RotJ:R Suggestion Summary:

Italics: Adywan has confirmed considering this.
Strikethrough: Adywan has denied ever doing this.

Opening:

Consider the more radical re-edits to the entire movie (RotJ: Fan-O-Matic)

Change the opening crawl to something more dramatic than "Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba The Hutt"

Add evidence of construction vehicles working on the Death Star, maybe even as just hints of movement around the incomplete side.

Replace the shot of the Star Destroyer going overhead with a shot of the shuttle coming from the Executor. Axia Euxines opinion : I think I perfer the Star Destroyer, keeps it more in line with the other two films

Tatooine:

Remove Boba Fett from the film. Axia Euxines opinion : NO

Change Jawa eyes to match ANH.

"Cantina"-ize Jabba's speech and expressions. Axia Euxines opinion : A welcome addition

"Cantina"-ize other aliens in the Palace. Axia Euxines opinion : A welcome addition

Make Bib Fortuna's tentacles move occasionally. Axia Euxines opinion : would work well if dont subtley

Remove Greedo's dialog from the background noice in Jabba's Palace.

Remove 3PO's line of "Look, it's Captain Solo and he's still frozen in Carbonite!"

Cut down on Salacious Crumb's laughter.

Cut/shorten the Droid Torture scene.

Remove Jedi Rocks. Axia Euxines opinion : NO

Remove Fett flirting with the dancer. Axia Euxines opinion : NOOO That scene is awesome

Restore Lapti Nek.

Fix the flipped shots of Fett.

Change Boushh's dialog to be a more "realistic" language.

Mix up Jabba's minion's reaction to Boushh's thermal detenator so Fett isn't the only one who pulls out his gun.

Cut Lando pulling his mask down after he hits his head on the low ceiling. Axia Euxines opinion : definitely, the oh so subtle Lando Calrissian MASTER OF DISGUISE scene was always a bit much

Remove Lando hitting his head on the low ceiling.

Remove the belch from the creature outside Jabba's Palace.

Enhance the carbonite thawing process.

Add Han's restraints when he is unfrozen. Axia Euxines opinion : YES!!! bugged me for years

Remove Han's scene with Chewie in the dungeons. Axia Euxines opinion : No...why?

Remove Luke using Force Choke on the guards. Axia Euxines opinion : I assume its becuase this is more in practice with the Dark side that this suggestion has been put forth, I say leave it in, otherwise you have Luke just strolling in with no guards...lame.

Add Mara Jade (from the EU) to Jabba's Palace. Axia Euxines opinion : You know I love you ADY but darn you and your no EU. :D

Cut the Rancor Keeper's mourning.

Remove SE Bantha herd. Axia Euxines opinion : NO

Restore pre-SE Sarlacc. Axia Euxines opinion : Keep the tentacles and remove that ridiculous "I just swallowed a spice worm from Dune" beak

Add more menancing sounds to the SE Sarlacc.

Fix jump cut as R2's panel comes open and the lightsaber pops up.

Add the knob to the top of the emitter to the saber that comes out of R2. Axia Euxines opinion : Yes please

Shorten the amount of time Luke has his hand in the air waiting for his lightsaber.

"Restore" Luke's lightsaber to the preproduction blue. Axia Euxines opinion : no

Make it so Luke's lightsaber leaves slash marks on Jabba's crew. Axia Euxines opinion : yes

Remove/replace the scream as Fett spirals out of control. Axia Euxines opinion : yes

Make it so Han deliberately hits or shoots Fett using shots from later in the movie. Axia Euxines opinion : also a good idea.

Make it so Luke beheads Fett. Axia Euxines opinion : No, continuity error with EU, and yes I know you dont care about EU ADY but theres no reason to deliberately create continuity flaws

Make it so Luke deflects a bolt at Fett which sets off his backpack. Axia Euxines opinion : good idea

Fix Fett's jetpack as they come out at the wrong angle currently.

Have Fett shoot at the Sarlacc as he falls into it. Axia Euxines opinion : would never go down without fighting, this is a great idea

Add a shot of Fett crawling/flying out of the Sarlacc. Axia Euxines opinion : MY EU loving self loves this idea but I already read a lengthy discussion about how difficult this would be

Fix it so Luke actually kicks the guard while Fett flies out of control in the background. Axia Euxines opinion : yeah, thats

Restore Han's "Trust me" line.

Make it so Luke doesn't have his hand straight up in the air to get shot.

Remove Luke's hand damage from before he gets shot.

Attempt to restore the deleted Sandstorm scene and remove the ship-to-ship conversation. Axia Euxines opinion : That would be great but does that footage even exist in its entirety? How would you handle the music cues on that. The whole Battle of the skiff piece is awesome and the end would have to be changed if the sandstrom sequence was restored.

Dagobah:

"Cantina"-ize Yoda. Axia Euxines opinion : already being done on Empire and it looks brilliant, this is a no brainer.

Do something about Yoda's obvious rubber hand during his death scene.

Tweak/cut Yoda's disappearance.

