Magister Pontifex MaximusI notice that much of the footage of Luke recovering in the medical bay on Hoth matches Seb Shaw's position on the shuttle ramp.
So you could have a situation where Luke removes Vader's helmet to find his own face under there just like in the cave dream.

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFT^I like that. If ambiguity were kept throughout the whole movie as to who was Luke's sister, you could even have Vader/Luke say in Luke's voice, "I am your sister," and then die. This could even be extended to ESB where Vader might say, "Obi-wan never told you what happened to your twin sister...I am your sister!" And statements that "Sister...I am your twin sister," could send Luke into the rage that ultimately leads to defeating Vader. Heck, it could even go back to ANH with Luke asking, "He betrayed and murdered your sister," and Luke saying, "But I have no sister." The new "sister" plot could be the ridiculous thread that ties the whole trilogy together. To tie up other lines that wouldn't match the plot, you could ultimately reveal that someone else is his father, like Obi-wan himself or the Emperor.
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.

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralitySo his dad is Obi-Wan, Vader is Luke's sister... Does that mean that Anakin has to die in Episode 3 since he's not going to be Vader?

How about ending the whole Ridiculousness Saga with an epic Ewok Celebration montage set to 'Do You Here The People Sing' from Les Mis. You could cut together footage from all 6 films and end with an angelic force ghost choir appearing one by one. This multilanguage version would be nice for Star Wars fans from around the world.

...You could pan out very slowly as ghosts of everybody who has died appears bit by bit...

Points Of Origin FanJake Lloyd needs to make a force ghost appearance. Perhaps yelling out "yipee" as his head fades into the picture.

Have Luke ask Yoda several times, "Is ______ my father?"
Fill in the blank with various names/dialogue Luke has said throughout the movies: Princess Leia, Ben Kenobi, Han, Biggs, Master Yoda, R2, Threepio, my father, the Death Star, the tower, Jabba, Aunt Beru, Luke Skywalker, attack pattern delta, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Every time he asks, show Yoda with a skeptical/disappointed look on his face, or have him say no. Have Luke ask again, and fill in the blank with a different name. Repeat.

Awesome idea. You could also lift Mark Hamill dialogue from outside the films as well (i.e., from interviews and suchforth).
"Is George my father?"
"Is Carrie my father?"
"Is the Joker my father?"
Etc.

I suggested this earlier, but I like the idea of having him ask "Is my father my father?" Or perhaps "Is my father my father my father my father?"

The shot of Han and Co. pearing over the log is perfect for it.

Magister Pontifex MaximusThe excuse Lucas gives for Hayden being the Force ghost is Anakin died when he became Vader which is silly because we see Anakin chat to Luke before he died but...he doesn't wear those robes when he died.
Maybe Bob or someone could make a Force ghost with Seb Shaw looking the way he did when Anakin died (wearing the Vader suit and covered in scars but smiling).
That would be ridiculous.
