Revenge of the Sith. It would explain why Palps knows everything.

This would be funny if Palpatine and Anakin were watching ROTS at the opera house, and just after he watches the scene where Mace Windu and Ki Adi Mundi talk about sensing a plot to destroy the Jedi, he says the line "the Jedi are planning to overthrow me."

To make it extra meta, the hologram Mace and Ki Adi are standing at could be showing Palpatine saying "once more the Sith will rule the galaxy!" to which Mace states "I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi."

I'm definitely with that. It would explain why he foresees the future all the way until Episode VI, but perhaps he had to stop watching for some reason which would be why he doesn't foresee Darth Vader reverting to the good side (so if there is any way you could hint at or imply that he didn't get to finish viewing the future then you should fit it in).

I think ROTS being the movie within the movie would cause some sort of rip in the fabric of space & time, ultimately destroying all life. But that's just me. ;)

I don't think that matters in a ridiculous edit :)

I thought the clip was funny, but it interrupted the flow, so I have to agree with what Dominic.

Speaking of Ric Olie, in case this hasn't been suggested yet, Ric should say "You catch on pretty quick!" in reply to Obi-Wan's "That's no moon..." line.

He should also comment on the size of everything.

You could and should make Wedge the Ric Olie of the Original Trilogy.

LOL 

He could come in saying "I'm back. I've been gone a month."

Cliegg ought to be still hanging around the farm muttering to himself. (Having become that crazy relative everyone mentally tunes out.) He could even float past when Luke is surveying the carnage later on. ;)

Saying "She's been gone a month."

Since you're going into the Obi-Wan and Padme thing, do you think you could make Obi-Wan fight Anakin to try and eliminate competition?

Yes, it wasn't quite clear the first time, but now it's a lot more obvious that they aren't supposed to be speaking out loud.

During the lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and Luke, Obi-Wan could keep telling Luke to alternatively use the dark and light sides of the force:

"Luke, use the dark side of the force."...

"Luke, use the light side of the force."...etc.

After the Death Star blows up and Leia tells Han that Luke is her brother, and then Han turns his head, you could have Leia turn his head back multiple times and fill it with all kinds of dialogue. It would be funny if you had them break up (perhaps you could have her say she likes Lando instead--or something completely ridiculous like C-3PO or R2-D2) and end the scene with a shocked Han looking away and skip the kiss, etc.

The repetition part has been done before, but there's still a lot you could do with that scene.

I like TEOR as well.

I vote for TRJ.

Ridiculousness of the Wookies or Return of the Wookies?

Maybe when he sees what Vader looks like, he doesn't like it and puts the mask back on immediately.

He could take the mask off, scream NOOO (like he did in Episode V), and immediately put the mask back on Vader.

It could also be funny if Obi-Wan told Luke that Yoda was his father. Or Luke could think the real Yoda was his father. Maybe that would be more creepy than funny--I don't know.

The Executor could destroy the Death Star when it crashes into it.

Feel free to post ideas here, including alternate titles.  I'd like to have something easily identifiable by acronym, but this would have the same one as Revenge of the Ridiculousness.  And The Ridiculous of the Jedi is still ROTJ, so that's no good.

You probably wouldn't want to do this, but since Revenge of the Ridiculousness isn't finished, you could still change the name to Ridiculousness of the Sith, which would allow you to use Return of the Ridiculousness as teh title for Episode VI.

Shoot.

I'm no fan of Family Guy either, I just remembered something about that on a preview I had seen.

Maybe Luke could have a lot of difficulty getting Vader's helmet off? This was done in a Family Guy version of Star Wars, but it could still be done, and probably pretty easily as well. You could have him give up and leave without taking off the helmet at all.

And of course you should use the repetition gag for that--you could have him show up throughout the movie. You could make it so that Darth Vader doesn't kill Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan is still up on the tower pulling levers. So Obi-Wan would die when Luke blows up the Death Star.

Or instead of Luke blowing up the Death Star, the last lever Obi-Wan pulls could blow it up instead. Or instead of impacting on the surface, Red(?) Leader's shot could blow it up.

I like the idea of Obi-Wan destroying things and causing trouble when he's shutting down the tractor beam. He could blow up things and kill people from both trilogies such as:

1. Blowing up Alderaan (that would mean that the shot of the Millenium Falcon arriving at the remains of Alderaan would have to be skipped past to the shot of the Falcon approaching the Death Star--it could be used later though, showing that Obi-Wan was oblivious to the destruction he was causing--and the scene where Tarkin orders the destruction of Alderaan would have to be skipped as well)...

2. Starting the trash compacter (this has already been suggested)...

3. Causing explosions throughout the Death Star (using shots from attack scenes on both Death Stars)...

4. Causing the Super Star destroyer from Episode VI to crash into the Death Star...

and

5. Blowing up the Death Star (which would have to be followed by an "OOPS!"--if you can find or make one--and a rewind of the Death Star explosion).

They didn't in the real original movie.

I wish I had seen these earlier.

^ Lovin' the "This is where the ... begins gag".

On a side note, I can't wait to hear Alec Guiness speaking about himself in the third person the way you've been doing with Ewan.

Same here for both statements.
