Here's a try at expanding McQuarrie's unused matte of Endor into something useable. Not finished yet, but you get the idea. I'll be replacing the mountains with something more realistic and maybe the trees, but the design is pretty fixed. This is scaled down to about 20% of the actual image resolution and, for some reason, greens always scale down into oversaturated lime!

I like my gas giants without rings :p

If that's at 20% of the original, I'd love to see the original! That is beautiful work.

Everyone seeing something different?  My worst nightmare.

I know this is off topic, but does anyone else think that Ric Olie's pic looks like Norm MacDonald?

That's the best argument I've heard for keeping Shaw in the ending scene, cap. Lucas' explanation that Anakin truly died when he became Darth Vader and therefore his ghost would look like Hayden is a stretch, and if its a matter of choice of what to appear as, why wouldn't Obi-wan and Yoda choose to look younger (thank goodness Lucas doesn't think like that)?

Since its technically a hallucination of Luke's or he chooses to see them as he knows them, Shaw as Anakin makes sense. He's never seen a picture of his father, how could he imagine what he looks like (and don't tell me, "The Force!")?

Thanks, 005, but I think I did not fully convey the abstraction I was trying to describe.

The way I see it, Luke is sensing the presence of Ben, Yoda, and Anakin with the Force, not with his eyes, so it doesn’t matter whether he knows what Anakin looked like as a young man.  The question is, in this moment of celebration after the destruction of Death Star II, when Luke “sees” Ben, Yoda, and Anakin, which Anakin does he see?

If Luke sees a hot-headed young man who was jerked around by the Jedi Council and the Chancellor of the Republic, then we should see Hayden Christensen.

If Luke sees a loving father who didn’t realize he was still capable of love until it overwhelmed him and he turned on his master, sacrificed his own life, and brought down the Galactic Empire to save his son, then we should see Sebastian Shaw.

See, this is why you need me.  You still need me to point out the obvious: I'm much more handsome than that other guy. 

Just look at him - too much hair, not pixelated enough, clearly enjoying himself too much with some awful drink in a ego-mug.  I'm much more of a catch.

Yeah and you were the best damn roadie ever. You made sure Ozzy got his brown M&Ms and played a good show that night.

Here goes. Bingo, I thickened up the trees for you :-)  It did look a bit too pretty, like a park. While I don't think all planets should look the same all over, I don't want to vary it too much. So, slightly more foresty. I also tried making the planet bigger but it didn't look right.

 

That is truly beautiful, I would go there on my hols if it was real!

Thanks. I wouldn't mind that myself. Looks like a weekend in Brighton again for me :-( 

 

At least you guys get to go places. I won't be leaving the hell hole that is Tennessee for quite sometime. >:O
