I am not confused, I just don’t think it is needed now I have thought about it. It throws up more than about 5 questions.
Where as if it was silent you would only have 1 question which is simple and effective.
So I was talking about the Death Star Surface and then I Realised what about that old set that was a joint Lucusfilm & Disney project.
The Star tours footage from the original ride would be perfect to add perspective to the surface of the death star when it is just that flat grey smooth ball. There is probably lot’s of footage and outtakes from this that could easily be re-purposed for the death star surface and it is also a practical not digital effect. And it’s really superior to many of the backgrounds like below. And I also believe it was much bigger hence the perspective you get.
There is really no in between either you are right near the surface or you are really far away in Star Wars and you never really see the scope of the surface of the Death Star like you do in Star Tours.
Another example of the non detailed surface
Star Tours perspective of Death Star surfce
or perhaps cgi would be better.
Wouldn’t that require a Star Tours restoration?
Side note: I think I’ve said this before but Star Tours would be an awesome bonus feature, much like the Back to the Future Trilogy comes with BTTF: The Ride.
