JohnGreenArt said:I know Adywan said he's keeping the SE celebrations at the end of ROTJ, but in my opinon they just don't make sense.
First, the Rebels didn't have their forces spread out around all those locales to liberate them from the Empire, so having all the planets celebrate at the same time seems implausible. One could argue that the Emperor controlled through the dark side all his forced throughout the galaxy, so when he died the imperial forces were easy to defeat, but still seems unlikely.
Second, what does Tatooine have to celebrate? They were ruled by the Hutts, not the empire, and they were ruled by gangsters even when the Republic was in control in the prequel trilogy. What does the defeat of the empire mean to them?
Third, we never really see what impact the Empire has on regular people, so seeing celebrations by anonymous groups other than our protagonists just seems trite.
But if Ady wants to keep 'em, that's OK. I'm sure his version will be better than the SE no matter what.
I don't have a problem with the celebrations because I never saw them as happening at exactly the same time as the Endor celebrations.
As for Tatooine they were never part of the Republic but they were clearly swept up in the expansion of the Empire.
It was like a far flung province of the Roman Empire where local kings or chiefs were allowed to remain or placed into power as puppets (ahem) but the Empire still had over all control.
ANH showed Star Destroyers in battle over the planet and Stormtroopers in the streets of Mos Eisley (the Hutts wisely didn't get involved where as they might have done in days of the Republic).
I would have showed more planets and some damage to the buildings showing that the local uprisings weren't so easy.
I'm not sure if the Jedi Temple would be in such a pristine state by the time of Jedi (unless it was being used as a museum dedicated to the treachery of the Jedi in the old regime).
Another radical change to Jedi which might make the piece more believable would be instead of blowing up the shield generator the rebels switched it's focus so it protected a large area of Endor from the devastating effects of a large metal moon blowing up in close orbit.
