This weekend i was pondering wether or not to start a few edit projects of my own...
I like TMBTM's War of the Stars! amongst other things i liked how all mention of Lukes father was cut out of it, for me it made the scene at Ben Kenobi's house go smoother and makes Luke a stronger character i think, i liked him more that he wasnt trying to become a Jedi because of his father.
soooo, i thought it would be cool to take out the whole family theme from empire and jedi too! - I think this would make the original films more like a serial in format (not better films just my edits of them) - so with this in mind, I would have the emperor removed from return of the jedi, and have him appear as a hologram instead (who doesnt get thrown down the shaft, that would just be silly!) - but with reduced dialogue. - Thus leaving the ending open for further episodes (obviously there won't be but that doesnt matter)
Not quite sure how im going to do it yet, or what im going to do about the emperor firing lightning at Luke, but Luke vs Vader duel would still be there - (tho reduced) it would make the ewok celebration at the end more of a celebration of the end of Vader instead of the sort of unbelievable, harsh, quick exit of the Imperials that the victory celebration implies. Leaving the Emperor quite safe (unfortunately for the Rebels!) on Coruscant.
Anyway, id start with empire first and see how that goes!
let me know what you think?
