Hey zackg_. Thanks again for your input.
Doesn't the fact people are doing the white paper fix on the eyelenses, to more accurate results, point out that work should be done at the factory?

You need to keep waiting for the ROTJ Vader. Sounds like that's the one you want.

 

[asgardianboy]

Why?

[asgardianboy]

Chest armour on this new Vader seems flush with the chest, unlike RO.
Am I right?

[TonTon]

Why?

Cause of everything on your list. Anakin reveal, light-up chest box, etc.

 

[zackg__]

What about LED effects?
Do you guys use them a lot?

Never. Pain in the butt

As far as the redness goes, the rogue one is far better. So improvements were made

I've always felt the amber/red lenses in ANH is a bit overplayed and embellished.

Comic books did that mostly. And bad transmissions of the movie. You don't see people wanting transparent boxes floating around their TIE fighters.

The amber eyes on ANH Vader were as subtle as the green lens on Stormtrooper helmets. It's nice to know its there but no one wants a green-eyed trooper. Red-eyed Vader is equally incorrect.

I think they're more apparent in ANH than others here, but even so they were no where near as red as they were made to be in RO.

Hey HT, where are the Vader red digital readout lenses from Revenge of the Sith, make this happen ?!? i'm kidding

R1 they were, but it wasn't very discernible to me in ANH. I think they look more black than amber.

RO red-eyes were reflections from his lava-house. A deliberate nod to fans of the red-eye syndrome. He didn't have them in any other scene.

They were red pretty much the whole Imperial Cruiser "boarding party" scene too, but then that last close up, after he's finished doing his Wolverine bezerker impression and he's watching the Tantive fly away, they're black.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They were red pretty much the whole Imperial Cruiser "boarding party" scene too, ...

Everything was red in that scene... but his eyes were shadowed and not red... I just watched it. Perhaps there's a frame from a saber flash but he doesn't have red eyes.

Red eyes is a myth like the blue jacket.

 

[TonTon]

The scene before. When he had the line about the boarding party.

 

[hokietwo]

Vaders lenses in Star Wars were not red like the color red, it was a amber color. The red is exagerated. I have the EFX legend Vader helmet that is supposed to be close to screen colored much like the SL Vader helm and it's definitely not red.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The scene before. When he had the line about the boarding party.

What is supposed to be in his eyes? I wouldn't say those are red eyes. You guys are nuts.

 

[TonTon]

Neither of those are the scene I'm talking about. One is just a promo shot too.

Definitely check out the scene, they're like that pretty much the entire time. He's looking out onto the space battle.

Anyhow, I can see why HT went heavier on the red lenses for the Rogue One figure since most of his scenes in the movie have red reflections going on at the very least.

 

[Bluevoice]

I think Wor-Gar applied red eye correction to tease us.
