Adywan, I want to apologize in advance if I sound like I'm beating a dead horse, but I'd like to discuss the giant wind vane inside Cloud City a little further. That brief wideshot of the vane and the concept that the carbon freezing chamber is supposed to exist inside of it has always bothered me. Speaking as someone who has studied engineering, structurally it doesn't make any sense and even if it did it's ridiculously convoluted and inefficient to put the chamber in such a remote location with only one access pathway to and from it. It's been discussed earlier by others that the chamber should be in the wall and the tunnel Luke walks through could be the support arm to the vane. This has been my long held belief as well. Others have also suggested raising the position of the support arm to the vane so it's at the same level as the circle window to reinforce this opinion. You have already vetoed this suggestion, which is your right.
I have another suggestion I hope you would consider. Instead of changing the position of the support arm how about changing the position of the window, the pod, and the gantry? Lower all three of these items farther down on the vane so the window is at the same level as the arm. This change would not compromise the current design of the vane nor would it compromise the close up shots of Luke and Vader on the gantry. You might have to add a couple extra inches to the gantry in the wideshot since the vane is wider at the bottom and I would eliminate the alarm you hear in the background once Luke exits the tunnel. I don't know how difficult all this would be for you to change, but I believe lowering the window, the pod, and the gantry would please all sides. Those of us who believe that it makes more sense for the chamber to be in the wall get the correction which then makes the vane shot more logical and those who think that the chamber should always remain inside the vane can continue to believe that since you've moved the pod also. It's a win win. Of course the final decision is yours to make, Ady. Thank you for your time and for listening to our feedback, Adywan. Keep up the good work.
