adywan said:The Death Star at the end of ROTS was totally unnecessary and wrong on so many levels. So it took them 20 years to build the Death Star 1 but only 3 to build the second one? come on. Totally gone in Revisited.
I am toying with the idea that we don't see vader in the PT but I'm probably more inclined to give Vader a better role at the end. I want to see him hunting down and killing some of the remaining Jedi at the end not the stupid wimp screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Also i never understood why the hell he needs a lifesupport suit when all that happened was he got burned. His lungs wouldn't have been affected. I'm going to be adding something that explains why he has to breath artificially when i get to ROTS:R
One way of keeping the Death Star in would be to show both being built together but one more complete than the other.
It would make sense that Palpatine would, eventually want at least one Death Star for each of the provinces he gives control over to the Governors, building just one and handing it over to someone like Tarkin is inviting him to use it to take over the Empire himself (but perhaps Palpatine intended to rule the Galaxy in the same dog eat dog manner as the Sith work), if he built more than one at once there would be another one to keep the ambitions of the Governors in check (it would also bring back the great idea of two Death Stars being built from the earlier draughts of Revenge Of The Jedi).
But it would make more sense to get the Imperial fleet built first so seeing Star Destroyers being constructed is fine by me.
As for Vader's lungs however they would certainly be damaged (presumably Vader used the force to keep himself alive while he waited to be rescued).
People who are trapped in house fires may suffer from smoke inhalation independent of receiving skin burns; however, the incidence of smoke inhalation increases with the percentage of total body surface area burned.
Vader receives massive burns to almost all of his remaining body and the heat and smoke would have been much more intense than in any house fire and would have effectively written off his lungs so I have no problem with him being stuck in the black suit after such a series of injuries.
I would love to have seen Vader in his suit in a fight or two and if you can see a way of pulling that off it would be grand.
My earlier idea of giving Threepio a very different voice in his junk days (still the same traits of panic and apparent cowardice but in a used car sales man manner instead of a fussy butler...once again returning an early draught concept into the saga) you could dub any lines in there and use him to bend the story into much more interesting areas but as always it's your project and you go where you want to with it and I don't know how I'm going to cope while I'm waiting to see you efforts come to fruition.
P.S. while writing this a number of my points have been taken up by other people...what can I say...I'm just a very slow typist.
