Preserve the secret that Vader is Luke's father in the PT.
What's that? People think that's a good idea. Wow.

Can't stop laughing

Hugo Drax?
- Bail Organa, Jar Jar and Bail's wife's corpses flying out into space at the moment of the explosion.
- Darth Vader interrupting "NO" after each officer's suggestions during the Death Star conference scene.
- Luke and Leia kissing before Leia learns he's his brother at the Ewok Village (eew). :p
- ET makes a cameo during the Rebel Briefing Scene on ROTJ.
- Darth Vader says "Yippee!"
- Other Jedi Force Ghosts appear around Luke during the Endor celebrations. Just blurs from Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Ahsoka Tano and Shaak Ti etc dancing around with the Ewoks. Mace Windu does a Spinerooni! :D
- Captain Rex comes out of nowhere to shoot down a few Stormtroopers eventually getting a little reluctant assistance from then-Commander Cody! :p
- Asajj Ventress to Obi-Wan (tracks him down on Tattooine): "I'm carrying your baby." - okay that was lame!!!
“Did you know, the word ‘gullible’ is not in the dictionary?! Look it up.”
Not gonna lie, I legitimately like the ET idea.
Reading through the last couple pages of this thread makes me think somebody should collect all of these ideas and make a rifftrax type of thing like mst3k which could be muxed into any of the newer releases. Maybe it's already been done?
My idea is to totally disregard that the prequels exist but use footage from them in the OT as a type of "highlander" flashback sequence that would somehow be relevant to the "present day" scene it corresponds with.
EDIT: Every time after Vader force chokes someone he says, "I'm what Willis was talking about."
Luke threw twice…maybe.

It was bad enough in TPM, we don't need it in the OT as well.
Maybe the kid in the Yoda outfit in E.T. could be replaced with the CGI Yoda from the PT to balance it all out.
He came to Earth in the future to hide from Palpatine and Luke could go to the 1980's L.A. suburbs to get training.

That's the thing, though. I liked ET in TPM.
I just want to see Mark Hamill beat up the Karate Kid.

Not gonna lie... If my sister was Carrie Fisher circa 1983... I'd hit that ;)
Newbie here. I'm sure others have already thought of this a million times before, so please tell me if this is the case.
I once had a whacky idea to do an edit of The Holiday Special. I have always felt that with a lot of editing the special could be made fast-paced and at least watchable. It would have to be cut back to an hour or maybe only half an hour. The most important thing would be to edit out ALL of the special guest appearances, dancing and singing. Every scene that diverges from the plot needs to be removed. Every scene that does manage to stick to the plot needs editing back. Most are unnecessarily long and boring beyond belief.
The tricky thing would be knowing what to do with the first 10 minutes. The idea of wookies living in 70s suburbia just ain't right! Ten minutes of growling at one another is another thing that just ain't right! And why do they live in trees?? Leave that to light-footed Ewoks I say! Wookies are big, heavy and a bit clumsy. What are they doing up in the tops of trees??? Are they afraid of some ground-dwelling predators?? Clearly they should be unafraid, so live on the ground in some kind of rough dwellings and be war-like and tribal.
Then there is knowing what to do with that scene at the end where the wookies walk into that big glowing ball thing wearing robes. Where would anyone begin to fix that scene?? Then there is the awful acting which even careful editing would be unable to cover up.
I do think the special could at least be made watchable with a lot of editing. It may not seem so strange either if it stuck to the plot. It would of course still retain much of its original corniness. Not much can be done about that!
I'd be interested to know if any such edits already exist.
It might be a giggle to try and replace all that boring stuff with Lars Von Skywalker with Chewie and the Wookies.
Great idea! I was thinking of trying to make it more serious, but that may be about as "easy" as turning Die Hard IV into a broadway musical. lol!
I am sure the HS could at least be made watchable.
Perhaps lunacy will get the better of me one day and I'll begin such an edit! BE WARNED THOUGH, THE FINISHED PRODUCT MAY BE EVEN MORE CORNY THAN THE ORIGINAL!

Relevant part starts at 1:50.
The opening battle of ROTS is between human pilots and robots in fighters or as fighters.
So add old style Galactica into the mix.
The theatrical release would probably be better for the aspect ratio but the ships, the pilots, the freakin Cylons!
Here's a fun idea. How about in ESB when they are in the carbonite chamber. Chewie begins to fight with 3P0 on his back. How about we cut in a quick close up of Vader's face, and cut to a slow mo close up of 3P0. Then cut back to the next shot of Boba Fett preparing to shoot. But make it slow motion and cut in a slowed down version of NOOOOOOOOO. Clearly the scene is about Vader wanting to save the droid he built from being shot by Boba Fett, but this way it will be more obvious.
lol
Ditto. LOL :)
Redubbing Grievous so he sounds like the B9 robot from Lost In Space could be fun.
In keeping with the broad vocal caricatures of the prequels, the Jawa selling the droids to Lars and Luke should be redubbed by Joe Pesci in full Goodfellas mode.
Edit the Holiday Special, The Ewok films and THX-1138 The Director's Cut together to make another prequel about how Lobot escaped from Coruscant to be with Lando for Life Day.
