Yeah! it adds a drug addict character to him! perfectly  fitting into an enviroment like jabba's palace!

Good job :)

The poor bugger has been smoking too many deathsticks and snorting spice up his trunk.

Honestly, I'm not sure about those particular eyelids.  Blinking, yes, but Greedo in ANHR didn't look so stoned. ;-)

I'm sure other eyelids are doable but Max as he stands looks like...well...a toy elephant and yes why not have him stoned out of his box he is a Jazz musician? Maybe he should have a Camberwell Carrot drooping ash out of his hand too.

Greedo looked like an alien to start with animating him just made him look more alive, the Ewoks and some of Jabba's court just look like cuddly playthings.

If I can get my computer to actually agree to edit anything (something I'm having problems with at the moment) I'm toying with replacing Jedi Rocks/Lapti Nek with some really sleazy stripper type music. I'd love to turn Jabba's palace into an alien private lap dancing club for the slug and his pals, that will be more in keeping with his character.

I'm toying with replacing Jedi Rocks/Lapti Nek with some really sleazy stripper type music.

I thought about that, when doing my silent edit. But ended with the CD version of Lapti Nek, cause I wanted to keep the edit "all Williams". But maybe Williams did some other music (from other movies) that could fit that scene.

I quote myself now from wayyy back.

I do have a problem with Luke levitating Threepio being enough to scare the little buggers into letting our heroes go. For years now the Ewoks would have seen a strange moon growing in their sky, plastic men flying on metal bikes and firing lightning out their hands (laser guns not Sith magic), so would they be so scared of some golden boob floating around on a chair? Couldn't Luke pull off a more effective light show and spare us Threepio acting like Dr Smith in "Lost In Space"?

I've been thinking about what can be done here, couldn't Luke get R2 to project a hologram over Threepio of some alarming creature, the floating chair isn't enough, what with what the Ewoks had been seeing on their world around that time.

I ve got you point. Still if 3PO is like a god to ewoks it can has more influence on them, even that they see the DS and stormies around. And its cool that luke can use his powers at last.

Also 3PO has bad reflections is these scenes :(

Luke could use his powers and Ben's Krayt call over the top of the hologram, that would really freak the little bear folk out.

If it's to make the sky look more interesting I can't help but think it would make more sense to give the moon of Endor an interesting planet to be the moon of rather than giving a moon a moon which isn't refererred to once in the film.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I just suck at explaining stuff, lol. Something like this:




EDIT: Here's one I found on Wookiepedia:

Yeah, that's a good idea. I just found those ones on the web. But here is one I just made on Photoshop ( Made it waaay too dark!):

The deathstar should look like moon. so only light and some minor details should be visible.

plus the perspective we supposed to see the bottom of it and the shield dish should always point it.

I like your approach of total black it adds a dangerous silence but it lacks of dramatical atmosphere.

Same with the planet.

 

I ll try to do some mockups sometime later :)

If the sky was pitch black the Death Star would reflect back a lot of light so it would glow (not quite as much as the moon but a lot more than we ever saw in the theatrical version). It's only in evening and morning that you would get the diffusion thus seen.

That would be cool to see. Overall, I do hope Ady does make the PLANET Endor visible in some way.

Random Question: Was Max Rebo made out of paper mache?

that could make an awesome poster

haha. that made me laugh. im surprised lucasfilm's cheese department hasnt always marketed that yet!

That is beautiful work Vaderious. It would make a lovely animated downward panning GIF.

I love you all.  That pandown is incredible.  Yes, animate that GIF!
