“This was made when the Special Editions where in post production. From 1996-1997, the emperor was meant to be changed, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. The emperor was finally changed in the 2004 DVD.”

Found in an deleted Demo Reel, by an unknown person.

Yes.

An awful edited video.

I’m curious for more information, if only for the comedy.

JohnOrty, this is an edit you made? for a fan edit?

I did not edit this, it was from an old Vimeo demo reel that is now privated.

I find that answer vague and unconvincing.

“Don’t tell anyone… but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories - let’s call them homages - and you’ve got a series.” - George Lucas
