I just posted this over on Ash's thread but it might fit here too.

One of the oft quoted problems with starting the film on Dagobah (as suggested by some variations of the Fan-O-Matic idea) is that we lose the traditional format of starting OT films with a Star Destroyer.

ESB doesn't start with a major Star Destroyer scene (we only get the probe droid being launched) it's then a long time before Vader gets his big entrance.

Perhaps it could start with a Star Destroyer launching construction droids at the building site and that being dwarfed by the enormous scale of the Death Star.

Then we could cut to Dagobah and back to Vader arriving without breaking the tradition.

Ominous, silent half completed Death Star II? I kind of like that idea, going with the rearrangement, of course.
