I edited together a sequence with RotJ opening with Palpatine's arrival and it doesn't look like it's going to work. Not only would it be very repetitive of ESB's new opening, it doesn't flow quite right from then on. On a positive note, I think the flow of the Jabba scenes staring out with Boush and Jabba might work with the right subtitles. C-3PO would have to be painted out of a few shots that can't just be cut; that wouldn't be easy. So looking at everything, there are several ways to edit the beginning of Rotj:

-Dagobah: Yoda's Death
-Dagobah: Luke/Obi-Wan
-DSII: Emperor's Arrival
-Tatooine: Droids through Escape (original flow)
-DSII: "Move the fleet to the far side of Endor."
-Rebel Fleet
(Original flow from then on)

OR

-Dagobah: Yoda's Death
-Dagobah: Luke/Obi-Wan
-DSII: Emperor's Arrival
-Tattoine: Musical, Boush, Han de-thawed, Han and Leia captured
-Tatooine: Droids, Captured
-Tatooine: Luke arrives through escape (original flow)
-DSII: "Move the fleet to the far side of Endor."
-Rebel Fleet
(Original flow from then on)

OR

-Dagobah: Yoda's Death
-Tattoine: Musical, Boush, Han de-thawed, Han and Leia captured
-Dagobah: Luke/Obi-Wan
-DSII: Emperor's Arrival
-Tatooine: Droids, Captured
-Tatooine: Luke arrives through escape (original flow)
-DSII: "Move the fleet to the far side of Endor."
-Rebel Fleet
(Original flow from then on)

OR

-Tattoine: Musical, Boush, Han de-thawed, Han and Leia captured
-Dagobah: Yoda's Death
-Dagobah: Luke/Obi-Wan
-DSII: Emperor's Arrival
-Tatooine: Droids, Captured
-Tatooine: Luke arrives through escape (original flow)
-DSII: "Move the fleet to the far side of Endor."
-Rebel Fleet
(Original flow from then on)

The first one would be the easiest obviously, and what we would do if we couldn't figure out a way to make the more complicated Tatooine resequencing work. Of all the complicated scenarios, the second would be my preferance. Feedback?
