You made good points!
You made good points!
That last set is basically what I want any OT cover set to look like. Wowzers.

The canonicity of the events depicted in the original Star Tours experience has been disputed for many reasons, the most obvious being the inclusion of the Death Star. Since R2-D2's presence onboard the Starspeeder 3000 precludes the events taking place during the Battle of Yavin or the Battle of Endor, the Death Star seen in the ride video has been considered by some to be the Death Star prototype, as seen in Jedi Search and Champions of the Force and its destruction to be a depiction of the prototype's destruction at The Maw. However, it does not match that prototype's skeletal construction and R2-D2 is accounted for during that event, as well. Also, the Star Tours Death Star is very close to Endor, far from the Maw's location. This may indicate it is a so far unrevealed Death Star, or that the ride's events are simply not canonical. Others have suggested that the Death Star is one of the modified habitation spheres seen under construction over Coruscant. Leland Chee has tentatively named it the Death Star III.

Great idea but it would be in my view even better if the scouts were cremating their own men to cover up the hellhole they were working in.
The audience would be thinking "What the hell did that to them?", then our heroes are captured by these things too and then we meet the Ewoks.
Suddenly the teddy bears turn into guerrillas.
This is a great point.
Make the trees bigger, and this really isn't too far off from Dagobah
As for Bespin, this site seems full of shots.
Inspired by this post
This would obviously be a huge job for animators, but redo the podrace sequence to include a much bigger diversity of racing vehicles, such that Anakin (or at least somebody) could be in a T-16. One T-16 with the rest of the racers wouldn't make sense, obviously.

It'd be neat to see the T-16 in more places than just Luke's hand. I really think it could go in the prequels, but even in somebody's radical ANH edit.
.... Now this is podracing?
I don't understand why this is necessary. Obi-wan is lying to Luke about things anyway - It makes sense for him to say "Your father wanted you to have this", because Luke would want to do what his father would have wanted. It helps convince Luke to go down the Jedi path, which is what Obi wants.
EDIT: Oh right, to preserve the ESB surprise. Right. *rolls eyes*
So yeah, General Star Wars Discussion has been ruined by arguments in most active threads.
Oh heeeey! I think he might a little too long in the face in that clip, but that's exactly what I was talking about. Thanks!
Have we ever talked about what would be required to improve/fix Palpatine's weird-bloated face post-Mace in ROTS?
So...one of the testers is on myspleen, I hope?
...Oh Russia...

There are 3D printers on the horizon which will wipe out the toy revenue stream, unless laws are put in place and enforced.
And even then... I mean, it's the music/movie situation, all over again.

Sadly Yes, sadly because its no longer the case! :(zombie84 said:
Ah, remember when new Star Wars video releases were exciting?
And yet look how much we talk about it!
Oh. My. God.
Harmy, that is beautiful and terrible.

seemingly... un-Lucas
Just remember that his most famous films feature World War II dogfights in space. He's just moved the setting to the right time.
I thought the 70mm version of ESB was missing some things (The Falcon Dish)?

Ah, but do we know of the enhanced gamma besides the pictures online, that the web designer may have brightened because of their darkness? That's my new question.
This is a really good question which no one has answered. With regards to the gamma, ken's policy of wait and see just might be the only option.
daaaaangit...
I meant Return of the Puggo. What is wrong with me today?!
I suppose this has already been asked: Any plans for Puggo Strikes Back?
Oh right!
Thrawn. I liked Thrawn.
(edited because i can't read)
O_O
Man, I don't even think we had talked about sound mixes.
Ken, do you know something we don't about that?
