Just wait, Lucas will have *Whales* flying around Bespin in the next edition.

Ralph McQuarrie already did some art on this years ago. They're called Aiwas and they fly around Bespin. They were later used by Lucas on Kamino.

McQuarrie's art for them at 1:28  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH9ix8PEM-Y&feature=related

lol!

An old 8 track of Galactic Funk by Mecco to be precise. :p

Nice mockup of the SSD go bye bye Bingowings.

I like that angle or something close.

I would also love a DS2 surface POV as this massive point of the SSD comes into view overhead and Imperial personnel run for cover. Maybe a viewport window over a turret or something.

As I mentioned earlier, not only is Ralph McQuarrie in the rebel transports scene on Hoth, but Joe Johnston also is the one speaking.

It should stay. I'm sure Ady will come up with a cool background in the spirit of these original masters.

edit:

And someone mentioned above that all the clouds around the new Cloud City shot distract from the city. I disagree. They actually frame the point of focus and draw our eye right to the center where the city is.

I love that Jabba matte. It's awesome. Subtle but stunning.

edit:

The main problem with the SSD crash into the DS2 is the pyro doesn't scale quite right and the frame rate isnt quick enough to give a sense of large mass.

Very nice ben danger. BD

Joe Johnston himself is the guy in the middle of the Hoth transport bay shot.

But I think the scene should stay, just enhanced to make it less "matte-ish".

Beautiful shot.

I would just add the x-wing and leave as-is

Chris Lee provides the voice for Dooku in the Clone Wars?

vaderios

That is stunning! Great job.

Davnes007, that was genius. I knew you couldn't resist Dune and SW together. Thumbs up! I love mockups.

I dont like that idea. Too distracting. And someone above rightly pointed out that the Emperor surrounded by the starfield is more effective.

Very nice.

And Monroville, your suggestion #3 is a great idea, either instead of or in addition to showing the "monster" coming to the surface under the sand.

Hah! I have an idea:

Take the idea of the sail barge collapsing into the sarlaac pit, then cut in the shot of the spice worm rising up from the sand in Dune and taking out that vehicle.

Take out the vehicle and replace it with a sail barge mockup.

There you go! :p

No, you can create another reason via reshuffling some dialogue

magnoliafan already showed this very thing with his edit of TPM.

It not only can be done. It already has been.

Sometimes it's good to take a step back and realize how far the fan edits have come in a few short years.

Seriously, I never thought we'd see half of the changes fans are doing this soon.

So celebrate and enjoy it all.

It will only get better.

Licking its teeth? Like Audrey? J/k!

Dang, that looks really good enlarged like that. Looks more ominous and threatening.

yeah, it was in the above comic adaptation and the ROTJ novelization.

That should be added to ROTJ. Would be a great addition. And makes Jabba seem more ruthless and cunning.

I think Ady's has more Cloud City detail.

Here's maybe a aerial shot of the Naboo Palace:

And foggy Coruscant, maybe outside the Chancellor's window?

A Tatooine sandstorm?

There was the bit in the ROTJ novel where he did say he used to kill Luke's kind(jedi kinghts).

That might fit into it.

Pretty cool space:

Maybe an underground lair of some kind?

Imagine ths architecture slightly modified to be something Naboo or maybe a Jedi Palace

ben danger, they are indeed. It's an island off the coast of Africa.

Let me grab some more images and a link.

Maybe slightly modified this could be a planetary shot of Utapau:

Dude, I love it. If someone is looking to do a Prequel-influenced saga edition, this is something they should definitely look at.

I just watched it again and I just noticed you added the tibanna gas mines. And you even timed the graphics to Han's button pushing.

B)

The one thing i really want to do when i get to the PT is downgrade a lot of the technology and design. yeh, i can imagine that the queen of naboo would have a very expensive craft with the latest tech but other ships & environment do need the downgrade

I can't wait. Well I guess I have too. :D
