Very well done film. They did a good job regarding colour correction and the editing was also good, with only minor flaws. I especially liked the weathered look of the spider's metal.

The American jeep drivers showed some suicidal behaviour though, at 2'56'' they drive transversal to the front line, through enemy fire. At 2'31" it's nearly as stupid: here the jeep drives towards the enemy unit which is firing. Although they have a 50cal mounted, it is unmanned. :-?

Yes, while better for the fliming, in reality the hatch would be much smaller and there would certainly be bullet proof glass attached in a combat situation, just like in the Tiger tank.

Legs are better to get over height differences and also to bridge gaps and barriers. A big disadvantage it that the pressure on the ground per cm² would be much bigger than with tracks. Unfortunately we cannot see its feet to see how they solved this problem...

Yes, as the Ewoks are friendly towards all races, they would certainly had fought against the Nazis. Plus they are used to fight against the guys with the Wehrmacht style helmets... :03:

There's a political cartoon I saw many years ago that had an aged WW2 US Army vet getting all irate at the sight of a modern US trooper wearing his kevlar helmet, mistaking him for his old adversary.

Wish I could still find it because it perfectly fits your comment about Wehrmacht style helmets. :salute:

Meh, you empirialists are still butthurt that you have lost the war! I do not want to remind you of all the atrocities that your beloved stormtoopers committed!
The Ewoks where fighting a guerilla war against an enemy with superior weapons and much more resources. 4 against 1 is only understandable in a situation like this!

There were no signs of an actual desire to eat them, this scene was all made for the reason of deterrence. Again: guerilla war.

Ah revisionism at it's best! Again, this is just propaganda. There was this guy called Gregor Lukas or something like this. He made many ugly propaganda films for the empire, despicing the Ewoks as inferior beings.
I heard he used vertically disadvantaged humans and put them into Ewok costumes and then filmed some barbarian acts. It is also possible thatn this Lukas guy used the evil twin brothers of the Ewoks, the Duloks to spread the propaganda of the eternal Ewok.

Yes, a drunk ex-stormtooper, babbling something in a dirty bar at the end of the universe is a reliable source... :haha:





<-- not a big SW-fan, but someone has to defend them furballs :03:
