^ Yeah, I can understand that perspective. It’s just that something about the desert scenes on Tatooine just seem more “cinematic” to me, whereas ROTJ Endor scenes have this boring, fan-film-adjacent vibe to me. But that’s very subjective I suppose. Maybe it’s just because I think deserts are more interesting than forests, or I’ve seen lots of fan-films where they just shoot out in the woods because they see it as easily accessible production value. It also tracks with Lucas’ overall fatigue in ROTJ. He used to seek out “exotic” locales in Norway and Tunisia. For ROTJ he was like “let’s just get on the interstate and drive upstate”
