	I don't remember that. But there's somethings that I think I did remember seeing in Star Wars movies. I think I remember seeing in ANH that it takes Luke two attempts before he and Leia swing across the chasm. This next one probably never happened, but I could have sworn watching ROTJ in the theater back in 1983, that Wedge's X-Wing blows up near the end of the final battle. -----signature----- Veni, Vidi, Vici. - Julius Caesar

I've watched the ROTJ dvd on my crappy TV a few times now and the the slugs were always there in all their glory but on my new TV I just bought they are gone! Now I wanna watch ANH and see if those matte boxes are gone as well. Hmmmm.... Thats probably because the brightness level is set way too high on your "crappy" tv. If you play around with the brightness level during those scenes, you'll notice the matte boxes and slugs appear if the brightness is high, but lowered( so the blacks are true deep black and not a noisy grey) those technical flaws are not noticable. -----signature----- OT4EVER Scoundrel?

	I hear you Idigmetalbikinis. I tried playing with the brightness levels on my old TV but what I found was when I turned down the brightness or played with the contrast to get the slugs to go away it also made the overall movie so much darker. But on my newer TV the slugs are gone and the rest of the movie still looks pretty bright. Eh well, who knows...maybe the new TV is auto adjusting or something.....lol. I dunno. I still gotta try ANH for those matte boxes by the way..... Peace. -----signature----- You just watch yourself. I'm a wanted man... I have the DEATH SENTENCE on twelve SW messageboards.

	Most TVs come set up with extremely high contrast. You might want to turn it down a bit. Setting the contrast too high will not only mask detail in bright areas, it can in the long run be harmful to your tv as well. -----signature----- CGI? Heh. Special Editions? Heh.

	That is the most fan-boyish list I have ever seen. Terrible, TERRIBLE ideas. And if you are going to post in this forum then please change your signature. That is a major spoiler that even the trailer doesn't show. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_I_-_The_Chosen_One Production blog: http://alternativesaga.wordpress.com/

	Wow...that is a crappy list. Either you really have no idea what goes on in Star Wars or you're baiting for flames. But just for the sake of discussion... ANH - First things first (other than your lacking spelling ability) is why would you want to add more ships to the Battle of Yavin?? The Rebels (spelled with two E's) are supposed to be outnumbered. It's the victory of an underdog, not two equally matched forces. Plus, in the SE they already added Rebel ships to coincide with a line mentioning how many there are attacking the DS. - The podrace in Ep1 takes place at Mos Espa, not Mos Eisley. ESB - Where exactly do you think there could be more Snowtroopers? Digitally placed in the cramped passages, I assume. - New space battle??? Where and when? Oh, sorry - that would be around your "new" planet. - I'm pretty sure that Han Solo had better things to do while in Cloud City than drink. That's what the scoundrel Solo would have done in Ep4, not the Solo that's protecting Leia when they're on the run. -Again, showing more of Cloud City has already been done in the SE ROTJ - What's a raconor? - Once again with the SEs, on the DVDs they already added Naboo, as well as the Jedi Temple to the Coruscant shot. Like I said, that's either a disingenuous list or you might want to start watching the movies instead of just looking at them. -----signature----- Palpatine toyed with Windu.

	I've wondered sometimes if MAYBE they could put a CG Yoda running along side Luke during training in EsB instead of being in his back pack. It seems like it would be a lot of work though and in the end the CG Yoda would only stand out like crazy in comparison to the puppet used in the rest of the scenes. Plus Yoda was supposed to be older by then. Its funny how sometimes stuff seems like it might be cool @ first...but after some thought you're like HELL NO. LoL. In the ET SE when they added in a CG ET - I thought it looked terrible though when compared to the puppet they used. Hmmmmm.... I gotta revise my "wishlist a bit"............. -----signature----- You just watch yourself. I'm a wanted man... I have the DEATH SENTENCE on twelve SW messageboards.

	One of the main additions I would like to see is added scenes on Alderaan in A New Hope. Alderaan is an important planet and much of the plot during the first third of the movie centers around it (even though it is never seen except from orbit). The tantive IV is from Alderaan as well as Lea and the crew. They are on their way to Alderaan to deliver the death star plans to Bail. Also Luke and Ben are planning on going to Alderaan. We know Bail who was a major character in episodes 2 and 3 dies during the explosion of the planet. It just seems like we should see the planet considering how much it is talked about. Here are some ideas that I have to make Alderaan a more important planet in A New Hope. 1. Right after Lea is captured we could have an establishing shot of Bail's palace and then cut to him inside talking about the rebel alliance and the necessity of the stolen death star plans to be placed in the hands of the rebel alliance leaders. Someone then could contact him via hologram informing him of the capture of Lea's ship. 2. Right after Tarkin says "Set your course for Alderaan" we could see Bail on Alderaan preparing a crew to go to tatooine to find Ben. 3. When the death star approaches Alderaan we could see people panicing and evacuating the planet in starships similar to that of cloud city in ESB. We could even see Bail look up and say something classic such as "Damn you Palpatine" as the laser beams come towards the planet. This would bring closure to Bail's character and would make the Empire seem more heartless and evil. There could possibly be room for another scene but this is all I could think of.

	Actually, Jimmy Smitts has talked about doing the whole Alderran thing, hasn't he? Anyway, I'd like to see Palpatine on Coruscant in ANH. Disolving the senate and whatnot. It'd be fun. Also, ESB needs a scene with subtitles. I don't care where, but it's the only one without them. Doesn't work. -----signature----- "The first Trilogy will not be as much of an action adventure kind of thing. Maybe we'll make it have some humor, but right now it's much more humorless than this one...a little more Machiavellian - it's all plotting - more of a mystery." Lucas in 1982

	RE:1: The crawl already tells us all we need to know about the importance of the Rebellion and the plans, we don't need to hear it again. Who's going to be telling him Leia's captured? The crew of the Tantive IV? RE:3: It'd just slow down the film, and distract from the story, IMO. Anyway, I'd like to see Palpatine on Coruscant in ANH. Disolving the senate and whatnot. It'd be fun. I've been hearing about how great this scene is going to be for years, what exactly happens? Does he go up to the podium and say "Muhwahahaha!" as he zaps them all with force-lightning? ttbk -----signature----- "Foreshadowing with a sledgehammer....."
