True, seeing Vader's landing shuttle isn't truly needed...
well said
but muddyknees, that wasn't my only reason for this idea. That would indeed be one of the highlights, but it'd be more than just that.
I was thinking it'd be worthwhile to have a panning shot (with the Lambda landing) showing several squads of imperial troops massing forward with more still roping down from an AT-AT. This way, aside from the walkers, the audience will be in awe and have a better sense for the number of imperial troops that were sent for this mission (more than just a handful that we see only in the tunnels), because the Empire did mean business with this large-scale assault.
I mean it does work fine exactly as it is now, but I always thought it could benefit us showing more (in this rare case and if done right). Just like we didn't truly need to see the Falcon flying through Bespin before it landed, but after seeing the SE Bespin up close like that, I thought worked great from a narrative and visual point of view - I'm happy that Ady thinks so too. The same could potentially happen for this other idea, maybe.
But who knows what all Ady has up his sleeve, so possibly this idea would interfere with an idea of his, in which case nevermind. Again though, it was just an idea that I could see working and would definitely welcome it if he did attempt it :)
I always thought there may have been more rebel bases out there aside from Hoth (which would explain why in ROTJ the rebellion suddenly has more than just humans in it). If this were the case, then the Empire's invasion likely was just a fraction of the power that they could have sent in.
Or I'm wrong.
