^Both points are true. I think the Victory-class hope is just a stubborn love of mine. My friend mentioned that they existed after having read about them in the Thrawn trilogy. I then purchased a book that I think was called the Star Wars Technical Manual and read for the first time that there was an Imperial-class. I thought Victory sounded cooler, and since I'd read no description, I figured in must be a larger model. Finally I purchased the Star Wars RPG Imperial Sourcebook (one of my favorite Star Wars purchases in spite of the fact that the Executor in reality must be far larger than described there). I saw the Victory, was at first disappointed that it was smaller, but came to think it was pretty cool anyway. The description made it sound special because it could engage in upper atmosphere travel, something the Imperial could not do (though now the Venerator can land, so there goes that unique point as well). Still, I've always held a fondness for it and wished it would be featured in one of the films, including the SEs when they first came out. I think that if I had any measure of skill, I'd make an ROTJ edit with Victories, even if it were illogical for the Empire's best fleet to make use of them.

What do you guys think of my proposal? Should I start a thread proposing a very collaborative project? Or would one of you who actually can edit movies be interested in starting one? I'd really like to see something like this.
