being on the Death Star since if the Rebel fleet was unexpectedly successful quickly, Luke could be blown to bits! Furthermore, I'm pleased that you're doing color correction since Vader's saber looked godawful in the 2004 DVDs. Are you deleting the Jabba music number with Jedi Rocks?

is your AOTC edit or V1 (with no ewoks whatsoever) of the ROTJ edit still online somewhere? If so, can you please PM me the links?

Yeah, the biggest change is probably moving Luke off of the Death Star. Being there makes his story totally meaningless. Think about it, Luke has no effect on whether the rebels are successful, so theoretically they would have succeeded at blowing it up no matter what. So if Luke turned to the dark side, died, or never even showed up the ending would've been the same: The Emperor and Vader are dead, and the Rebellion wins. I don't know about you, but I like my main characters to be involved in the plot. See Indiana Jones 4 for a similar problem.

My AOTC edit and my ROTJ version 2 are on fanedit.info, so you can get the links there. I don't know if you can get version 1 anymore. It wasn't very good honestly, more of an interesting experiment than a good movie. It just didn't really work, removing all of the Ewoks. Also it wasn't very strong technically.
