It would, in all likelihood, never replace the original OT as standard viewing for me, but it would be a very intriguing alternative look at the saga. To this end, I'm very intrigued by Asteroid-Man's "Renascent" edits.

That's exactly why I made "Vader's Redemption." As an alternative look at the saga as well as an experiment in film editing. I perfer ROTJ just the way it is too. I just assumed that by the title of this forum, "ESB and ROTJ Wishlist," we would all be allowed to express what we would put in if we were making fan edits.

I saw that edit and I think it works in context of viewing the films as a saga. Perfect for a "saga edition". But I wouldn't want to watch it that way all the time. Some times it's nice to just sit back and watch the OT and Luke's adventure. None of this "The story of Star Wars is the tragedy of Darth Vader".

But your edit was good and would work in a larger context.

It's akin to adding the Jappor snippet necklace Anakin made for Padme into the end of ROTJ.

On it's own it's a "WTF?" moment, but intergrated into a "saga edit", it would work.
