This is certainly the truth, MTH. While the rest of us may chime in with ideas of what direction could be taken with certain plot points, in the end, you're the one doing the work, InfoDroid, and in the end, it's your name on the movie, not the rest of ours. We may each have our own ideas, but you're ther man putting it all together, guiding and shaping your own vision of what the Star Wars universe is about.

If we can reinsert the reference that a pilot makes to Luke's father before flying off to Yavin -- this will have power to it.


If anyone can find this footage in its entirety, I definitely want a copy. I believe you're referring to the scene in the hangar on Yavin with Biggs and Red Leader, where Red Leader says that he saw Luke's father fly, and if he's half the pilot his father was, he'll do okay. This scene was, of course, cut down when added to ANH in the SE, and I haven't been able to come across a complete, uncut version of the scene. I'd been hoping to use it in my own project, inserting it as a bridge to a flashback sequence that would show Anakin's skill as a pilot in the opening space battle in ROTS. That would then segue into the battle at Yavin.

Anyway, I'd love to see this footage in its entirety someday. If even the audio alone of the unabridged line can be found, we'll all have a big piece to play with for our subsequent projects.
