Guys, I'm just realizing that we essentially voted for a forest fire on the Endor surface (passing MrInsaneA's suggested images on the vote).  How on earth (or Endor) can we do this?  I don't see how we could work the beautiful image into a reasonable plot device.  We're already trying to show the Ewoks in a disadvantaged position and only surviving because the generator is destroyed and the Imperials are then disorganized.  I don't see how with available footage we could make a reasonable plot line involving that, both because a forest fire would completely destroy them, and also because we'd have to show some resolution to this.  It just seems unreasonable to me.

It might be possible to give the ideas of raging fires on Endor through the use of a montage. There is that montage series of shots with Ewoks tripping AT-ST walkers and the like where footage like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdayNALle_s (burning forest shots from Old Republic trailer, 34-48 seconds in) could be incorporated. I think there are some shots in Battle For Endor that could be of use too.
