Aalenfae's PREQUEL TRILOGY (Heavily delayed - computer exploded)

The Empire likes to be colour free (sometimes a hint of blue) but the good guys have always had a splash of colour about them.

I personally think it would make more sense to keep the colour but make Anakin's ship the same colour as Kenobi's as they both seem to be in the same squadron.

Yup, this makes the most sense.

I think it comes down to that in ANH and ESB we're following basically the "white human" cell of the Rebellion. In RotJ all of the cells combine to make a united front to attack the DS2. That's the impression I get.

That's also the impression I got. Because you see nothing but humans until ROTJ. Then you have the fish, and then that weird co-pilot with Lando... Honestly, now that you mention it, there weren't enough aliens represented!

More Pruneface in ROTJ:R! Pruneface! Pruneface!

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

doubleofive said:

Without doing anything to them, it wouldn't be right to put them on there. You can buy the official Blu-rays if you want the deleted scenes.

Well obviously.

I think there are a lot of people who would like to be able to download Harmy's DE 2.0 and burn it to a disc and replace the ANH Bluray on their shelf. They wish it was a replacement for the official releases, with commentaries, special features, and deleted scenes, like an official release. Obviously that's not what's going to happen, but that desire exists, and it's pretty understandable. People don't want to have to fish around in the closet for a disc they wish they didn't legally need to own in an astoundingly ugly case just to see what (in an ideal world) should be on the same disc as OOT.

And yes, that would mean cleaning up the deleted scenes.

I don't think I'd ever given the ROTS soundtrack a listenthrough until now. I'm listening to the extended edition someone on the internet put together, which is all well and good (beyond the odd stray sound effect they couldn't remove)...

Wait, the soundtrack to ROTS has sound effects from the movie during the music? Why? How does that even happen?

Only because it's a fan-made extended edition. The one-disc official release is obviously lacking a lot of the music, so someone did their best to get as much of the rest of the music out of the movie as they could. Sometimes effects just can't be helped. The odd spaceship engine and such.

Idea: STAR WARS - REVISITED (Adywan) | Addition of music from the other films, too late to change?
Time

The argument for:

The score for Star Wars, having been composed before any of the other films, lacks many of the themes found in the other films, themes which, had the films been created as a whole, would certainly appear. As one of the goals of Revisited is to make the 6-Film-Saga work well together, it is only natural that the score should be adjusted properly. The most notable "missing theme" is the Imperial March/Darth Vader's Theme, given the heavy Imperial presence in this film, but Battle of the Heroes is particularly fitting for the final meeting of Obi-Wan and his former pupil.

Viewers of the Revisited Saga may be surprised to hear these themes in A New Hope, as 1977's Star Wars is a beloved film to which they may have memorized every note, line of dialogue, and image. The changes may even be offputting at first, resulting in a poor reaction. However, if the goal of Revisited is to make a 6-film saga, then their insertions are appropriate and even necessary.

PROMETHEUS was (Alien 0?) NOW NO LONGER SPOILER FREE.

I surmised a lot of this from the trailer as well. As you said, it is probably not 100% accuate, but I think it gets a lot right. I agree with you in that it is probably a different planet and the alien ship is not the same vessel as in Alien - which had been on LV-426 an incredibly long time (the space jockey was fossilized). Unless some horrible time travel element is in the plot...

I wouldn't be so sure about that last bit. It's been stated, I believe by Scott himself, that "The Space Jockey" in Alien is just a space suit, not an actual fossilized body.
