Very nice idea Bingowings!

I personally wouldn't really want to do something as big as killing a character that didn't die originally, but at the same time, there is such an overwhelming lack of sacrifice on the part of the Rebellion.

I hope someone does kill Lando and the Falcon, so we can see how it would play out.

For people who really need a happy ending the cockpit could jettison and turn into the Landopod (the superdooper high speed escape pod...if the Bat can do it why not the Billy Dee?) which can still outrun the explosion but now with the added tension of fire and the loss of the Falcon.

Not a bad idea, and the Falcon would be a significant casualty for a lot of us. There needed to be something. I remember back then, Richard Marquand wanted to kill one of the leads, but Lucas flat out refused. Pity.

The official line is he was pulling our legs....the little scamp.

I still like my idea of when the Falcon bumps the walls it gets really badly damaged and loses not just the dish but the top quad laser and much of the upper hull too.

Bump

By the time they destroy the reactor the fire is near the cockpit door.

Fire

 

 

I LOVE this idea. I'm against Lando and Neibnub dying, but I'd love to see the Falcon beat to shit, scorched and wrecked and barely flyable when they explode out of the Death Star.

I loved this image from the moment I saw it - and this has now replaced Dexter Morgan (ala. Dexter) as my new Desktop background. Well done for all your hard work. :)

- As for the beat-up Falcon idea; I am so with that. I am also naturally with Ady that dear our dear old Baron Admin should not be killed.

Can you make a list of his mockups please? :)

I was debating on adding the quotation marks, thanks for clarifying the need to do so. ;-)

 

It would be very time consuming I assume, but it would be nice to have an actual list of all the (liked) mock-ups collected eventually, whether they be picture mock-ups, video mock-ups, whatever, and put in one easy-access place when ROTJ:R starts to kick into gear! Even if they were just links, or a series of pics on a page, it would help to keep things from being forgotten later on if they were organized well enough.

Just a thought for the future.

doubleofive has been compiling a list of re-edit ideas.

It might make sense to find the ones that may need a mockup to get the idea across and post a link to a mockup after it, turning it into a partially illustrated list that anyone could use (not just Ady who will no doubt pick a few and add them to the ideas he already has but not use them all).

Yeah, that's something I'm usually behind on, mostly because I'm not sure what qualifies a whole new idea and not a branch off of something we already mentioned, or is something so off the wall that no one is going to seriously use it.  Somebody is running a DeviantArt with Angel's mockups, so there's a good place for that.  I'd love to put the mockups in my list, but I've already been through every post on this thread too many times already. ;-)

I can send you an updated zip with the so far work.

 

When Han says: there are lot of command ships, we supposed to see the 2 more SDs? If no id like to add some more SDs with some tie traffic to enhance the scene. if yes then better remove the line.

This is the scene after Vader is told to move the fleet to the far side of the moon, so there should be a lot of traffic.  Also, wouldn't Han and Co notice the huge fleet moving around to the other side of the moon?  Too bad they can't send a transmission back to Sullust! "Uh, guys, there's a huge fleet just standing around, might want to do something about that.  It's a trap." ;-)

That's poses another question.

At what point would the Empire jam the shield signal?

Would the Tydirium be able to read the shield or would the Empire have started jamming as soon as the Emperor felt the fleet approach?

He wasn't able to detect Luke but he knew the Rebels had landed.

I'm thinking the moon should be completely dark at this point.

Almost because if its black we lose the sense of space and perspective. Or we can add Endor behind the moon to add depth.

I added some Fleet and vader's ship (where did it go?)

Wow. Just Wow. The Death Star needed some freakin construction going on in there.

 

"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

Or how about the egg from Mork and Mindy?

These are getting better by the post.  We need details, like how much of this is CGI, how much is painted, how did you figure what the half-complete Death Star would look from whatever angle, how freaking big is some of that welding to be seen from this distance from something that big?

Maybe it could be pitch dark and the light is coming from it being reflected off of the Planet Endor?

If it was out in the open (unobstructed view), I think you could even see the light from a regular little ol' Earth welding torch at that distance because it's so insanely retina-burning bright.

I'd like to see a GIF of that with little lights blinking here and there. Maybe some little dots buzzing around to indicate small robots or ships doing work, too.
