I changed the channel and saw TPM on Spike. I haven't seen this in many years. The X-men ship was descending to Coruscant, and a no-name pilot said, "Coruscant. The whole planet is one big city. Look over there--Chancellor Valorum's shuttle. And Senator Palpatine is waiting for us."
Way cool dialogue. I think the next edition of SW should do some ADR to add dialogue like that.
"Tatooine. The planet is a big desert. Look over there--a Krayt dragon skeleton. The desolation does not bode well for us."
"Bespin. The whole planet is covered in clouds. Look over there--it's Cloud City. And Lando Calrissian is waiting for us."
"The Sanctuary Moon of Endor. The whole planet is a big forest. Look over there--the shield projector. And stormtroopers are guarding it."
I really like this "tell the audience what they're seeing and let them know what's about to happen" style of storytelling. Descriptive soundtracks have previously been relegated to films for the blind, but I really think we can work them directly into the dialogue. Perhaps Lucas's small, experimental films will do further work with this technique.
