Yes. Thats one of the flaws with Empire, is that theres not enough Imperial presence on screen at any one time.

I think most people will agree on the build up to the attack on hoth is lacking, and perhaps looks like a budget cut on the imperials point of view, compared to the armada of of battle ships at the start of epiosde 3 or the death star battle of Jedi. Shots 12 and 13 could also do with populating on a greater scale, to show how the ion cannon cuts through the imperial attack to create an escape route for the rebel transport (as opposed to the one ship).

At first glance i thought you were over using the Execudor shots there but i can totally understand your reasoning when reading your suggestions (though i think the shot in 7 and 8 is too in your face as i think it would hang back from the first wave of attack akin to the japanise did with the Yamato battleship in WWII. I also always looked at that as being a shot from the bridge, until now, and i agree, it is really a port side window).

Sorry, the Bespin tie fighters are to me an un-needed destraction though, as the film works well enough without the need to tinker there.

Also 5 and 6 would be one of 'those' moments that really stand out from the original cut, and i would love to see that in one way or another.

Well done 005 and Imperial Fighter, even if nothing comes into fruitation in the end that was a great read/viewing. And I love seeing realistic ideas here that think outside the box, just without being 'outside' the box.
