On scale: reminder that the original end of the Saga was a small scale skirmish in a forest, while “Death Star 2, yes we’re actually calling it that” happens in the space above, and then this song plays.
The only thing really climactic about it was the hero and villain’s Jedi confrontation. I think all we can do for TROS is try to fine tune that same aspect of the story, and we’ve probably got it as good as we’re gonna get so far.
Fair point. It wasn’t until the Special Editions that we actually got to see the effects all this had on the galaxy at large.
Speaking of which, didn’t we add planets like Naboo to the sequence in TROS? That’s also something.
