now a bolder suggestion: emperor's minions could perhaps (if technically possible) changed from humans to neimoidians. There is plenty of neimoidian footage in the PT. This would be really a minor change since emperor's minions play no real role in the OT, but as neimoidian opportunistic nature suggests, they stay close to the ruling party - the emperor.

But after he becomes Emperor, isn't Palpatine supposed to become a 'specist', which is why the Empire is entirely human? Because he has a disdain for non-humans.

Anyway, some humble suggestions from me...

ESB:
Change Captain Needa's shuttle to a Tydirium model...I hate the stupid block thing that they left in for the SE

Get rid of that terrible new Wampa footage. It doesn't even remotely match the original stuff...the lighting, the creature design, none of it. I also think the scene is more effective without the added footage.

Maybe articulate Yoda a little more to make him look more like the CG version in the PT.

Something should be done about the Emperor scene, but retaining McDiamird as the Emperor IMO is a must.

If this edit is made to fit into the PT canon, Fett's voice should probably stay as Morrison. Unless you can 'fanon' it and make up some thing about his larynx being damaged or something. Or like Gorilla said a voice scrambler. Maybe you can even alter Wingreen's versions to sound either more digital or like Morrison's voice, because Morrison's delivery was really weak here.

I don't mind the added Star Destroyer stuff, but maybe you can just cut the landing scene so we see the shuttle coming in to land, but never actually land. That, or find a way to make the landing footage new...could be extremely difficult. As for Vader's lines...well doesn't the original 'Prepare my shuttle' line from the OOT version make sense even with the added footage? Couldn't you just use that instead of the pointless changed line?

ROTJ:

Lapti Nek and YubNub need to make a serious comeback. But if you use the original puppet footage, maybe remove Sy Snootle's 'snot', the string that goes from her mouth to the microphone (I assume) to control the effect. It's so obvious that I even noticed it when I was a kid.

The Sarlaac pit needs to go back to it's beakless state.

Don something about Yoda's finger/hand bending during his death scene...it's an obvious rubber hand.

Leave the poor Ewoks alone, I never minded them.

I actually like Hayden appearing as a ghost. It's a kind of visualization for the "Vader betrayed and murdered Anakin" thing and to me, it just makes sense that his spirit would be that of who he was before he went to the Dark Side.
