    I think the connection they wanted was to the remoteness and the fact that its a site of hermitage.

    Perfectly said! I'm not saying that Disney doesn't have a firm grip on my wallet. I'm saying (like many things in the prequels) it's another missed opportunity and 'regrettable'. The Prequels had it's problems, but most of the fresh ideas Lucas delivered wasn't the issue.. it was the execution.

    Well, if they did something like dad, I'd certainly be unhappy. Sure, this picture is not representative of what ILM would be capable of doing with their skills and computing power but such far-reaching alterations into the landscape are slightly overcooked.

    I agree with you, because I warned: my (bad) drawing is more a caricature than something wise ;) this is what I call "porky-painting", with fluo&flashy colors and very approximative cutout.
