One line which is worthy of hacking is VADER: "Have you found any droids?"

You could run this line throughout the R:OT and change the last word with whatever James Earl words you can find.

eg. "Have you found any shoes?"

"Have you found any American Dollars?" etc

 "Have you found any angels" should be used multiple times, implying that he's been on a continual search for them since his youth (which is why he would ask people if they were one--just in case).

Might be a little too subtle.  But repetitive dialogue always has potential.

 A better way to underline the redundancy of the Jabba scene could be to replace Jabba's subtitles* with those of Greedo, and Han's dialogue in the Jabba scene with the dialogue from the Greedo scene, having them repeat the earlier scene word for word.

*He does speak Huttese in that scene, right?

Maybe that's still too subtle, but not any more so than your *DELIBERATE CREATIVE DECISION*'s that you used in the other edits....

Figures...I knew I should have not been lazy and reworded my comment as no doubt this sentence should be.

I mean that, playing on the superfluous dialogue of the Jabba scene, you could have other characters tell each other things that they've already told each other, having not just that one superfluous scene, but transforming a large part of the movie into glorious superfluity.

Or maybe not. The gag might not be clear enough for most viewers for them to find it funny.

How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4
Time

^^If memory serves, the hashtag/number sign is check in Shogi. I was going to mention it in my last post, but forgot.

I made a key mistake in turn 37. You had just moved a pawn to 7f and I captured it with my gold general when my original plan had been to move my other gold to 8h. I see now that you probably would have dropped your silver general on 7i instead, but I would have at least been able to move my rook and lose only my gold general rather than the series of pieces I did end up losing, which included my bishop. You were able to maintain your pieces' positions on my side for the rest of the game, and there wasn't much I could do about it that would have allowed me to regain equal footing with you.

I think I'd like to try another game. Maybe we can move on to another variant afterward.

What Special Edition changes (if any) did people like?
Time

I didn't realize before now that Vader's breathing in the cave scene was a later change. It's always bugged me, though.

-Boba Fett's voice change. I hate this with every fabric of my being. I understand why it was done, but it takes me out of the movie every time. 

 Are you a sock puppet, by any chance? ;)
