Hehe, some very nice ideas. Although I don't have Adywan's magic (or patience!) to do all of them (the "MAD MAX eyes" shot, would have been GREAT. I wish I had the idea!)

I just want to point that the Death Star added scenes, even if poorly directed, I agree, are not "fan" films, but part of the Star Wars video board game. Meaning it IS David Prowse under the suit. Maybe there is still too much contrast on the picture to really fit the Puggo grande style, indeed...

 

Well... it may be from the video game, but it still looks like a fan film or something from video tape; same thing with the TROOPS footage.  Overall, it just stands out way too much.  I don't think I would go as far as what Bingo is suggesting (like with the iguanas), as I can understand that editing itself can be a major task, much less adding in brand new FX work.

Regardless, I enjoyed it tremendously, and whether you do a version 2 (now or later) or just move on to a brand new edit, I will say I will be looking forward to your next work.

Adding Iguana's is more in the arena of editing than special effects (the new gore is pure special effects). There are already many films that use the 'giant lizard' technique which could be used.

Sure some of these are in the wrong kind of landscape that never stopped Z-Movie makers from using anachronistic stock footage from other films.

It's easy to forget that not long before and even after Star Wars came out films like that were still being made.
