As a sort of lurker here who just about peed his pants when he saw the new DeathStar battle in Adywan's ANH, I just wondered if I could weigh in with a wish list of my own.

The Hoth battle was/is one of my most cherished silver screen memories, but it could have been sooooo much better with just a few additions. I would love to see something along these lines:

-A wave of TIE fighters and bombers preceding the AT-ATs, mixing it up in the air with a bunch of X-wings as they attempt to bomb the power generator. This could make for some interesting background filler for the remainder of the surface battle, and would make more sense from a military standpoint.... I mean, would they really send the AT-ATs in without some form of air cover?

-Luke is a moron. WHY WHY WHY would you repeatedly attack the AT-ATs from head-on, directly into their line of fire, when you could simply attack from the sides or behind with total impunity? This would involve a huge amount of work, I'm sure, but I'd like to see them attacking the AT-ATs from the sides/behind more, and being shot down/attacked by TIE fighters while the X-wings fly top cover. Luke could be shot down by a TIE fighter.

-Seeing some rebel transports being destroyed by a much bigger Imperial blockade. Maybe even seeing some transports being captured like the Blockade Runner in ANH.

-The rebel fleet could be larger at the very end.

Under the catagory of "Probably Impossible" are the following wishes:

-It sure would be cool to see the AT-AT's disembarking troops, somehow, prior to them entering the base.

-Landing the AT-ATs at an assembly area outside the shield, being covered by TIEs, then seeing them move out to start the assault.

For ROTJ, the two biggies are the complete and utter removal of the Ewoks, and the final space battle needs a total ROTS make-over, with 10 times the fighters and capital ships. The battle, literally, to end all battles!

A guy can dream, can't he? Thank you, Adywan, for keeping the SW dream alive!

Cheers,

Hig
