Why anyone gets worried about a movie before they see it themselves is beyond me.

If you don’t like anything else a hired director has done, don’t like the look of the things being shown to promote the film, feel the story is moving in a direction you’d rather it not, hear from like-minded people that they didn’t like it, ect, ect, why wouldn’t you be concerned that you may not like the movie? Especially if it’s the next part in a series you’ve enjoyed and may not like the conclusion of?
Writing something off before you see it is a different matter, but there a plenty of reasons to suspect that a movie may not end up being what you were hoping for.

Something I’ve seen mocked up by AggeIw (https://aggeiw.deviantart.com/art/Give-me-a-Hand-216238791)

It also begs to reason why Vader would even scream over his mechanical arm getting severed. Maybe there were nerves connected during Vader’s suit construction or something?

3PO feels pain when he’s banged around, burned, ect. And the droids in the stupid torture scene are all screaming in pain. If they feel is somehow, I’m sure Vader does too.

If it’s up for a vote I am all for cutting Boba Fett entirely from the movie.

At one point, that was the plan, but Ady has stated that ROTJ:R will feature Fett and that he’ll get a “definitive death.”

One of the things ROTJ needs most is a plan to rescue Han that makes sense and is communicated easily to the audience. I feel like that’s one of the bigger hurdles for this edit.

There was a magazine sized issue part of the Marvel Super Special run and an oversized giant edition.

Can’t recall what version of Yoda appeared in them though. I probably had the oversized edition but those things were hard to store with one’s regular sized comics.

I have the Norwegian version of that edition, and Yoda looks more or less normal in it. He’s still smaller than in the movie, but his face looks like the proper final design.

I’ve read (and own) several versions of Marvel’s ESB adaptation and I’ve only seen two versions. In both he’s too small, and in the second Williamson mostly just re-drew Yoda’s face/head.

ALLOL at the change in Lukes dialog. Went from simple and accurate to overly long and nerdy.

When the droids enter the room, that whole time you can hear each of Greedo’s lines, in order.

Yep, one of the laziest things they ever did. And then they did the same sort of thing in Rogue One! More than once! :p Even if it was tongue-in-cheekily done as an homage to the laziness of ROTJ, I still think it’s stupid.

OFF
I don’t know what you refer to. Evazan’s line is spot on,

Yes, it’s spot on the exact same thing he says in Star Wars (just a few days latter!) and that’s lame as all hell!

the droid I don’t remember.

I only watched it once (but liked it) and the repeated droid voice stuck out horribly to me.

it would have felt much more Star Wars-y if they’d show some cockpit shots with the usual conversation:
– Lock S-foils in attack position. Accelerate to attack speed.
– Copy Gold leader

MORE repeated lines is NOT what R1 needs.
But speaking of “Copy… Gold… Leader”, I really hope that line gets a new dub for ROTJ:R. That delivery is one of the worst in the trilogy.
I’ve no doubt at all that Ady will fix all the repeated dialog and sounds in the background of ROTJ:R.

The military uses repeated dialogs, all the time.
So that is a valid expectation I would think, and not something that is disturbing.
And I think Evazan’s line is a nice touch. And that is a line he likes to use. I don’t see a problem here. Plus this makes him instantly recognizable, so this makes a slight connection with TNH.
Of course there can be difference in opinions on this.

Yeah, the military lines wouldn’t be so bad, but the guy repeating the same exact lines with the exact same inflections is stupid. If the two of 'em were in the background and didn’t say anything (they are instantly recognizable visually) it would be a cool cameo, but repeating the only scene they were ever in is silly. But this ain’t R1:R.

ROTJ has always felt the most “stagey” of the OT to me, and the one that was the most unconcerned with shots looking less than impressive. Some of the sets and locations really feel like sets and locations, and I’ve always felt it was detrimental to the suspension of disbelief necessary for a fantasy film. I’d be thrilled to see this kind of thing minimized or eliminated for ROTJ:R.

100% agreed. I really hope Ady can work some magic on this front.

Like how he used a three-dimensional model for the establishing shot of the “I am your father” scene, replacing the matte painting?

I think that’s actually a manipulation of the matte painting, but yeah, ROTJ would (and I suspect will) benefit from that kinda thing.

Sounds dreadful, Luke is being tempted by the dark side and struggling against it. He snaps when Vader hints at corrupting Leia. Having him crush Fett to death is too out and out dark.

How would you feel about Luke decapitating Bobba the way Jules did his daddy?
‘Cause I gotta feelin’…
😦

Not saying this should be done, but I could envision how it could be done.

I’m not saying I support the idea, just that I gotta feelin’…

Not if you’ve got a good texture pack. After playing both N64 Zelda games in 1080p on a massive screen with all textures replaced by high resolution textures but in the same art style I couldn’t imagine playing them any other way ever again.

Is there a complete HD texture pack for OOT? I know we’ve talked about this before, but I don’t remember if there’s a 100% complete set yet.
I’ve played through using an HD pack, but some backgrounds (the entrance to castle town stands out) were still the original elements and really threw me out of the experience.
