@fishmanlee Is it too busy with SFX added just wondering why it was cut in the first place?
Millenium falcons destruction ideas
So Lando makes it out of DSII but evey shot after the "yeeha!" the back of the falcon is on fire like petrol burning on it's back we see this on everyshot of the falcon up until and while DSII is exploding and flying towards the fleet.
The falcon then has a small explosion This video below is how I would imagine the falcon to look before it explodes / burns out a bit more

Then starts looks a bit more like the video below with smoke perhaps in Endor Atmosphere, while the ewoks blow there horns even

and then completly exploding... fire chunks breaking apart It I don't think it should hit the ground it should break up in mid air or in space. It does seem all these effects are possible in after effects so would need to re-use footage of the falcon from another of the trilogy to show it starting "burning out" then it would be all effects there after
Just wanted to visualize the idea a bit better my main concern is that although there is the elation of destroying the DSII we immediatley cut to the downer of the falcons destruction so there would have to be some celebration on Endor and before Han and Leia have a smooch it would then cut back to the falcon on fire.
Or it would simply make it a suicide mission have no "Yehaa!" and make the falcon a fireball slowly blow that up first and then DSII destruction?
It's a tough one... And if there was no way of making it work it should just stay as the original IMO.
