But ESB is NOT a modern film =P
In all seriousness, while your suggestion is an interesting one, I don’t think modernizing the cinematics of the film is Ady’s goal with Revisited. Just my two cents.
Well it is modernish, you know I just think about the original King Kong or something like that and how they managed to achieve what they did at that time with what they had available to them. The Original Star Wars trilogy works inside that same vein and yes you are right it is charming in it’s own right and the crash is not something that bothers me greatly. I always think of revisited as a way of perhaps bringing the films up to date slightly and I just wished to put across that point about Internal shot vs external shot.
If anything it’s unusual that they did not Handle the crash shot externally for the time it was made rather than the mini cockpit plonking in the swamp. I think really that is the point to this. But yeah look at thunderbirds and Terrahawks and stuff like that. They really did great miniature shots of crashes so It’s not so much a modern thought but perhaps a retro one at the end of the day.
