ROTJ Stormtrooper execution??

This pic http://www.aloofhosting.com/cyber_tim64/images/battleendor1.JPG from ROTJ have been haunting me since the early days when all I knew about SW was some guy named Luke Skywalker, guys dressed in white plastic uniforms and a pretty girl named Leia. Yeah, yeah, I know, but come on, I was just 8 at the time

Is there anyone who's got a story behind this? I checked out starwarz.com, and the deleted scenes section covers mostly everything but this piece. Looks like an execution if you ask me.

Cheers for now

 

link don't work

 

D'oh!

The pic on the right side of the ROTJ section.

Cheers!

 

What exactly does look like an execution to you?


Are there executions during a battle? I think it's just war.

 

When I look at the picture on the right side of the ROTJ section...

...I see a chicken walker.

I'm not being a wise-guy. What are we supposed to be seeing?

 

Yeah, all I saw was the AT-ST with Chewie's head popping out of the top...

 

Look on the bottom of the picture a bit to the left of the AT-ST, While I don't remember this from the movie. I think it is possible, but I would not know why George would put something like that in there.

 

am I blind? Because all I see is bushes.

No execution.

 

This is not a execution. 2 reasons: ! Han has his gun in his hand. And 2, Look real close, The walker is shooting at Rebel troops

 

Oops, my bad eyes to blame. I had that idea of this picture being one when the rebels had occupied a "chicken" and used it to hunt the stormies.
I thought the actual rebels were dark clad imperials. Back in '83 I saw this pic, and it had the text saying "As in every good adventure the good guys always win at the end".

Alright, my eyes have been opened and my rather grim imagination dissatisfied But I do think it looks like that stormtrooper is kinda about to hit the ground there, or have a big ray making him glow for a second or two.

Cheers!

The Swedish are coming! The Swedish are coming! They got lingonberries!!"

 

wait what are we looking at?!?!?!?!?!?

 

The picture from RotJ with battle in front of the bunker with a AT-ST blasting away at Rebels, http://www.aloofhosting.com/cyber_tim64/moviestills.htm that I thought was imperials...the trooper standing looks like he's about to...well...die ;P

 

I still don't see why you would have thought that was an "execution"...?

 

It could be possible this is a still from unused movie footage, doctored up a bit as a publicity still...hence, with added blaster bolts coming from the AT-ST?

The movie shows one AT-ST walking on the perimeter while the rebels are captured and herded out, and another walker is stationary and overlooking the scene. I believe the latter walker's driver was the one shot by Leia as the Ewoks attack.

Now, this begs the question of what happened to that walker. Did the second driver (there are 2 in each walker, as later evidence shows us) walk off after the Ewoks, like all the other walkers did?

Or did he, as this photo suggests, take some shots at the rebels? Because if this last possibility is true, it begs the question of how Han, Leia, and the commandos made it out of the clearing and into the bunker. That walker should have blown them away before they even got near the bunker.

Any thoughts?

 

*lol* Well, that was kind of just an idea I had, I noticed the trooper lying next to the standing one, and like I said, the first impression was that this was a scene where the rebels were on the winning side.
Bad use of word maybe, but...well, nevermind that now

It's difficult to say when this is supposed to take place *looking at the pic again*
This has to be flipped, otherwise I wouldnt make any sense.
The stationary walker must be the one on the picture, the reason I think the picture is flipped, since the stationary walker was standing on the right side of the bunker entrance.
But did Han and Leia get to the bunker before it started to walk to the forest? Leia shoot the pilot, then it began walking to the forest chasing down rebels and ewoks...
Then they get to the bunker and yells for R2.

D'oh! I'm too tired to think of this *lol* I have to check the movie out and get back to ya ASAP

Good night everybody!

 

In my frustration I ran into this picture. Maybe it'll clear things up?

That first image had to be doctored up from somewhere. The blaster bolts in the movie didn't look that detailed, so they were probably just meshed in with it. I mean, if you step back and look at it, the blaster bolts look very fake.
