This is my first concept, the extended battle of Endor. I tried to distribute the new clips throughout the original battle footage instead of clumping them together into one long extended battle section, to not destroy the pacing. Also, when it cuts to the shimmering water, that signifies a cut to the Endor ground battle or Luke’s duel.

It’s still very rough at the moment, with really only visuals and some music. I didn’t want to get too far along with adding everything yet and have it turn out a lot of stuff doesn’t work, or have someone else suggest a completely new idea.

I used Battlefront II footage, the Lost Starfighter, Eckhart’s Battle of the Dreadnaughts, and a few other VFX test projects. I plan on using dialogue from different Star Wars games, including dialogue of Wedge saying to take out the two Star Destroyer towers on the bridge from one of the Rogue Squadron games. I believe that once some of the dialogue is in the place, the new battle footage will be a lot easier to follow in terms of what’s going on.

I would love suggestions on how I should keep color correcting the new footage. So far I’ve generally decreased contrast, slightly increased saturation and added a slight blue tint, but I would love more specific suggestions on how to make it look closer to the real ROTJ footage (i.e. decrease contrast more, less brightness, add a bit of grain, add a bit of a sharpen filter, etc.).

Any advice to help make the final product all blend seamlessly into the final movie is much appreciated! And I would also really appreciate it if someone with more VFX experience could help a bit, mainly in adding background ships to the footage from the Lost Starfighter. It looks kinda weird to suddenly go from a dozen star destroyers to one in the span of a few seconds. Even slightly blurry 2D images would probably work.
