by "Jim Hensony" I think he means "cartoony". The cartoony aliens are one of the many things I don't like about ROTJ.

I love that they're going more practical with the creature effects. HOWEVER, that alien looks a little too Jim Henson-y.

 I'd tend to agree, but if he's got as much screen time as Wyoslea, Muftak, or Momaw Nadon, he'll be just fine.  And with proper color palette, lighting, etc, he'll probably look better.  

 Even Nien Numb was okay.

Just when you thought the SE couldn't get weirder.

They could do like they did with the Star Trek Blu-ray's pair fans with people involved in the production of other parts.

I will put my name in the hat.

 They could do like they did with the Into Darkness Blu-ray and leave assembling a bonus disc to the fans?

Does this count?

Yes, but I'll transcribe so we can all read it.

I wouldn't want Ady's ESB:R thread to get bogged down by this topic, so here's the thread. It's in this forum, because it's not limited to fan edit purposes, and it's not limited to Original vs SE.

So, where in ROTJ are there mistakes?

We should probably start a "Spot the errors: ROTJ!" thread

JEDIT: I did: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Spot-the-errors-ROTJ/topic/16648/

STAR WARS: EPISODE II

THE MISSING PLANET

 That is a really good title

That might be the best post in here

Oh, yeah, definitely a different take. But it's still Luke, and I think Obi's just behind his head.

I couldn't see the image until I right clicked it, chose "View image", found myself at some other site, and then hit back. The reason you (and no one else) can see the image on the forum is because you have it cached. No one can see that image until they go to the site that hosts it.

 FTFY

 I meant to say "anyone else who can see it", which, thanks to having it in my cache now, includes me.

But seriously, fail.

Hey, no one had spotted the matte misalign on the Falcon @ Bespin until this week.

Alright, help me out guys.



It was brought to my attention that 3PO was in a different position during the wipe, but now taking a closer look, everyone is different. Was this a different take they used in the SE and put the original foreground over top? Was the foreground a composite element originally?

 It looks like Luke is played by an entirely different person. On top he has no beard, but he does on the bottom- and it doesn't look like he's Obi Wan.

The second image has darker contrast, making his jaw shadow darker, making it look slightly more like a beard.

Many forums have the ability to mark a section of text as a spoiler, such that the text is blacked-out until you mouseover.

Why is he sad? He's Batman.

Yeah, 4K has become standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution#Digital_cinema

Because I prefer to take in the total forum culture, not just the parts I like.

Also I generally like your posts.

I just want to point out that the more popular idea, where Obi-wan leaves Ani in the lava and we never see Ani again, provides the user with convincing reasons as to why Obi-wan lies to Luke in ANH: "Oh, this guy named Vader, who I'd love to see dead, because he's the villain of this film, HE killed your father, definitely not me the only guy around who can set you on the right path. Definitely wasn't me! It was that bad guy!"

So, you'd be losing that.

Well, the whole thing was inspired by the LOTR EE DVD's so I am trying to emulate them as close as possible, while adapting the format to being Star Wars-y.

 The only reason the LOTR EEs were split was because of length. The EE Blu-rays are not split. The intermission in those films was a matter of necessity, and not an artistic choice. When you make a Star Wars EE Blu-Ray, are you going to put a slight green color over the whole film?

Ok, what is with the aint it cool guy constantly writing "OB1" instead of  "Obi-Wan"? Annoying. 

That's a very old fan theory sticking around in his vocab.

 The "OB1" was Ben's clone designation theory? That is an oldie.

 Yeah, but that's definitely where it comes from.

Surely Rinzler knows?

I had never put the pieces together with the SOTE explanation for the ROTJ hair. I agree that I don't think it was ever explicitly stated, but it does make sense.

There are rumors that Ardnt is actually secretly working on the script for VIII now.

 That would make a lot of sense.

Script not thrown out, but decided to be more suited to the second episode of the ST, perhaps?

 Right, but reworked to be more appropriate for a middle-of-a-trilogy film.
