but i think thats an interesting idea what you have in mind...is there anyway you can make it one like maybe 4-6 hour movie? maybe it starts off with the start of episode IV, replace the death star with the ROTJ version, can still have alderaan get blown up maybe (this part i would need to think about) after they save Leia they run to hoth, where the empire chases them, basically ESB happens, beginning of Jedi happens, you wanted to remove the ewoks you said (which i dont mind them, but only one 'destruction of the DS' can be used anyway) so then it goes to the ANH death star fight/ending. all done as one continuous cut/movie
would be pretty different, would prob get a lot of flack from some people if you did that, but i think it would be interesting to see.

If you use the Death Star fight from the first movie, then how would the redemption of Anakin Skywalker work? You'd have (a much younger than in previous scenes) Luke flying in the battle against the Death Star, so there's no way he could be onboard fighting Vader and resisting the Emperor at the same time. And, of course, Darth Vader would be flying his own TIE as well. Plus, there'd really be nothing for Lando to do, unless you used elements from both battles (having to fire at the exhaust port and knock out the main reactor from the inside as well and somehow have it make sense). I could see that work. You could alter dialogue so it doesn't look like Wedge is leaving battle because he's been injured but leaving to join Lando's group and go inside. As for the whole Anakin thing, well, I'm still not sure how you'd do that, but I do think it would be cool to have two "fronts" for the Death Star battle to take place in.
