Can we please re-insert Luke building his saber and Vader calling to him? There are restored versions, with replaced mattes and all and they look pretty good!

The rebels storming the shield generator would be a great addition too.

Ewoks shooting blasters would be pretty great as well - I saw someone insert scenes from the old Ewoks movies and it worked pretty well. The hardest part will be making the image quality consistent throughout the film.

Vader fading away after he dies would be pretty cool too. I’ve seen this done in a few fanedits before.

Another great idea,
which I’ve also seen done before, is to put Luke on Dagobah in the very beginning of the movie. This really tightens up the timeline imo (this would require a crawl change as well)

Anyway, these are just a few ideas. Good luck, looks interesting!

The first three ideas I’m all looking into. I would love to know where I can find restored versions of the lightsaber building deleted scene, those would be excellent resources. The Rebels storming the shield generator is also something I’m definitely adding in, there’s a version on youtube with VFX and SFX that I’d use. In regards to Ewoks shooting blasters, there will small snippets where they do that, replacing them using sticks and rocks. I plan on using Adywan’s ROTJ revisited as the starting point for this edit once it comes out. There will be Rebel ground combat on Endor, so I plan on almost entirely removing the Ewoks from the battle outside of when they initially saved the captured Rebels. Hopefully Tydirium is also released soon, as I can use that infantry combat action as well and hopefully have a trooper battle that rivals the Battle of Scarif.
