I really like how they used this music for the Attack of the clones trailer. It's the music from the ROTJ sailbarge scene.
How much ewok footage could be removed from the film without affecting the plot much?
Yeah, that is the best way to go by far! Although I did always like it how anakin said "What have I done?!" After Mace dies. It somewhat gives the idea that he could possibly be turned back to the light side before the end. (For first time Star Wars viewers that is.)

Let's close the brackets then.
To get back to the topic, I've just noticed something on moviemistakes.com (great site):

Is this fixable in any way?
Those are terrible mistakes that should all be fixed. Most of them are a lot more noticible than chewie's foot. Especially the one where Han's jacket just appears on him. WOW
If I hadn't seen any of them before I would watch them in the correct order storywise (I, II, III, IV, V, VI)
I would really like it if his eyes turned all 'Sith Red'. It just makes sence.
I dont think that has ever happend ; )
I'm fine with the removal of uneeded 3P0 stuff
In my opinion, if it takes place DURING the setting of any of the movies, it doesnt count as EU
The grey battle droids would be awesome. The PT is way too colorful
Another thing to consider, footage of Jango from Episode II could also be used for this. He would just need to be re-colored & whatnot. It would be cool to see Boba Fett use his flame thrower!
Could also take footage from the deleted scenes so it would not seem familiar to most people
All the droid's voices in Revenge of the Sith changed drastically from the first two episodes. They now sound like high pitch cartoon voices and it sickens me

