It would be great to see old Ben back on Tatooine where the story began (from a certain point of view) one more time.

Shame it couldn't be back at Ben's old hermitage.

 

surely that could work? if someone were to move him to tatooine, like somethingstarwarsrelated did, they could make a matt of bens homestead based on the one we see in ANH? the x wing could even land there?

 

The difficulty is moving the actor's around the set in a realistic fashion.

Ben might be doable (he is a ghost so the audiance expects a small degree of missmatch, but to do look right you'd have to get a real actor in a real set and mix in Mark's performance in a convincing way.

More hybrid fan film/fan edit action, not impossible but really hard work to pull off.

This is a really rough knock up but it can be done is the background is in sync with the foreground image which is hard enough to do with one frame but even harder in a long sequence.

Ben's Ghost

 

That's why I've suggested outside...at night...it would be much easier to make it look convincing. The lighting would basically be the same. If Adywan could change out the Tatooine skies in ANH:R and make it look seemless...well, I bet he could pull off the Tatooine night skies...

It might be easier but then you lose some of (if not most of) the point moving the location.

The strength of the idea comes from being in the same room where the journey really began. He was given his father's sabre in that room he took on his father's quest in that room, now he is building his own sword and starting his own quest in the same room and in that room he gets the final part of the story Ben started to tell him all those years ago.

Outside looking up at the suns would have only some of that power.

Once again however don't underestimate the power of the fan film maker.

The plans of the simple set and lots of photographic resources are on record and it could be remade and refilmed to match the Dagobah sequence by a skilled camera man and Lukes glove could be replaced with a different hand but it's a LOT of work.
