My concern is why does it have to be Adywan-specific, and not just go in the Wishlist Thread you already referenced?
Who else right now can or is willing to attempt any of this? If there was one guy and his team who I believe can pull these kinds of ideas off, it would be Ady’s - that’s why it is Adywan-specific, otherwise I don’t follow what the concern is. If anyone else wants these ideas, they’re certainly up for taking of course.
Do you think you might make a cameo as a soldier or pilot or something 005? That’d be really cool 😃
There is a chance of other editors gaining the momentum to make some additional changes. It is a shame these ideas aren’t on one of the other threads but it’s your thread. Getting your ideas out there is good for everyone interested in this sort of work, The StarKiller Ranch thread of old was full of fun ideas too.

Did you manage to archive any of the ideas and mockups from your wordpress collection of wishlist ideas 005?
Once a certain former member threatened to sue or something if I didn’t take down their mockups, I’m pretty sure I just wiped it out.

Hey .Mac.
A few weeks back you were kind enough to respond to my list of ideas and suggested that I might be interested in reading yours. It’s taken me a few weeks to get through all of your suggestions, but I wanted to be sure that I went through each idea and give them their proper due.
Let me start by saying that your love and dedication to Star Wars is obvious. In my opinion, this is probably of THE definitive list that I’ve seen so far for continuity errors and effects changes that should be considered for any ROTJ fan fix. You’ve pointed out things here that I’ve never even noticed, and to be honest a part of me wishes that you hadn’t because once you “seen” an error it’s impossible to “un-see” it. 😉
I think that you already know and that you’ve over-reached in some areas but I’m glad that you didn’t hold back in putting your suggestions out there. While getting lookalikes and voice impersonators probably won’t get much traction, I hope that Ady will give your thread a proper read to pick out what he thinks are valuable changes to be made. Since we know that he’s adding additional Rebels to Endor, perhaps some of your strike team ideas can be incorporated… You never know where your ideas might take some people!
Let me also say that I’m more than a little disappointed with some people’s responses on this thread. Not bothering to read your work is one thing, but then to specifically take the time to post and be a dick about it is another. I guess that makes some people feel big from behind the safety of a keyboard. Don’t listen to them. Having the courage to put your ideas out there is what is big.
Keep up the good work. I’ll be sure to pay extra attention when I see you’re posts to see what else you’ve come up with.

This.
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words, nhoj3 😄 I’m happy you managed to find time to read it! Right away I could tell you were another person here whose ideas and thought process I’d greatly value, and that’s why I was hopeful you might see what you thought about this 😃
You and others are right, there are ideas in there I admit would be over-reaching and very, very difficult to accomplish (borderline impossible), on top of being controversial too, such as inserting a brand new actor as Madine and shooting whole new shots with him at the helm of his own cruiser, etc… but then there’s always smarter people than I who come along and say, “Well, there is no way that can work exactly in that way, but how about this alternative?” 😃 That’s what I’m hoping for, for this to be helpful and inspirational to Ady or anyone who reads it, and my mind would be blown by the sheer genius if they manage to pull much of these off. Like you said, I didn’t want to hold back with ideas, because no matter how difficult or controversial they may be, there’s no way of knowing for sure what can or cannot be done or what other ideas it might influence 😉
Regarding the lookalikes and voice impersonators, if the interest was there, that actually might not be so difficult. I think that’s how Ady initially found a Darth Vader for ESB:R, was through Facebook? I’m pretty sure he still has a fellow with an authentic 3PO costume too (and a great voice). Putting out a call for certain parts on social media could always be a good idea 😃

Hi ray_afraid,
I mean this question with 100% sincerity and 0% dickishness… but why “This.”?
Honestly, I’ve looked through the guidelines and don’t see how this thread violates anything. Furthermore I looked at page 1 of the “ESB and ROTJ wishlist” and even the OP in that thread references Adywan in the first sentence. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s only “ESB and ROTJ” (and not ANH) because Ady had just released ANH Revisited, making it an unofficial Revisited thread, not a generic OT thread.
I’m really struggling with the etiquette of this site. To me it seems pretty arbitrary. If you could point me to something definitive that makes you say “This”, I would greatly appreciate it because I don’t want a post that I’ve thought long and hard about to be ignored because of some guideline that I’ve missed.
Thanks in advance…
