I understand it, ANH and ESB will now have a SD flying overhead for the opening shot...correct? So what will the opening shot be for ROTJ? I guess I just don't like the idea of having the "star destroyer flying overhead" shot for two back-to-back episodes and NOT for the 3rd...did that make sense?
That is correct. The back-to-back Star Destroyer openings had not occured to be before, but they are both different enough to not come off as repetitive.

Besides, the Star Destroyer openings are only a big deal if we choose to make it that way.

Exactly. There will be some "tradition" (for lack of a better word) thrown out in this project. This is not to say we don't care about it, just in the best interests in the best possible saga somethings will be altered, re-editied, or removed entirely.

This brings me to: what to do about the opening of RotJ? A pan down to Dagobah isn't exactly the most exciting way to start off the movie. The Emperor's arrival at the Death Star has been suggested, but most of the footage we'd need for that to work is to be used in ESB's opening. So I want to go back to a point mentioned WAY back when RotJ was first brought up in this thread, the arrangement of the Jabba scenes. It had been suggested that the Boush/Chewbacca scene start off the Jabba stuff, with C-3P0 edited out. This intrigued me as it would make the plan for Han's rescue make a lot more sense. However, my attempts at making that kind of re-ordering work were unsuccesful. Any ideas on how to make that work would be welcome.

Status of Episode I: Early rough cut phase. We've had to change some things that just didn't work out in the editing process. Special effects shots are still being finalized, and the sound/music mix is starting to be put together. We've got the framework for the film, but now comes the hard part: refinement.
