Rogue Leader, those are all good ideas. I like Leia’s politics angle for the Ewoks. Is it worth considering subtitles for the Ewoks to help sell that concept?

My favourite edit of ROTJ, which I don’t think is available any more and I’ve forgotten the name of, also restructured the ending.

The editor made the sensible observation that there’s very litle jeopardy at the end because all of the good guys are trying to destroy the second Death Star, whilst Luke and the Vader he’s trying to redeem are on there, so you kind of know they can’t destroy it while it’s populated by our main characters. So to fix that, they used an alternate establishing shot to have the shuttle take Luke and Vader to the Emperor’s throne room now on the Super Star Destroyer, and created some shots of the DSII flying past the windows of the Emperor’s throne room to reinforce it.

Now, the Rebels aren’t trying to blow up a station with the hero of the Rebellion/last Jedi Knight on it.

This edit also enabled a restructuring to achieve what Michael Arndt said was always one of the strengths of A New Hope, which was that all of the main character arcs got to burst into success at the same moment (originally Han returning, Luke taking the shot, destruction of the Death Star), so similarly the edit mentioned above was able to be better timed because you weren’t dependent on getting Luke off the DSII before kicking off the attack.
