I like the shots and ideas, but the quality is pretty bad.  Maybe as small elements somewhere, but unless someone can scale it up to 720p (the presumed res of RotJ:R) and it not be obvious, they might not be usable.

What is needed to to up the size of something like that?

A high definition copy of the Ewok movies, which don't exist (and would be an abomination if they got a full restoration and the OUT didn't).  Maybe it could be done with sharpening filters, but I'm not sure zooming in on those images could be salvaged from their already fuzzy and compressed 480p source.

I don't think that zooming is necessary.

I expect the ROTJ:R to be in 2.35:1 aspect (or close to it) frame in a 720p 16:9 square pixel format. That is actually only 545 pixels vertically which is only ~13.3% more than the 480p vertical resolution of CoC.

I think that the CoC ewoks could be added at 1:1 scale into a  background with more foliage and not look too small. Because CoC is in 4:3, you would have to add more foliage around them anyway.
