RotJ:
Luke arrives to Vader unarmed, takes Vader’s saber to attack Sheev, Vader defends with Obi-Wan’s lightsaber.
End on Luke burning Vader’s body
Why shouldn’t Luke attack with Obi Wan’s blade?
After all, Obi wan and Yoda ask him to fight Vader and Luke dropping the saber would conclude this conflict well.On the other hand: what would be the motivation for Vader to fight with the very weapon that made him the machine he is?
Is it him holding on to the though of himself as irredeemable?It’s because the teaser poster was really cool, and people want to make recreations of that.
Also having the hero wield a red saber and the villain blue is a good subversion of expectations.

It has been my observation that most pro SE people who support the suppression or the original cuts are ignorant about film and video tech in general. A lot of people don’t seem to understand what “HD” or “4K” even really mean and act as if they are some sort of application that you apply to old films to make them look better.
I literally got into an argument with someone in the comments for an upload of a Star Trek Generations deleted scene on YouTube that was from a barely watchable multi generational VHS copy of a workprint, which was then uploaded to YouTube in sub SD quality. This person seemed to think that movies come out of the camera in this kind of dog shit lo-rez VHS quality and that they use some kind of magic “upscaler” to make films look the way they do when they are released.
If only that were possible. To make those shot-on-video TV shows like Doctor Who or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air look like film would be a godsend for me.

A project I’ve long wanted to tackle is a reimagining of Friday the 13th. As a teen, I was a big fan of the series, particularly of the first five entries. As I grew older, I came to realize the series … wasn’t good. The original is very likely the best, and it’s still only a cynical cash-grab designed to capitalize off the success of Halloween. Still, I believe the bones of a good horror story are present beneath the putrid fat.
My reimagining of F13 would be a pentalogy, a period piece spanning the '80s. Right from the start, Jason Voorhees would be established as a supernatural being, having drowned as a child in 1957 then returned to life a year later, corrupted into a psychopathic killing machine with enhanced strength and regenerative capabilities by a dark force which lives within Crystal Lake. Jason would be the primary antagonist for the first half of the series, then he would be killed and replaced by Tommy Jarvis, who’d become possessed by the evil which inhabited Jason.
Friday the 13th: Chapter I
Set in 11-14 June, 1980. A mashup of Parts I & II, greater emphasis would be placed on characterization, particularly Alice’s, who would be revealed as a single mother who abandoned her 3-year-old daughter to the care of her parents to start her life over. The primary antagonist would be Jason, who’d wear a series of different masks to manifest different facets of his personality; his main mask would be this one:
Under this mask, he would be swift and stealthy, capable of overtaking his prey quickly and covertly. The secondary antagonist would be his mother, Pamela, who had kept him in isolation since his resurrection, trying her hardest to protect him and others from him, to diminishing returns. The film would finish with Alice setting fire to Jason and the Voorhees home, Pamela’s decapitation, and a depressing twist ending.
Friday the 13th: Chapter II
Set in/around 13 January, 1984. A loose remake of Part III, the final girl would be a fusion of Chris and Vera; Shelly would be the final boy. Jason would find/adopt his iconic goalie mask in this entry, manifesting a new personality — the brutal, lumbering Jason we’re most familiar with.
Friday the 13th: Chapter III
Set in/around 13 April, 1984. A more-or-less faithful remake of The Final Chapter. Rob would be reimagined as Alice’s brother.
Friday the 13th: Chapter IV
Set in/around 13 September, 1985. A more-or-less faithful remake of A New Beginning. Most of the patients at Pinehearst would be deaged, including Tommy, who would only be a year older than he was in the preceeding chapter. There’d be more scenes focused on Tommy, his mental deterioration, and his growing rapport with Pam. Roy wouldn’t be the killer, but rather the director of Pinehearst, Matthew, who’d be revealed at the end as a sadistic psychopath who had abused a number of kids in his care and had decided to advance to serial murder, using Tommy’s past with Jason as a cover for his crimes.
Friday the 13th: Chapter V
Set in/around 13 October, 1989. Tommy, now fully possessed by the evil he inherited from Jason, would return to Crystal Lake, renamed Forest Green in the years after the murders. Pursuing him would be his sister, Trish, who would be desperate to find him, stop him, and free him of Jason’s curse. She would meet Elias Voorhees, Jason’s very father. Elias would reveal the truth of Crystal Lake, of the evil beneath its surface which corrupted Jason and moved into Tommy following Jason’s final death. He would claim to have the key to freeing Tommy, but this would only be a half-truth. For Elias would have an ulterior motive; he would believe Jason’s spirit lives on in Tommy, ready to return to his original body, which Elias secretly saved from cremation and had buried in a secret plot…

From what I understand, most people believed Force ghost Anakin was just wearing Tatooine robes because he also was from Tatooine, not because it is a Jedi outfit.
Also true.

A case could be made that Anakin’s Force ghost chose to adopt the same regalia as Ben in a bid to come off as benign as possible to Luke, not because he wore them in life.

If I really wanted to be clever I could have Luke be the son of Anakin and either Leia or Mara Jade be the daughter of the original Darth. That would mean rewriting Return of the Jedi but I always considered it the worst OT film so I probably will
