The only thing I can think of (and this applies to the entire trilogy) is for it to be R rating material.

Mind you, I love the OT as it is. However, I always imagine an alternate universe where the lightsaber doesn’t cauterize wounds, blasters result in bloody sprays, the Rancor graphically devours its victims, Jabba’s eyes pop out when Leia kills him, etc. Obviously I would never expect exploitation-type violence, just something in the line of Conan, the Alien franchise or John Carpenter’s films.

Essentially such a scenario would have prevented the franchise to become what it is now, albeit the films would still get a much deserved cult following.

While I don’t see how weapons utilizing superheated plasma could leave behind bloody injuries, this.

I also would’ve liked some more sexual content in the series. I’m not saying we needed any sex scenes, but some nudity wouldn’t have hurt.
