The title crawl remains blissfully crisp in the film. Luke’s hero shot on the TaunTaun is relatively faithful to the film and Hoth looks just as cold on both versions.

This opening scene matches almost perfectly, except that Vader and the anxious Admiral never face each other against a background of stormtroopers! Instead, they have the nerve to walk and discuss things like normal people do.

Nice article, but theirs one mistake. Luke is riding a TaunTaun not a Wampa.

I was going to say the same thing! Fun article, though. I'm actually amazed at how close some of the old-school screenshots are to their film counterparts. If only the games had been as close. (Or maybe not, in Spider-Man 3's case!)

Yea amazing how games and films are crossing over - just did an item and nice compilation video containing quite a few of these on personalizemedia dot com. Item is entitled "Cinematic Game Renaissance - Game Now Leading Film?" - nice uTube vid embedded about the convergence of games and films...

The Star Wars game text crawl picture looks like "A Meh Hope" at the top.

Check out the Godfathers scenes,
they are pretty exact, even the voices come pretty close too.

Great Article all and all.

Heh, Sandmanâs dead-eyed gaze. That phrase encompasses my feelings on Spider-Man 3 game. I'm still afraid of having nightmares from those caricatures renderings of the characters.

The Super Star Wars movies look like crap in the title crawl.

You seriously confused a Taun-Taun with a Wampa? You have failed. Go burn your geek card and start being cool.

Predator image is from the scene where they set a trap in a clearing; near the "start of the end" if you will. right before Poncho gets a tree in the gut. Ouch!
