Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist — Page 148

I'm all for people attempting to cut Fett out of ROTJ because if it's enough it's job done, if it isn't it's a building block for the sort of scenerio I was suggesting (either way he needs to go from the Sarlacc fight).

My instincts still tell whisper at me that totally removing Fett is possibly a step too far, for good or ill he has been built up to be more than just a cool looking guy lurking in the background of ESB and totally removing him from ROTJ rather than keeping him in but giving him something to do would come across as sending a large group of fans to bed without supper rather than giving them something better to eat than a pot noodle.

Well personally I would either keep him in the Palace and remove him from the Sarlacc fight altogether, or I'd have Slave 1 taking off and leaving as the journey from the Palace begins, or even flying with the barges to the Pit of Carkoon but not getting involved (and then leaving when it all goes belly up).

How about he gets swallowed but blast his way out? (just like the EU explanation) :P

Neither of those permutations get over the basic lack of a role for the guy and what is it with people falling into pits (at least carkoon has a toothy mouth)?

I was joking with my suggestion, just to make it clear :P

He isn't really missed is he?

Though it's niggles that some of the reasons for removing him put around could equally be extended to Dengar and Bossk yet nobody seems to want them removed from the Palace.

As promised here is my slightly more conventional Death Pit mockup (not perfect but hopefully you get the general idea).

I've removed the bridges to nowhere and tried to make the central column look more like the lift shaft.

Hopefully more skilled hands could work this into something a bit better (and follow the rules of perspective) :

I really hope the shaft looks like the one in your mock-up Bingo, good job.

Btw I posted a (really bad looking) mock-up of the rebels preparing to attack a star destroyer with their canon (ala. ROTS). There's only one rebel in the pic and I really could have added more. I was wondering if someone could create a better looking mock-up. Would shots like that be workable anyway? I certainly hope so.

I loved your gun mockup and perhaps you should drop doubleofive a message to see if it could be put on the list because it illustrates the sort of shots that would put a lot of ROTS style epicness into the Battle Of Endor.

Dengar is in the palace?

He sure is if you watch Dave's video he's looking down the Rancor Pit as Jabba's little platform moves closer to give him a better view.

There's even a Rodian (Beedo) wearing Princess Leia's Hoth vest.

I don't mind those as much as I mind the medical droids at the Rebel Briefing.

Here's the drop shot with just the bridges gone if anyone wants to play with it :

I love it, Bingo. Great work!

Much improved! :)

This kind of follows up on Davnes 007's earlier post about brutality in the end battle of ROTJ.

I've thought how cool it would be if we see all these little hints of a conflict(destroyed rusted out AT-AT, stormie helmet on a stick,etc) but then we see these little teddy bears. People would be like "These guys? yeah right." Then, when the battle begins, we seem them becoming rabid little warriors.

These are very rough (over did the sharpen).

Here's one with a distant turning wheel at the bottom for Ridleyesque broken light fans (if you pardon the pun):

Another rough variant but with the pit ending in darkness and tried for a bit of Trumbullesque light blur with these two, umm didn't quite work but hopefully the idea is gotten across and someone else can give it a go (it might be nice to replace the steam bursts with flame bursts for that Blade Runner techno hell effect):

I knocked this up last night as well but I had to go to bed, basically the same idea as yours Darth Chronus :
