This might sound evil beyond words but there are some shots of Ewoks firing weapons in (I can't believe I'm typing this) the Ewok films (specifically the second one) that might be recycled and reworked as elements for new shots in a ROTJ redux.

I can't post examples because I don't have the DVD's (even I wouldn't buy those things especially after seeing Caravan Of Garbage in the cinema without a disguise to hide behind).

If we can make some good come from the agony of watching them would be be doing good or just adding more grit to the already contaminated intimate lubricant?

That sir, is a DAMN fine idea. I'll watch my copies tonight.

(I bought them for my kids)

 

We believe you, even if we now have the opinion that you must seriously dislike your kids ;-)

Reading the Starkiller thread and liking Commander Courage's idea of sampling Threepio from the Radio drama (which I do have), when and where it makes sense.

There might be some little bits of the VHS board game that we can slip in under Vader's mask (I'll have to watch that again too).

i would opt to watch them again but im all holiday specialed out. its like the trilogy of shame....

 As soon as I get home.

But I think we need to use this oppurtunity to add the little blond girl and the rabbit alien to ROTJ.

 They're not that bad.

They're just not very Star Warsy. It's like if ROTJ and Willow had a bastard child.

It was mentioned before about how the Ewoks could be made to be more menacing, so I made a quick little video of the "Dead Animal On A Stick" scene, with a StormTrooper helmet inserted. I know it's crude, but I only did it to see how it would look.

Don't hold back...be critical, and abusive...I can take it..... ;)

 

Definitely rough, but I like it a lot.  If it's edited exactly like that, with slightly more sinister music, and a convincing stormptrooper head, that would improve the scene tremendously.

 i'm gonna have nightmares.

Good work there Davnes007.

It might look even better if you had a couple of fighters hit the shield during the spin to turn the fleet around as well as head on. I'm assuming that the shield is tornado shaped (going by the Rebel briefing graphic) so having a big invisible column sticking up out of the planet would be a bit difficult to navigate around once you are right on top of it..

There are some very good Vader lines on that one! :)

Oh, and though I haven't seen the first Ewok movie in years, I did watch the second with my brother a while back. We still got a kick out of that little white fella that runs fast. Heh.

 

Just as a side note did I hear a rumour of a preservation DVD of the game tape?

I can't imagine my VHS tape lasting forever and it the game is actually fun when Vader orders the player with dice to stop and do something else (it reminds me of those Vic and Bob health and safety film sketches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0AppFR0qUQ ).

that should go on the back! i hate to admit it, but i preffered the ewoks cartoon to the two films. the one with the witch was the better.....oh ive said to much..

Yeah I recently added the Ewok movies to my collection, just to have them you know. Then I made the mistake of watching them. I remember them being crap but oh man I wanted gouge out my eyes! Hey look I bashed something Star wars!!

It's not easy for me either I mean bashing anything with Sian Phillips in (from I Claudius to Ewoks II). It appears it was George's daughter than inspired that masterpiece after watching Heidi with her George decided to take the worst thing from the first film and make her an orphan with a grumpy hermit replacement Grandfather.

How these can get a DVD release and the holiday special got shot into the bootleg remainder bin is baffling (they are easierly just as bad as each other).

It might however have some little elements that might come in handy if scaled down to fit into frames in ROTJ.

Cindel is a reporter on Coruscant now I believe (the EU rescued her but where's Bea Arthur?).

has anyone ever seen the STAR WARS:Droids series? is it worth watching?

don't bash me but if ady was ever planning of putting pt music in return of the jedi i like him to insert the anikin padme love theme when luke and leia are talking about their mother then it dissolves into the skywalker theme just my idea

would be interesting to see, ive seen something similar before on youtube, but like a reverse of it, playing Luke and Leia's theme in for padme and anakin, like a skywalker family tune.

was just thinking actually, with previous talk of alternative lightening and vader having a pile of flashbacks upon witnessing luke's potential death,

what if the lightening arcs seem to create faces of people who have been killed across the saga, like qui gon, mace windu, padme and obi wan. theit faint screams could be heard when a hint of their lightening outline is seen, maybe climaxing with padme screaming "ANAKIN!", and as her voice fades away he chucks the old man down a hole.

(or anti-climatically decapitates him with lukes sabre.....)

It would make sense to place the Luke and Leia theme into ROTS (when the twins are born) but Across The Stars could only be used a very little bit in that scene as it's mainly about them and not about their parents.

It's also a sweeping love theme... and since Luke and Leia already swapped spit twice, probably best to avoid that kind of mood when they're standing alone in the moonlight.

Here's a mash up of scenes from ROTJ and Ewoks 2 (remember these are full shots, parts of shots can also be sampled and inserted into existing shots or mashed in with existing shots to create new ones) :
