Some ROTJ Suggestions:

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

- 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.

I personally always loved the bit when the Rancor keeper cries.

And as for George Lucas saying this or that 20 years after the fact, the man is notorious for fibbing about what he 'meant' to do.

The simple fact is, Boba Fett is not that important to the movies. He looks cool, outsmarts Han once, and keeps his mouth shut enough to appear mysterious. Otherwise, he does nothing. His surviving would make no sense in the movie. It would just be EU fanwank.
