Just as vanity project (and it just popped up on the ESB:R thread).

If we stuck this guy :

in one of these suits :

just for a little shot it would be cool beyond words.

I'm glad you brought this over to this thread.  I cannot endorse this idea enough.

Thanks, yeah I know the more ties idea wont be used so thats why I put those screenies in here. Here is another idea that I floated a few posts back... I did the best I could without taking all day so please be kind...

Looks pretty good!  I've never tried adding shadows to an image, but you did really well!  They could be less defined, as Vader doesn't have a crisp shadow like they do.  Not much direct light under that thing, I guess.

It's "Gaff" from Blade Runner, yes.  Also played "Bill Adama" in Battlestar Galactica (2003).  We should totally insert him into RotJ as an A-wing pilot.  That would be the most awesome thing ever.

that is one of the more well known gaffs

I've never heard of it before, not like this one :

 

Nice one.  So say we all. ;-)

Axia, maybe you meant the ESBR thread?  Well, technically this is an ESBR thread, but not much anymore....

Doesn't help that Wicket seems to do all of the action in those movies.  If we splice him into RotJ, he'll get around the battle rather fast.

Oh poo....Now that was a good joke.

We hear you, Tauntaun bag lovers! We'll take your ravenous needings into consideration, despite Tauntaun scarcity.

I believe that ThinkGeek has actually made some of the April Fool's products in the past.

He says he physically spliced in the 97SE scenes into the original print.  Which, of course, is ridiculous.

An Ewoks/RotJ hybrid?  It could work, at least for getting more Ewoks into scenes.

Here's something you may want to include in your edit, Ady, especially when Rogue 2 finds Han and Luke:

A Tauntaun sleeping bag!

Dig that intestinal lining! :p

Man I love that. Got to get my son one of those!!

I know its a gag, but I want one.

I think it looks a little too computer generated, which is weird for a physical puppet.  But I'm sure we'll get used to it, just like we did with the 3 different wampas we see in the original version.  At least they'll all look the same this time!

I'm all for cutting Ben's conversation out entirely.  I do, however, think Luke needs to be on Dagobah before he's on Tatooine - we need to feel like he's been training there for a long period of time since "Empire" ended.  As it is, it feels like he got a couple weeks of training, left like an idiot, then decided he was a Jedi before even seeing Yoda again.  It just doesn't feel like he's had enough time to become a Jedi.

And I don't have a problem with introducing Jabba on the Lapti Nek (which SHOULD be replaced with something!)/Boussh sequence.  It works well as an introduction in my opinion, and sets a much more sinister tone for the film and for Jabba's lair.

It's odd that Han's line "I'm out of it for a little while and everyone gets delusions of granduer" is actually more true than it plays in the scene.  It does seem that Luke is a bit crazy, going in there unarmed with only one extended session of training...

It was mentioned before about how the Ewoks could be made to be more menacing, so I made a quick little video of the "Dead Animal On A Stick" scene, with a StormTrooper helmet inserted. I know it's crude, but I only did it to see how it would look.

Don't hold back...be critical, and abusive...I can take it..... ;)

 

I'll agree that it is crude.  That's some big headed stormtrooper ;-)

The music is too whimsical for the gruesome scene and would need to be changed.  Also, the Dead Animal would have to be erased from inside the net.

But it just might work, honestly.

We've had most of the Dagobah discussion already.  And if you check out the YODA TWEAKED video on the first page, you'll see that Ady has already begun work on tweaking Yoda a bit.  Very cool stuff.

Hey, thanks doubleofive, I checked the video, and I hardly noticed anything new (that could be good I guess), it looks good though....but I might be getting my impression solely on the color correction improvement. Thanks for the post

You've got to watch Yoda's mouth.  He actually forms his words instead of just flapping his mouth around.  Notice the W's, especially in "This one, a long time have I watched."

I'm excited, and I don't even plan on getting the SLV!

Yoda Is Your Father said:

I've read the comic and enjoyed the film but there was a lot missing and I'm not sure how well it would work as a film in it's own right.

It didn't, at least in my opinion.  Either way too much happened, or way too little.  I still haven't figured it out.

I wish there were more fan edits just to fix technical/logical flaws.

Jedi Dark Knight said:

I've noticed much interest has gone to either Cloud City of Hoth. No Dagobah suggestions....is it perfect as it is? I can only remember vague things....breathing life into Yoda would be nice, CG maybe? [please don't fire your turbolasers at me!]

Okay folks,

I'm going to create a list ala the ESB:R list I have regarding the Prequel ideas.  I will separate them by movie and scene (just like the ESB:R list) so as to better keep track of ideas and suggestions.

Good luck with that.  I can't imagine how you'll organize it.  Keep your eyes open on the front page of ESBR, as Ady is replacing his change list with one I made to match my ROTJR list.

I was surprised there wasn't a "page turn" wipe in the PT. ;-)

Would this be better off in Feature Requests?  I'm sure it'll get moved.

I had a friend in elementary school (early 90's) and every time we sat at our Apple-IIs in computer class, we'd say "A keyboard, how quaint", crack our knuckles, and type randomly.

I watched the Kid's Choice commercial, and it did give me worries.  I hope against all hopes that it makes sense in context, because... *cringe*

nevermind.

The problem with that is everyone's reaction to it.  Chewie and Han don't think anything of a dead animal on a stick, but Luke senses a trap.  A stormtrooper helmet on a stick with the head still inside it?  Definate trap, and might even freak Han out a bit.  Changing Han's line from "It's just a dead animal" to "It's just a stormtrooper head" is either extremely hilarious or extremely badass.

I like the shots of the big fights from each movie, as the sets become more and more virtual.  Huge hanger deck set, sand on the floor for Geonosis, a big green room for Mustafar.
