Things I still wish were done are, putting Boba back in (I don't miss Jabba though, they could never get him to work, the tail stomping is silly and the scene is pointless after the Greedo scene) but it have been nice to have dropped the Boba shot into the streets of Mos Eisley as a mysterious figure who may be tracking Kenobi and Co or Han and Chewie only to have his background filled in later (or serve as a reminder of AOTC if seen from 1 to 6).

...

The only addition to Empire I can think of (that has yet to been mentioned as far as I can remember) would be to have the Star Destroyer bridge hit by the asteroid instead of vanishing in an explosive cloud to snap off and fly towards the screen sparking after being hit in the neck. It would explain why her Captain is still alive for a fraction of a second during the video conference with Vader (something I thought was great fun when I was young and still do).

...

I know it's very early days but for Jedi (and boy do you have your work cut out there) my instincts are a little different from yours as I'd keep Boba's womanising but I'd rejig the sabre action on the skiff so rather than have Solo accidentally sending him to his death, I'd have Luke cut his head off mirroring what happened to his father in AOTC. The main subtext of ROTJ is Luke trying to avoid following the same fate as his father, Boba followed his father's path so it makes symbolic sense if he suffered the same fate.

 

 These are interesting ideas.  The shot in Empire in particular seemed like a cop-out.  A major section of the ship is here one second and gone the next.  It definitely needs something.

 A few examples of something similar (sticking to the Empire shot as per the Master's request) are the Reliant's nacelle being shot off in Star Trek II, The Pegasus hanger bay breaking off and striking the Cylon Basestar in nuBSG and I suppose, keeping it in the Star Wars family (and specifically within the same 30 minutes of the same film) the TIE fighter losing it's solar panel and spinning out of control (another element I also loved when I first saw the film all those years ago).
