The Unofficial Complete REVISITED SAGA Ideas and Random Discussion Thread

There's a video of one of the model-makers at Lucasfilm regarding the wrong scale of the models they used for TPM. Apparently they were on a time constraint which meant the model looks off. 

Someone has suggested that this is the shot he was talking about. Perhaps we will see Andywan editing this shot one day? 

The video he was talking about in it: 

Starts around the 9 min mark.

We even saw TIE Fighters, not TIE Interceptors in the sneak peak trailer which to me was saying "Return of the Jedi didn't happen, folks!".

ROTJ or not, seeing the same fighters 30 years afterwards is a stupidity from the story point of view.

They brought X-wings and TIE fighters back just so they can play on the "look we are going back to OT" note. I am sure many fans get "orgasm" by seeing X-wings again... LucasFilm knows that and exploits it for marketing reason of course.

Almost everyone likes X-wings and TIE fighters. They just play it safe and reuse the already proven stuff. But the film creativity will suffer because of that.

 

I won't be surprised if this backfires on Disney. Mainly because the vocal fans who wants the new movie to be one big nostalgic trip down their memory lane aren't necessary reflective of the much larger casual SW fans who didn't grew up with the OT.

Hi, first time posting here, but I've been lurking around for quite some time. 

I've just rewatched the space battles in ROTS, and I've been thinking that some amount of edit would have drastically make the battle even better than it is.

In this battle, there is no sense of perspective about what the capital ships are doing. We have no idea if they are surrounding the separatist ships or whether they are advancing forward towards Grevious's fleet. If it is possible to include scenes of flag officers onboard, it will make the battle easier to understand for the audience, and we would be able to see the "face of Battle" and the faces of the commanders in charge of the Republic navy. 

It is unlikely that any edit to this scene would be completed anytime soon, but I'll be interested to hear what are your thoughts on how to edit this space battle alone.
