Awesome, glad you agree! In some ways, a fan edit of TROS might have more leeway since the existing pacing and editing sets such a low standard.
A big picture fix that is improbable but not impossible would be tweaking a few lines about Palp’s resurrection to reframe him as Sith Incarnate, rather than Palp Alive again. In other words, the reason he was brought back was not his own power (he still dies in ROTJ), but the power of the Sith/Dark Side, like an opposite Gandalf, and he operates now as little more than a puppet of the Sith spirits. It is implied enough in the movie, but I find it much more reasonable to think in those terms; I wish he spoke more in terms of “we” like Gollum to hit that home.
