Holy smokes this is an enormous thread! The thought of backtracking through hundreds of pages to see if anyone has made the same suggestions as me is just way too daunting. So apologies all around if all of this has been mentioned before.

Tattooine:

Cut "Jedi Rocks" and restore "Lapti Nek"

Keep the new scene with Oola in the Rancor pit, it really heightens the suspense of what's down there seeing her reactions but not the Rancor.

No more Fett flirting.

Remove the Sarlacc beak and pig squeal. The Sarlacc is way scarier when it's this giant tooth filled maw leading god knows where.

Add sabre wounds to the guards Luke hits.

edit out some Salcious cackles.

Han Solo isn't funny, perhaps remove some of the lame attempts to make him funny during the Skiff battle "Boba Fett? Boba Fett? WHERE?!"

No belching after Boba is dispatched

Can Boba be saved possibly? Just a thought

Restore Han Solo's line "It's all right, trust me"

Ray_Afraid had a really stupendous idea for a new opening with Luke on Degobah building his sabre. If that's possible that would be a killer way to open the film.

Endor:

No slapstick. Han doesn't step on twigs, etc.

Ewoks. They're lame, please downplay them.

Could there possibly be implied more Ewok fatalities? I think scenes of Ewoks dying and Ewok corpses would really make the battle much more dramatic and desperate. The Ewoks seem to breeze through the battle mostly unscathed, which is ludicrous when they're up against energy weapons and explosives without the protection of any kind of armour.

Space Battle:

There's not much to say about the space battle, it's almost perfect. I might suggest having a ship or two not manage to pull up in time upon their arrival and show them crashing into the energy shield.

Finale:

No celebration on Coruscant. That was the seat of Imperial power. The people living there are not the oppressed masses of the rest of the galaxy. Not to mention that just because the Emperor is dead and the Death Star is destroyed doesn't mean that the Imperial Government has ceased to exist. It's going to take the rebels years to finally wrest power away from the Imperial government.

As much as I have a soft spot in my heart for the Yub Yub song, it's very silly and I think the new celebration music from the SE's is more fitting.Either that or Jefferson Starship ;)

Original Anakin ghost please, no young Anakin.

Also, can we insert Rip Torn tossing confetti at the Ewok celebration? ;)
