laser and gun don’t show the same direction.

After seeing the Alderaan Destruction Clip, I became more interested in trying to view the 1080p Regrade Test. Does anyone have it? (I can’t find it…)

I have a copy of that, do you want it?

The explosion element looks interesting however one of the explosions isnt centered on the planet itself.

Also the explosion feels too plastered and in-static, try adding more dynamic stuff

Hal 9000 said:

The explosion of the planet seems to shift to the right mysteriously. Like part of it exploded to the right and then that part becomes the focus. I don’t know if that makes sense.

I think I favor Dat_SW_Guy’s version at the moment. This version of the explosion reads as Alderaan dissolving into an explosion already in progress while Dat’s looks more like the object itself is beginning to explode (albeit very quickly, as in the original film).

Alright, I will re-start this clip tonight.
Thanks for being honest guys.

Funny this thread should come up - I was just wondering this the other day. I’ve mostly called it ESB, probably because that seems to be the more common abbreviation, but realise this is inconsistent with the other films. For example, people tend to include the “T” in “TPM”, “TFA”, “TLJ” and “TROS”.

If searching on Google for things related to Empire, “ESB” is far more lucrative.

I think the reason why TPM, TFA, TLJ, and TRoS caught on where TESB did not is because the first four only have two words if you exclude grammatical particles, but the Empire Strikes Back has three. Same thing with A New Hope, because if you can exclude “the” you should be able to exclude “a”.

Well that kind of ends the debate.

Your version of ANH is probably going to be my favorite until we get Adywan’s

Same here, Can’t wait for ady’s effort.

I can’t tell anything wrong with it.

Hal 9000 said:

Looks good from what I can tell from a still image. Although there isn’t a lot of motion to worry about, so I’m sure it looks equally good in motion.

please be honest.

Does it blend good?

It was never called "the return of the Jedi, Just return of the jedi.

I think it’s a joke lol

Oh, now I seem stupid.

After a trillion years, I finally finished the Alderaan Explosion sequence to a degree in which I find acceptable. The colors are a bit overexposed but at this point I’m too tired to keep on going (lol)

I adjusted the size of the explosions a bit to fit in more in-frame and fixed the little jitteriness at the start. If you may find it a bit lacking in quality, its WAY better in HD.

Aside from this one, I decided to make two changes:
1.) I have decided to not do the speeder shadow removal + replacement because my current skills in editing isnt good enough to do that sort of thing, plus I can barely run any 3D rendering program such as Blender on this computer.

2.) I removed the Jabba confrontation scene in the SE completely using an iris wipe transition carefully masked to hide the transition from ILM, I’ll be posting that soon along with others.

As of right now the edit is heading its way into completion, however if I were to make a hypothetical V2, It would mainly tackle on the speeder shadow replacement + fixing the jump-cuts using fantamorph.

Gorgeous!

Wow this edit looks very impressive so far! I can’t wait to see the finished product.

Also glad you’re introducing Vader with the Imperial March and updating the blaster bolts to match ESB:R and the prequels

👍

I love how direct and sharp this thread is.

Thanks.

The ESB.

We have a winner.

Nah, I still prefer either ESB or Empire.

SparkySywer said:

I don’t think I’ve seen it called TESB in a good part of a decade

The reason This thread came to mind was because someone called it that in a thread I was following.

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Okay.

👍

What do you like to call it?
