Here's one suggestion he's got I concur with:

Stormtrooper accuracy

Why: The stormtroopers throughout the movie prove to be extremely inaccurate when shooting, which seems strange as they have the best weaponry and training the galaxy has to offer.

How: Include a shot where a stormtrooper hits Chewbacca, but not causing any injury because of the Wookiee natural physical strength. Have Chewie look down on his wound – his arm or lower torso or something – and give a growl, followed by him shooting the stormtrooper that hit him.

Why not have the Stormtrooper hit 3P0 and ricochet into the right wall, with Chewy turning around and hitting the Stormtrooper?  Even a little bit of accuracy would heighten the tension.

The Stormtroopers inaccuracy never bothered me too much since I knew, even as a child that they had to miss simply because they were the bad guys and the good ones would win and wouldn't get shot by some random Stormtrooper.

--- Same with the escape pod in IV. Had they shot it, the movie would have ended right there...not good LOL. Was it Family Guy that commented on that? Charging by the laser or something to that extent. ---

I just accepted it as part of the whole fantasy. Now, if it were to be changed, I think it would also have to be changed in ANH and ROTJ. It's good that at least one of them got Leia on Endor, but shouldn't they kill more Ewoks by direct blaster fire? Not just run around like headless chickens and let the AT-STs do all the job? Were they really that useless? They were weren't they? heh

ANH is a major problem here because there is no one to aim at except for the main characters, so that one can't be changed. Pretty much the same with ESB unfortunately. Had Lobot or coffe maker guy or whoever been running along with Lando Leia, the carpet and robots then they would be a good kill during the escape.

Since something like that can't be done, I would leave it as is.
