On your edit, try putting the "Luke dragging Vader to shuttle bay" scene after the Executor is destroyed. The editing is still a little off in that the scene above feels plunked in - maybe if there was a more natural back-and-forth (regardless of whether we see Luke actually leave).

I just tried your suggestion, but while they do feel better together as they originally were, it makes it so you go straight from "That was too close" to Wedge flying out. I tried to give the fighters more time to fly into the DS by moving the Executor forward, and give Wedge enough time to fly out by having Anakin's death there.

loved the clip, i like how sudden the explosion is. i was wondering, if you chose to do a verison 2, inserting ackbars 'shocked' look that he has when the death star explodes, maybe so there is an on screen reaction to 'that blew up a bit quicker than i imagined'.

I had tried moving Ackbar's depressed fall back into his chair from when the Executor falls to the end there, but he was standing at a railing yelling to move the fleet away, then back in his chair really quick. I love the idea and I'm sure it could be done (I'm thinking with an all new end to the Executor, you could matte the DS in the shot of him looking at the Executor and cut to him being depressed). It also doesn't fit in with my fade from white to Endor.
