I’d like to suggest completely removing the Leia and Wicket scene.
I’m all for cutting the Force Choke.

I used to think you should cut all familiar characters from the briefing scene since they mostly just bring cheese, and maybe we still should.

Cut this scene
NOW
Val, again my taste tallies with yours - ever since seeing the longer cut of The Abyss I’ve preferred and sought out movies ‘extended edition’. However Original Trilogy is a fan edit site born from the prequels. The natural inclination of most of the guys here is to cut. It becomes that the movie is almost a puzzle, or a technical exercise what lines / scenes can be cut whilst preserving logic. There are dozens of variations on the prequels that use this approach, sometimes cutting so drastically that all 3 films are reduced just down to 1.
For me, I’d hate to see the Boussh scene cut or the Leia meets Wicket scene cut or the Ben force ghost. All of these have some value in them and some meaning to me. I would rather see more of the story rather than less, and I would miss them if they were gone. If the quality was high enough it would be great to have all the deleted scenes restored.
Jedi Rocks however… well you got me there!
