Also, why doesn't Luke just use the force on the switch for the Rancor's cage instead of throwing the damn skull?

Would have been another good way to prove his Jedi-ness, huh?

To be honest, Obi-wan gives enough funny faces when meeting the droids in ANH that I don't see an inconsistency there.

3P0 and R2 aren't together and thus are not the true main characters for large parts of the PT.

Or maybe Boba Fett's gun can fire it's barrel as a projectile weapon.

Don't say it! The EU will include it in a book!

Thanks!

But why big images containing text? It's inefficient and makes the page slower. I guess I can understand having the pictures of the characters (although I think we all know what they look like), but you can easily have just the little pictures along with regular text, instead of great-big-image-files.

We can't see giant images that get cut off because they're too wide.

Also, approximately none of that looks like it actually needs to be an image, which mean it's essentially wasting bandwidth. Text please.

I think generally your mockups feel pretty high-contrast, modern-television to me. Maybe that's what he means?

It's been documented elsewhere, but I can't remember where. Thus:

There are three robed prunefaces on the right

and here's one getting onto the shuttle behind Han, as part of the commando crew

And here's Wookieepedia's article about their leader: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Orrimaarko

I think it's the other way around. The end goal was Sith domination of the Galaxy - the ideologies of the Empire were just the tool most useful at the time for attaining those.

I honestly don't think that a painting of Boba Fett riding the lizard from ROTS implies anything about a Holiday Special Easter Egg. Yes, Boba Fett rode a dinosaur thing in the Special, but that's just... It doesn't imply anything.

To be fair, the DSII does take time to blow up. Remember that the Falcon has a wall of flame behind it for its entire journey out. I'm not sure the explosion we then see from a distance makes a lot of sense, but it's certainly not instantaneous.

Small note: I was thinking about the DS explosions, and about how most of us want to see the shockwave gone from ANH.

I'm actually not sure I feel the same way about ROTJ. The collapse of the reactor makes the shockwave make more sense in ROTJ, it looks pretty cool the Falcon at the end, and it makes a nice visual distinction between the DS and DSII explosions.

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.

EyeShotFirst said:

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.
