For all the talk about the changes, how about some omissions? There are some things I personally would have preferred to have been cut, even from the OOT. For example, I've never liked the slapsticky and cartoonish tint that was added to ROTJ, and for my own fan edit, there are a few things I'm likely to at least try to remove (if possible):

- The clips of the droids being torured in Jabba's dungeon, accompanied by cartoonish screams
- A few clips of Jabba's tiny annoying laughing creature
- The sarlacc burp (never cared that much for Fett, but this is bordering on too stupid)
- Chewbacca's Tarzan brawl (how's that for pulling you out of the moment)

Of course, I don't want the films to appear too pompous and turgid either, after all they're just fairy tales and a few moments of comedy is in order, but even as a kid I didn't really like the above mentioned things, and I wonder how the various scenes would fit together with these clips removed.
