The Unofficial Complete REVISITED SAGA Ideas and Random Discussion Thread

I’ve read numerous posts in regards to removing Boba Fett from Jabba’s Palace during Jedi. While I understand the reasoning for this, I think it would be more interesting if he was their waiting for Luke to attempt a rescue Han.

After Luke arrives, Boba Fett can inform Vader that Luke is at Jabba’s Palace. I would probably place this after Luke has killed the Rancor, but before him and Han are reunited:

INT. DEATHSTAR. VADERS CHAMBERS

VADER sits in his mediation chamber. BOBA FETT appears on the view screen.

VADER:
What is it, bounty hunter.

FETT:
Skywalker is here.

VADER:
See to it that he remains there.

Vader leaves the Death Star aboard his shuttle.

Then I would place between the barge explosion and falcon/ x-wing leaving Tatooine:

Vader can then arrive and enter through the main gates of the palace (mirroring Lukes entrance), however he snaps the necks of the guards, and find the palace practically empty. This would be after the barge explodes and skiff zooms away…

Then cut to the falcon and x-wing leaving Tatooine.

To me Jedi has always felt a like a film of two somewhat disconnected halves, I think this would go a long way to remedying that.

Another idea for ROTJ would be to have C-3PO inform Han that the Ewoks were already preparing an assault on the Imperial base, therefore their weapons and traps are justified (I know this is something that bothers a lot of people.)

Loving the Vader idea. I had a similar idea of having Fett giving for a fee the location of the Emperor to the rebels and also getting paid by Vader as this would lead them into discovering the second Death Star thus baiting the trap. Your idea of Vader finding the palace empty is good too. You could replace Luke with Vader and use the same footage. I always thought the Force Choke move should be a Vader only move. He uses it because he has to fight for every breath so his signature punishment is deny breath from his opponents. Having Luke do it does foreshadow his darkside potential as does Leia choking Jabba but it’s just seems too dark for a Jedi move.

STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>

For your consideration but I’m not sure if I’m sold on the idea.
RE: Marcia Lucas’ recent comments about the sudden appearance of the Falcon in the trench run.

It makes no logical sense, as the station defenses were designed to repulse ships larger than fighters.

It would have been nice if we heard a thunderclap of the Falcon jumping from hyperspace close to the station (taking a risk that he warned Luke about earlier in the film) but then you would miss the ship coming out of the sun.

Maybe Ady could play around with the concept in his next iteration of the film. I think as cinema it makes sense but even in a fantasy context it’s putting the Mechina into the Deus Ex.

Random Thoughts

Next week is the last week of my current job.
It’s been a bit difficult saying goodbye to so many fantastic volunteers and co-workers.

I had a job interview today. It didn’t go well. Very theatrically staged.

I was ushered into a room which looked very much like my old lab and I had to write a submission of ideas, timed.
I was then taken into a room with a very tall ceiling and a huge conference table. There were three middle aged bearded men interviewing a middle aged bearded man for a job on a equalities council.

I wouldn’t have been impressed with myself, I got a bit tense and stuttered and my brain froze up a bit but it was an experience. The annoying thing is I turned down a film audition (minor part nothing fancy) to have this job interview.

I logged on to my email and was greeted by two more rejection notices. It take many hours to fill these in. Nobody accepts CVs (resumes for my American pals) so you have to manually enter the data over and over. So to get a cut and paste generic rejection email is very dispiriting.

Something will probably turn up. “Keep Buggering On” is possibly my motto but it would be nice if it was easy for a while.

Should Vader and The Emperor even know who Yoda is?

I too think it would be best if Yoda remained a mystery and wasn’t a head of the council etc.
That he didn’t chose swampy forest because of an exile, but as a place to test himself, or a seclusion while he explores the Force, entire place for younger jedies should be sort of a pilgrimage where he decides are they worthy or not to be trained by him.

Didn’t he say he had a council on who was to be trained in ESB though?

“My own counsel will I keep, on who is to be trained!”

Counsel =/= Council

That’s just an interpretation though. He could have full well meant council.

The Script says:

  		YODA
  Ready, are you?  What know you 
  of ready?  For eight hundred years 
  have I trained Jedi.  My own counsel 
  will I keep on who is to be trained!
  A Jedi must have the deepest 
  commitment, the most serious mind.

They’re completely different words.

Wait, Yoda has his own personal council? Cool!

I’ll bet he also has very strict Principals.

“I’m not a committee!”

It’s going to be The Empire Strikes Back Ady style with Jonno’s support feature reconstruction. WUP! WUP!

I should probably get around to downloading it now that I’m back.

What’s this Jonno thing?

He has done fun reconstructions of the sorts of adverts, trailers and support pictures that would have preceded the showing of the original films in the UK.

Irregardless of if he was removed I would like to at least hear Yoda’s dialogue so he isn’t jumbling up his words like he did when he was pretending to be a goofy swamp-dweller.

He jumbles his words after he drops the crazy act - it’s just how he speaks. It would feel really weird for him to be speaking normally IMO, even in a place where the whole planet is one big city.

He drops the act and drops the speach mode. He only resumes it in Jedi when he is making the joke about looking good for his age.
