I'd really be interested in knowing what ideas were planned, but won't happen.
Curious about this one myself. Can't imagine what it is!
As I said....I'm not aware of anything Ady specifically planned, but then later discovered he could not achieve (not to say it never happened, but if it did, I don't know about it). There are, however, times when something would be suggested to Ady (by one of us from the inner circle) and he would explain why it could not be done (while sometimes suggesting that if things were not thus he WOULD want to do it).
An example for you (this isn't meant to stir up another debate, Ady has already said he can't do this):
I brought up the issue of R2 plugging into the power socket on Bespin and frying himself. It always bothered me in the SE that they put in such a huge delay between him deploying his interface tool (hehehe) and him actually plugging in and getting shocked. I had counted out the time, and it was something like 13 seconds that we're supposed to believe he deployed, and then just sat there....waiting for the camera to come back onto him before continuing his movement. It's ridiculous. So I had someone chop up a few different edits for me....and got the time down to half, and then to a couple of seconds....and presented Ady with the 2 options. What I had asked of my editor was that he ignore the audio aspect....I simply wanted to see if the visual could be spliced in such a way as it didn't feel off. Additionally I was hoping we could recover the few seconds of R2 that were lost in the SE edit....his interface appendage (just gets funnier everytime) has some lights on it that pulse at one point, and this was lost in the SE cut.
Ady explained to me that as much as he'd have liked to change it back to something closer to the original the audio was too heavily layered and flattened into one channel in the only available source for him to do much about it. I believe that Lando's PA announcement to Bespin was the specific source of the problem...but I do not recall if there were more constraints he mentioned.
There you go...
