Anyway, the reason I replied to this post at all was to say that your ideas for Jedi kick ass. I don't mind the Ewoks, I'm talking about Luke. Luke seems like the perfect little hero in Jedi, and, yes, at the end of the story, hero is what he should be going for. But there's really nothing going on with the character, if you think about it. He's just the stalwart, "I have to save my father!" guy. I think there should have been more insight into his personal life (i.e. Leia), and I've always thought the whole twin thing just seemed to come out of nowhere and that, since it was there, there should have been a bigger payoff to it since you could have the exact same story without it. I think it would have been better if, even though Luke has matured as a Jedi, he was still a young man, and he still had feelings and was still able to carry on, even though he had lost the woman of his dreams. In other words, he just needed more, like the Luke of Empire had. He had several motivations in that one: to become a Jedi, to help his friends, to avenge his father and Ben. And those desires very often conflicted with one another. Much more interesting than, "I have to save my father," with nothing else.
So, to sum up, I enjoyed your post. It really made me think about things I've never thought about before.
