Quote:The ships that aren't seen do not exist. If they don't exist in the movie, there is no other accounting for them. There's only the movie account of the Battle of Endor to refer to, you can't just proclaim how the battle is (i.e. "they had more ships than they show") without any reference other than your belief that RotJ is perfect as is.
You're counting wrong. And just because they don't show all of the ships in the last frame doesn't mean that they do not exist. If you look at all of the scenes and all of the ships (and actually know which ones are duplicates or not) then there are more ships than you think.
Quote:How can you say that? Episode III is in the middle of the series, and although it may be really big, it sure isn't the "end-all" that Endor is. Endor should've been vamped-up to show more of a fleet. If I could figure out the pics, I'd show my proof.
I know many details about the script while you do not. Episode III will have larger space battles than Endor, and larger and longer lightsaber battles than any of the movies. The Endor battle is perfect as it is, so much so that Lucas didn't even touch it for the prequels. It's a battle of a small fleet of rebels against a huge Imperial army. It's as big as it should be. Every frame of the battle is so packed with ships and explosions that adding anything else would be pointless, and extending it would disrupt the flow of the movie.
