Beautiful!
A Jedi does not rummage for his lightsaber. He calls it with the force and it comes.
I think part of the problem most of us have with this is the fact that he looks a lot like the thing being cooked in Men in Black 3.
In the radio drama, doesn’t 3P0 say “there’s no escape for the CAPTAIN this time”
I know I’ve heard that somewhere at least, and it seems the better way to go IMHO.
Was that a mistake, or an attempt to subliminally connect to 4?
I’d like to suggest completely removing the Leia and Wicket scene. Add a bit of tension wondering where she is, and the Ewoks seem more of a threat if you haven’t seen one nibbling snacks from a stranger and frightened of helmets.
If it makes you feel better the fanedit I’m working on of the film does this. The thread is around here somewhere I don’t post in it much because I’m very on again off again when it comes to working on it, one of these days I’m just going to randomly surprise everybody with it being done.
But without that scene, how does Leia appear in Ewok the village?
And even if she gets there somehow, we don’t know why she wasn’t served for lunch, while Han is certainly getting prepared to be the dinner.
Because one thing is certain, that the Ewoks are not a friendy bunch, and they like to eat people, despite how they look like.
So it is not very realistic that a human female can talk herself out of being eaten, especially if she does not speak the language.
I guess it is safe to say, logically she can not be in the village, without building trust first, what the scene offers that you want to delete.
As you say, there is a logical connection that we make. She is seen there in a dress with braided hair - clearly not in danger. It doesn’t impact the main plot to not show how she got to be there safely, and actually sidetracks from the important plot points to some degree. It also sets a precedent of Ewoks not being a threat which makes the capture scene feel more like a game at the Teddy Bear Picnic.

Are animated Gifs supported?
Is it too late for suggestions? 😉
Loved ESB:R.
The only thing that bugs me is really small: when Han shoots the Probe droid, then is talking to Leia, I wish that a quick shot of her computer screen with an image of the Probe droid was put in right as she’s saying “An imperial probe droid”.
Good day it seems 😉
Downloaded all 9 files from Mega, unzipped with 7zip, everything works great.
Do not need a Facebook account to view the page.
For those of you who mega’d already, spleen seeding would be awesome (pm me for invites ONLY if you have already downloaded and wish to selflessly share 😉 )
You download the torrent, then point the torrent downloader at the folder where the mega file unrared to.
Myspleen just turned Freeleech on 😁
I guess it’s time for the new mob craze “George Revisited First!”
But at least those folks have the GOTSE (George’s Original Trilogy Special Edition).
Wait… No. They’re stuck with the GTROTSE (George’s Thrice Revisited Original Trilogy Special Edition).
3 or so hours until the next teaser image!
Not if you just fanedit the III into a II. Then just do the same for the I and you’ve really reduced your wait time.
Or you could just imagine watching ESB Revisited. Movies are just tricks of the light, nothing more.
I’m 15 minutes in and I am vastly underwhelmed.
Really? I was happily surprised with the added subtle, tasteful nudity in those first scenes.
I’m sorry, but the clowns were neither subtle nor tasteful. And don’t even get me started on the horn trick. *shudder*
I know a lot of people missed it but the sound from that appalling horn display was actually Morse Code for “stop, she’s your sister!”

I’m actually enjoying it. Many of us needed to rehype for this.
Nah.

Like where is all the Tauntaun blood?!
Myspleen request thread available in the Off Topic subforum.
Pretty sure Ady releases via newsgroups. Though seriously, by tomorrow night, it will be everywhere. Countdown permitting.
Could someone let JMOW in? I swear I hear him scratching at the door.
Shhh Sojourn! We’re all secretly hoping that. We just don’t want to jinx it.
