With my Prequel Trilogy more or less finished (although I will be doing to revisions for the DVD versions to improve their quality further), I've now started work on this edit. :)

Without going into too much detail into it yet, I will say that I am trying to see how possible it would be to make an entirely new ending to the film, which would essentially be a "10-20 Years Later" montage featuring the fates of the main characters:
- Leia is ruling her planet and people by herself
- Han Solo continues to get into trouble with Bounty Hunters (Chewie may or may not be with him)
- Luke is either the head of a new Jedi Order or alone as the last Jedi (possibly including the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and the "Shaw" Anakin)

Now, I should say that I am completely unsure as to whether or not this is even feasible; it would require an insane amount of rotoscoping/compositing and reworking of footage from numerous films. If this is not possible or I am not satisfied with the results, than I will just reinstate the original version of the Jedi ending for the fanedit's ending (with Sebastian Shaw as Anakin and without the planet celebrations of the Emperor's death)
