When Colin Cantwell popped over on the discussion side of the forum, it reminded me of the Solo deleted scene where one of his designs got cut. If the TIE Fighter half of the Naval Academy deleted scene was able to be recreated from scratch, who here thinks it would be worth the effort to do?

Really in that half, you still don’t really see Han being an amazing pilot, unless you count him managing to crash land into a hangar and surviving (which I guess is a very Han thing to do). You could add more to the “dogfight”, but would too much make it too obvious that is isn’t ILM-level CGI?

Basically I had the idea to replace the TIE interior shots with TIE interior footage from 4K77 (Similar to what they did with Red and Gold Leader for Rogue One). Then use the TIE cockpit POV shots, rotoscope the windows out, then use either a Star Destroyer model OR this Cantwell’s Arrestor Cruiser model this guy made if he has it available anywhere to show where Han is flying toward.

And instead of using the TIE/rb (TIE Brute) since I can’t find any models for it, I thought it would be cool to use EC Henry’s TIE Vector concept in its place.

The scene would also need a new voiceover as well for whoever Han is talking to.

It would require a bit of work (especially for myself considering I have never done 3D animation work before), but I think it is possible. I just wanted to see what the consensus was on if this scene is really worth it or not. What are the pros and cons, basically.
