Add one and ONLY one new scene never seen before.

please tell me you see the joke and are continuing it DarthTerminus because that reads so seriously i can't tell.

 

I couldn't vote for any of them, since there's too many obvious ones that aren't listed-- Palpatine dissolving the Senate, Bail Organa and the terrified citizens of Alderann's surface as the Death Star makes its test run, Vader returning the Coruscant and visiting the Emperor, or maybe (just maybe) getting a few deleted scenes that were actually shot back in the day.

 

I chose to stay away from the above-mentioned scenes because they had already been discussed as potential added sequences in future additions. I created this forum to discuss entirely new ideas that I had never heard mentioned before.

Let's stick with unique ideas only.

 

Sorry, but I don't like it at all. From my personal point of view, ESB is the movie where Vader is the most evil, the most twisted and the most Sith. Bringing up his almost-forgotten love for Padmé would destroy the darkness and the feel of that movie.

 

I went with the Chewie Obi scene.

 

There are quite a few better options than what the poll gives, but I picked Vader looking at Padme because that is the best.

 

ANH: Chewbacca briefly talking to Obi Wan in the Cantina...tail end of conversation overheard by Han...Obi Wan replies (and we hear) "He is still alive, but that is all I can say my friend"

I cast my vote for this one because I think it would really tie in the movies and the story more. I think Chewbacca's addition to ROTS was last minute, lets throw the wookie in there, and it really tweaked with the backstories and raised alot of questions. for example, if he was involved, why didn't Han know? Why doesn't he ever mention it? sure there are reasons we could all come up with, im just saying it raises far too many questions. if we add this scene in, it helps solve some of the puzzle. This scene would show that Chewie was without a doubt keeping his involvement in the war a secret even from his best friend.

lol thats been one of the things that erked me, thats been floating around in the back of my brain since i saw ROTS.

 

The Vader looking at the Padme holigram scene sounds cool.

 

There's one major problem with the Vader/Padme scene.....the audience isn't supposed to know that Vader is Luke's father until the end of their lightsaber duel and Luke's gotten his hand whacked off.

 

The Obi and Chewie scene would be cool. Wookiees wasting Imperials on Kashyyyk as part of the ROTJ end montage would be interesting as well.

 

The Obi-wan and Chewie scene is a good idea, if hes talking about who I think he's talking about. The wookie uprise is what i voted for though, because it shows that everything isnt peceful after the Emperor dies.

 

You are forgetting, now that ROTS has been made the audience already knows that Padme has a son named Luke Skywalker. Of course the audience already knows that Luke is Anakin's son. The audience also knows that Anakin is Vader. There are no surprizes anymore. The big plot twist that the audience will now see is that they know that Vader is Luke's father, but Luke doesn't know Vader is his father.

 

this reply proves to me something i've thought for a while, the only purpose of thse additions is to tie this to the PT.

that being the case this really should go in the saga forum i think.

i would choose something that adds to the OT, that's why i didn't pick or like any of the offered choices, all they do is tie this movie to the PT for no reason i understand.

 

How can you not understand why we would want to establish more continuity between the original and prequel trilogies? Would it make more sense to you to add something that has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the movies?

Everything in the movies is interrelated. Here's an option that maybe you would appreciate... Let's add a giant, green foam armored robot dancing with the Max Rebo band in Return of the Jedi. You never see a Green foam armored robot in any of the other movies so this has nothing to do with anything and should satisfy your needs.

Malikail I have noticed that you like to retort negatively to the majority of the posts on these boards. Let people enjoy themselves.

 

I personally think that it ALL needs to go in. I think, after all Lucas has put us through, we deserve the big extended fanboy editions a la LOTR. But the dissolving of the senate and a reaction shot of Alderaan's doom are my all time faves to see. Oh..and the lost scene from after the barge rescue in Jedi.

