wow, after reading all the interesting stuff here, I got some ideas and suggesstions:
Bingo, your idea to either put the Executor or another SSD in ANH - if it didn't take away the reveal shot in ESB, it would be a nice addition, so maybe - should it show up several times during ANH or just at the beginning (aka as Vaders ship) ?
I like the notion to replace "windows" which seem to be placed at odd spots with monitor screens or to change the setting to match the scene (escape pod)
the whole Deathstar update left a few questions:
- should it be over Coruscant ? maybe better to have that "Area 51" near Endor (and possible gas planet)
- show how the DS jumps to/fro Hyperspace
- nice idea with the "hiding" (nebular / asteroid field) ... not sure if we need to see only bits and pieces or always know it is the baddies station (maybe show its true size later - "look at the size of that thing!")
- inside could use some redecoration (I really like what Angel tried and did in some pictures => less red, more dark&gray)
not sure if some tubes or parts in the scene with Obi-Wan switching off the tractor beam aren't hidden in the shadow (need to rewatch that)
jumpcut to a curious idea: 3PO the carrier of the plans and R2 as his "bodyguard", hehe I like this on the level, as there are to be "spy droids" - only them knowing what they are doing *g*
indeed ANH needs more holograms, if possible and maybe Jabba is one of those scenes - on the other hand Han making a new deal at his palace would be nice too
I always had problem with the death of Lukes (foster)parents - how come that the Imperials shoot some jawas like it was an attack from Sandpeople, only burning the Lars homestead ?
the burnt skeletons are kind of creepy, maybe one could replace those with two covered bodies (or change the scene so that Luke is standing above them later)
Old Ben should scare the Tusken off with the classic Krayt dragon sound, but not with his arms waving - the suggestion of a shadow is cool, maybe leave the valley empty and Obi throws some rocks with the Force ?
Interesting as nobody thought of it, or found it not fitting: why not have a meditiation chamber for Vader on the DS ?
it would solve his brooding, long walks around - and he could search his feelings about the distubance that Old Ben caused
on that level, I don't think the "Vader knows Leia" idea works - not even Vader "sensing" Luke ...
as I was younger, my take on the Force was that it worked like in Highlander, where one was born as Immortal and all other knew that you are one too - the scene where Vader feels Kenobi, suggested this to me
later he senses Luke, but only when he uses his new found skills in the Force - Leia never had training, so Vader should not "feel" anything in her, maybe strong personas in the Star Wars universe have a high "Force level" by birth (and some like Luke/Vader" are stronger) - plus when one is trained, the practice of the skills feels like waves in the Force
as for "Padme" - good idea that she could have teached Ben/Yoda (and "Ani") how to become a Force ghost* - question remains who Leia called mother ?
possible sollution(s):
- "Padme" never died, the coffin was empty and all in the galaxy think she is dead (under Bail's protection she lived on Alderaan and raised her daugther)
plus the addition, that "Padme" is "Mon Mothma", the real leader ot the Alliance (this "reveal" could be either offscreen or in "Episode VI")
- she died long bevor ANH (therfore the ghost is possible) and Leia meant her foster mother (knowing or not, why she was sad ...)
*how did "Padme" learn this skill ? (she a Jedi too?)
I thought about Kenobi fight on the DS:
- he could do a "stunt" like Luke in Jabbas Palace, but he is a sneaky one so better not leave corpses ;-)
and blaster fire could trigger alarms too ...
the journey of the old hero through the maze, only to confront the "minotaur" (aka Vader) is a nice picture!
so should Ben fight or just hold off his ex-pupil until the others have escaped ?
the Kendo style is good, but I rather have a classic fecing duel - or leave it at mind games, we wait for the big one, only for Obi-Wan to raise his weapon to sacrafice himself ...
I think better position Vader before the blast doors, which are closed, later they are open for Luke/Ben to see the whole picture and escape the hangar
lastly I really wish the approach to Yavin IV that the Falcon takes is reduced to a minimum, it drags and brings the movie nearly to a stop.
Ok, that was all I could come up / remember, maybe got some more after I read other threads here ;-)

All mine are gone, I was getting an email every couple of days from youtube about copyright, so I eventually lost all mock-ups....damn the Blu-Rays
too bad you didn't put more stuff on vimeo, I read the ideas you and Angel threw into the pot, but couldn't see the outcome :-(
