For people who have seen Dark Knight Rises, has seeing the film inspired any radical ideas for an awesome unlikely ROTJ?
I floated the idea a while back about having it set much later:
The Empire now on the backfoot, and the alliance is a formidable opponent.
The kickstarter for the plot would be when the civilian population manage to miraculously overthrow the ruling powers on Coruscant temporarily, giving the rebels a reluctant foothold there. Literally every rebel personel is required to just hold off the constant imperial attacks.
They find the plans for the death star 2 on coruscant, as well as the location of the emperor who fled the capital in time. A small force is sent to attack it, etc. The additional twist would be that the Emperor intended for Coruscant to be overthrown so all the rebel eggs would be in one big basket for him to come and blow up (its a BIG trap!).
I was trying to figure out a subplot that would drag the droid army into it. There would need to be bunch load of extra footage and characters created (various rebel troops and generals etc).
I like the idea that Luke might have just gone missing straight away after ESB, and would have been on dagobah for years. If there was a beard filter on after effects I'd use that too.
