I imagine this has been discussed before, but I haven’t read this first 143 pages of this thread. Sorry.

It seems to me that Revisiting ROTJ (or the prequels) is fundamentally a very different problem than Revisiting ANH or TESB.

ANH and TESB are pretty solid from a creative point of view. Of the few really bad creative decisions that were made in those two episodes (Greedo firing first, etc.), most were introduced in the SEs, and can be corrected by making the film more faithful to the original versions.

ROTJ is a different kettle of fish. There were a lot of bad creative decisions when the film was first made in 1982-83. Compounding these problems are continuity problems introduced by the prequels. Correcting these issues poses a very different kind of challenge than Adywan has faced with ANH and TESB; in many cases, I don’t know whether it would even be possible to correct them.

So my question: how is Adywan planning to approach ROTJ? Is he going to take a similar approach to ANH and TESB, in which most of his work consists of correcting technical errors, improving special effects, and reversing bad decisions introduced in the SEs? Or will he take an aggressive approach to address PT continuity issues and bad creative decisions in the original film?

I could list a bunch of plot and dialog issues that bother me, and in some cases suggest ways to improve them, but I don’t know whether Adywan’s looking for that kind of input.
