I think that's my biggest gripe is that they are merely dots on the horizon when it would be nice to tell that they are star destroyers (yes, Han tells me that, but I'd like to see them)

In this case, though, if they were clearly visible, it would become a 'master of the obvious' moment. If they're just dots (and the passengers are thinking 'what is that?'), then Han is looking at the instruments and telling his passengers 'star destroyers ahead.' If everyone could see them, it would be like 'no kidding, Han...'

umm.. YEAH... like those moments have never happened in STAR WARS? Besides, isn't it Chewie who tells him and then Han barks back: "Star Destroyers.. Yeah, Chewie, I see them!"

Kinda like a "no kidding, Chewie.."?

I really think I'm gonna have to break out some booze to go with this weed...

re: Gavin77:
maybe it's not so much a downgrade as bad copies... you know those clones.. copies of a copy, of a copy, of a copy...
(so would that make Stormtroopers like a 100th Xerox scan? Maybe they just need to fix their copier)

re: Bingowings (I think):
well, you COULD do a fan-edit where one or more of the main characters die, but that would almost be a parody or a really tough edit. I still think that Lando could go in RETURN (to touch on that) but at the same time I do love him escaping by the skin of his teeth, making it a really good "feel good" moment. And this is STAR WARS. By the time you get to "teddy bears conquering the Empire" I don't think anything is going to make that fact any more serious or palatable.

Unless Ady has the Death Star explosion destroy Endor in the following shock wave.... maybe take some scenes from DEEP IMPACT or the like (as DS chunks fall from the sky)?
