To finish with ESB...
Fate Unknown-------No dialog from scouts- masked, unknown. expo to PL from CO----speeder rolls in celebration-----test of cannon, subtle until fired-----Plan for defense in CC. XO "If the storm continues and the empire comes in light armored speeders...(Yeah, 'Captain Obvious' moment;)" CO "We must hope they have no respect for us."----- CO pep talk, Beautiful day for a fight (LBH).------Forward scout laying with T-T on it's side. CC"We have your position, Scout 4, Report the position of the walkers. S4 looks upward "They're just about standing on me!!" CC" Fall back to the perimeter, Scout 4." S-4 mounts and T-T runs howling.----- Cloud City central upward spire? Leia quarters?-_-Luke removes STs surrounding Leia.Vader almost recaptures Leia. V speaks of disturbance in Force. Luke steps in to cover PL's escape-----LC goes after Han, meets Leia on the way.----Then they give expo during the duel where Luke is injured. That's it. If I think of anything I missed, I'll post an edit here. :)
Edit: Leia on Falcon, before kiss "Please stop calling me that. The Royal House of Organa takes girls from poor circumstances and raises them for diplomatic service. Gives titles for stature." (or some such) ;/
Edit: If LC is killed at Cloud City trying to rescue Han, Wedge could take the Falcon.
Edit: Keep as much sense of Dunkirk-Trondheim as possible. Attatchment to history and the historical action dramas.
Edit: "Never make two women share the same kitchen." -Vacation home developers ;)
Edit: The Falcon might be able to make one jump. It might over or under shoot the destination ('DB'.)
Edit: LC was difficult. Blasted over the side of cloud city? Dies on Tat? Killed in star battle? It's a remake proposal, not a re-imagining. I thought I was already taking things far. If LC had a parent or spouse/love interest, there would be someone else to fly the Falcon. LC could die anywhere-even on Endor. Or, the parent could be lost or survive too ;/ :\ I don't know. Trying to stay with what has been established.
Edit: In the project conception I thought of Han as being in his mid-twenties. This creates an age disparity with Lando in his late thirties or early fourties (a General in ROTJ). I thought Lando might have an informal position with the rebs (no rank or same as Han) and they could both be the same age. Or, if early forties, work in a 'ROTLA' ref. I was trying to speed and simplify the Jabba rescue sequence. If Lando was of lower rank we wouldn't see him telling off the Admiral.
