I always wanted to see the scene (shown only in concept art) of the B-Wings doing a proper bombing run on a Star Destroyer. If that appeared, it could blot out the traumatic memory of the stupid “resistance bombers” from TLJ. 😛

I always imagined that “both endings” from the original ROTJ (the personal celebration) and the SEs (the greater celebration) could be successfully worked together, either as a transition, or as the latter being re-situated as a post-credits sequence. Lots of fixes could be done in the action sequences to make sure hits look like they connect and R2D2’s dome isn’t so badly painted over (shades of the “Emperor’s Slugs”) plus tons of green matte boxes around ships in the space battle. About the only “SE” change I would keep though really is Oola’s death, but it’s not strictly necessary (but the wonderfully improved Rancor has to stay).

ESB:R was great. My only gripe with it (if you can even call it that), were those overly fuzzy lasers that the Snowspeeders were shooting at various points in the Hoth battle, that don’t look like they fit. Otherwise, great job. I’m a bigger fan of ROTJ than the other two classics, so I probably will disagree with some of the other changes, but I lived through Lucas’ nonsense, I’m sure I can stomach a few missteps on this too. 😉 And thank goodness we have the De-Specialized Editions in High Definition.

Good luck and MTFBWY!
