Not just in Star Wars films, every instance

To the celebration scene at the end of RotJ, add freeze frames of each of the main characters, with a text description of what happened to them after the events of the movie, like in Animal House.

You could do 3 versions. A canon version, a Legends version, and a jokey version.

El cine puertorriqueño también es para adultos. Todo va bien.

Digitally replace all of the Ewoks with copies of Freddy Fazbear.

But we can’t turn back. Fear is their greatest defense. I doubt if the actual security there is any greater than it was on Aquilae or Sullust. And what there is is most likely directed towards a large-scale assault.

Have Obi-Wan kill Vader at the end of their duel in Kenobi. Then have the rest of the episode play out in full, but include a text card just before the credits roll saying this:

Through intense spiritual training with the ghost of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan was able to master the Force. He traveled to the Imperial capital on Coruscant and slaughtered his way into the Senate chamber, killing the Emperor in front of the entire Senate. After seeing this, the Senate immediately declared Obi-Wan the new emperor, and he proceeded to bring peace and justice to the galaxy through his benevolent rule.

Kenobi is now the final installment of the Star Wars saga.

Rotoscope Boba Fett over Cara Dune in all shots of the Mandalorian season 2 finale. I’m only half joking.

I like you, let us burn things together.

All Darth Vader dialogue is now sourced exclusively from Marty McFly in his Darth Vader disguise. It only leaves like three lines, so these are interspersed as best they match the situation.

EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, I’m pretty sure there’s a deleted scene with a handful more lines, so that should help some.

My stance on revising fan edits.

You are correct!

I have altered Lucas’ visions. Pray I don’t alter them any further.

When Han is frozen in carbonite in ESB, Lando tells Vader he has died. Vader then tells Fett he’ll compensate him if he’ll remove the body. Later when Lando tells them about the east platform, he says there’s still a chance to save “Han’s body.”

In the crawl for ROTJ, we learn that Han’s goofy identical twin has joined up with the rebels. We also learn that he is temporarily blinded due to a medical condition that flairs up now and again. They still try to infiltrate Jabba’s palace to retrieve the body, Han’s brother with them. But he ends up being more of a hindrance than anything. The group get caught and sent to be executed without having gotten Han’s body. Oh, well.

I’m torn between liking this one and hating it: In the flashbacks of TLJ, Luke isn’t shown trying to kill Ben with a lightsaber, instead he appears to be trying to smother Ben with a pillow. Luke then explains he had a vision of Ben hiding some forbidden artifact under his pillow so he went to investigate and that’s why he was holding the pillow (there was no artifact, it’s implied the vision was sent to him by Palpatine).

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Am I making Carrie Fisher’s ghost proud?”
Well, are ya, punk?

Use shots of the hand in a jar from Doctor Who to depict Luke’s hand on Exegol in Episode 9.

In order to update Star Wars for the modern era of multilingualism and global communication, have every line of dialogue be spoken three times: once in English, once in Spanish, and once in French. Add German, Italian, and Japanese subtitles to the bottom of the screen for maximum linguistic accommodation.

The flip shots of R2 in the saga are not actually flip shots. They are filmed using R2’s illusive twin brother L2.

Mash up all the scenes of Rey training in TLJ into a “cheesy 80s action movie” style training montage, complete with an original synth-rock song about believing in yourself and becoming a champion. In order to fit the montage with the rest of the movie, rescore the entire soundtrack with more cheesy synth-rock.

Well now I want the whole saga with a cheesy 80’s synth rock soundtrack.

Have in-world host segments at random intervals throughout the series, a la MST3K.

Also, have it hosted by a random side character that maybe appears for 10 sec. in one movie.

I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.

In addition to the Wilhelm scream, have the Spongebob Squarepants “My Leg” scream play in the background of every movie.

Alter the dialogue when Luke confronts Vader in ROTJ, in order to increase continuity with ROTS:

LUKE:
Come with me, father. I know there is good in you, let go of your hate!

Vader pauses. He’s heard those words before, but from where? Then, he remembers.

VADER:
Joe once thought as you do.

LUKE:
Wait… who’s Joe?

VADER:
Joe MAMA! OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Vader continues “oooooohhhhh”-ing for the rest of the scene, as Luke walks into the elevator shaft, a look of disappointment on his face.
