The Empire Strikes Back
Last night I decided to watch Empire Strikes Back, so I popped it in my VCR, and began to view. I did notice a few things, and was wondering what evertyone else thought. Here it goes:
1. Do you think that Lucas will eventually replace the original holo of the Emperor with a newer version with Ian McDiarmind, and his voice?
2. While on the topic of holograms. . . do you think he will retouch the other holo’s existing in ESB. . . namely Vader?
3. At the end of the film, while on the Executor. . . I noticed something that has evaded me all these years. Is there a sequence in which the negatives were reversed? When Vader and Piett are talking about the hyperdrive on the Falcon being deactivated, and it being in range shortly, I belive the negative is reversed. In this scene ALL of the Imperial officers have their rank badges on the right of their chest. As well all know, the officers have their rank badges on the left side, and this is the only instance that I know of where thy are on the right.
4. I am going to go back and watch it again tonight, but I couldn’t remember if Piett’s rank badge changes during the film. We all know Captain Piett becomes an Admiral when Ozzel is relieved of his duties by Vader. I forgot to check if his rank badge reflects this change. It is a minor detail, and it completely slipped my mind until I saw the ‘reversed badge’ scene
Just wondering who else has noticed these tidbits, and what your thoughts were on McDiarmind appearing in any future releases of the film.
