Oh BTW I have a suggestion about the line "I have a promise to keep for and Old Friend"

Should this now be moved to just before Luke gets to tattooine as he would then be refereincing Han probably cut the the word old though so it is Luke saying to R2 "I have a promise to keep to a friend"

This would also co-inside with "were meeting up with the others" just before this line removing the word not and then into tattooine atmosphere

Love it!

Ray, I see the logic in your statement, but my thought is this: the Rebellion has never been better off, but they are also a conglomeration of various factions and races and formerly independent resistance groups (hence: Rebel Alliance).  While they are able to supply many newer ships, they also realize that this battle is not simply a scrimmage.  They're throwing everything they've got against the Empire, old and new.  If they lose this battle, they really lose everything.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. But, like you've said, some people would be annoyed with the inclusion of PT stuff in the OT. I can take Addy adding the robot in the junk pile, because  to me it's just another robot- doesn't necessarily tie in to the PT really. But when PT spaceships show up in RotJ, my mind has to decide between "those are new fighters, like the A's and B's." or "The PT really happened and this is proof. Godamit I hate Star Wars." Now, the first option doesn't sound too bad, but it runs the risk of becoming like the opening of RotS, a big mess of all kinds of old and new ships everywhere and I dunno who's who. The Rebels have two new fighters on screen along with new capital ships. The Empire has a new fighter as well as the big Super Stardestroyer (not a new ship, but new to battle). I'd say RotJ has enough new space ships in the battle already.

 

When you put it like that it does make me think you are right.... Hmmm, anyway I am all for expanded space battle but lets tread carefully with the PT ships please
