Gosh, my last comment was written in a hurry and involved some copying and pasting between Word and the website. It looks ugly and it appears that English is my second language!
Sluggo, I believe we are leaning towards cutting it out, which pleases me as well. Glad to see you back, and hope you'll continue to follow and contribute to this project.
So again, how are we going to get from Dagobah to Tatooine?
I have to be honest, Ronster, I liked how you portrayed Lando's death. I agree now that his death will not fit in the story well enough, but if it were included, you gave it some good emotion. I skimmed through your whole rough cut and it looked better IMO, but I still like the original format the best. Still, with what you were aiming for, I think it came off far more successfully this time :)
There is no in-between on his death. People voted that he would live, but the in-between was if to delay our knowledge that he lives. MrInsaneA likes at least my concept of such a delay (I'm not sure if that was the original idea), and changed his vote, so that is fairly settled now with him living, but we think he died for a few moments longer.
Yes, there are major problems with Boba Fett. As a whole we are not entirely sure of the best way to deal with him. Remove him completely? Include him and allow him to live? How? Give him a cooler death? How? Probably our toughest nut to crack in the entire story.
As for the space battle, I wish I could continue to be a big contributor here. I would honestly be willing to do a hand illustrated storyboard to show my ideas. Perhaps someone else might be willing to do so. I still am rooting for the Victory Star Destroyers, and I think they still fit with Imperial uniformity. I just love their design and I really don't like the Venator. I'm not a GL basher like many here, but it annoys me that Lucas included the Venator and not the Victory in the PT.
I found this interesting website on how to construct a Victory SD. Obviously it's not quite a movie quality model, but if the creator had the ambition to add more texture and it were used mostly in distance shots, it could be very passable. For closeup shots, perhaps it could be enhanced a tad with CGI, given lights and a bit of texture and the like.
If we do include some sort of DSII plans stealing scene, it would need to involved new footage as Angel said. I also think it would be best not to have Vader. The Bothans are supposed to succeed after all, but only after many deaths. If we include any such scene, we need to show this very thing: success at their mission with high casualties, and enough ambiguity to allow it to be part of the Emperor's master plan.
