Just putting this link out their for those interested.
This site had tons and tons of pictures from everything star wars related. Very nicely done.
Thanks for the link :)
After looking it over, I was reminded that there are three for ESB. destruction, jump away, and fate unknown. We might see the rebel ship and SD pass off-screen, leaving the viewers uncertain and haunted. Then the probe launch. I'm impressed by the quiet, ominous tone those shots create. I'd like to see two such sequences in ESB to foreshadow the "Fate Unknown" conclusion. A similar foreshadowing in AOTC might lead to the same sense in ROTS. If the sabre construction shot is in good condition, it might be used to create a sense of foreboding. The ROTJ star battle is for some action and for creating a sense of real peril.
To me, these star battles are bound up with their respective crawls. Each scroll seems like it is the same sort of thing in passing. Read them carefully, and they each have a unique character. 4:A ship captured 5:A ship's fate unknown 6:A ship destroyed 1:A ship given passage 2:A ship rescued 3:An immense battle. The idea is to make each seem unique. Now I wonder if each battle should correspond to it's position in it's trilogy.
I have enjoyed these star battles. I wanted to give a definitive account of my ideas for them. I'm sure that my 1am, clipped presentation style doesn't convey that very well. :)
