That's why we need FIVE death stars!! You may doubt if it was a trap before, but when the main death star opens and other death stars start unfolding like Russian dolls, then you know it is a trap.
I don't know if I can go on knowing I'll never see this.

I'd only appreciate it if for each one, Ackbar yelled "IT'S A TRAP!"
You would have to have the "There's too many of them!" guy punctuating each "It's a trap!"

Maybe add the "Stay On Target" guy for the win.

maybe have an older Ric Olie or his son pop in out of hyperspace as he was making his rounds to collect space garbage and after Ackbars last "Its a trap!" he says.... "Oh look, theres 5 death stars, must be a trap for the Rebels!"
You can never go home again, but i guess you can shop there.
I suppose we really should, "Stay On Target" but some o these ideas would be fun for the Worst Edit thread.
I miss Ric Olie.
*sigh*
What happened to Ric Olie anyway - his posts used to crack me up - then he got possessed by some mutant? and hasnt posted for ages...

He's mainly been in off-topic lately. But not as himself.

From the Sluggo script:
1,138 INT. REBEL CRUISER BRIDGE/FALCON
Alarms are screaming and lights flashing as the huge ship changes course abruptly. Other ships in the fleet shoot by outside as the armada tries to halt its forward momentum.
ACKBAR
Take evasive action! Green Group, stick close to holding sector MV-7.A Mon Calamari controller turns away from his screen and calls out to Ackbar, quite excited. The Admiral rushes over to the controller.
CONTROLLER
Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47.On the screen can be seen the moon, four massive Death Stars, and the massive Imperial fleet. The fourth Death Star suddenly opens to reveal, yet another Death Star, the FIFTH of its kind. Ackbar knows what must be done. Ackbar moves to the comlink.
ACKBAR
It’s ah... *cough*!Ackbar coughs and gasps for air. Immediately one of the controllers rushes to the drinking fountain in the corner of the command center. He quickly fills up a paper Dixie cup and rushes it over to the hacking admiral.
CONTROLLER
Sir!Ackbar grabs the cup with his crusty hands and slowly drinks the water. After wiping the remainder of the water off of his lips with his sleeve, he takes a long breath.
CONTROLLER
Sir, is that better.Ackbar nods, breathing deeply.
CONTROLLER
Sir, the fleet awaits your word.Ackbar tightens his eyes in a determined gaze and crushes the paper cup in his hand. He clears his throat and leans into the comlink.
ACKBAR
It's a trap!The command center is filled with cheers and the sound of exoskeleton claw-hands 'high-fiving' each other. The controller slaps Ackbar on the back and returns to his station.
LANDO (over comlink)
...
Fighters coming in.
Of all the ideas in this thread, THIS is the one that must happen.
Hey what if the Death Stars weren't painted grey but...................black!,,with white dots, that would be a good disguise.
J
That's brilliant!
The worst edit thread is missing out on this comedy gold. someone should copy this cra... material over there.
Done and done.

Thanks again, TV's Homer.
Hey hows this
J
How do i do an up version of this > ?
Sir, an Imp Pilot reporting from 181st Tactical Bomber squadron.... If I may sir? taking into account how ineffective we all seem to be against rebel pilots....especially a certain few individuals who shall remain nameless.....um....wait....no......aaaagh....
CURSE YOU!!! skywalker and Solo and Antilles!!!!!! RRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!......must.....pull...myself together.........i promised my mommy I wouldnt do that....Ahem...
Back to the point of my message: I've been trained to land on a death star, moving or stationary. Now taking into account how ineffective we seem to be at anything except formation flying...my question is how am i expected to dock at a space station i cant see properly, none of the flight regulations or supplementary pilots manuals mention how to detect Death Stars in Stealth mode?
Need I say more? ok back to my bunk i go. Thanks for listening folks.
Yub Yub!

There are 5 death stars hidden in this shot can you find them?

That's a whole page of funnies, now how about some ESB/ROTJ ideas?
Though I must own up to really liking the dark Death Stars, there is no reason why a new Death Star should look the same as the first one.
A dark Death Star firing a red beam would make it more like a Sith Weapon than a conventional military weapon, a rough idea of how that might look :
And the purple and indigo matches the Emperor's Throne Room interior.
Putting aside the talk of other DS's potentially appearing (which is actually a cool idea) I wanted to bring up one issue that may already have been talked about.
There's no real reason the (main) DS in Return of the Jedi would even need to look like it's always looked.
Sure the standard half-finished look is iconic....but why can't it be something different and a bit more creative? It can still be something spherical but perhaps something more dark that looks hastily put together? Maybe something like this borg sphere. Anything like this would go a long way to helping distinguishing ROTJ from being a complete retread.
