Inspired by the ideas people have been circulating around here - particularly Possessed's ROTJ thread - I've started an experimental version of ROTJ, which includes the following two significant changes:

- Luke on Dagobah at the start.

- Luke and Leia are no longer related.

So I've put together a rough cut edit of the first few minutes:

Bear in mind a few things: I can't professionally replicate the opening crawl (if someone who can would be willing, I'd be massively grateful); the crawl itself also needs to be re-written at some point; the editing is not especially slick yet, but hopefully you'll get the gist.

Personally I really like this a lot: it means a lot of the early droid stuff can be ditched as well as the long (and dull) Obi-Wan scene, and the jumping around the galaxy makes the Jabba's palace sections feel more mysterious.

Any feedback would be appreciated. :)
