Both Solo and Rogue One did a decent job at making OT Stormtroopers seem intimidating and a credible threat.

?

You mean the stormtroopers killed with random blind shots or with a stick in Rogue One ? I thought they were quite consistent with stormtroopers seen in RotJ/TFA/TLJ (but not with AotC/RotS/ANH/TESB).

Yes, I felt the Stormtroopers in Rogue One were intimidating. In fact they ‘hit the targets’ so thoroughly that our band of goodies got wiped out. They definitely seemed more deadly than the ‘best’ troops on Endor.

Chirrut was on another level of force-sensitive badassery, and I didn’t have any issue with him ‘incapacitating’ (I don’t know if he actually killed them) a small squad of Stormtroopers. It’s a trope that we’ve seen in a thousand samurai and martial arts movies. The marshalling of ‘Chi’ that enables Chirrut to take down the heavily armed adversaries.

Then again, I grew up watching Roger Moore 007 take out 6 foot heavies with a gentle karate chop to the shoulder blades so maybe I’m not the best person to judge!

the Emperor’s line “an entire legion of my best troops awaits them”.

For all these years I’ve heard that line as “base troops” and thought it was a little odd…
But as you point out, “best troops” doesn’t make much more sense given how cr*p they are against teddy bears.

Well Ady is already planning to reshoot big chunks of the Endor battle to include more rebel badassery. I’m sure there are a number of 501st guys who would be happy to be included to make the troopers seem a bit more capable and formidable as well.

The stormtroopers aren’t intimidating in R1 and Solo, the Empire is intimidating.
The Empire is at a part of it’s existence where their policy is scorched earth, our way or the highway. They’re kinda like the Russians in WW2, they got some cool toys but mostly they’re poorly trained and armed conscripts and if you have to deal with 300,000 soldiers on a planet you send 3,000,000 soldiers at them and 75% of those guys are going to die but you’re going to achieve your goal. By the time of ANH they’re pretty comfortable in what they’ve done and the compliance it has fostered and the slack is setting in.

I’m sure Ady is pretty set on his additions and changes now, but I thought I might throw out one other idea.

At the end of the final space battle, I think a shot of Star Destroyers scattering into hyperspace would be an interesting addition. Not only would it give a little more context on what happened to the rest of the massive Imperial fleet (did the smaller rebel fleet destroy them all, did they surrender?), but it also could foreshadow the eventual return of the Empire as the reformed First Order in the next trilogy.

That sounds really cool, and idk how adywan is planning to shoot Endor scenes or if the 501st will be involved, but if he had imperial officer garb, it might be cool to use to have a star destroyer admiral say “Recall the fleet. The rebellion my have one this battle, but the war is not over…” (or something like that). Alternatively it could be easier to use you hyperspace idea, and have a few beats of the imperial march play just as they leave. Like you’d have to pick the right moment to cut to and the right part of the score to pick up an leave, but it could be extremely menacing.

Any chance we get the dice added to falcon cockpit scenes?

Oh and a scene of Lando kissing everyone (even the ewoks)at the end celebration, you know to show of his new-found sexuality.

Just watching ESBR at the moment and it does irk me a little that Leia said his name like Lando always does not to mention Threepio on one occasion. Maybe an audio snippet of how she normally pronounces his name should have been spliced over her odd pronunciation…

P.S. - is it still too early for spoilers?

Yes - far too early mate.

No spoilers in here, or anywhere outside the 3 ‘Solo spoiler threads’, linked to here:-

Thanks.

LOL, fair enough. 😃

Do you want to be in ROTJ:R?

Well here’s your chance…

Auditions for the B-Wing pilots are now open and here is how you can enter…

Just make a short video of yourself acting out a scene ( doesn’t have to be a scene from the films) as a Rebel pilot during a battle. If you can interact with someone off camera, as if you are communicating via comlink, then even better, as this will be happening during shooting. Then upload the finished video to youtube ( make sure you set the video to “unlisted” for your privacy) and send the link to the video to:

starwarsrevisited@hotmail.co.uk. (Mark it “B-Wing Audition” )

Now the only criteria that is set for this is that you must be able to be available for a weekends filming in Wolverhampton, UK, during October ( will likely be the second weekend in October) . You may be needed for both days filming, just in case any pick up shots are needed after reviewing the days footage. I am looking for 4/ 5 pilots, but even if you don’t make it into the final selection for a pilot, you could still be asked to be a reserve that would be able to help out on the day . Age, sex etc does not matter.

Videos need to be submitted by Monday 25th June and successful applicants will be notified shortly after to begin arrangements.

Your video will not be shown in public ( on the extra features for ROTJ:R ) if you so wish ( so please add a note to the video link email to express this)

GOOD LUCK 😃

And if anybody needs an English actor dubbed over with a Scottish guy doing an American accent that turns back to a Scottish one for the next film, I’m always available!

Just noticed an extremely bizarre editing mistake (at least I think its an mistake). When Palp gives the order to fire the DS laser, watch Luke. He is looking at the emperor and then to the window and then back, and repeats this exact action. I may be wrong but it looks like they looped it. Either way I don’t think I’m alone in thinking this is weird am I?

It does look a little weird, but rather than an editing loop like the Tusken Raider in ANH holding his gaffi stick over his head, this looks more like an awkward repetition of movement from Mark. As if he was told to act shocked and look back and forth from the threat to the target.

If it is looped they somehow managed to apply it to only part of his body (see how his gloved right hand moves for instance).

They told me they’d fixed it!

I don’t think it’s looped, although it does look similar. Luke’s head is in a different place the second time and he holds his right hand differently.
