Idea: The Arcto Edit - Return Of The Jedi Fan Edit (* unfinished project *)

 (Edited)

This is my new ROTJ Fan Edit, I felt that there were not enough of them out there and the ones which did exist were good but felt unfinished.

Here is what I plan to do anyway.

Make the Dagobah sequence come first

My reason for this is because it is in my opinion, the most important thing Luke must do left open for this film, keep his promise to Yoda. Plus it is one of the few ESB style scenes out there and it sets the main plot right at the begining. I am also going to add Luke crafting his lightsaber on Dagobah and add the entire deleted scene along with Vaders calling (cleaned up and remastered).

Shorten the Jabbas Palace sequence to start only when Luke comes in.

This sequence is way too long, no exuses. It takes up a quater of the entire film and all that needs to happen is that the rescue Han Solo, plain and simple. Leia will also be Jabbas most beautiful slave girl right from the get go and Han will already be free from carbonite. Luke fights the Rancor, driven to the sarlac, kills everyone, and then goes.

Cut out the Ewoks, but re-add deleted scenes to make up for loss of screen time.

I will add tons of deleted scenes to confonsate for the pacing, I will even add some deleted scenes from empire possibly.

Make the film less cheesy all together

I will make the film seem like the direct sequel to ESB, and make it about Lukes journey to redeam his father, I will get rid of all stupid comedy and ect.

This will be avalible on Fan Edit.info soon, in a few months at most, if you would like to be part of this fan edit and colaborate with me then you are more than welcome to.

Cutting chunks from the Jabba sequence is a bold move. I don't think I've ever heard that particular variation suggested before, it would be interesting to see how it plays out.

Presumably you with explain how the heroes got themselves captured in an altered crawl?

Yes, I will, the whole crawl will be changed. Even the name of the film, The edit is called The Last Of The Jedi.
