Theoodo, I have 2 things to say about your Idea, whilst it is good, and even I thought about the corusant scenario the main problem is executing it... Making it all happen on corusant the amount of Audio dubs from main characters from "Death Star" to "Empirial Palce"... It is not only an enormous undertaking with Audio and Visually + Graphically too but being able to even pull it off and make it plausible is another and I believe that even though the DSII is a recycled idea it has everything there already waiting to be manipulated in such a way that it can work alot better than than even the original has to offer..... Even with DSII staying at the helm. This is only my opinion, there are many others who would really want to hold the battle of endor on corusant, I for one do not believe it is possible....
secondly, ROTJ is'nt the best film but V for Vendetta is the worst film, I had to turn it off when I attempted to watch it.. . So I never saw that scene before in the link you posted... I get what your trying to say like an uprising but how to show a massive uprising on corusant without filming huge crowds of people , dressed up and with CGI Backdrops and real sets is definatly beyond my vision, If you can attempt to show us how you plan or propose to execute your ideas then it would add more weight behind it... Perhaps it can be done but having an idea and then not thinking about how you will do it are 2 totally different things. Granted alot can be achieved by sticking different background mattes up and alike but you are practically talking about making half a different movie and that is why I also ditched this idea myself, after briefly supporting it I realised it's not for the fainthearted and no offense to you or anyone else who likes the idea as I like it myself somewhat it is just such a massive burden.
Well, I did deal with this in an abbreviated way in my original post on this. It would require several new mattes to replace the originals, and a whole new 3D environment of the Imperial city for the arrival of Vader's shuttle and the Falcon's brief pass over its surface. Ackbar would have to be re-dubbed and Mon Mothma's speech shortened. A new hologram would also have to be made for that scene. Other than that, we need only remove Lando's occasional mentions of the Death Star during the battle and the story would roll out without much more alteration. An altered opening crawl would also help establish that the Rebels are plotting an assault on the seat of Imperial power, while they have a brief window of opportunity. Some of that may sound impossible, but we've already discussed adding whole new CGI ships and a whole new sequence with the Bothan spies. I don't think my idea is much more drastic than either of these suggestions.
As for an uprising, it wouldn't actually be necessary (the destruction of the palace itself would be a striking enough image, followed by the celebrations on Endor) but we in fact already have footage of rebellions on Coruscant - namely, the special edition footage of people celebrating. You'll notice a Stormtrooper being passed over the crowds of people. With a little audio editing, this scene could be turned into a violent riot rather than a celebration. That, or you could keep it as a more celebratory uprising. Following the destruction of the palace, the latent anger of the oppressed populace is unleashed, while our heroes celebrate on the neighboring moon. As for Vendetta, I agree it's nothing compared to the comic (which I like), but I was only using it to illustrate how a building's destruction can be as dramatic as - or more dramatic than - the destruction of the Death Star.
Whatever you think of the movie, I don't think you can fault the magnitude of its conclusion.
