They didn't in the real original movie.

I like the idea of Obi-Wan destroying things and causing trouble when he's shutting down the tractor beam. He could blow up things and kill people from both trilogies such as:

1. Blowing up Alderaan (that would mean that the shot of the Millenium Falcon arriving at the remains of Alderaan would have to be skipped past to the shot of the Falcon approaching the Death Star--it could be used later though, showing that Obi-Wan was oblivious to the destruction he was causing--and the scene where Tarkin orders the destruction of Alderaan would have to be skipped as well)...

2. Starting the trash compacter (this has already been suggested)...

3. Causing explosions throughout the Death Star (using shots from attack scenes on both Death Stars)...

4. Causing the Super Star destroyer from Episode VI to crash into the Death Star...

and

5. Blowing up the Death Star (which would have to be followed by an "OOPS!"--if you can find or make one--and a rewind of the Death Star explosion).

And of course you should use the repetition gag for that--you could have him show up throughout the movie. You could make it so that Darth Vader doesn't kill Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan is still up on the tower pulling levers. So Obi-Wan would die when Luke blows up the Death Star.

LOL! This is the most painfully funny thing I have ever read. If this doesn't make it into the edit... :D

I'm looking forward to this dialog:

"Obi-wan Kenobi? Obi-wan? That's a name Obi-wan hasn't heard in a long time, a long time."

"You know him?"

"Of course I know Obi-wan, Obi-wan is Obi-wan Kenobi!"

Surely it should be...

"Of course Obi-Wan knows Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan"

Or instead of Luke blowing up the Death Star, the last lever Obi-Wan pulls could blow it up instead. Or instead of impacting on the surface, Red(?) Leader's shot could blow it up.

Porkins should blow up the Death Star.

Porkins should eat the Death Star.

A couple of ideas for General Dodonna's briefing scene. Maybe the computer Dodonna is using has to boot up before he can begin his presentation, so everyone has to wait through an extended Windows booting up sequence superimposed onto the viewscreen.

And/or: Partway through the briefing, the presentation could crash, replaced with the dreaded "blue screen of death." But Dodonna, seemingly oblivious to the crash, continues narrating the entire presentation anyway.

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

*shock*

Bring back Bender! GOB will likely start running out of useful lines over the course of three movies, and Bender is a starship-travelling robot after all. I'll happily watch Futurama through again to help find some good lines.

RE: Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope

I was watching a little Droids the other day and it occurred to me that you could get some hilarious Anthony Daniels lines.  One that he said was, "I don't care if he likes me or not, just get me out of this embarrassing position!" or something close to that.  There are various places you could put a line like that throughout the trilogy, so I'll just suggest it here.  If that sort of thing is worthwhile to you, you could really go to town borrowing his other 3PO lines.

The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit.  Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

^ I was thinking that might work too. There are so many alternate 3PO lines from other sources.

This is more me:

I quite like the idea of Chewie speaking with the voice of Fozzie Bear (plenty of material to work with for three films).
