Here's a really crazy idea. I'm sure it'll be shot down, but here goes anyway:
Don't destroy the Death Star at the end of A New Hope.
I know there are a million reasons this won't work. (What is the Death Star doing during ESB? Why is it being rebuilt in Jedi? What's there to celebrate at the end of ANH?) But what if someone here could find a way to pull it off?
We all know George Lucas only squeezed the destruction of the Death Star into Episode IV because he didn't know if the other movies would be made. By removing this from Episode IV, it might help to strengthen some of the weaknesses of Episode VI. ROJ just feels so rehashed as it is.
So?
