The PT should have been made to match the OT and the OT shouldn’t be altered to match that crap. That crap should be altered to match the OT.

Not only the PT but the Disney too.

You know what? Referring to the new movies as “Disney’s Star Wars” is like calling the new Mummy movie as “Comcast’s The Mummy.” Lucasfilm is owned by Disney in the same way that Universal is owned by Comcast.

I for one will now only refer to “Comcast’s The Mummy” as “Comcast’s The Mummy”.

But the shield doesn’t protect the whole planet.

The reason they have to lower the shield for Tydirium is for that section on the ground. The entire Endor part of the movie takes place in this how-many-ever square mile area…

Actually I always thought the shield is emanated from that enormous dish, several miles from the landing platform.
Star Wars complete locations book says the same.
The Dish it is visibly aimed at the Death Star.
The shield emanating from the dish does not cover any part of the ground.
So I see no reason to deactivate it, or fly even close to that. The landing platform is several miles from the dish.
On that holoprojection, the shield should look needle thin near the surface.
Also the book says, “the above ground shield projector plus the undergound power generator and the shield projector complex is about 43 miles in diameter”. And according to that map the distance between the Dish and the landing platform is ca. 4 miles.

edit:
here is the shield projector (page 140)

If they don’t have to lower the shield for Tydirium to land, why do they have to lower the shield for Tydirium to land? I mean, if Ady cuts that whole bit and has Han & Co just sneak onto Endor without a code clearance, then that makes sense. But currently they definitely need the shield to be down to land near the generator.

I just donated $100. Best of luck.

We all thank you for that! Wow!

I didn’t read through all 14 pages so some of these ideas on my wishlist may have been already been suggested.

*The shield generator is on the Endor Moon, so maybe on wide space shots add the planet Endor behind the moon.

I’m big on this one. Like how you can see Yavin when the ships are leaving Yavin IV.

*If you are adding female rebel pilots, consider re-voicing a stormtrooper, or better yet a biker scout, with a woman’s voice. I wanted to suggest that for ESB:R but it was too late.

I like the idea of this, but there’s only a handful of lines…

*Would also love to see a shield aperture similar to Scarif on the Endor Moon.

But the shield doesn’t protect the whole planet.

The reason they have to lower the shield for Tydirium is for that section on the ground. The entire Endor part of the movie takes place in this how-many-ever square mile area…

*A shot with Tie-Strikers patrolling Endor.

…which also limits the air stuff that can take place. The area is big enough for speeder bikes to not really worry about where they’re going, so maybe we could have some Strikers? I think Vader’s shuttle when he goes to pick up Luke doesn’t need an escort because it’s inside the shield the whole time.

*When you re-do the rebel hanger, a snowspeeder tucked away in a corner half covered with a tarp would be a nice tie in to ESB. Colonial Viper would be a cool Easter egg.

LOL, that’d be great. They do make Vipers in the right scale… 😉

*Shots of rebel gunners in the Millennium Falcon.

Could be cool.

*See different angles of the Death Star

Another thing I want.

*fix noticeable back seam on Ewok’s costume

Which one? https://starwarsscreencaps.com/star-wars-episode-vi-return-of-the-jedi-1983/

On a side note, I have tried to find the forum for the original Star Wars: Revisited with no luck. If it is still available, could someone PM me the link? Thanks.

I love how it’s literally two threads down. 😉

Easy to fix: when Lando goes into hyper-space, just add a “oups!” (tracked from little Ani).

or as I recommended on Page 2:
“Maybe it would be wise to switch the two jump segments, that the Calamari Cruser with the Admiral jumps first.
That would clearly work as a ‘MARK’ by the Admiral I guess.”

The capital ships going first makes sense if they’re slower, so they arrive at the same time…

ROUND 4 - now 22 movies!!! The Ritty's Star Wars Saga (Released)

DigMod said:

The vauge comments are probably due to the fact that we have no idea beyond short snippets of what you’ve done with these. I don’t think many are going to be willing to invest 20 hours into something we have no clue about…though I suppose some people did stick around for he entire extended Hobbit series…:p

Yeah, a general cut list and list of sources would be cool.

Why would a Vader/Fett little chat be of any use ? I mean, does Fett try to keep Luke alive at any point in the movie ? The idea sounds cool but nothing in the actual movie would be consistent with it.

He wraps him up with his arm cord thingy rather than just shoot him at one point on the skiff battle.

Then he stands up and starts shooting at him, prompting Chewie to warn Han about him.

Another 2011 change, what about the new insert shot of Han hitting Boba Fett’s jetpack, which has gone completely unexplained?

Someone here also made a good case for a lot of the 2011 changes seeming so random because newly added foreground elements are things that could easily be made to pop in the planned 3D releases. New ESB sparks, the dug thing, a crazy ass door, R2’s rocks, maybe Han’s thawing effect?

I know, I’m pretty great.

I would certainly prefer if the dug thing was absent from the steps, though. Any word on that one?

I didn’t even bring the Dug up because it doesn’t make any sense in a shot that’s supposed to show that EVERYONE is asleep.

Another thing, I wonder if Ady can get rid of the audio of Greedo from ANH from Jabba’s Throne Room.

I wonder when Ady can come in and say that he’s certainly not adding MORE Boba Fett to the movie.

I’ve been looking forward to people listing the little things that ate at them for years. Like a moving blaster hole or scuff mark, or like someone just pointed out, the fact that Luke’s lightsaber expands in size randomly.

What about the Blu-ray changes? Ady kept the sparks in the Cloud City junk room. Will he keep the new unthawing animation? What about R2’s extra gizmos that pop out when he’s shot? WHAT ABOUT JABBA’S PALACE DOOR THAT’S NOW 3 TIMES BIGGER ON THE OUTSIDE THAN THE INSIDE?
