Any deleted scenes you want to use for fan edit but the quality was lacking, may not be off the table-

I really hope that the deleted scene with Vader telepathically reaching out to Luke in the cave at the start of the film could be restored and reinserted into ROTJ:Revisited. It’s a scene that should never have been cut.

I think that scene recontextualises the whole movie for the better, it adds some depth and gravitas (which the film could do with to be honest), it rightfully places the Father/Son relationship front and centre, and makes the final act even more epic and impactful.

It’s certainly better condition footage than the deleted scene linked above with Luke using his binoculars, that one was far rougher. It would be quite a coup if the Vader and Luke scene could be sufficiently restored to add back in to Revisited, and for me it would be the single biggest improvement that could be made to ROTJ.

Sorry, but it’s not being included. In fact, Adywan retimed the shot with the wipe transition to R2 and 3PO so that there is no more of that slowdown that was added to make up for the removal of the scene.
