TheOdo your explaination is good but you did not answer how you will attempt to accomplish the "threat" with any scenes breakdown like pruposed changes so it would appear that the empire is spread thin across the galaxy.... Or How do you intend to show the oppression in the galaxy?

The "spread thin throughout the galaxy" line isn't mine, it's Mon Mothma's. If there's a problem with not seeing the oppression across the galaxy that this entails, it's a problem with the original film, not with my proposal.

As for the threat, I had thought of having Vader arrive at the Palace and head straight to the Emperor's throne room. He would talk with Palpatine - who would remain unseen on his throne, looking out his window at the landscape - and they would discuss the imminent threat of a Rebel attack.

The Emperor's confidence in the face of this would be enough to alert the audience that something is up and that the attack may not go smoothly. Vader would then exit the throne room and have his telepathic communication with Luke. We would then cut to Dagobah, where Luke has completed his training. The deleted saber building episode would be transplanted to the dark side cave on Dagobah, then we'd cut to Yoda's death.

How do you even plan to show the emporer as a dictator? I am referecing his arrival at the death star where pretty much all He and Vader does is talk about is Deathstar being completed and Luke?

For one thing, the exterior of the Palace would feature a statue of the Emperor, showing all the grandeur and egoism of a dictatorship. Much of the Death Star conversation would be moved to earlier in the film in an edited form. The "everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" moment is what would start the film. There's also his vantage point. The tower that contains his throne room would be situated on top of a massive Palace, which, along with the statues and other imagery on the exterior of the palace, suggests dictatorship perfectly well to me.

and then it's the same again you have not thought about it....Vader travels from Corusant To Endor to witness lukes pressence flys back to corusant to tell the emporer then goes back to endor to get luke to bring him back to corusant.... Sorry man I'd rather watch the original...

I'm not sure I understand.

Vader's jumping around from the command ship, to the Death Star and back again happens in the original film as well. That's no addition of mine. The only difference in my version is that he goes to the Palace's throne room, not the Death Star's throne room.
