I still prefer the OT battles over the PT ones. PT is just too damn chaotic.

There's just something about the ESB battles that makes me drool.

Totally, there are so many great flying sequences in ESB. The asteroid scene blows away the one in AOTC. I also love the falcon attacking the star destroyer, the little flip the falcon does as it doubles back over the cloud bank to rescue Luke on Bespin and that flight along the edge of the executor. All done with little plastic models!

IMHO the only parts of ESB that look dodgy are some parts of the battle of Hoth. When the tripped walker blows up, the way the snow surface reacts looks just like a table covered in flour (or whatever they used). Also the walker falling over after Luke throws the grenade in, well I never noticed the stick pushing it but the model looks like... a model.

In other scenes however the walkers look great. I particularly love the moment towards the end of the battle when the rebel troops are fleeing before a walker that is picking them off with turbo lasers. The empire look like real bullies and you get a real sense of how outgunned the rebels are.

The other really poor scene in the trilogy is the executor crashing into the DS2. That should have been a spectacular moment but it looks like a model crashing into another model. Hope you plan to fix this Ady. Would particularly like to see the view from the bridge or DS (or both!) as this happens. Anyway that is off topic and I don't want to risk another train wreck.
