Episode VI: Return of the Ridiculousness — Page 9

This could be done in an almost Lynchian style.

Have close ups Han in Carbonite and use sound clips of Harrison Ford saying things to the Rancor and then close ups of the Rancor in his pit thinking about what Han is saying.

One of the positive things about Carbonite is no lip-sync woes.

If the humour level you were aiming for was "utterly childish", I'm sure you could change it to "The Wancor" x-D

Maybe you could change threepio's "Oh no. The Rancor!" line to "Oh no. Not the bees!" Voicing OT Threepio with Sir Nicolas of Cage wouldn't be a bad idea.

Cardinal Fang turning up in the palace saying, "NOT THE COMFY CHAIR!" might work.

In a similar vein, Jabba should be stoned out of his mind most of the time, (maybe one shot from Jabba's perspective showing the hallucinatory effects of smoking frogs?) and actually enjoy Leia throttling him. ;)

every single time someone says jabba's name. have them always refer to him as "his majasty the illustrious jabba the hutt"

Abba the Hutt?

That would be easy to pull off, right Frink? Everyone that says Jabba, also says Abba too.

Then Max Reebo could play 'Dancing Queen'. In fact, Abba's palace could be a Swedish discothèque. They also play a medley of Abba's greatest hits on the sail barge.

Since I don't think it was brought up here and I'd hate to lose it...

You can probably use more Flash Gordon when you get to Jedi, as several characters refer to Ming as The Emperor.

Since we're at it, if there's no concern about contradicting the new movies, there's an idea I gave to someone several years back for their ROTJ edit that probably was never used, as they vanished from the site.

If you wanted to end with Palpatine waking up in a clone body, (ala the Dark Empire comic) footage from the Judge Dredd movie, (the Stallone one) would be ideal.

^ Nice thinking.

Assuming you want to redub Ackbar with him freaking out, being scared and admitting defeat at the drop of a hat? (Ackbar turned up to 11 basically). What voices could you do that with? One I'd suggest would be Hudson from Aliens...

Lando: "Break off the attack. The shield is still up" etc etc
Flight crew: "Admiral, we have enemy ships in Sector 47"
Ackbar: "Well, that's great. That's just f***in' great, man. Now what the f**k are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty s**t now, man!"

Combine that with Bill Paxton crying and wetting himself from 'True Lies' and you'd have something

You need to make Yoda act like a muppet. Being him dubbed by Oz means you can use Fozzie's lines as you wish!

Also, since I saw ROTJ the first time, I always pictured Yoda's last words like this:

Luke... remember to switch off the lights....

Luke... don't forget to shut the windows, or you'll get a cold...!

Luke... make sure to turn off gas...

(Luke goes away)

Luke... Luke, come here...

If you want to do it, you'll definitely need to find Fozzie's dialogues. You can find something in line in the movie "Muppets from Space":

Fozzie the Bear:"Of course I did. Mom said, always wash your hands."
Kermit the Frog:"Yes, but not when you're wearing invisibility spray!"
Fozzie the Bear:"Mom said, no exceptions."

So you could make "Luke..." + "always wash your hands.", or something.

====

Make Yoda annoying, constantly complaining about everything until the end of the movie: "(He's) too old!", "Rest I need" and so on!

====

Make Han make more troubles: he is spotted stepping on a root, right? Well, make him so that he's also the one who triggers the ewoks' trap:

Han: (whatever line)

Luke: No, wait!

(the trap is triggered)

Chewie: Graargh!

Han: It's not my fault! (ESB)

You could also make him more jealous of Luke, and so paranoid when they need to pass the emperial blockade that he wants to run away!

Spoiler alert: I've already assigned new voices to Chewbacca and Yoda in Ep III.  Check out the clips in that thread if you want to know who says what.

For some reason I'm imagining Jabba's band playing the first half of "Rose's Turn" from 'Gypsy'.

Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.

Another potential WRONG FILM! gag could be with the reused shot of the two guys shielding their eyes from the Death Star blast.

It could cut back to the Alderaan being destroyed and then the caption.

Another thing to file away for future use. The 1978 SW knockoff, Message From Space has a final battle that is amazingly like the Death Star run in ROTJ. I almost believe George saw it, and showed it to his ILM guys.

So, it might be funny to recut the entire final attack with shots from MFS. It's a bit easier to find on DVD now than when I got a copy a few years back.

Luke’s “Force kick” should be in slow motion, with a “slow-motion yell” coming from Fett as he swims by.
