Bingowings said:Is there a workable solution, like a suitable backshot of the ROTJ helmet that can be matched into position and have the general profile of the reflections mapped over it?
Some might say with some justification that it doesn't really matter but it does highlight how many corners were cut in the making of ROTJ.
Would it have cost so much to film anyone against the window for a unique shot?
It would be nice if we had a similar shot of Luke meditating on the future like he does in ANH.
The PT sets this up as a family trait but maybe Yoda's teaching has beaten it out of Luke.
If not it might be nice to start a Fan-O-Matic style Dagobah sequence with Luke outside looking up at the sky and then over to Yoda's hut before him going outside for Yoda's death scene (which might be adapted from the lights fading sequence in the theatrical version).
Hmmm...I really like that idea...especially becuase Vader is doing this in the same film.
There might be a couple of shots you could modify to make this work...but the one that comes to mind is the one of Luke going under his xwing to R2. ("I can't do it, R2.")
He looks off towards Yodas hut...but maybe we could modify it so he's looking out towards the sky...
This is kind of what I intended in my Fan-O-Matic...only it's on Tatooine...and I didn't really didn't sell it that well... :P
