^This is why I feel the script needs additional ships to be involved in the attack. I think if several capital ships engage in the battle, focusing their fire on the bridge section, then two fighters being the straws that broke the camel's back might be more believable. Perhaps if it were made clearer that they were firing concussion missiles rather than simple laser blasts (what it looks like to me), then it might also come off better.
I agree about the lost Rebel footage and I'm going to try to include as much as possible, probably having to do some rough cuts with my Windows Live Movie Maker software as a template for those with the better toys.
I'm personally not a big fan of Coruscant being a significant plot point, both because of what I perceive as unrealistic (let's blow up the capital to stop the riots) and also it just doesn't seem to make sense story-wise. It just seems like people are fishing for something more exotic. If Endor orbits Coruscant and it is essentially background, that would be visually interesting, but I can't see a logical story reason to include it without some drastic rewriting of the whole movie.
I know I'm a nerd, but I didn't know what song was Across the Stars till tonight when I finally looked it up. It's a pretty piece and would be neat to include somewhere, though the only place that seems truly fitting might be where Luke and Leia are talking about their mother.
A song I feel we might want to consider weaving into this movie somewhere might be the Death Star theme from A New Hope. It essentially served as the bad guy song for the first movie, and I personally find it powerful and intimidating. Perhaps some dramatic Death Star II reveal could include this piece.
Sorry to take so long on this early step folks. I'll get it done soon.
I feel very strongly about what I'm about to say, so bear with me here:
I feel like ROTJ should feature a LOT of callbacks to previous themes in the Saga, seeing how it's the final film. Some ideas I was thinking of were:
1. Duel of the Fates playing during parts of the space battle.
2. Across the Stars playing once or twice during very quiet moments pertaining to Luke/Vader and Luke/Leia/Mom
3. The Death Star theme, as previously mentioned.
Anybody think this is a good idea? And if so, is there any other pieces of music you feel should be integrated?
I personally like your suggestions, especially number 3 ;)
Ronster, I still haven't gotten around to your video, but I think I should be able to tonight. I again want to reiterate that I like a lot of your ideas. I truly like the Boba Fett death idea in particular. I was thinking, perhaps we could get this collaborative edit released in various forms. Those interested could make a "Mark I" edit. Then those with even more ambition and radical ideas could do a "Mark II" using the existing changes to help, then a "Mark II" and so on till this idea dries up.
