the war prgoresses, people swarm into the capital to take refuge, huge housing programs are undertaken, and then city grows immensely as billions arrive from around the galaxy fleeing the war.
In fact in AOTC Anakin and Padme travel as refugees to Naboo(which should be changed to Alderaan).
Maybe refugees arrive on Coruscant and then are transferred to accepting worlds?
Available footage? No idea.
Adywan sir, I can't wait to see what you have in store for fans with the prequels....years away though they may be.
I think I will be old and graying posting here when RotS arrives. But hey, the fun is in the doing.
I really like the idea of a transtition for coruscant. You could have this really idyllic capital in the first film. A Utopian city state. Then the war comes. Refugees swarm in, etc. Riots break out. Mass building programs are undertaken to build the city even bigger.
Terrorist attacks occur.
