Got it 005 ;)

 

Now i had an idea of a more dramatic and dynamic destruction of executor.

Forgive the mess, was done quick

Id like to have executor scratching the surface (ala Star trek nemesis) before explode to pieces, leaving a cool scar to DS's surface.

In the ROTJ novelisation, the SSD takes a bunch of fighters, support craft, and star destroyers with it when it crashes.

Hey, you know what might be a good idea for Endor?

 

Just to set the stage that there's some fierce creatures on the planet. Maybe Han and co. walk upon a burned out hulk of a AT-AT?

They would be like "what the heck did that?".

 

Just an idear.

 

it also fits into bingowings suggestion that there exists a state of war between imperials and ewoks.

(I was told this pic belongs on this thread instead of where I put it...)

This is slightly ahead of itself, but there isn't a Jedi thread and while we're all going full throttle with the matte paintings, here's one I'm working on for Jabba's palace.

I am probably going to put another canyon wall on the left, rather than leaving it as one entirely open plain, and will probably remove the rock feature in the distance. But the right-hand side and sky are pretty close to how I want them.

I have always wondered why there werent any ships outside jabba's palace. Not everybody lives with Jabba and I am sure you would at least see Boba's. The Millenium Falcon could be hidden some where but nonetheless you might could add ships. If we wen't with our Boba Fett badass idea posted a good 20 pages back you could make a shot of the slave 1 flying away.

 

Underground parking? :p

 

Seriously, that is great Venal. As others have mentioned, there does need to be some atmospheric haze added to the palace to take its sharpness down a notch. But truly wonderful work.

I don't know if I would add a canyon to the other side of the shot or just center the palace more into the shot and make the cliff it's perched on more mystical or something.

Great list. It's funny you mentioned haircuts because Hamill has mentioned how he wanted a buzzcut or something to show a change in appearance for ROTJ.

But I also like a subtle scar too.

 

edit:

The Ewoks have been apparently waging a guerrilla war against the Imperials the whole time. Moff Jerjerod keeps denying that there is any problem with 'the natives,' clearly indicating that there is a problem

 

Now this is an idea I've wanted to see for a long time. You have the idea of a war. You combine it with the idea that the ewoks have scored victories, but are slowly losing. Their numbers are dwindling. Then you have them forging an agreement with the rebel strike force to launch an all out attack before they're wiped out for good.

I always looked at the dark side as a means of power and control. Control and power over others.

There was a line somewhere in the ROTS novel where Palps further seduces Anakin by promising him a whole star system. It's those kind of things that would go further in the seduction as a quest for more power and control.

This goes back to AOTC and his inability to let things go and his need to control where people are and what they're doing. He puts R2 in Padme's room to watch her. He dreams and obsesses over his mother's fate.

It's like the old saying: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. His original intent may have been noble, but misguided. By ROTS, it should become simply power for power's sake.

It should be like him slowly becoming addicted to the power he thinks the dark side will give him.

I remember back around the time of TPM some magazine carried a picture of a plain steel looking Fett helmet and armour which (like Jengo) had no dings or dents in it. No paint just shiny metal.

Did I dream it or does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?

 

On a different note it kind of came up over in the ESB/ROTJ wishlist thread so I'm going to post it here.

A lot of people don't like the dreams/flashforwards/visions in ROTS and feel they are out of place in the Star Wars universe.

At the risk of being branded a heretic, the cave sequence in ESB is a form of dream/vision but it's done in a completely different way.

If we saw Anakin's dreams of his mother and Padme in a more stylised and dreamlike manner with symbolism and ambiguity (rather than just a clipshow with a wobbly distortion) like Luke's vision of his head inside Vader's mask would that be more acceptable?

I seem to remember that in the novelisation of AOTC Anakin dreamt of his mother turning into glass and shattering (or was that somewhere else?).

These could become mini-projects in their own right.

How could they be done?

It's our chance to put a bit of David Lynch into Star Wars all those years after he turned down ROTJ.

The shattering Shmi was in the AOTC novel I believe. I forgot all about that! That's perfect and fits right into the OT-established visions rather than dreams.
