shanerjedi said:On gripe I have with the PT is the sheer number of landing pad scenes. It's like Lucas fell in love with showing a ship landing in the OT and went overboard on it with the PT. We don't need to see a ship take off and land. be more creative. Maybe show a landing from the cockpit for once...or better yet, cut to the ship already parked...shocking
This is totally correct. I don't know how many behind the scenes pictures I have seen of a landing ramp of a ship on a green screen set.
We have discussed in other threads the small cut scene where Vader and Luke walk down a shuttle ramp and walk across the hanger bay in ROTJ. Luckily, the editor of ROTJ had enough sense to cut it out. The film has too many landing ramp scenes as it is.
