I've noticed in recent years that Return of the Jedi is very poor in iconic imagery. Star Wars and Empire had all these wonderful snapshot moments. The only ones in Jedi were recycled.

Star Wars and Empire used nature and made them alien. Deserts and Tundra are all over the world, but they made them work. They sold regular things as irregular things.

Jedi just doesn't sell the woods of California as very alien, simply because most people probably drive by woods very similar every day or live near woods like that.

So what can be done to Jedi to make it fresh and alien? One of the few solutions would be to turn the woods into a jungle, or change locations altogether.

Then the imperial fortress is just a damn box with a satellite dish over it. I think it should be more menacing.

Everything in Jedi is so phoned in. Jedi was just a case of what had been done in Star Wars only bigger and better. Aside from the swoop bike chase, there really wasn't any innovation. Everything was just so laid back.
