Yes there was a ~15 second sequence where the special effects were REALLY
wobbly. (Jabba's sand yacht heading to the pit). You can see break-up of the
scenery around the edges of the yacht.
Speaking of special effects, when I went the reserved tickets bought by a
friend were front row centre (I think he may be a bit myopic) and I spent
most of the emporer's chamber scene marvelling at the amount of stuff that
was digitized (thas right *T*V*) You can see the dots on ALL the scenery/set
...a lot of work went into that film!... by looking at the dots in the credits
and making some VERY rough estimates, I figure the screen is about 3000-4000
dots wide...any comments or corroboration (sp?)
(note no dots on the people, which presumably means a combination of digital
and analog techniques)
