Have the Bernstein Bears theme play while the ewoks are preparing to roast Luke and Han.

Also, play the hephalumps and woozles song from Winnie the Pooh instead of lapti nek, editing in close ups of various aliens in the chorus.

That’s right, golDen.

Luke and Jabba could go hypnotoad on each other, (it turns into a long staring contest) but both are unaffected.

Is it possible to put Trump in place of the Emperor?

That was gold. I was impressed with how seamless the editing was.

I’m hoping that some of the creatures from The Neverending Story and the Hawkmen from Flash Gordon can help the Ewoks bring down the Empire.

Well, Falkor helps out Obi in ROTR if that makes you feel any better.

The Death Star could take a couple shots at the Empress’ tower. And puzzled reaction shots from Bastian, as Star Wars characters suddenly appear in the book. 😉

To further confuse matter Peter Faulk could be reading it from The Princess Bride and check with his grandson that it isn’t going too far when Yoda died.

Use the Ian McDiarmid line from Dragonslayer when Brother Jacobus is scorched by the dragon, “Unclean beast! Get thee down! Be thou consumed by the fires that made thee!” This could be used as Vader prepares to throw him in the shaft.

Truthfully, there probably would have been a better place to put this in the prequels somewhere, but since you’re almost done, there’s no point.

I disagree that there’s no point, I’m always open to new ideas on ROTR until it’s locked down.

With that said I probably wouldn’t use that one in ROTR.

Wow, I totally didn’t know Ian was in Dragonslayer. Need to watch that again someday.

The twist of Leia being Luke’s sister is just asking to be made fun of. Why not have a bunch of other characters gradually reveal that they’re related to him too?, with increasingly minor character related in increasingly minor ways. Either that, or make it really obvious that Obi-Wan’s lying when he answers yes to Leia being Luke’s sister, but Luke buys it anyways. Anyway, I’m gonna go put a laugh track over that scene now.

Don’t mean to split hairs in a thread that’s not serious to begin with but technically obi Wan never actually directly confirmed it.

That’s true, but I’m think he should say something like “Uh…yeah, sure…it’s totally her.” so as to make it painfully obvious to the audience that he’s lying while that fact goes completely over Luke’s head. Btw, I finished adding a laughtrack.

When Vader is on the funeral pyre:

“You catch on fire pretty quick.”

Author

Quick dumb thing: At some point as Obi-Wan is explaining to Luke that his twin sister was hidden, Luke interjects, “We got separated,” prompting Obi-Wan to abruptly pause and stare him down for a moment before continuing.

My stance on revising fan edits.

I don’t know if anything similar has been suggested, yet.

LUKE
But you’ll die.

VADER
Nothing can stop that now. Just for once… let me look on you with my
own eyes.

LEO’s voice
Haven’t I always been a good uncle?

LUKE
No. You’re coming with me. I can’t leave you here. I’ve got to save
you.

LEO’s Voice
Come on! I’m an old man. I’m confused! What’s my name? Will you take me home?
