This will make the third thread I've posted this in, but the thought keeps coming into my head, and I will probably push for this till the release of ROTJ:R.  I really hope to see Victory-class Star Destroyers at the Battle of Endor.  I love their design.  I love the thought of the Empire having more than two classes of warships (Imperator-class and Executor-class).  I always hoped that we would see these guys in the prequels, but I was disappointed to learn that we'd be seeing the Venerators instead.  To me, seeing the Victories at Endor would be like seeing the AT-STs at Hoth: I would be equally, if not more excited!  There is nothing I want to see in this film more than that!

Also, I was reading about why Gary Kurtz left the team for ROTJ.  From what I can tell, he must have been an amazing producer, really hands-on and involved, while simultaneously letting the director be creative.  From what I read, he was unhappy with the change of direction George had in mind for Jedi, with a happier ending and less substance.  Now I personally really enjoy ROTJ.  But I agree that there could be more drama to it, and such would have been perhaps improved the film.  As Ady probably knows, I have my own thread full of ROTJ edit ideas from myself and so many others that are ripe for the taking.  But since that project may or may not ever be completed, I figure maybe these more modest thoughts will get more attention.

Perhaps the Save Lando and Kill Lando teams can be satisfied with a branching ending.  I think it would be interesting to see him die, while I know others want him to live.  I'm sure both could be accomplished fairly easily with Adywan's skills and a branching disc.

I still would push for a more bittersweet ending, roughly included in my signature.

What else could feasibly be included to make ROTJ more dramatic and less hippy/happy.
