Hey everyone!  I just found this on YouTube...an alternate version of the second Death Star Blowing up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWWK8N0W7rQ

It's not mine, but it does have a possibility.

Thanks for the compliment...but most of the peeps here have already seen my videos...I think.

:D

 

You're welcome...and I'm sorry that I didn't know sooner that was your YouTube account and that many of us had already seen your video.

I prefer the OT's clothing. By far.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Here (for those who have yet to see it) is Dave's video mockup of the Fett subplot, doing what he does best, getting paid twice for the same job and not getting killed.

 the thing is, since i'm so use to hearing this line, is that mon mothma said the data was brought to them by bothan spy's. its too hard to imagine bobba doing it, kinda corny. hey, if u wanna scene of him leaving, go ahead.

I bet ady is just gonna cut Boba so I wont be getting my hopes up for Lucas esque additions.

I imagine you are very familiar with every element of ROTJ that people would like to change the trick is to image it from the point of view of someone who has never seen the film.

That's the only way to look at any of these changes otherwise you might as well not change a thing.

There are possibly millions of people who if shown Ady's ESB:R trailer will not realise just how much (if anything) has changed and yet own the DVD's and have seen them many times.

There will be some who think that's the film as it was when it came out in 1980.

For one thing this isn't an Ady only thread so if he doesn't do it someone else might.

Also his main objection to Boba Fett being in ROTJ seems to be that he isn't doing what he is meant to be doing and is only put there as a fan service and to tie up all the loose ends.

At least in this scenerio he is acting consistantly with his character (he is locating people or information for a price not just acting as a bodyguard for Jabba) as seen in ESB and actually moves the plot along so there is a slim possibility if the case is well made even he might run with the idea.

It's not really a Lucas style addition (there is a fair deal of subtraction envolved) this idea changes the plot and adds a layer of suspense into the film that wasn't there before.

The changes Lucas made were mostly superficial but frequently upset the tone of the films rather than enhancing them.

 How is selling information as a secret agent double-dealing courier more in line with his character (which from ESB is a bounty hunter who barely speaks) than being the hired gun for a criminal he apparently already worked for?

Which seems more "in character": Delivering his target to the drug lord he works for, then hanging out at the drug lords palace until needed again, or delivering his target to the drug dealer he works for, then turning around, becoming a secret agent for the Empire, and pulling off an extremly elaborate piece of espionage?

Hello everyone,

 

I'm not sure if its been discussed, but has anyone considered having Anakin dissapear at the end of ROTJ like Obi-Wan and Yoda, to signify his unification with the Force?

A bounty hunter doesn't have to bring in his prey to claim the bounty (they can be hired just to trace them) in the described scenerio he is being hired to trace the movements of the Emperor by the Rebels and the Rebels by Vader (so he is being a bounty hunter).

The Death Star location is part of the information of where the Emperor will be.

His double-dealing nature was previously shown in ESB where he was paid both by Vader and Jabba for the same job (each employer having different motives for his employment).

He doesn't have to speak at all in this arrangement (he just has to be seen working in the background) so his role would be even more descrete than in ESB.

He takes the work and the pay, what happens to the individuals he is hired to trace (and how he manages to trace them) means nothing to him.

Boba Fett in ESB will work for anyone who pays him in ROTJ and ANH:SE he becomes just another lacky of Jabba (this reduces both the character and the universe he operates in).

As long as Boba doesnt just show up like "Hey kids its me Boba Fett" like in ANH SE. I felt it was as silly as showing the Ark in Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. If george is gonna add things why doesnt he add things that help the movies instead of Blue Tints and Big Lipped CGI Singers. Boba Fett really needs to have the badass aura that he had in ESB. Seeing as none of us can talk like him is even better because Boba talking is like Jar Jar Binx being an awesome character.

Angels touch of blue to me is helpful. George made the whole first 10 minutes of the movie blue.

One thing I never understood, why would they put this carbon freezing chamber in the middle of cloud city? If they use this for mass production, wouldn't it be smarter to put it in a large hanger where they have easy access to it? Why would they put stairs around it? Why not make it level so they don't have to hall things up and down stairs everytime they want to carbon freeze something? That is like putting a grand piano store at a kiosk.

From what I read, the part Han was frozen in was a customer showroom.

really? wat else do they have there?

Until I know more about carbon freezing, it's uses, and how practical/expensive it is to on a large scale, and also what (if any) storage alternatives there are along with their benefits/drawbacks, I'm not going to question the chamber's layout.

Any carbon freezing experts out there?
