Some ROTJ Suggestions:

- Jabba's palace music number removed/heavily altered. If not, at least remove that damn fat chick that's walking around

- Boba Fett flirting with aliens removed (Basically the part where he touches her chin)

- Leave the scene where it shows the frog thing outside of Jabba's Palace, but please take out the burp after it eats.

- Re-done FX when Leia releases Han from the carbonite.

- Remove the part where it shows the fat guy crying about the rancor dying.

- When R2D2 launches Luke's saber, Luke puts his arm in the air and is just standing there while the lightsaber takes way too long to get there. Anyone could have easily pushed Luke into the pit by that time (especially the guy RIGHT BESIDE HIM!) So maybe shorten the amount of time it takes for that.

- Also during the sail barge fight, when Luke get's shot in the hand; why was he just standing there with his arm perfectly straight up in the air? Also, the mark was on his hand before he even got hit. I think that should just be removed and when it shows him putting on his glove later, it can just me recolored to look like skin.

- Boba Fett's "death": I don't think he should have such a stupid death. Especially with that horrible scream he let's out. But, I also really disagree that he be removed from the film entirely. Boba Fett does not die in the Sarlaac pit. On the commentary for ROTJ, George Lucas states that he was going to add a scene of Fett escaping the pit but didn't have the time or something. So HE IS meant to get out of there. So, you could show him climbing out or even see him fly by on his jetpack as Luke and the gang are leaving.

- Yoda's death: Not a big deal, but I always thought it looked fake how his body disappears, maybe it could look more consistent?

- Rebel meeting with Mon Mothma: This scene could be re-cut or altered or something because I always found it to be the most boring part of this film for some reason. Also, the hologram graphics could be re-done.

- Ewoks should be toned down A LOT in my opinion. Any comic relief related to the ewoks should be totally removed. The less ewoks in the movie, the better. And all of the music when showing the ewoks is just terrible.

- Luke vs Vader: I always found the lightsabers to be too thick. If you compare them to all of the other lightsabers throughout the trilogy, they're much bigger in width, I noticed. The best saber effects IMO, are the ones from Episode II.  Even the sound of the lightsabers are different in ROTJ. Also, I think the idea of Luke's eyes turning red would be pretty cool. I mean, when Anakin had red eyes, he wasnt fully turned to the dark side. They even went away. They didnt become red again until after he was on fire. The Emperor's last scream could be altered a bit too, but not a big deal.

- Super Star Destroyer crash: Could the scene somehow be flipped sideways or something so it looks like it drives straight into the Death Star instead of falling into it?

- If you keep the celebration scenes at the end, take out the Gungan saying "Weesa free!" from when it shows Naboo.

- Anakin, for his ghost & when Luke takes off his helmet: When Luke takes of the helmet, make him look like an older Hayden Christensen and do so with the ghost as well. His voice should also be altered to sound like an older Christensen. By my calculations, Anakin should be around the age of 45 by this time. Another idea would be to make him look like an older Christensen, but instead of doing that with his ghost too, just leave the young ghost. To keep the continuity, Hayden Christensen has to be in it (sadly) one way or another. Also, when he's a ghost he should have his dark brown Jedi clothes from the PT. That was his personal choice of Jedi tunics because he wanted to be unique. (Read that in my episode 2 visual dictionary)

Adywan, I hope you take at least some of my thoughts into consideration when revisiting ROTJ, which I know you wont be doing for a while, but I just wanted to make these points since I just watched it again, haha.
