i have one for ROTJ:
in the Marvel Comics adaption of the film when R2-D2 is projecting the hologram of Luke, he's wearing his cloak with the hood up, like when he first enters Jabba's palace. It gave a mysterious aura to Luke because in the artwork you couldn't see his face. i always thought it would be cool if Luke was wearing his cloak in the hologram, obscuring his face in the film. perhaps the lines could be re-edited so that he doesn't just blurt out "Hi there! i'm Luke Skywalker the Jedi knight and i want my pal Han back!" ( i always thought it was dumb for one of the most wanted men in the galaxy to be introducing himself via message to one of the biggest crime-lords around with connections to the Empire.) so maybe his intro line can read "Greetings exalted one, i'm a jedi knight and friend of Capt. Solo..." or something like that. maybe even give Hamil's voice a bit more bass to add to the mystique and make Luke sound a bit more confident and dangerous?
also when Luke first enters the palace, to keep the mystique going, keep his face darkened under his hood and keep the bass in his voice until he reveals himself to Jabba. (sorry if this is confusing, it's been a loong day.)
i have no idea how any of this can be done (if it even can), but i always thought those first scenes with Luke could have been so much cooler. that's just my 2 cents.
btw, i just saw Adywan's edit today and i was amazed. i'm thrilled to see these new interpretations of my favorite movies. keep 'em coming!