Forest Moon of Endor:

Add Endor so that the Forest Moon is actually a moon of something. Axia Euxines opinion : NO, in the novelisation it clearly states that the planet was destroyed or lost somehow.

Change Ewoks to Wookiees. Axia Euxines opinion : I wish but not only is it too much work, they arent on Kashyyk

Complete removal of Ewoks. Axia Euxines opinion : I wish but then the movie would be signifigantly shorter and feel odd

"Cantina"-ize the Ewoks. Axia Euxines opinion : Definitely

Add 3PO's line "I believe they are called... Ewoks" from the Radio Drama. Axia Euxines opinion : very nice idea

Stabilize the speeder bikes during the chase. Axia Euxines opinion : that whole sequence needs to look better

Adjust the scene so it looks like the Scout pushes Luke off of his speeder bike.

Do something with Leia remembering her mother, her real mother.

Change Vader's line of "Obi-wan once thought as you do" to "Your mother once thought as you do". Axia Euxines opinion : Ady, I know you loathe and despise the prequels but this would add such a full circle moment to the saga and is a FANTASTIC idea.

Cut Teebo's Speeder Bike Adventure.

Add more Imperial laser fire as the Ewoks attack. Axia Euxines opinion : yes

Enhance AT-ST explosion that is crushed between the two logs.

Enhance AT-ST explosion that is shot by Chewie's AT-ST.

Remove Harrison Ford's reflection from safety glass as he runs from the bunker. Axia Euxines opinion : seriously

The shield generator explosion is huge and looks like it would probably wipe out everyone in the area. Axia Euxines opinion : I always felt that the generator itself was far away from the back entrance. The Ewok did say it was on the other side of the ridge. Maybe they had been running out of the Shield generator for a while before finally getting to and out of the secret entrance.

Death Star Attack:

Rebel fighters crashing into the DS shield. Axia Euxines opinion : nice

More fighters overall (B-wings and A-wings especially). Axia Euxines opinion : yeah where do the B-wings go after the opening shot? Always bothered me

Fix garbage spots in "one of the battle shots" where ships were not added.

Just before Lando says "Yes, I said closer", some of the background ships don't tilt with the rest of the shot.

Remove green matte boxes around ships.

Remove/replace some of the copy/paste capital ships.

Add more laser fire as the capital ships should be pounding on one another (a la the RotS opening). Axia Euxines opinion : oh yeah, oh yeah, SO needed

Add shots of Rebel capital ships attacking the surface of the DS (storyboard)

Better end to the Executor.

Add shots of the gunner stations on the DS (from ANH).

Redub the Rebel pilot line: "Copy, Gold Leader".

Remove ring from DS explosion.

Death Star Interior - Luke/Vader Duel:

Replace/enhance cardboard troopers during the Emperor's arrival. Axia Euxines opinion : yes please

Replace the Emperor's advisers with Nemoidians. Axia Euxines opinion : another Fantastic idea that I know ADY wont incorporate

Fix the Emperor's "slugs". Axia Euxines opinion : If you only do one edit to all of Jedi make it this one

Move the exterior battle closer to the Throne Room window as it should be (a la the RotS opening). Axia Euxines opinion : Oh yes

Remove/soften the more obvious lightsaber blade shadows. Axia Euxines opinion : yes

Fix large black matte that covers half the screen when Vader is kicked down the stars.

Fix Vader's blade coming out the wrong end of his saber as he throws it to cut the catwalk.

Remove Luke's lightsaber from Vader's hand while Luke is hiding. Axia Euxines opinion : yes, very distracting

Edit Vader's dialog to hiding Luke to remove some cheesy lines. Axia Euxines opinion : the dialog is fine as is.

Add Luke pulling his lightsaber out of Vader's hand after he is done hiding. Axia Euxines opinion : would be cool but easier to remove it from Vader's hand to begin with me thinks

Add Sith eyes while Luke is beating Vader. Axia Euxines opinion : Might be fun but Vader didnt get those until he chopped up younglings and beat down the Separtists leaders, I dont think Luke would get them that quick

Cut some of Luke's angry hits on Vader while he's down.

Add more Sith Lightning.

Tighten up Vader's hesitation to save Luke from the Emperor.

Add Qui Gon voiceover to Vader's hesitation to imply that Qui Gon passes his secrets of Jedi Ghosthood to Anakin.

Add flashbacks to Vader's hesitation of Padme, his mother, Qui Gon, etc.

Fix saber on/off issues.

Restore pre-2004 buildings to the background of the Coruscant celebration. Axia Euxines opinion : NO

Remove the "Weesa free!" line from the Naboo celebration.

Restore Yub Nub. Axia Euxines opinion : NO, SE music is SOOO much better

Restore Sebastian Shaw as Anakin's Force Ghost.

Attempt to morph Shaw and Christensen into the Anakin Force Ghost. Axia Euxines opinion : have Christensen show up first then fade into Shaw

Add other Jedi from the prequels appearing next to Obi-wan, Yoda, and Anakin.

Im adding my opinions to proposed changes. If I state nothing I am for it or dont care: Go through the above post and my opinons will be listed underneath each entry like so

Axia Euxines opinion : thats great!