 

i have to take something near offense at that last comment.

i do differ with a lot of posts like this one, that is true but it is because i come at it from a different angle, a discussion is the point and enjoyable.

if you like i can play lap dog too and just agree for the sake of agreement, it's sort of mindless and lame but that seems to be what you expect here.

my point was and you have proven it, that this topic is more saga related than OT related.

you do not want to add to the OT as an entity, you wish to add to the OT to tie it to the PT, this is a cross over area thus a saga topic.

finally, a minority or dissenting oppinion should not be silenced simply because a perceived majority does not want to hear it, that would be a total waste and i think without differing points of view this board would be gone.

can you imagine a topic of one person posting a thought and every post after basically saying "i agree" in a different way?

how much fun would that be?

you see my point was not that i did not see what you wanted to accomplish, my point was that it does not belong in this forum section but instead in the saga section because that is what you want to discuss.

yes i am against needlessly altering the OT to tie it to it's sequal trilogy.

one of the major reasons i'm against this is that none of the PT movies are anywhere close to the quality of the OT IMO, and it seems to me nothing but harmful to the OT to change it to match it up with it's sub-par sequals.


EDIT:

i did not critisize you for asking the question, or for the ideas beyond the fact that this is the OT forum and none of these ideas enrich watching the OT as a stand alone trilogy.

they only add to it if you watch it 1-6.

while you clearly accept this view and it might be a majority view on this board, it is not the universally accepted view.

there is a lot of dissent towards this view point, dissent i would think you would enjoy refuting instead of simply wanting to silence it or make it go away.

 

Malikail has a point. We should come up with some scenes that are OT-contained too, and not just PT-related scenes.

In fact, I think I posted such a scene, one with Vader and Bast wich would have the purpose of mentioned the Emperor more in ANH in order to create suspense and anticipation for his later apperance. I don't think I ever got feedback on that on this thread. Please forgive me if I missed something, though.

 

In the CUT sandstorm scene the Han & Lando issue was given closure so I'd love to have that restored.

But if we can't get that maybe they could splice together a shot of Han giving Lando a subtle look that gets the point across that he's forgiven?
Anything along those lines is also OT-contained.

 

I agree, Fingerz. Evertime I watch the rebel briefing scene and han acts all buddy-buddy with Lando, I always feel like somethings missing. Of course Han would forgive Lando, but it would be nice to se this.

 

a very good idea, several have been proposed, the originator of the thread didn't like any that i have seen.

There are a few others i would like to see as well, one that was filmed is Biggs "goodbye" speach to Luke on Tatooine, that one scene if it could be edited in without hurting the films pace would add alot to ANH.

Sadly i don't think it was filmed, so i think that possibility is lost forever.

i want to be clear i don't have a problem with the question or any of the possible answers except that this whole topic really belongs in the saga section because it is aimed largely at creating ties between trilogies.

that's all i was trying to say.

 

Every one of the ideas is horrible.

If you honestly don't see how the whole saga is related, and you truly think it need "more continuity", then you need to stop watching cartoons and reading fluff stories that cater to the mindless.
Go read a book. A real book.

 

It wouldn't matter because if you watch the films in release order all we would see is Vader looking at a hologram of some bird. We wouldn't even know who the woman was if watching in release order, thus keeping the surprise. If watching in chronological order then we would already know that Vader is Luke's dad, thus the surprise is already gone.

I voted for this scene but it would jarr when watched in release order and only works to tie the OT to the PT and would only make sense when watched 1 to 6.

 

I voted for the Obi-Wan/Chewbacca scene because if you're watching the films 4-6, there will be a mystery aspect, yet if you watch it 1-6, you would get the nostalgic feelings of revenge of the sith

 

Like Riggs & Murtaugh (Lethal Weapon movies) in the toilet scene?

"Hey, man..uh..."
"I know (nods) ...I know"
"I mean it, man..."

I agree with you...I'm just having fun with it.

 

I voted for the Padme hologram scene too but now I'm second guessing it.

If it were added in at all then RoTJ would be a better place for such a scene because atleast by the time of ep. 6 Vader is more conflicted then ever and might take a moment to view Padme.

This way the EsB Vader remains bad-a$$.
