Just saw the movie.

What a good ending.

Bingo's identity, revealed!

Well...you can love the Old EU that's for sure...

Everyone knows that Mindharp of the Sharu is the best.

R2 looks white and black, to me. Anyone else see that?

He's supposed to. A standard blue R2 unit was an obvious problem for the bluescreen shots in space, so a black R2 was used for those shots.

Also, would the buildings in the shot about need to be altered to match the ones in the new shot below?

I would also ask: should the buildings in the "Slave 1 taking off" shot be angled the way they are (as opposed to more level, as indicated by the red line)?

BTW, love those new clouds...

The buildings should be more flat, like you say, if they're taller than the platform, and how they are or having an even greater curve if they're level with or below the building.

Pretty sure they're below it.

They do this every year, and I remember going once when I was young (10-14, somewhere in that range). They do indeed play the big Star Wars themes, although I don't know what (if any) prequel bits they've included since those films debuted. I don't think I'll be going this year, but maybe I should consider returning to see what it's like now. They also play, as the blurb notes, plenty of other movies' themes - I think I remember Superman from back then, but it was a long time ago, so who knows.

Now if we can get Vader to say 'Bring my Shuttle' I'll be extremly happy.

From the first post...

Restoring the "bring my shuttle" line

Planet replacement was, for better or worse, inevitable.

But wow does that model look good.

Holy cow how had we never noticed this before?

Definitely gives some ideas for ROTJ fanedits.

Yeah, it sounds like an error was introduced into English prints of the film that wasn't introduced into Spanish prints. Thus, it's the original recording, as intended by the director then.

No.

What's with the big blue ....thing?

It seems pretty obvious to me that halfway through the paragraph, she changed her mind about when Luke should learn Nellith's name.

I still don't understand why people would want the older quality versions when the better versions are on Blu-Ray now.  The tapes are still out there if you want to see the earlier versions.  If an artist puts his name on something he wants it to represent his original vision because he has to answer to criticism of that art. Then everybody calls you a terrible person for it.

"Better" is a very subjective term. Not everyone thinks that the modern effects and other changes are better.

2) You can't choose an entire series of movies (i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) Pick ONE movie from that series. (exception: The Lord of the Rings)

Under what criteria does LOTR get exemption?

 

It was filmed as a single film. By that logic, the Matrix sequels are one film.

"The Muppet Movie"

I've been seeing a lot of AT-AT replacement work in ESBR. How much of the original walker effects are intact? Most or all of the close-up walker vs speeder action?

Chroma-shift too?

I'm not a religious person, so religious allegories and symbolism mean nothing to me.

In film class, a teacher would point out during a movie, "Note the Christ-like imagery," and I would just shrug while teacher oohed and ahhed.

It just seems lazy to me; a crutch.  A director's story isn't strong enough on its own, so let's invoke Jesus.  That makes it deep.

If I wanted to watch a movie about Jesus, I'd watch Passion of the Christ or something.

I hope this post doesn't offend anyone; it's not intended as such.

What if the allusions had been to ancient myths or some other religion?

Yeah, I'm sorry I mentioned it.

If it included the missed grappling hook throw, it would be from an alternate universe...

I will be in Annapolis Aug 31-Sep 2.  But I won't have a car.

Guys, guys, I also live in Maryland.

I really can't believe they would actually replace it... it wouldn't make it any better and it would create a serious backslash from the public.

You just described the results of the alterations that's been done so far. ;)

Hardly. Most people don't care.

Remember that, if the screenshot is from ESB, the interior cockpit set was too big to fit into the exterior model.

Oh wow, with the different-plastic bottom. I haven't seen those in years.
