A slightly different idea I had for the tauntaun:

2 more options:

- replace John Candy with Nute Gunray (maybe even "now there are two of them" would work here)
or
- replace him with Jimmy Hoffa (did Ford ever say the name?)

Quotes from Batman for Lando are great, but I think quotes from Brian's Song might be even better.  There could be a whole lot of attention to the fact that he's the only black man in the OT, and considering the theme of Brian's Song, you'd have a lot of lines to pull from.

Here is a small sample from IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068315/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

Another example, when he sees Han, "How you doin' you old pirate!  So good to see you!  How's your mother?"

You're right. This would be really great. :)

Didn't Billy record an album? I think it was called Let's Misbehave. He could burst into song every once in a while just to be told to stop it.

 

Edit to add:
Just thought about this scene: Han and Lando meet (The "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler."-scene) Have that really long awkward pause with crickets and all the thingmajigs, just to let Lando repeat the line. Maybe with some alternating reaction shots. Tension, tension everywhere!

I originally had the idea of using John Candy frozen in the back of the pickup to be inside the tauntaun, but that shot of him looking surprised made me laugh more, so I used that instead. An alternate idea would've been to use Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels frozen in Dumb and Dumber, with Jim Carrey's dialogue heard as Luke is inserted inside the tauntaun saying "your hands are freezing!"

How about when Lando moves forward to act like he's going to attack Han, instead of seeing the rest of that moment, we cut to Chewie and Leia, with a punching sound effect, to show that Lando was actually serious. THEN he starts laughing and we cut back to the original scene.

Here's a few ideas for Lando TooCoolToHandle:

His line at 0:12 could be used when Han arrives to Cloud City.

This line could also be used just before the reveal of Darth Vader in Cloud City.

It would be great if the whole Hoth sequence was rescored with Chrismas tunes as if that's why it's been snowing and not because it's an ice panet.

It could be piped in on the Hoth-Base intercom (Like you hear in shops) and heard over the cockpit radios in the battle.

Lando really hitting Han could work as well. In combination with Chewie and Leia not really caring about it, this could be really funny. Han could feature a black eye after that.

There could be a punch heard offscreen, followed by Leia saying "yes, very friendly."

I imagine the black eye might be hard to do, but if it were possible, it would be funny to have it last up until Han says "I think my eyes are getting better" in ROTJ, lol.

"Your Taun Taun will freeze to death before you reach the first marker!"

"Then I'll see you in HECK!"

I am not sure where this would fit:

James Earl Jones' performance in Comin to America is comedy gold. There was also a funny video on youtube where someone dubbed the quotes from Coming to America onto A New Hope.

Possible Vader Dialogue:

• Believe me. I tied my own shoes once. It is an overrated experience.
• Time does fly fast, my son. It seems only yesterday I ordered your first diaper changed. Now you're a man about to be married.
• I am looking for my son Luke.
• Admiral Piett, you have disgraced yourself, and you must be punished. Confine yourself to our royal suite at the Waldorf-Astoria.

 

Watched Coming to America yesterday It's like the writers deliberately wrote lines for JEJ to sound like Star Wars. Frink could probably cut every line into the ridiculous OT

or "Then I'll see you in a museum!"

I wouldn't revoice a main character. It would be really hard to find another character from something else that would fit in.

*lightning*

Maybe Shatner? That would be A LOT of content, but spread out over A LOT of episodes.

Not mine, but thought it had some good moments. Only problem is I wouldn't know where to get the sources for the JEJ audio.

As far as I'm concerned Vader should always come on to 'Walk On By' by Isaac Hayes (3.20 in the clip^). One of the most awesome pieces of music ever...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXlUNuBYGgU

I never get tired of watching that 'Vader Sessions' clip. Favourite bit is when Vader says...

"I quit on you when you cleared outta Dee-troit with Willie the Pimp"

Most of the dialogue is from...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaatLmePZBc

^ skip to about 10-13 minutes in to hear alot of it (Damn JEJ is amazing in it)

Some of the dialogue is taken from the notorious film 'Soul Man'...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_n1IuJYWko

This clip shouldn't be funny...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-moX6XKeVcQ

^ I'm sure everyone involved meant well.

JEJ from 'Coming To America' dubbed over JEJ from 'The Lion King'...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cR2y2sxlmg

^ Nice showcase of some of the great dialogue that could be used like...

"I am more than the exhalted ruler of this land" (Force chokes Motti)

At the end of the Bespin duel when Luke is cornered, he could look down and back up at Vader... then back down.... and back up over and over again, until finally the disembodied voice of Obi-Wan (taken from ANH) tells him "Let go!"

If you do go with this idea (which is an excellent one, BTW), I would highly recommend It's Christmas at Ground Zero once the Imperial attack begins.

If the Spock cameo tradition continues, then Spock in the ice cave from the 2009 film could be intercut with Luke hanging upside down. He could be observing Luke but not bothering to lend a hand.
