It also gave Rey a chance to really shine w/o being overshadowed by a Jedi Master.
Since apparently Tatooine needs to be in every movie, let’s make Hoth Tatooine (wintertime, duh). Also I guess Naboo should just be Endor, and Geonosis might as well be Tatooine too.
People once speculated that Naboo would become Dagobah by way of some kind of disaster or something.
That does make sense!
I would also like this if possible
In before someone says that the asteroid was big enough to have its own meaningful gravity, which we know because they walked around inside the space slug.
(Never mind that the inside of the slug is a vertical shaft and they’re walking on the side of it)
The artist did a lot of covers for the German Perry Rhodan novels. It looks like creative swipes from iconic spaceships happened more than once in the series. Not sure if these are the same artist.
Thanks. For a moment there I was wondering if Lucas or ILM had “borrowed” the design from some random book cover.
However, it’s interesting that the artist choose to add domes to the ship (presumably to differentiate it somewhat) since the Interdictor Star Destroyers introduced in the EU in the 90’s more-or-less did the same thing.
There is a dome on the bottom of an ISD though. So, just move it up top and duplicate - you get that thing.
Oh wow. That really almost works! That’s so cool to see. I look forward to your continued progress.

What does it mean when music is “tracked”? Because, apparently there was a lot of it in this movie. I know chunks of TPM were used. And I know pieces of the actual soundtrack were not used.
Actually, the meaning that ‘tracking’ references is the practice of using music that is not written exclusively for the film that is being worked on. It can be music from other films, classical or contemporary music that has been released commercially (the film, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ is a good example), or even pop music–old and new.
There was a separate release of the AOTC soundtrack CD with one bonus track, "On The Conveyor Belt," that was sold exclusively by the store-chain, Target.
I think in the case of AOTC, it refers to the fact that Williams wrote a bunch of music that could be used for scenes which Lucas was still figuring out/editing/re-editing, especially the battle at the end. This is a very different way of doing things than the OT, wherein Williams would receive the finished (save a few minor final cuts) film and write the music to match the nearly-final cut. This allows for a lot of nice touches to the music (timing to match events on screen), but restricts the director & editor to finish his work on time and then commit to it.
Really neat to see something clearly made after filming but before all the effects work was finalized (note the Tantive’s pre-hammerhead bow)
It looks like they’re not discarding all of the horrible, embarrassing plot developments that came in Spectre. My anticipation for this upcoming Bond movie is basically rock bottom. Why can’t they figure out that when you fuck around and try to do direct sequels to previous films in this series, it doesn’t work? This is evident in Quantum and Spectre. Bond doesn’t need to be a cinematic universe. The reason the series is so great is because anyone can drop in for a film and not need to have seen the previous ones. Why can’t we just have a great, standalone adventure anymore?
Because cinema is dead, movies & tv have merged, etc. See: https://www.rogerebert.com/mzs/avengers-mcu-and-the-content-endgame
If only we could get that deleted footage to not look like it came off a VHS
The main problem with the ground sequence is the disconnect with the space battle. The ground team should be in radio contact with the rebel fleet and tell them that the shield is still up.
If you care about matching the logic of Rogue One, the shield would block communication. Even without Rogue One, it does make sense.
I too would have liked to see the Four Spaceketeers reunite to save the Galaxy one last time.
Someone find us a way to get to that parallel universe where they made the sequels in the '90’s? 😉
Here’s an example of what I’m suggesting, seen in this clip from Rebels, around the 1:25 mark. (Hoping the link works!)

Those do look good! It’s a shame the deleted scenes are so low quality, not to mention certain ROTJ-mattes…but you’ve done a great job with the available materials.
Uuuuugh
Copyright reform please
Also people make perfectly good Vader costumes - no one needs an original.
Also PT Vader would not be wearing an ESB costume.
Yeah, I’d be interested to know how many Marvel movie adaptations were done without seeing the finished film. Did they all feature scenes that were ultimately cut? Jack Kirby’s version of 2001: A Space Odyssey being the exception as it was done around 1976.
An interesting one (for me at least) was the Conan '82 adaptation. It’s vastly different to the finished film, but over the years it has become increasingly evident that it was pretty accurate in terms of the original script. That’s what’s so fascinating to me - it’s almost as if two parallel versions of these movies were being created. A lot of the stuff that seemed so inaccurate in the TESB adaptation has shown up in deleted scenes and script drafts.
ROTJ was probably the most ‘film accurate’ adaptation I was aware of back in the day, but for me it arguably has better dialogue than the movie in a number of places. I see it as a kind of ‘what if ROTJ had been directed by someone else’.
This reminds me of the original Back to the Future novelization
Who said he survived?
This should be merged into that thread about the missed grappling hook
It’d be pretty interesting to see the new canon take on SotE
I mean, there are definitely things to talk about with the trailer.
Yeah, the change in quality is, unfortunately, jarring.
I could stabilize the Obi-Wan and R4 shots to help them fit better.
True, but I think the precedent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljo-YxsvV1Y) has a little motion on the screen shots too. Basically, however much motion is present on some of the shots needs to be present on all of them.
Well, and it’s centered around May 4th, aka “May the Fourth Be With You”
