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?

TIE Strikers are atmospheric fighters, which might be neat for the ground battle. However, I don’t see when in the battle they could fit. The shield had to be lowered for Tydirium to land, so I’ve always imagined that there’s a shield over at least part of the surface too. Like the cone that goes up and around the DS2 is still a few miles wide on the surface to protect the shield generator from bombing runs. So any kind of aerial battle would have to happen after the shield goes down, which doesn’t leave much opportunity for air strikes.

As for those mourning the PTR, I firmly believe that Adywan was not your last hope. There are plenty of talented people on this forum and others who have been reworking the prequels for years.

Well, they are mainly atmospheric fighters but as Wiki says:

Though designed for atmosphere, it could also function in space and accompany traditional TIE fighters. Equipped with advanced high-speed wings, it was faster than the standard TIE fighter and had two extra pairs of laser barrels.
The starfighter was also useful for shifting supplies and personnel from orbit to the planet surface, thanks to a larger central pod.

They can be used in space and can accompany regular TIE fighters. Their presence in the final battle especially makes sense because it takes place above a planet where it would be most useful for shifting supplies and personnel from orbit to the planet surface and to fend off any attackers if the shield goes down. They should be seen orbiting the planet and moving up to the battle when the fight heats up.

Maybe they can be added in the huge formations when the Emperor arrives, or escorting cargo ships from the surface to the DS2…
