I assume the shuttle is a fair distance from the village so it must have been a bit of a jog.

I don't think you need Vader to prompt Luke to surrender.

Another thing that always bugged me about ROTJ was how Ben's ghost interacted with the environment.

Love the graphical button, how do you do that?

I think it works really nicely when Luke leaves but less well when he comes back. Couldn't think of a good way to explain why he is suddenly back from the shuttle to the Ewok hut - I put in an iris transition to imply the passage of time. I think inserting a cut away here would help. Like cutting to Vader and/or Palpatine then back again. Maybe cut to Vader's shuttle arriving?

I wanted to get Vader in there early so Luke's flash of anger and "Why didn't you tell me?" line when he sees Ben is re-enforced. It felt mildly odd in the original Dagobah scene but feels even more random here. You understand why he says it but not why it is the first thing. If Vader had just spoken it would explain it nicely.

Would be great if it could be shown that Leia has sensed Luke's return. But there aren't any shots long enough of Carrie from the hut scene looking thoughtful that I possibly could dub an ethereal "Leia" over.

Anybody dig the new Ben intro I made? I thought it was pretty subtle so you might of missed it.

"Graphical button"?
