Thanks as always for comments and replies.  Angel, I'm still not sure I'll use the scene, but given that you say compositing a different background shouldn't be that hard, and now that I've actually watched the Dagobah scene as opposed to going by memory, it could actually be a conceivable change.  Luke's lightsaber it turns out is never actually visible on Dagobah.  Guess I should have watched it before I wrote :)

So while I'm touching up the sequence of scenes for the beginning, my thoughts are turning again to the Battle of Endor, focusing more on the space battle.  It would nice to see more Mon Calamari cruisers, and I'm thinking in particular that they should be more engaged in the destruction of the Executor.  As of this moment, I believe that the most heavy work in this edit would be the needed CGI vessels engaged in battle, and I hope either of you feels you could do it.  I found (actually re-found) a website that would be useful in showing more Mon Cal ships, as it has great photos of the various models (and illustrations from other sources as well, but they're not as important unless you wanted to include them).

I also am thinking about trying to reincorporate some of Madine's scenes.  Many of his lines are the same as Ackbar's leading me to believe they probably were debating who would actually lead the battle.  But if some shots of him could be included along with another Mon Cal crusier, we might be able to make a more interesting capital ship battle.
