You're saying that as if I've actually started my ROTJ edit. It's more likely at the moment that I'll be altering the current opening to use the Executor, Vader's shuttle, the Death Star II, and Endor, but arranged differently than the current opening, which is a carbon-copy of the opening to the first film.

After that I'll either go to Luke on Dagobah, or to the Boushh/Chewbacca scene and then to Luke on Dagobah. And the feeling that their "conversation just left off from ESB" is a good thing - the idea is that after ESB ended, Luke, Leia, Lando and Chewie came up with a plan to save Han, then Luke returned to Dagobah to finish his training before the plan is implemented. Leia gets impatient with not saving Han and makes up her own half-baked plan to save him, which more or less completely fails, leaving Luke, now a full Jedi, to clean up her mess for her. This also explains the incredibly haphazard way the "plan" seems to unfold in ROTJ.

But anyway, I'm not focusing on ROTJ at all right now - I'm still finishing up work on Star Wars. Good news here - I'm getting a very nice set of Sennheiser mixing-quality headphones for Christmas, so, in the interest of using them to iron out the Revisited-to-mono-mix transitions until I'm satisfied that the transitions aren't noticeable, it looks like this project may see a January or February release (perhaps you guys'll get a nice present from me on my birthday).

Oh, and G E, I'm not sure that I agree with the timeframe you posit there, but as I said, my edits will be just as open to interpretation as far as timeframe goes as the originals were, so I'm not going to stress about that too much. I'm going more by "feel" than logic, though - everyone looks like they've aged much more from ESB to ROTJ than from SW to ESB, at least in my opinion.
