I much prefer the Legends design of the Eclipse. The curve is the part that’s really missing from this one.

I think this one is better. The curve made it feel like a PT ship imo. The sharp edges of this model reinforce the Empire’s sinister presence. I guess there’s two sides to everything.

Would it be okay if they still refer to the Star Destroyer as a “Battle-station”?

Yeah

I feel like it would then need to have significantly greater firepower than any other Star Destroyer for anyone to call it a battle station…and then you’re back to the giant death laser you’re trying to avoid.

Random Ideas:
Lift the Hyperspace ramming concept from The Last Jedi and have the Executor kamikaze the Eclipse after some sort of engine failure/malfunction.
Reinstate the droids motif from Empire. Does anyone know all of the tracks that the motif appears in?
JEDIT: I’ve also got the first and third paragraph of the crawl done but I have no idea what to put in the second one.
The alliance is doomed.
After the destruction of the
Rebel base, the Empire has declared
martial law throughout the galaxy.
???
Luke Skywalker has returned to
his home planet of Tatooine in
an attempt to rescue his
friend Han Solo from the
clutches of the vile gangster
Jabba the Hutt…

Eh…I don’t know. I prefer the actual crash from Return of the Jedi. The hyperspace ramming was really strange to me (and kind of broke SW physics to me). But if you think you can execute it well, by all means go for it!

Don’t feel like you need to use this idea at all, but I’m a lurker who is mostly here to see ROTJ edits, since I feel like that movie has some flaws that can be fixed. I saw another thread where they were talking about adjusting the crawl for ROTJ to make it seem like Luke had gone to visit Yoda in between Empire and Jedi:
The alliance is doomed.
After the destruction of the
Rebel base, the Empire has declared
martial law throughout the galaxy.
Torn over Darth Vader’s
revelations, Luke Skywalker
has returned to Dagobah
to refine his Jedi skills.
Meanwhile, he awaits
a summons from his friends [or those] preparing
to rescue Han Solo from the
clutches of the vile gangster
Jabba the Hutt…
Benefits:
-Luke’s progress is more believable, and his maturity makes more sense as well.
-By the time Luke shows up on Tatooine, we can assume he has got that summons and that’s why he’s now there.
-“No more have you to learn” makes a lot more sense as well.
-We get the idea that Luke and/or Yoda have been dodging the topic of Vader until the very end, underlining it’s importance to the characters and the story. Treating it casually they are not; it’s haunting them.
-Yoda’s death is a lot less random. We can assume his health had been declining the whole time Luke was training with him, and was just holding out over the short time that Luke went to go save Han.
-The “I’ve got a promise to keep to an old friend” line can stay, it’s expected that Luke wouldn’t leave Yoda behind without promising to return.
But this is just an idea. It is, I think, a really good (and simple) one, one that alters the tone of the film in the right way, and one that works with your edit. But don’t feel like you have to take it.
Anyway, I love the premise of your edit. The idea of making the ROTJ that Gary Kurtz would have done is a good one, and if done right could make a much stronger film.
P.S. The idea of Endor being Had Abbaddon’s sanctuary moon is a good one, and also fits in with the Gary Kurtz spirit. But this is your edit.
EDIT: It looks like discussion may have moved past that. If that’s the case…ignore the PS.
Nice visuals BTW

I won’t begin the movie with Luke being on Dagobah. I’ve never had a problem with Luke being a badass at Jabba’s palace, but thank you for your support!

Looks good to me. Also, I like the visual style of the edits so far. It kind of seems like a star wars film that was made in the early 90s.

Might be too late to ask, but why are you going to trim down Han Solo’s rescue so heavily? I think that some trims here and there are much needed, but I don’t know if it’s necessary to put it down to 20 minutes. I’m pretty biased towards darthrush’s edit, but it is really a fanedit you could look for inspiration upon. It trimms some things down here and there but his version is not that much shorter from the original, and not nearly as cheesy or stupid.
Have you ever given any thought to making Jabba’s Palace not be in Tatooine? Is that even possible? I think it’d be cool to see a new planet, and it’d take the rehashness away from your RotJ even more.

Don’t wipe away. Put it after the jabba escape it ruins the tension and pacing of the flim.

I second this. Always felt weird Jabba just happened to be from Tatooine. This shouldn’t be too hard to do considering the more radical changes/ say a different name in the crawl, cut Luke’s “I used to live here”, and recolor the sand and sky. Perhaps Nal Hutta?
The Eclispe model in action looks great. If you were stlll thinking about making the Executor lightspeed run, what if Piett ordered the attack? The officers have had enough of Vader’s chokings and realize the Eclispe will only bring about more destruction, so they scarifce themselves to stop it. Don’t know how’d you pull this off, but in a perfect world I’d like to see this.

And if your referring to v1 of my edit, I’d like to add that in v3 I cut Boba Fett from the Sarlacc pit battle and all of Salacious Crumb’s annoying laughing and some other bits too just to trim the silliness even more.
That in combination to other trims and cuts usually make for a nice, streamlined version of the Han rescue. An idea to cut it down further for this edit would be maybe removing the fight with the rancor.

darthrush, if it’s okay with you, can I just copy paste the Jabba section from your v3 edit into mine? I would give proper credit.
JEDIT II: Nevermind. I will take heavy inspiration but I won’t directly copy.
I don’t know why I said I would cut it down to 20 minutes.
JEDIT: And I don’t know about making it a different planet. Recoloring everything would look phony I think and I would have to rotoscope both r2 and 3po.

Don’t redo Tatooine. It would look really fake. Tatooine is just one of the things we’re stuck with.
