A slightly different idea I had for the tauntaun:
2 more options:
- replace John Candy with Nute Gunray (maybe even "now there are two of them" would work here)
or
- replace him with Jimmy Hoffa (did Ford ever say the name?)

Quotes from Batman for Lando are great, but I think quotes from Brian's Song might be even better. There could be a whole lot of attention to the fact that he's the only black man in the OT, and considering the theme of Brian's Song, you'd have a lot of lines to pull from.
Here is a small sample from IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068315/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu
Another example, when he sees Han, "How you doin' you old pirate! So good to see you! How's your mother?"
You're right. This would be really great. :)
Didn't Billy record an album? I think it was called Let's Misbehave. He could burst into song every once in a while just to be told to stop it.
Edit to add:
Just thought about this scene: Han and Lando meet (The "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler."-scene) Have that really long awkward pause with crickets and all the thingmajigs, just to let Lando repeat the line. Maybe with some alternating reaction shots. Tension, tension everywhere!
I originally had the idea of using John Candy frozen in the back of the pickup to be inside the tauntaun, but that shot of him looking surprised made me laugh more, so I used that instead. An alternate idea would've been to use Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels frozen in Dumb and Dumber, with Jim Carrey's dialogue heard as Luke is inserted inside the tauntaun saying "your hands are freezing!"
How about when Lando moves forward to act like he's going to attack Han, instead of seeing the rest of that moment, we cut to Chewie and Leia, with a punching sound effect, to show that Lando was actually serious. THEN he starts laughing and we cut back to the original scene.

Here's a few ideas for Lando TooCoolToHandle:
His line at 0:12 could be used when Han arrives to Cloud City.
This line could also be used just before the reveal of Darth Vader in Cloud City.

John Candy gave me a good laugh as well. :D I haven't seen Dumb and Dumber in ages (not really my thing) but this could work as well. Or we go good ol' Jack in Shining.
Lando really hitting Han could work as well. In combination with Chewie and Leia not really caring about it, this could be really funny. Han could feature a black eye after that. For the rest of this movie and R.O.T.R.-n.t.b.c.w.R.O.T.R. (Return of the Ridiculousness - not to be confused with Revenge of the Ridiculousness) since it wouldn't have time to heal.
Can you do that, Frink? :D

"Take Me To Your Cinema"It would be great if the whole Hoth sequence was rescored with Chrismas tunes as if that's why it's been snowing and not because it's an ice panet.
It could be piped in on the Hoth-Base intercom (Like you hear in shops) and heard over the cockpit radios in the battle.

There could be a punch heard offscreen, followed by Leia saying "yes, very friendly."
I imagine the black eye might be hard to do, but if it were possible, it would be funny to have it last up until Han says "I think my eyes are getting better" in ROTJ, lol.

... 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!"

I am not sure where this would fit:
James Earl Jones' performance in Comin to America is comedy gold. There was also a funny video on youtube where someone dubbed the quotes from Coming to America onto A New Hope.

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.

Watched Coming to America yesterday It's like the writers deliberately wrote lines for JEJ to sound like Star Wars. Frink could probably cut every line into the ridiculous OT

Pretty good idea. I don't own CtA either but I remember that being funny enough to buy. But I can't decide if I want to go with JEJ throughout, or completely change up the voice.
The advantage of staying with JEJ is that it will be easier to maintain some sort of related plot, which is something I always try to achieve where possible.

Maybe Shatner? That would be A LOT of content, but spread out over A LOT of episodes.

As far as I'm concerned Vader should always come on to 'Walk On By' by Isaac Hayes (3.20 in the clip^). One of the most awesome pieces of music ever...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXlUNuBYGgU
I never get tired of watching that 'Vader Sessions' clip. Favourite bit is when Vader says...
"I quit on you when you cleared outta Dee-troit with Willie the Pimp"
Most of the dialogue is from...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaatLmePZBc
^ skip to about 10-13 minutes in to hear alot of it (Damn JEJ is amazing in it)
Some of the dialogue is taken from the notorious film 'Soul Man'...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_n1IuJYWko
This clip shouldn't be funny...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-moX6XKeVcQ
^ I'm sure everyone involved meant well.

"I am more than the exhalted ruler of this land" (Force chokes Motti)

Keeper of the Taco SandwichAt the end of the Bespin duel when Luke is cornered, he could look down and back up at Vader... then back down.... and back up over and over again, until finally the disembodied voice of Obi-Wan (taken from ANH) tells him "Let go!"

If you do go with this idea (which is an excellent one, BTW), I would highly recommend It's Christmas at Ground Zero once the Imperial attack begins.

Magister Pontifex MaximusReplacing E3PO with Twiki might be doable as the eyeline is so much lower.
You would then get a double gag of Threepio looking at empty space and then the 'camera' looking down to the little guy.

RoninIf the Spock cameo tradition continues, then Spock in the ice cave from the 2009 film could be intercut with Luke hanging upside down. He could be observing Luke but not bothering to lend a hand.
