"Those ideas sound good Dan. You can probably find someone to help you in making a new crawl. Have you ever thought of a new opening crawl that has the title Revenge of the Jedi? Also, I thought of something. Could you take out all the Ewoks (seriously..I saw this done in a few edits) and replace them with Wookies? You could explain in a new crawl that the Death Star is located near the Wookie planet, then use Wookie footage from the Holiday Special and Revenge of the Sith. If these ideas are crazy and have been discussed before, I apologize."


I'm not gonna change the title to Revenge of the Jedi; it's rare to find something I agree with Lucas on, but I don't think Jedi should see defeating the Empire as revenge.

I hope you're right that someone will volunteer to write the crawl for me. :)

I'm not taking the Ewoks out; in my opinion it would be impossible to make it work - and the edits I know of which tried didn't seem to pull it off; the narrative would suddenly have huge holes in it with all that stuff missing.

As for the Wookiee planet being situated near the Death Star - it's an interesting idea, but it would take someone with far more talent at editing than me to pull it off successfully - and anyway, I don't dislike the Ewoks too much in my edit, the most glaring infantile stuff is gone.
