I don’t know much of the details of ROTJ:R, but I did feel a bit disappointed with the current information.
I grew up watching the Prequel + Original Trilogy. And, I always thought, Return of the Jedi was the most proper ending to the Skywalker Saga, especially since the Yub Nub Celebration song was swapped for the Victory Celebration song in the Special Edition; (I am sorry if I upset anyone who adore the Yub Nub song). But, as from what I’m reading so far, it seems as if ROTJ:R is going to be altered story-wise by a considerable extent. As for, it will be in favor of being a connection to The Force Awakens.
I wish there was some way to have a version where, ROTJ is the definitive ending, where the Sequel Trilogy doesn’t occur after that. (For purists) With two tracks, so one has the Yub Nub Celebration song, while the other has the Victory Celebration song.
Ady, if you read this post, you don’t have to go for this suggestion.
The “Luke on his own by the funeral pyre” ending was only and idea, which was dropped shortly after. The ending to ROTJ:R will be the 1983 version of the film. No planet montage, no Hayden and no Victory Celebration. I’m not sure where you get the impression that ROTJ is being drastically altered story wise. The only thing remotely like that is the additions to the space and ground battles. The Skywalker saga is 9 films, like it or not. I like the sequel trilogy so if i want to connect anything to that, then i will. I added the TFA bunker in ESB:R. I hate the prequels, but i still have connections to those added in my edits, so why not the sequels? And there won’t be 2 audio tracks for ROTJ. I really dislike the Victor Celebration music, even more when realising its just copy of a piece of music that was used as a rough guide from a Native American mini-series. I’ve always felt since 1997 that it sounds so out of place in the film, and now i know why
