The excuse Lucas gives for Hayden being the Force ghost is Anakin died when he became Vader which is silly because we see Anakin chat to Luke before he died but...he doesn't wear those robes when he died.

Maybe Bob or someone could make a Force ghost with Seb Shaw looking the way he did when Anakin died (wearing the Vader suit and covered in scars but smiling).

That would be ridiculous.

I did this mockup a long while back.

If this idea already popped up elsewhere, then all apologies. But how about this song playing as Admiral Ackbar and the Mon Calamari's theme music?

Have Anakin as shown in the pic that oh_riginal posted and have Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan with the Episode I or the CG Yoda. Then have Qui-Gon, Padme, a bunch of younglings and various assorted background Jedi show up. Oh, and Jar Jar of course. Then have Anakin ask, "Are you an angel" to the other force ghosts. Luke could also show up, causing the smile on the real Luke's face to disappear, and then the force ghost Luke could vanish again.

Then after Luke leaves with Leia, have a bunch of force ghost stormtroopers come shooting at everybody and the emperor zapping everyone with force lightning (you don't have to show everyone's reaction to this, it would work without it, but maybe have the force ghosts blink out as they're shot.

I don't know how much of this is doable, but do what you can I guess.

The Matrix Grindhouse edit on FE.org uses this joke, I don't want to repeat it.

Hahaha yeah, I was just joking, I know about the Matrix Grindhouse.

You should voice swap Chewie's voice for Ewok voices.

Replace Palpatine's laugh with Vincent Price's at the end of Thriller.

I know you want to keep these edits relatively child friendly but the Cock-knocker scenes from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back have some fun moments.

Unless you're worried about having acronym conflicts with the Lord of the Rings, you could call this "The Last of the Ridiculousness" since Luke is the last of the Jedi. Or you could call it "The Last Wookie" or something. Or "Ridiculousness of the Wookies" or "The End of Ridiculousness." Unless you're planning to ridiculize the ST.

Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but Luke should have great difficulty hitting the button that brings the door down. When he finally hits the button, it should do something else, and the gate should fall on its own when the guys on the outside open the door.

I sort of like TEoR.  But yeah, I might do the ST if I live that long.

Hopefully they won't mess with the acronyms when they name the movies...

I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but I've always found Wedge's "they're heading for the medical frigate!" line to be slightly comical.

You could insert this line in an absurd way in a number of inappropriate scenes.  First one I thought of was changing the line when they're inside the Death Star- "copy gold leader, I'm already on my way out" to "copy gold leader, I'm heading for the medical frigate" (or, "I'm already heading for the medical frigate").

Anyone remember different camera angles from ROTJ?

Or make it like "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" meme, give it a nice techno beat.

Just got an idea from something said in the Random Thoughs thread. The whole celebration montage at the end could include shots of Hoth and Dagobah. Just an empty panorama with the loud sound of crickets or wind.

"Weesa free!" cut off by blaster fire?

Tie fighters swooping in on the Coruscant crowd before cutting back to Endor?

Where were you in '77?

I like the crickets idea.  Maybe a Simpsons crow to echo TRM.

Seconding this notion.

Love the "Weesa free!" Gungan getting killed and I think it would be funny to show unimportant planets. It doesn't make sense that Tatooine would be celebrating (unless they're belatedly rejoicing over the death of Jabba), since the Empire hardly affected that planet, so maybe use the SE aerial shot of Mos Eisley when Luke and Ben fly into town (I think there's an aerial/semi-aerial shot there, but I could be wrong...) instead of the celebration scene--or use a desert shot with nothing in view. To make it clear what planets you are showing if you do something like that you could have the names of the planets pop up on screen, which would enable you to use non-Star Wars planets without confusing the audience. I think you would achieve a better effect if you eliminated the music for the celebration scene.

I think you should use shots of everyone going about their everyday business as much as possible, to show that no one really cares. USe planets from Star Trek and other sci-fi shows, and maybe throw in earth too.

^A shot of the debris of Alderaan could be included.

I love it. Also the idea of labeling the planets, or at least adding random planet establishing shots. John Carter of Mars, Vulcan, etc.

A shot of the Lars farm with the skelingtons wearing party hats would be fun.
