Yeah, I don't think Lando should die in the final battle, I think Han should, Lando should die during the Sarlacc sequence. My idea (that just came to me) is this: They plant the explosives in the shield generator but they don't go off. If they don't blow up the shield, the fleet would be destroyed and everyone would die, so Han sacrifices himself and detonates the bomb manually. This could coincide with Luke hiding in the shadows refusing to fight Vader, and Luke could feel Han dying and it could be the trigger that makes him go after Vader, thus eliminating the need for Vader to talk about Luke's sister and thus enabling the removal of the whole stupid sister subplot.

But I understand it's probably pretty late now and it would also be hard to pull off (though not impossible).

I'd quite like to see this though I have to admit I thought it would be impossible without reshooting scenes.  I'm curious, how would you suggest pulling it off?

A thought on Jabba's palace.  Jabba's throne room is pretty gross for a throne room.  Sure, he is a Hutt, but I'd imagine his throne room looking more like a brothel or a boudoir.  In the movie, it looks more like a honky-tonk country/western bar.  

Personally I think it would be massively improved by making it more like a brothel or boudoir, though I have no idea how it would be done.

Why not have that being built and blown up instead of another ball like the first film?

Agreed.  I've always wanted the Death Star in Episode 4 to be the incompleted one and then for the Death Star in Episode 6 to be changed to anything other than a Death Star. 

I know a lot of voting has already been done and the majority of the really out there ideas have been voted down, but if someone were doing a more radical edit I think these would all be brilliant changes to make.
