I'm not sure if I should put this here or in the ESB and ROTJ Wishlist thread or Unofficial Revisited thread. However, since those are more focused on Ady's edits, and since I doubt he will utilize this idea, I'll just mention it here, since I will probably be adding it to my own little low-budget edit.
This ROTJ trailer actually shows quite a few clips that differ from the film. Most of these are very brief and could not be used. However, a couple of them could, I think. In particular, I've always wondered why it took so much longer for Wedge and Lando to get into the Death Star core than back out; it always seemed like such a quick exit. Well, there is a very short clip of Wedge's profile while passing through the Death Star tunnel, and there is a unique shot of Lando in the cockpit. I believe that using this and utilizing a bit of extra footage, I can add just a couple of well placed seconds to the whole run which would give more of the impression of a longer escape from the flames of the exploding station (along with the bit I've already added from the perspective of Jerjerrod). It would be a subtle but interesting addition, I think. I also think there might be a couple of other shots that could be useable. The trailer is available in higher quality on the 2004 trilogy bonus disc.
@daneditor, yeah, I suspected my edit was a bit out of balance with regards to so much space battle. That's the stuff I love, but I knew that if I were adding so much to it without enough other material to balance it out, it would feel strange. Perhaps if those other two fanedits we talked about before (THX and Tydirium) were completed, we could make at least the Endor portions a bit more balanced. My effort there was to include a lot of what was talked about when creating the script: more Mon Cal cruisers; more capital ship battles and starfigher dogfights; Z-95 Headhunter and BTL-B Y-wings; a more extensive assault on the Executor; more B-wing action and more pilot heads and chatter; a Madine sacrifice, though I accomplished this differently than scripted, but in a way that I found satisfying. It would be hard for me to cut the space battle too much (though I'm sure I could do some), so I think the only way to fix it is balancing it with the other battles. Most difficult would be adding to the Luke/Vader duel.
Anyway, those are my thoughts for today.
