What I want to see removed is the first shot of ROTS, the one continous really long camera angle.  It's not that I don't like it, it's just we never see anything like that in any of the other movies.

I have no problem with the length of the shot (though I agree that it IS different from anything else in SW).....but more how its badly tricked.....you're looking down at the planet, and see nothing, then we get real close to the star destroyer and when we come out from behind it we're looking down at the planet again except this time theres a battle going on.....its just bad film-making. The same way in alot of bad movies where the characters don't see/hear the helicopter/car/monster chasing them until it enters frame.

Personally I think it would have been more interesting to pan down, past some wreckage, then directly into the battle......from a distance...perhaps having the battle resemble (only a little) some of the more distant shots from the ROTJ:R space battle....and then cut to the closer shots.

(all this of course is assuming ROTS:R still begins with the space battle)
