I've got a brand new three-thousand-dollar PC with a 64-bit processor, two spacious hard-drives and all the appropriate software (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Womble, etc.) designed and geared specifically for film editing, but sadly, I have no idea how to make a finished product, otherwise I'd be working on an edit right now. I wish I knew where to get the info on how to use this stuff. Because right now, it's serving as a $3,000 CD/DVD burner.
So true. This is where Lucas' sensibilities began to decay.
Anyway, I think the best way to fix the Saga involves changes to ANH-- because it's the one movie that was written without the saga in mind. It plays all on its own, but as "Episode IV" it has a lot of problems. Have I gone too far?

I'll have my list of things for ROTJ -- but it's brutal. The whole Jabba sequence makes so little sense ("...Let's see, Lando? You sneak in and gets a job as Jabba's guard. No wait, it'll work. Then send the droids in to threaten him and I'll come get caught after Leia gets herself caught while freeing Han. Then we'll all go to the Sarlac pit where Artoo will be in perfect position to throw me my lightsaber. Whattaya mean, how? Why, he'll be hired as a drink server of course! Aren't you paying attention?")

Blasphemy!
Seriously though, MTH, with the exception of editing down some of the long pauses between dialogue to make it more kinetic, and the musical additions/subtractions, what would you change?
