@Darth_Ender.... It seems the main problems we have are:
1. The Opening - How should it start?
2. Bobba Fett
3. Space Battle - Visualizing what to do and where do we put it?
4. Lando - Live or die no inbetween
so addressing the first point we need to come up with somthing, perhaps Angel or Anlanfae could visualise somthing.
the second it would seem it either we have him fly away or harder route kill him off... The clincher is what to do about Han hitting the Jet pack is that particular shot able to either remove Han / move him over to the right a bit. I don't think having him fly out of the sarlac works because what will you do with him after that?
the third point is definatly one for the graphics team, I don't think that we should try to overdo it but somthing a little extra would be nice here and there
fourth as for Lando it seems more than likely we should just keep it as the original has anyone anyway changed their minds after my attempt at trying to show this. I don't know what to think myself about it but gave it a basic try anyway.
Essentially there is not too many differences this is the main bulk of indecision.
I am actually surprised about the majority NO on luke not telling Leia she is his Sister.... I thought this was my best idea, please watch the whole of my last cut on the previous page to see that all that it entails is a few cuts here and there she is lukes sister she just does not know it. Luke knows it / Vader knows it / Obi-wan tells Luke and also if you remeber he tells Luke to keep it a secret. It made perfect sense to me but anyway if I could not persuade you guys on that one nevermind.....
I'm pretty sure it's pretty clear cut what people want as far as sequence of events go at the start of the movie (Death Star II, then Dagobah, then Tattooine.) the main issue I think is whether to include Vader communicating with Luke on the Executor. IMO this should be after Vader arrives on the Death Star as originally planned. He goes to his meditation chamber, and mentally contacts Luke on Dagobah.
Boba Fett....that's a tough one. I think if we can do more things with him and his death, we should. If we can't, at least have Han PURPOSELY hit him into the Sarlaac. But I'm really against his non-inclusion.
And Lando needs to live. Lando dying wouldn't be tragic so much as it would be anti-climactic. Plus the Falcon flying away from the exploding Death Star is one of the most iconic scenes in ROTJ.
Anyways, that's just my opinion.
The only problem my brain keeps coming up against is that we have 3 cuts away so if it starts with the original opening you cannot have the emperor to pad luke travelling to tattooine as you leave a gap when they leave tattoine. And I don't think you can open the movie with the meditation chamber....
Perhaps a better opening might be this... We see a star destroyer go overhead like all the other movies. We then cut to a bridge shot of Vader looking out the window and see either Endor or another planet and then cut away to surface of the planet Tantive attempting to escape. (Reversed footage of Organas landing and a flight shot on the surface atmosphere).
Back to the bridge and Vader "I want that ship!" Resume the Pursuit using footage of 1st shot of ROTS composited Tantive but in space and not the one in a new hope, but re-use the footage for the capture of the tantive suicide destruction and escape pods. basically finish it off there atleast that would feel much different from ANH somewhat? I dunno Could cut this down further and make it more ambiguous.....
