Yeah, I know. But if you think about it, some of those changes (Lando dying when the Death Star explodes; Leia is NOT Luke's sister) might actually be possible through some clever editing of the existing footage. (Hey when you think about it - no one even tells Luke who his sister is. He just guesses "Leia" and could've been dead wrong, but Obi-Wan decides to let him run with that silly idea!)
I suppose if I was adding fantasy changes, I would also like to see Boba Fett survive his fall into the Sarlacc, and - while continuing to work with the Empire - shows up on Endor (or Kayshhk
) where Han and Fett duel it out for one last time. It would've also been nice if perhaps a little dialogue revealed some sort of back story as to why Fett was somewhat "obsessed" with Solo. (After all - they had to have some past history together as only Solo and Chewbacca called him "Boba Fett," but everyone else knew him as "bounty hunter." Yeah, I know - their first encounter was revealed in the Star Wars Holiday Special, and then they met a second time in the deleted Jabba scene from Episode IV just like Lucas always intended!)Quote

Yeah, good point. I forgot about this. Yoda - the great Jedi Master of the entire Star Wars series - doesn't really get fair treatment in ROTJ. It's just a death scene with nothing to prepare the audience that he was even dying! I also have trouble comprehending how Anakin's apprenticeship with Obi-Wan lasted over a decade, but somehow Luke seems to become a Jedi after a crash course, and without even having his master around to complete his training. (How DID he become such a cool, confident "Jedi" at the beginning of ROTJ without the benefit of Yoda? Is this explained perhaps in "Shadows of the Empire"?)
