Here's an idea - Cut the movie length pilot down to a 22 minute pilot? [If you don't then i might...;)] You could trim a lot of fat during padded out battle sequences where nothing really feels at stake and no one is gaining the upper hand.
Add the Fox fanfare and logos, Skyjedi? - Overall I think that's a terrible idea - as much as fans might enjoy it. I'd think that sort of thing to be misleading and insulting. This is not a fox release - people just need to deal with that, Does anyone really care outside of hearing the fanfare? - Makes people seem kinda shallow.
However, An opening crawl and JW main theme might work, I support your dialogue changes, if it all works out well. The droids are far too slapstick.
It might be interesting down the track to mix a few episodes into a fresh movie, But I guess we'll have to wait and see how things play out...
What really annoys me most about the film is the boring plotline. everything else is minor, I don't really mind a lot of things that a lot of people seem to be up in arms about.
