You become Lucas' advisor post-1999
Time

What was Jar Jar’s character though? That he stepped in the poopie? What was Qui-Gon’s? He was a cheater and made terrible choices? They’re written as flat, simplistic stereotypes without any further development. You could leave them both on the cutting room floor without impacting the plot. Fabulous what now? There’s only so much you can discuss without sounding like a joke account.

Anakin appears as himself as he should have been by that point in his life. His redemption carries through to the Force-afterlife. When he was redeemed and lay dying in Luke’s arms, he was Anakin again, and Vader was no more.

In way, Vader is the mask itself. Once it came off, he was human again. So Shaw’s face is integral to the scene and the ending.

Don’t bring back any characters except Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine. Avoid other OT characters. Write a space adventure story. Forget all that crap about shooting digital. Hint at a romance between Anakin and another Jedi, but don’t show it to save the ESB reveal. Think up new and actual good ideas about the Jedi order and the Force instead of making a big mess. Spell it Kloa’ne Wars or something so we can have an interesting storyline.

Okay so this may be a fake memory type of thing, but has Moff Jerjerrod ever said ‘we shall redouble our efforts’ ? I sometimes still think about this in that opening scene.

Wrong thread http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/General-Star-Wars-Questions/id/57205

Looks like this thread, only with a lack of vision.

So, double or redouble?

DNR and motion smoothing was mostly a problem with older blu-rays, and not quite so much anymore.

Sure but copies do exist in some places, and they can be re-released in box sets. In some cases it’s hard to know what you’re getting. Motion smoothing is a more recent problem with TV sets I believe, it was in that Twitter campaign by James Gunn just a few months back.

Anyone else totally disregard Leia being Luke's sister?
Time

Leia doesn’t need to be anyone’s sister to be their other last hope. They set up her potential Force powers at the end of Empire, the added twist is unnecessary. Then again they could have also cut out all that Ewok padding and wrote in a new character. They do go back to Tatooine after all, it would be simple.
