wow, brilliant ideas! i love the idea of the hyperspace ending. the tricky thing for ROTJ now is that it is under alot of pressure to conclude a 6 film saga now, whereas originally it was suited for a trilogy.

i have mentioned this a few times before, but i still think it wouldnt be too intrusive to the plot. if/when ady (or anyone else) decides to work on ROTJ and the PT, it would be good to think of any edits to make for ROTJ that can be linked to the PT. i think the whole JABBA affair at the beginning of the film, can be used more symbolically if JABBA is made a villain in the PT. rusty battledroids could stalk the Palace's corridors, and the eventual death of JABBA would be like closing off the last few loose ties of the Skywalker past.

i love the idea of bearded luke, if only there was a 'beard' filter on final cut.;)
