...a little video of suggestions for Adywan the other month, if anybody cares to take a look:
(Fixed da linky - there was an extra space at the end)
I really like the idea of Vader having his saber lit up, and ready for action when he enters the base.
On a slightly off-topic, techie note: Why was the frame rate of the video so...bad/weird?
I like the idea of Vader being more willing to kill in the shots, though I don't think having him have the lightsabre on is a very subtle way.
Remember OT is almost medieval-like in some aspect (before PT came up with more shit), with knights, princesses, etc. I always figured out that, unlike the Jedi, Vader only drews his sabre against other knights; as if only someone of his status deserves to die by his blade. A rather superb, an ancient-regime thought btw, something that someone over confident and fond of his ego like vader or any sith could believe. In fact, I think that's something that could be eventually pulled out as an interesting line in future PT:R.
We see Obi Wan attack the guy in the cantina with his sabre. Luke uses his sabre for chopping out the AT AT in Hoth, and later he uses it in the whole Jabba thing. But we never see that of Vader.
Those who are "lesser beings" always die choked, or in some other way that doesn't imply the sith lord moving a finger.
Again, a very medieval thought, and an interesting approach to what Jedi and Sith could believe of knighthood.
But even if this video is nice and insteresting, there's one thing I don't really like, cause it brings Vader down to real life. It's between 1:23 and 1:26, when he walks and has to evade an obstacle, passing between two pillars of the base. I always felt that part, even in the theatrical release, looks ackward and TVish. NOTHING can stand in vader's way if we don't want him to become some quotidian villain.
Greetings!
Hi all Revisited fans
My first Post on here but, like some of these ideas on the video posted above... I know what people are saying about vader walking through the base with his lightsabre on but I actually think it does make him more scary and menacing so well done on that, it does work in this respect even if people feel it is not aesthically correct for vader to do so. I Like the troops disembarking because it was a very fresh idea.

I have posted on the you tube channel for revisited but thought I would post my idea here to also see what others think of seeing vaders shuttle approach towards the end of the Hoth Battle.with reference to Vader getting to Hoth to Enter the Base he Obviously arrives via Lamda Shuttle probably with Tie Escorts. A Vader shuttle reveal might work in the scene immediatley after the AT-AT destroyed by luke falls over... there is a shot of an AT-AT shooting at troops fleeing [5.01 REF VID]. Perhaps to see the Shuttle with tie escorst in the far distance in this shot and they could be travelling from the right to the left and down in formation and then turning towards still in the distance with escort ties departing up this should be only very subtle though. The final shot of the shuttle only should be after the line "distance to power generators" it then cuts to the scene of the AT-AT shooting the snow speeder... [5.11 REF VID] Basically the shuttle should pass behind the AT-AT but fairly medium distance and carry on off screen to the left and this would make it look as if the snow speeder was attempting to pursue the shuttle only to be shot down by the AT-AT as it turns to chase. I think this would up the ante because the general has it in mind that he has already told vader to make his approach and the shield would be down in momments.
We will then have the new footage of the destroyed power generator model which presumably will cut to han and leia falling over after the explosion then running through the tunnel past c3po.
[5.55 REF VID] Immediatley after this, take the added docking bay executor scene from the ESB SE 2004 For Vader returning to the Executor from Bespin (which is being omitted I hope) and composite as foreground element only the Shuttle when Landed shot of vader walking off the shuttle. The background matte could be of the smoldering shield generator model Adywan has meticulously put together or destroyed for that matter ; with perhaps some snow troopers and a cut and paste AT-ST from ROTJ to come into frame as the camera pans and Vader walks down the ramp onto Hoth the best AT-ST could be the one that Han radio's in from to finally get into the ROTJ shield generator for the death star on Endor. I say put an AT-ST in the background only because we saw it marching ahead earlier when luke hits the ground The AT-ST Should shoot after it's head turns to either blow open a hole or door if that footage could be used. Finally Resume the footage of the rebel base invasion with Vader and the snow troopers coming in after the explosion. The Docking bay footage should probably flip so it looks like new footage but the feet of the AT-ST are not visible so some rocks or somthing might be needed to hide that in the composite....or whatever would work best. I feel these additions if they would work would truly bring Vader into the Battle on Hoth because for me it's a big gripe and I have thought long and hard about a way of possibly Bringing Vader Down to Hoth instead of just appearing out of nowhere. Sorry but do not have the skill to do this video compositing but if anyone wants to give this idea a try then great! Or thinks they have a better way to do it?
Even if there is another way to bring Vader down without adding too much it would be good to see.
I hope Vaders shuttle leaving Bespin flying towards the executor stays in this edit of ESB because of Continuity also.
I cannot wait to see the final version of the hoth battle even if none of this stuff happens to be in the final edit. Just hoping it will be equivalent to what Adywan did with battle of Yavin
