This is just my honest opinion, but I don't think any of those Old Republic starships from Episodes 2 and 3 would have been necessary for ANH:R. For one thing, Tarkin says during the briefing that "The last remnants of the old Republic had been swept away," and any vessel from the Clone Wars would be considered remnants of the old Republic. Starships and Trooper army most likely underwent changes for this reason. Also, Episode 4 already has plenty of links to Episode 3. Luke and Obi-Wan's discussions on Tatooine are a good example, as well as the few but comprehensive mentions of the Senate.

And about the Alderaan explosion, I think Lucasfilms did do an appropriate job of it. The explosion should be instantaneous.

What I assumed by that statement was that was *institutionally*... the army, navy and the stormtroopers are very obviously inherited from the Republic.

Please to meet you Cyberbeagle and glad you liked ANH:R.

Vader sounds more like his later self in the DVD-9 version.

As to the images you posted, why don't you edit your previous post and reduce the size by half so we get the general ideal at first glance and we can click on them to see the full sized version.

As it seems very unlikely that Ady will be making further adjustments to ANH:R you may want to post your suggestions on the ANH:SE Redux Ideas Thread too.

Thanks! Have redone that! :)