That could actually work out but the costumes alone would be hell. You can get replicas of the costumes on ebay but each costume is hundreds of dollars each.
Someone has to get all of the unused footage of the enitre trilogy from the Lucasfilm archives somehow.
TheBoost said:Honestly, I don't mind TPM, although about 60% less Jar Jar would be nice.
Or 100% less Jar Jar... You seriously enjoyed TPM more than AOTC? Wow, I liked Hayden Christensen like 5 times more than Jake Lloyd and he was soo annoying in AOTC. I found he was alright in ROTS though.
Well it's not really EU that he lives. George wanted him to crawl outta that thing in the movie, so I think it should show that. He is one of the most popular Star Wars characters of all time & I just think many fans would be greatly dissapointed if he was simply removed from the whole movie. Maybe he could just be removed from the sail barge scene if at all. I just hope he's shown escaping it but that would mean he would have to fall into it a better way as well. That's just how I feel & think most others feel about this character. Don't take me for a Boba fett fanboy though, lol.
Yeah but he's alive in all the stories taking place after Return of the Jedi. It just doesnt make sence for him to die. He has a much bigger role outside of the movies, which is still important.
I found this on the IMDB trivia of ESB
"Further scenes with the Wampa were shot, and later cut. R2-D2 encountered one within the Rebel base, where it was killed by troopers. Later, the beasts were lured into a prison within the complex. In the completed film, a medical droid is seen examining the wounds of a tauntaun killed by a Wampa, and Princess Leia mentions the "creatures" while discussing the Imperial probe droid. A scene filmed but cut had Han, Leia and C-3PO running through a corridor. Han went to take a short-cut through a door with a sign on it, but Leia warned him "that's where those creatures are kept". They run off, but not before C-3PO rips off the sign, hoping that the stormtroopers will enter the room. They did."
It would be awesome if someone could get a hold of this footage somehow
I also was under the impression that it was the same probe droid, but it doesn't really make sense and it doesnt need to be seen crashing twice. And thanks for the clarification, Rhikter. I actually never thought of it like that, lol. I think I'm stupid haha.
Yeah, I also agree that this post ESB:R stuff is too interesting to not talk about. Someone should make a seperate thread for it maybe? Let me know!
Some ROTJ Suggestions:
- Jabba's palace music number removed/heavily altered. If not, at least remove that damn fat chick that's walking around
- Boba Fett flirting with aliens removed (Basically the part where he touches her chin)
- Leave the scene where it shows the frog thing outside of Jabba's Palace, but please take out the burp after it eats.
- Re-done FX when Leia releases Han from the carbonite.
- Remove the part where it shows the fat guy crying about the rancor dying.
- When R2D2 launches Luke's saber, Luke puts his arm in the air and is just standing there while the lightsaber takes way too long to get there. Anyone could have easily pushed Luke into the pit by that time (especially the guy RIGHT BESIDE HIM!) So maybe shorten the amount of time it takes for that.
- Also during the sail barge fight, when Luke get's shot in the hand; why was he just standing there with his arm perfectly straight up in the air? Also, the mark was on his hand before he even got hit. I think that should just be removed and when it shows him putting on his glove later, it can just me recolored to look like skin.
- Boba Fett's "death": I don't think he should have such a stupid death. Especially with that horrible scream he let's out. But, I also really disagree that he be removed from the film entirely. Boba Fett does not die in the Sarlaac pit. On the commentary for ROTJ, George Lucas states that he was going to add a scene of Fett escaping the pit but didn't have the time or something. So HE IS meant to get out of there. So, you could show him climbing out or even see him fly by on his jetpack as Luke and the gang are leaving.
- Yoda's death: Not a big deal, but I always thought it looked fake how his body disappears, maybe it could look more consistent?
- Rebel meeting with Mon Mothma: This scene could be re-cut or altered or something because I always found it to be the most boring part of this film for some reason. Also, the hologram graphics could be re-done.
- Ewoks should be toned down A LOT in my opinion. Any comic relief related to the ewoks should be totally removed. The less ewoks in the movie, the better. And all of the music when showing the ewoks is just terrible.
- Luke vs Vader: I always found the lightsabers to be too thick. If you compare them to all of the other lightsabers throughout the trilogy, they're much bigger in width, I noticed. The best saber effects IMO, are the ones from Episode II. Even the sound of the lightsabers are different in ROTJ. Also, I think the idea of Luke's eyes turning red would be pretty cool. I mean, when Anakin had red eyes, he wasnt fully turned to the dark side. They even went away. They didnt become red again until after he was on fire. The Emperor's last scream could be altered a bit too, but not a big deal.
- Super Star Destroyer crash: Could the scene somehow be flipped sideways or something so it looks like it drives straight into the Death Star instead of falling into it?
- If you keep the celebration scenes at the end, take out the Gungan saying "Weesa free!" from when it shows Naboo.
- Anakin, for his ghost & when Luke takes off his helmet: When Luke takes of the helmet, make him look like an older Hayden Christensen and do so with the ghost as well. His voice should also be altered to sound like an older Christensen. By my calculations, Anakin should be around the age of 45 by this time. Another idea would be to make him look like an older Christensen, but instead of doing that with his ghost too, just leave the young ghost. To keep the continuity, Hayden Christensen has to be in it (sadly) one way or another. Also, when he's a ghost he should have his dark brown Jedi clothes from the PT. That was his personal choice of Jedi tunics because he wanted to be unique. (Read that in my episode 2 visual dictionary)
Adywan, I hope you take at least some of my thoughts into consideration when revisiting ROTJ, which I know you wont be doing for a while, but I just wanted to make these points since I just watched it again, haha.
Sweet stuff!
I have a couple questions about ESB: I've always wondered, at the first of the movie, it shows the pod crash and the probe droid comes out, then it shows another pod crash when Luke is talking to Han on the radio. Is that supposed to be the same probe droid or did several of them land on Hoth?
Another thing, the part where they close the rebel base giant blast door, why is there such a build up to that? It seems like its supposed to be really epic.
Woah, he's revisiting the prequels too? Well in that case, I dont mind.

bkev said:Because he can, and it helps the flow of the movie. Well, #3 doesn't; but it's personal taste.
Yeah, #3 actually ruins the flow of the movie. Boba Fett is supposed to be a clone of jango and should have the same voice. I always disliked the original voice anyway. But why would the wampa scene be shortened? The SE wampa scene was perfect. I think it should be extended. The other two wont be missed I guess, but the more FX, the better.
