Ringo Star Get posted:Found this: Watching that without my brain engaged in the dialogue really made me appreciate the special effects and the visual aspects of what they did as a whole. There's a sense of mass to the ships. They seem to have tangible surfaces and some of the camera moves that they did while panning across the models (with the fighters added in later) just work. That's probably one of the most brilliant 8 minutes of film that I'll ever see.

They understood how to do it in ROTJ, it is completely different to the laser filled clusterfuck of CGI at the start of Revenge Of The Sith.

Who are the two dudes in camo who are sitting behind Lando in the Falcon? And why are they wearing camo?

Outside of the movies, Nebulon-B frigates are used more often as combat/communications ships so I'll just pretend it was one of those.

Kung Food posted:Would there even be that many wounded people? I would think that when you are fighting in space that for most of the participants, you are either perfectly healthy or dead. Vacuum isn't very forgiving. And even if there were people wounded on one of the other ships, what are you going to do? Fly a shuttle from that ship to the hospital ship in the middle of a battle? Though I love the end of that Cracked video. "I knew you knew her name!"

Not counting EU explanations, I don't think any of Jabba's other slave girls were on the sail barge when Leia blew it up, were they? It also kind of surprises me how many people seem to think that Leia led the Rebellion and Mon Mothma was just some kind of spokeswoman. Even before reading the EU it seems pretty obvious from ROTJ that Mon Mothma is in charge. And as much as the OT might show women in a bad light it's definitely far above the EU's blunt rejection of democracy for authoritarianism.

Vacuum isn't very forgiving. Most pilots have some sort of EVA gear or magnetic field handwavy thing, good enough to last them till the end of the battle. Or if you're a hotshot pilot like Tycho Celchu you'd just fly into battle in an unarmed shuttle to make pickups.

The shuttle thing sort of makes more sense than having a big ole' unarmed shoot me frigate. When you look at it, both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance can be equally stupid fighting this war thingy.

Speaking of Star Wars -video-games, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader blew my mind back when GameCube was launched. The visuals were amazing, and they still hold up to this day if you play the game the old-fashioned way ( an SD-TV ). I played that game to death.

I believe you meant to say that Nien Numb was horribly limited due to technical shortcomings, but now with CGI we can finally hope for the true ROTJ experience. Also, the Falcon needs more dewbacks in the cockpit.

Fun fact: The Nien Nunb puppet was actually just a modified mask. The puppeteer was playing with it one day and found it to be quite expressive as a puppet, so they modified it a bit, and removed Chewie's seat from the Millennium Falcon cockpit set to accommodate. I read this in Star Wars Insider several years ago.

The two guys in cammo were Chewie and Luke's understudies for the Endor mission. Han didn't want to speak for them, after all. Then they were re-assigned to the Death Star run without enough time to change their clothes. Nobody said anything out of politeness.
