I think the only weird part is where Han and Chewie try to fix the hyperdrive or something ... there could be laser and hitsounds, maybe even a softer shake (because we need to have a difference, when the Falcon enters the asteroid field)

on the other hand, IN the asteroid field, I wouldn't change anything, as I have played many space simulators, and trying to NOT getting hit by a rock and to successfully target an enemy is nearly impossible - at least if you aren't a Jedi ;-)

^ WOW !!!

I have had an idea of how to perhaps improve the prequal trilogy.

What if it was cell shaded like a scanner darkly or ralph baski's lord of the rings.

I think this could perhaps lend to it a unique style whilst making the actual footage which is cartoon like an actual cartoon.

It could also make it easirr to change it far more radically while bolstering bad performances in a cartoon setting.

I think this could go in it's favour

^THIS idea should go in the "Prequel Radical Redux" thread ;-)

The idea of Luke NOT joining up with the rest of the friends/rebels/alliance opens an interesting space for a possible future edit of episode VII ;-)

He would have taken the same path as old Ben maybe to learn in solistice (again), finding new recruits and rebuilding the Jedi order ... or ?

And on the other hand we would have the Galaxy still in turmoil (Rebel-) Alliance against the (remains of the) Empire - but what "secrets" could the former "Galactic" Empire hold ? (not to step unto more EU territory)

Well, too bad so many things what could have been and too few that really were (like the PTs) ...

As for the force ghosts - Ben & Yoda should stay as "old friends" Luke left behind (party or not) - Anakin finally released as spirit at his "funeral" is a nice touch, not sure if not better to show Shaw version though

Without watching the scene of the chamber where his helmet is put back on theres a good excuse for a pressurised air sound effect or some enhancement to when the helmet is fixed back on to vader.

Without watching it i don't recall any sound effect when the helmet is put back on in the chamber

There's already an excellent pressurizing sound effect. It's been making my head hurt since 1980. Sounds like it would suck your eyes out!

^That!

one of the best sound effects in the whole saga ;-)

always gives me the goose bumps ...

That's "LOOM" - came out in the 90ties ;-)

you can still play it on Steam ...

good point with 3PO, yes that could have worked, but in this edit I think we should stick with the basics and improve only what needs to be ...

yeah, Einstein was on Bespin before Han ;-)

It's like the original idea of Star Trek, when the ships duel more like submarines than battlecruisers ...


I think Fett could use his "jammer" and silently follow his prey - like "hunting for October" ;-)

jumping to Hyperspace should warn Solo, that he wasn't alone at that moment !?

Alot of you may have seen this already. He came up with some good ideas for EpI a while back....

I really liked the idea how Obi-Wan should have been - a Jedi who is in doubt and at the end of his journey stands for the things the Order made good!

Anakin not a whiny teenager, more of a struggling symbol - and a test for Obi-Wan

I wish there was some way for me to help out... :-(

yeah, wish there was some tool like they used for SETI, so the community could help with the rendering or share ressources - things Ady and folks need to do by hand are limited to them still ...


I hope we get a very special xmas present this year ;-)

I really like that look :-)


wish there was a "filter" for "bad story/dialogue" ...

but if he is frozen - how can he breath or move ?

I always bougth Lando reading the Display, telling him that whatever is encased is OK ;-)

lets just say: Lucasfilm messed this one up!

it really was intended to be the same ship, as merchandise and novel show, but in the making of ROTS they used another model for the ship or made too many mistakes ...

If there were Y-Wings in the Clone Wars, why not have the Tantive IV being one old reused ship from that time - the differences could also be adjustings over time ?

on the other hand, one could correct the Tantive IV to it's Episode IV look ;-)

But someone in a theater in 2005 was supposed to see it as a will-be remodeled Taintive IV? Does anyone have the novelization handy, to reference?

yep, I just checked: it reads "Tantive IV" in the novel!

and 2006 Wizards brought out a miniature game with figures and starships, and guess what: I got the blue "Tantive IV" ;-)

Dagobah never quite bothered me, not as much as Endor, my friggin backyard looks like Endor.

so you got that "Ewok-problem" there too ?

Darth Solo said:

Dagobah trees on hoth???

Eye spy with my little eye.....the sheild generator model in the background aswell. Pluckin whoa master Ady!

Highly doubt it but what about adding McQuarries:

If things go according to plan then you may see this creature on Dagobah.

COOL! makes the wait for ROTJ:R even harder ;-)

Great handcrafting! I thought on building some scenes from Star Wars for my figures and ships, but one thing is the needed space and on the other hand I would have to practice some technices first, before it could go on display ;-)

=> ROTJ:R

Let me guess: it involves Luke's X-Wing?

sorry for taking this off-topic, but anyone here going to "Celebration Europe II" in Essen (Germany) ?

I wish had time for a long weekend, thinking only to ride for a Saturday trip there ...

this one could interest some of you folks:

Well the Prequels need every possible improvement they can get ;-)

So it is nice to have this edit as a foundation for new versions of the story that was before the OT ...

If the whole lightsaber debate has a deeper meaning, not just "we didn't see color X in the OT" - saying the colors have a meaning in tradition or aspect of the Force, then go with it - for me it isn't that of a problem, because we had only blue and red until Luke built his green one in ROTJ (and if we go back to concept art, the lightsabers would have been all white!)

My only gripe with the "Clone Wars" is, that we don't see some "old" ships, as with the Y-Wings, those need to be inserted at some point!

if the version with the inserted cave could be made to look better, I rather have that ;-)

but "adding the monitor" is ok too - hope that folks notice it ...

@ oh_riginal

was the "Han Solo Prediction" also from you ?

interesting, I had always thought he used his instruments, scanners and therefore could say that behind the ridge would be a cave ...

"Always those pesky Vadergrams ..."

last call, then I will rest this case ;-)

I made a mockup how it could be, not saying Ady should do it, but maybe it helps folks here for their edit/s:

ok, I wanted to figure out why some folks here pick at the hologram,  not really trying to pick at it myself ;-)

just to be clear: from the down angle, wouldn't it seem more natural, that Vaders hands cover those two "boxes" - they look smaller in ANH and ROTJ, than in ESB or is it another "eyetrick" ?
