This kinda makes me want to bring back this thread: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/A-Collaborative-Star-Wars-Saga-Edit/id/60169
I appreciate that this came to mind for you!
Although a lot of these ideas would be hard to practically do, I don’t these type of mock-ups should be discouraged. I remembered going through all of the two hundred plus pages of this thread just looking at Bingowings’ mock-ups and others. They really spark your imagination, and I think snooker and paja are continuing that tradition.
To me, the best thing would be for them to just keep experimenting with ideas like they have been, and also they’re getting practice from making these mock-ups. Eventually, either paja or snooker or another person will come up with ideas that are really doable that could be implemented.
Personally, I really like the idea of replacing a lot of the ship displays in the prequels with old school motion graphics. I remember Aalenfae forever go posting videos that implemented this concept, and I think it could be a great way to bridge the trilogies.
