Damaged jet pack appears in RotJ SE before skiff scene

Hey Tyler no fair! I thought it was decided that the lights weren't on at all. Then you come up with that Photoshopped pic. That's not right. :lol:

I know it sounds funny, but actually the chest lights were lit in the Jabba's Palace scene, just that for some reason, it's difficult to see them in ROTJ. I believe that the chest light display was the same, except that in this case (just like most of ESB pics) we lack of info on the chest lights, in comparison with ESB.

The contrast is really high on that second set of pics, making the colors look a bit more clowny than they really are.

I can set you up with a kit of one of these. Just email me impervium@aol.com

Just when you thought this topic had covered everything it was set out to, I found yet another little nugget of interest in one of the pics.

Have you noticed it yet? The beacon isn't lit up. You can tell from the Archieve picture I posted earlier that the damaged jet pack has a solid beacon (not even painted around the middle), but it made me think that I don't recall ever seeing the beacon lit in RotJ. Now the jet pack used at MoM and AoSW has a hollowed top on it (unlike the damaged one), but I still don't recall ever seeing it lit up in the movie.

is not the beacon, the light comes from other place, maybe from the wall check this pic

I will have to re-read the Tale of the Bounty Hunter tonight, but that damage on the pack could've come from when Boushh, 4Lom and Zuckuss ambushed Fett. There was a fight above Tatoonie before Fett was able to deliver Solo to Jabba.

That could be where the damage came from and why it appeared damaged before the sarlaac and why Han was able to set it off so easily as someone else mentioned, but if that is the case how come it worked so well getting from the sail barge down to the skiff?

Ohhh.... you are gonna have to prove that one DV1. From what I can see, it appears that the chest lights were lit in all the indoor (no skiff) RotJ publicity scenes but not in the actual film...

As with what Tyler posted above here are three publicity photos I have, all showing the lights lit, but I challenge you to show me a screencap of the lights lit, from the movie. There are a number of times Fett is in relative darkness and the lights should be obvious but they simply don't appear to be there. If I am wrong, I'll be glad to be corrected but I don't think so...

On a side note, isn't it interesting that Jeremy has amost the exact same pose in image 2 and 3?

Secol, as Lynn said, they are publicity shots. They are meant to look like they came from the movie but you will not find a screencap of that quality.
 
.::EDIT::.
Ok i take the screen caps, i cant see lights, my copies of the movie are divx files, so the quality isn't the better :eek:

::::::::::
but the 2nd pics is from the movie
maybe a cut part
check the jawa...its in motion
if you see ROTJ the camera angle is different but the scene is the same :)
i just check this last night, i will try to take a snapshot.
im very sure that second comes from the set in production :)
 
srry to burst all you costumers bubbles, but if you have or sell a ROTJ jet pack it is mostlikly inacurite. there is a huge gouge in bobas jet pack! it can only be seen if you watch the sceans in slow motion. i origionaly noticed it in the newly added scean where boba toches rystals chin and thought it was a newly added detail, but! if you play the scean that han hits bobas jet pack (origional scean) and play that in slow you can see it there to. what i have seen of ROTJ jet packs, none have this drastic detail. check it your self. your best bet of seeing it is in the widescreen version of the dvd's. dont bother with this change in your jet pack if it doesnt bother you. its no big deal.

by the way I know I suck at gramer.
