Conan is on my short list of JEJ possibilities.

I've probably suggested this before, but when Lando announces the Empire has taken over and everyone should split, cut to random scenes of panic and/or looting. The evacuation scene in Spaceballs could work here.

And when this beloved character appears...

Someone off screen should yell "Ice Cream Man!"

Also, I found this when I picked up the latest MST3K volume today.

Carrie Fisher is in the fourth movie of the set.

I'll report back when I've actually watched it. :)

Where were you in '77?

Carrie must have had a good agent in the 80's. Her character gets injured early on, spends half the movie healing up, and recovers in time to sacrifice herself at the end for no adequately explored reason. And she's only in the metal brassiere for a few scant minutes. Why couldn't she have been the one in the topless swimming scene, dammit!

At least Carrie got a Australian vacation out of this turkey.

What's in store for the "I am you father" revelation? Perhaps Darth Vader could have an identity crisis, and reveal himself as "mother", "sister", "the Emperor", or "Obi-Wan" at various points in the trilogy.

Or he could confess that he killed Obi-Wan, with Luke being under the impression that his father had killed Obi-Wan.

EDIT: I just realized that this doesn't work nearly as well if Obi-Wan doesn't actually die onscreen at the hand of Darth Vader. I don't suppose there's a way they could leave him behind, then go back to get him before the Battle of Yavin, only to witness his death?

And sorry for not keeping my ideas in the appropriate threads. :P

 Hadn't thought this far ahead yet.

Also note my edit. I imagine, though, that you might want to make your version of it some sort of big reveal itself?

I've said before The Bumble could take the place of the Wampa. ;)

Maybe General Veers' walker takes out Santa's workshop instead of the generator? There's that scene in Scrooged...

Perhaps Obi-Wan's ghost could be really wordy? He could explain what the force is every time he tells Luke to use it, which should be far more frequently than he does now.

But when he appears on Hoth, he simply says "Run, Luke, run!" and disappears.

 Obi Wan should say "run, Luke, run!" every single time Luke runs in all the films:

• Luke fleeing the cave

• Luke running to his speeder for the AT-AT battle

• Luke chasing the AT-AT to toss the grenade in it

• Luke running to check on R2 after he gets spit out by the swamp monster

• Luke running through the swamp with Yoda on his back... with a possibility of having Yoda annoyed by Obi Wan and saying something back

• Luke running while sneaking around Cloud City, just before Boba Fett shoots at him

• When Vader makes Luke drop his lightsaber Obi Wan could yell it out, and again after Vader tosses debris at him

• Obi Wan could try telling Luke to run after Vader says "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father..." so that it seems like Obi Wan is trying to hurry Luke to jumping. Then when Luke asks why didn't he tell him, Obi Wan could say something like "Obi Wan don't seem to remember your father. Stay here. Luke's destiny lies on a different path from Obi Wan's."

Of course, these examples are just for ESB. The "run, Luke, run" could be an ongoing gag.

When the Millennium falcon jumps to lightspeed at the end:

VADER stares out the window. He turns away, uttering under his breath, "No." He glances back out the window. As he turns again to walk away, he lets out a bellowing "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOO!"

This would serve to dissolve all tension in this scene, even more so than the scene where this actually happened.

Hoth being an ice-planet has lots of mashablity with Star Trek 6 and with Star Trek 2009.

You might even be able to mash in some of John Carpenter's The Thing, it's prequel and the first Alien vs Predator film.

That's 2 Kirks, an alien Queen, a Wampa and a mad Norwegian in a helicopter making for one hell of a day for poor Luke.

Oh what the hell throw in James Bond and a Union Jack parachute if you like :-D

During the Hoth battle, just before the generator is destroyed by General Veers, he says "TARGET! Maximum firepower!"

When he yells target, we could see a Target store outside the window, with the shield generator on its roof.

 I like the idea of including some Star Trek 2009.  And of course the Monsters Inc. Abominable Snowman.

 Someone would need to do this for me, but I'd absolutely use it.

PM me nearer the time and I'll do it.

Not sure if this was ever mentioned before, but it might be fun to have Yoda talk with other Frank Oz voices, such as Miss Piggy, Grover, Fozzy, Bert, Animal, and others.  Miss Piggy in particular could be a lot of fun.  I haven't watched it in a while, but the Muppet Show episode advertising for Empire might have great Piggy lines, even possibly including Luke's name.

Starlog once ran a cartoon with a similar gag not long after ROTJ came out. Luke hugged Yoda in his grief, and pulled the puppet right off the hand. ;)

Yoda could also randomly speak in Miss Piggy's or Grover's voice as he expires?

 darth_ender said:

^This is a fantastic idea!  Could be used in Empire as well.  You could have Yoda sing "Fuzzy and Blue" or when going through Luke's items when they first meet, he could toss out stuff saying in Miss Piggy's voice, "Underwear, underwear, underwear..."

As I've now set up in ROTR, Chewie will have Fozzie's voice.  I can also see doing some Grover for Yoda since it's basically the same voice.

It would be neat to splice in Uhura "Meet you at the rendezvous..." dialogue from Star Trek III into the "Meet you at the rendezvous" dialogue bit from the end of ESB.

 ...and Rizzo The Rat for Salacious Crumb right?

 This will probably come in handy.
