Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist — Page 88

Those ROTJ SD bridge mock up looks great. It doesn't really bother me that they've re-arranged some things on the bridge. I don't see why they can't

Does the movie ROTJ ever say that is the Executor? Aside from novels and EU? Which aren't CANON, If were going down the route that ONLY the films and their end credits are canon.

no it doesn't. btw vaderios, nice vid. the bridge edit u did gave me an idea. can u somehow do something that shows the shuttle on a display or out of the view port? vader asks where the shuttles going while he's looking out of the bridge, but its just space.

oh and as a deleted scene or something restore lukes blue saber in jedi!

I'm not too keen on that, I like the fact that Luke's sabre is similar to Ben's but unique, it signals that he is no longer just following in the footsteps of his idealised dream of what his father was but is a man in his own right and a Jedi in the mold of Obi-Wan but new (green is the colour of spring and re-birth).

I realise that is just a romantic interpretation of a piece of hardware but Vader does make a point of the new weapon and the skill needed to construct it.

ROTJ needs to clutch onto whatever mythic unique qualities it has.

awsome!. I never liked how dark that scene was.

That shot have no sense at ALL...

Just completetely ignore the holo. I messed up the saves and i hadnt the undo i was needed.

 

Considering ady's way of thinking i could propose a vader from 501st legion to move like the movie so the bridge isnt full in the middle of nowhere.

 I like the holo.

but why the "much like your father's" line in JEDI?

Because it's like (as in being a lightsabre) but not the same, he didn't say, "exactly like your father's", besides that observation would still stand if Luke's blade was blue, Vader's blade is red (or pink on the DVD's) and the hilt is completely different.

And that's telling because though both are Skywalkers and Jedi, Luke pulls back from temptation.

I always understood that he was implying that Luke had so far done pretty much everything the way that Anakin had done, and was toying with him, saying "Your father fell to me, it's only a matter of time before you do."

Clearly, the prequels ruined that interpretation, like many others.

the PT didn't have anything to do with it. luke built a new lightsaber and vader even says that he did. he's just toying with luke. "c its ur fathers lightsaber! want it? take it? its right here my little skywalker jr."

Something went wrong with Mel around the time of Blazing Saddles (which is very over-rated) if you look at The Producers, Young Frankenstein and to a lesser extent Silent Movie and High Anxiety, it's hard to believe that the same guy ended up doing Life Stinks, Men In Tights and that Dracula spoof which was so bad I can't even be bothered to remember the title.

Everything about Young Frankenstein just works and it's reverentially close to it's source material in a way that Spaceballs really couldn't be (Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman aren't in it either). Mel understood the films he was referencing in Young Frankenstein but Spaceballs seems to be a spoof made by someone who doesn't really get the films he is sending up.

As for the ROTJ Executor Bridge, I think the main problem is that they had taken down and got rid of the antechambers off the corridor if those could be reinstated using footage from ESB the shield monitor console could be moved to there and we could avoid having a computer terminal in the middle of a walkway.

Move the scene to this location :

An idea I'd like to offer for ROTJ:R is Vader having flashbacks during his duel with Luke, just like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RulmOAeJ4c

I'm with BarBar - this is an absolutely awful idea.  It really bashes the audience over the head in a very inappropriate way.
