Lately I’ve been wondering if it’s at all possible to re-edit TESB into the concluding chapter of a SW Duology — ie. remove the loose ends which set up a sequel and make ROTJ completely irrelevant.
First things first, Han would have to die; I imagine that could be accomplished easily enough with some trimmed dialogue/footage. But I imagine the ending would have to be restructured a tad as well; I have no ideas on that front.
