Just watched The family guy ROTJ parody and I was a bit surprised at how bad ass Seth McFarlane felt he needed to make the ewoks. I found it rather interesting that a guy who's intent is to parody the film, couldn't disguise just how much he hates the ewoks......to the point that he barely made any jokes about them at all, and instead chose to just alter their character in the film instead. He even goes as far as making their weapons more effective against the stormtroopers. It was nice to see actual arrow penetration, and spear thrusts that connect. Hell, some of the ewoks even died in battle. Its odd to say it, but its almost ewoks the way I wish they had been done (if we have no choice to take ewoks over wookiees that is). The best change has got to be the scene right at the end where the ewoks are celebrating their victory while a couple of them go around the field of battle, systematically mercy killing the wounded imperials "Braveheart style". Adywan, if you haven't watched it yet, I'd definitely recommend it....sometime before you start working on ROTJ ;)

 

I am glad someone see's "It's a Trap" the same way I did. You missed the part where Peter freaks out and says he sick of the cute s#*t and makes the Imperials dig their own graves!!! ahhaahah awesome!

In addition to the ewoks riping apart imperials etc... I liked how they handled the sarlacc pit battle with Luke. Limbs and body parts every where. I hope adywan feels he needs to add this.

The sarlacc pit battle as it stands has Luke using his lightsaber as a nerf bat. Only once does it cut through a character (gamorean).

I am liking the new intro idea with the cut to Luke and Vader conversation. 

I think the death star II will remain the same. It is pretty iconic as it is and Ady doesn't fix what is not broken. It definetly needs to be recomposited in every one the shots. Especially the opening shot where it tracks with the camera.
