Maybe it's the domain it's hosted on?  Either way, I just posted that in IRC the other day, seems people are a fan of that particular image.

Yeah, it's a good one!  It was included in a star-wars poster pack I got when I was a kid.  Either way...I just grabbed it off google image search.  Strange it would do things to your AV...

Indeed. It's old school, it's E-P-I-C, and it's a crime the scene wasn't added to the Special Edition.

Can't add a scene that was never filmed.  It was just a publicity shot, IIRC

There were scenes that were planned for RotJ involving the B-wing, but problems with blue screen tech at the time and the fighter's slim profile made it very difficult to shoot. So the scenes were scrapped. What I meant was that they should've done the scenes with modern film fx for RotJ:SE. Same principal as the added scenes for the Battle of Yavin in ANH:SE.

Well, the thing is that as far as I can tell, nothing actually got added to ANH:SE. All they did was replace old poor scenes with new ones. Adding completely new scenes is probably really difficult to do without badly breaking the flow of the scenes, with ANH:Revisited being a prime example.

Yeah, I really liked Adywan's version for the most part, but that TIE intro scene just sticks out like a sore thumb.  The music pops out of nowhere, the long lingering shot doesn't really fit with the style of the rest of the scene, and that weird camera pan just doesn't work for me at all. 

[Vector Leader]

I agree. While I do love what Adywan has done (his attention to detail and meticulous adjustments are inspiring), there are several things I would have done differently.

Regardless, combat scenes with the B-wing were going to be in the Battle of Endor, but the ship's unique shape coupled with early '80s film fx 'caused them to get scrapped. That can all be done now, no problem, and I doubt there's anyone here who wouldn't love to actually see the B-wing kick ass in RotJ.

We'd all love to see that. Hey, maybe Lucas'll put it on the second Blu-Ray release he does...

Along with flashbacks and random Gungans dancing in the background of various shots.
