Hmm...well this is just a suggestion, but after the Luke and Vader duel from Jedi, Vader could go with Luke to help him destroy the Death Star in an effort to undo what he helped the emperor to create. And since you're pretty much making this fan edit with little use of ROTJ, then maybe you could have Vader live at the end and join the Rebels.

Hmm, I like that. However, there wouldn't really be any aftermath shots so I think I'd rather have Vader die in the battle, but go out saving Luke perhaps. Heck, Vader coming in to help could even be a surprise to replace Han's surprise assistance since Han will be in the battle to start with.

It isn't really a matter of special edition or not since a lot of stuff would be cut out anyway. No Jabba subplot would equal no Jabba scenes, no dance number, no sarlacc pit, and no Greedo. The celebration around the galaxy ending would be rendered unnessisary as well since I would probably end it with the medal cerimony from A New Hope (probably Adywan's version so Chewie can get his medal). The only special edition elements I may use are the more dynamic ship shots from A New Hope.

I haven't started doing anything yet and if I did I think I might wait until the blu rays are released just so I'll have a more complete set of materials to work with. I would also probably need some assistance to create some of the new shots like the Falcon approaching Hoth since I don't really have any experience with After Effects.
