I’ve looked again at snooker’s ideas for Jedi, and from the sequence above, I’m convinced it would work.

But skip the Ewoks completely if possible. The main problem with that is having Luke go to Vader. Perhaps he just takes off in the shuttle right after the rebels land?

Sharing some images of what I’ve been playing with:

The last one is a replacement for the cave matte painting, using backgrounds from Battlefront. The shuttle on the forest also came from there.
Just playing around a little, might be good inspiration for others.
