While it would be cool to see Vader on Tatooine again, it’s ultimately a dead-end for him in terms of the plot. We know Vader is still interested in finding Luke, and a single scene with Boba Fett could communicate this. Also, the Emperor suggests that he has suspended his search for Luke temporarily when he says ‘And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.’

I like the slave mine idea. It would also be good to see increased security leading into Jabba’s palace, like some automatic turrets on either side of the big door and perhaps some more security in the entrance hall. Make it seem like this is really a well-defended fortress.

Now, there’s the perennial issue of Luke’s plan to save Han. Having thought about it, there’s clearly no master plan, merely a loose strategy. First Lando is sent undercover to get information about Jabba. Then the droids are sent as a peace offering to make a deal. When they fail, Leia is sent in with Chewie to break Han out, and when that fails Luke goes in alone. When taken as parts of a master plan, it makes no sense, but it does make sense if Luke were trying to learn from his mistakes in Empire. He’s now relying on his friends to help, trusting that they can take care of themselves in a dangerous situation. He’s also trusting the Force to guide his actions, rather than using its power in a singleminded attempt to overwhelm the opposition. It’s a mature, if rather chaotic, approach which suggests that merely by involving all his friends he is setting up a future victory, even if he cannot foresee such a victory. Communicating this would be tricky, and about the only avenue would be the crawl. Something like this:

Luke Skywalker has returned
to his home planet of Tatooine
in an attempt to rescue his
friend Han Solo from the
clutches of the vile gangster
Jabba the Hutt.

As he grows in wisdom, Luke
turns to the strength of his
friends and the Force to win
the day, even as his enemies
plot to destroy the Rebellion.

For little does Luke know that
the GALACTIC EMPIRE is secretly
constructing a new armored
space station even more
powerful than the first
dreaded Death Star…

Intact Luke

The whole design looks like one big…

I wouldn’t expect it for a few months at least, which is why I went ahead with a v1. 😃

You know how they tried to avoid an explicit phallic reference in the X-wing design?

These fail.

I’m good with just ignoring the Prequels. There are only 5 Star Wars movies right now, can’t wait for the 6th!

You know, Disney made some Star Wars movies as well. I’d even say they were better than the Ewok movies.

Geez, you can’t even read thread titles right.

Don’t attack Alderaan! Alderaan is peaceful, he has no weapons, you couldn’t possibly…

The 20gb version is on the 'spleen!

Running torrents off of your website is a good way to run into legal trouble.

I think that Vader going all the way to Tattooine only to find an empty palace would make him seem even weaker than he does in ROTJ.

Really, there only needs to be one scene:
Fett: "Skywalker is here. I can deliver him, but it may be in pieces."
Vader: "I want him alive, bounty hunter."
Fett: “As you wish.”

Then Fett’s actions during the sail barge scene would make more sense. He originally tries to hold him at gunpoint, and when that fails he tries to wrap him in cords, then when that still doesn’t work and realizing that Luke is too powerful for him to handle he goes for the kill.

Which is why it’s so disappointing that they weren’t brave enough to go full on terrorist with the Order in the First place.

Great work, very natural.

Reminds me of Data’s Paintings from the TNG Edits on Youtube.

If I’m interpreting it correctly, then that’s dark.

The prequels are too ingrained in the public consciousness to simply remake them without a lot of issues. I think the best idea, if they went the prequel route, would be to make a trilogy that happens concurrently with the Lucas prequels and exists in the same continuity, but focus on the smaller players in the Clone Wars. Episode 1 starts in the middle of the clone wars, Episode 2 happens alongside ROTS, and Episode 3 depicts a galaxy ravaged by war under the iron fist of the Empire. Focusing on normal people rather than Jedi would make the Droid/Clone armies actually threatening, and it could explore some new droid design space since there were many separatist factions. The films could reference the political situation, but never more than happened in the OT. The Jedi remain largely mythical, the story takes place on the fringes of civilization like in the OT, everyone’s happy.

The first post contains quite a few comparisons, but unfortunately since ScreenshotComparison.com cleaned out their database only my version is viewable. I’ll probably replace them with WilliamRob’s website links, and make a large comparison folder on Google Drive which catalogs some of the bigger changes, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I don’t know when the smaller version will be ready for the spleen, shouldn’t be too long.

I never said it was intentional.

Sounds reasonable 😃

File this under totally random speculation, but I wonder if some of Trump’s speaking style could be classified as ASMR or hypnosis. Specifically it’s when he reverts from his carnival barker impression to a quiet, subdued voice. It’s often at the end of a rant, and he repeats the statements multiple times. I noticed that I was getting creeped out by these quiet statements more than his shouting, and couldn’t fully explain why. Now I think that among his base, it may be a form of hypnotic suggestion.

Thanks! I may look into that. The trailer was going to be for the Technicolor Recreation, actually, but it got left by the wayside at some point and I never got to finishing it. Perhaps at some point it will be done.

Well the '97 version is slightly Frankensteined in two places to make it line up with the Blu-ray, but it’s hardly (if at all) noticeable.
