My suggestions.

  1. Restore the deleted scene of Darth Vader in his meditation chamber calling out to Luke as he constructs his new green lightsaber. The scene seamlessly connects the opening Death Star sequence with the Tatooine rescue sequence, which seem disconnected in the theatrical version.

  2. Improve the pacing in the Tatooine rescue sequence. Cut the droid torture scene. Cut the song and dance routine. Cut the dancer falling through the trap door. Cut Leia haggling with Jabba over the bounty for Chewbacca. Cut the thermal detonator. Cut Leia bumping into wind chimes. Cut C-3PO warning Luke that he is standing upon a trap door. Cut the herd of Banthas. Cut the barge sailing over the sand. In general, trim the first act as much as possible.

  3. Boba Fett should use a flamethrower before dying valiantly.

  4. Restore the deleted footage of Yoda confessing, “Obi-Wan would have told you long ago, had I let him.”

  5. Replace the wallpaper background for the docking bay.

  6. Cut the Emperor’s surprise at Vader’s revelation that Luke is among the rebels on Endor.

  7. Since you will not edit the prequels, you should cut Leia’s description of her mother to eliminate a contradiction with Revenge of the Sith.

LUKE: Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

LEIA: She died when I was very young. (looks up) Why are you asking me this?

He looks away, in anguish.

LUKE: I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.

  1. Cut Leia’s line, “Somehow, I’ve always known.”

  2. Keep all elements of the Special Edition ending other than Hayden Christensen playing Anakin’s ghost.
