I'm yet to see your re-edits of the first two films (they are in the mail, thanks to Rikter!) and i'm hanging out to see them as I've heard a lot of good reports about them, but I was bit shocked to read that you're contemplating doing re-edits of the original trilogy , as the general concensus seems to be that these should remain untampered with . Although I'm more than a little curious as to what could possibly be added to (or removed from) the original trilogy, but I guess Return of the Jedi could do with some stategic editing.

but as for changing the titles, is it really necessary?, I must admit that I never really liked the rebranding of StarWars to 'A New Hope' it always seemed a bit wish-washy, but given it's position in the overall film cycle, it does seem to be the most appropriate title, and as for 'Revenge of the Jedi' it doesn't really fit into what happens within the movies themes of Vader returning from the darkside, although Redemption of the Jedi is probably a bit of a mouthfull.
