Also, can the Jedi be returned to their mystical warrior selves and away from the super heroes they are in the PT? Jedi should not need a ligtsaber as they become more powerful withe force, because they become more passive and defensive and less aggressive and offensive.
I'm with you 100% on this! That's what made the Emperor so much more dangerous than Vader at the end of ROTJ. He could floor Luke without going anywhere near him and he hardly broke a sweat!

I'd like to extend the saga to 9 episodes, so that Palpatine is not defeated in ROTJ and lasts until episode 9. Over the final three episodes I would like to see Luke seek out the last few Jedi in the galaxy and found a new secret temple to start rebuilding the Jedi order. Episode 9 would see the showdown between Palpatine and the last of the Sith and the new Jedi Order. Bail Organa is vindicated, as the Jedi are the decisive factor in overthrowing Palpatine and his regime.

I had an idea that the spirits of past Jedi (I don't hold with it being something that started only a few years ago with Qui-Gon, as Luca$h's PT has it) join with the new Jedi Order in defeating the Sith. The way I imagine it, the spirits are something the Sith don't know about and this unforseen power tips the balance against the Sith.


About the Jedi Spirit tipping the balance, it could be like in Return of the King, just as the orcs are about to win the battle of Minas Tirith the army of the dead shows up and kick the orcs butts. Except this would be between the Jedi and Sith.

The sith have beaten the Jedi back and only a few remain. They are all lined up against their enemies ready to face their deaths proud and honorable in true Jedi fashion, and the emperor stairs on with a mad gleam on his face. He thinks he has finally won. He says mockingly
"It would appear, my foolish Jedi, that the light does not always win." He begins to laugh, and then all the Jedi spirits from ages past and recent appear standing at attention. The emperor's laugh stops, the Sith's courage waver, and the Jedi defeat them and the emperor.
