just to reassure I will have shaw ghost and no eyebrows during unmasking scene. Those are the only SE elements I am keeping. Currently downloading digital 1997 SE’s and will use ending from those which has city celebrations, no wesa free, new music and shaw. I’m also going to look at that Vimeo link mikeluv
Totally agree with you on hammils delivery. It sounds so cynical and odd when he says “I feel the good in you, the conflict”
Since I removed Han walking out to talk to Leia which includes “You told Luke, is that who you could tell” to complete the element of removing any jealousy from Han his conservation with Leia after Death Star destruction is as follows… Leia says she knows Luke didn’t die, Han has confused look, she tells him Luke is her brother and they kiss YAH! Doesn’t feel abrupt, edited well to good effect.
I think I just solved it. I cut out Naboo entirely and worked with it so audio transition is seamless. Getting video transition down. To get shaw back in I use 2011 audio but cut to Depseiclaized once ghosts appear. I cut a bit of Leia walking up to Luke, just a bit of them walking back because the original scene is longer than the blu ray. I saturate the Depseiclaized video color to match up a bit better with the blu Ray color. Only for end.
Ugh I’m trying to remove just the gungan audio but to no avail
Hmm good thinking. I forgot about that “old buddy” line And just thought of his line “we’ve gotta give him more time”. That would be fine cause it shows he’s still in his debt but that line you mentioned might have to go. Do you like the idea of cutting their conservation before the briefing and in the hangar. Yads implemented it also.
Another possibly controversial change I am pretty sure I’ll be adding now that I think about it would be taking out the “I love you, I know”. It’s cheap, forced, and just a shoved in callback to a much more emotional moment IMHO. Thoughts?
To be clear first, I am willing to alter things depending upon what the feedback is. And I am thinking something like cutting the entire Naboo shot. I want to get Q2’s edit so I can splice my edit so far with his ending which is practically what I want to do with mine. And yes, Han pestering 3PO is gone. Do you like it?
VERSION 3.0 OF THIS EDIT HAS BEEN FINISHED AND UPLOADED. PM ME FOR A LINK 😃
MAIN PURPOSE OF EDIT:
When it comes to the Star Wars movies, I consider episodes 4 and 5 to be nearly untouchable masterpieces. The prequels were lacking for myself but there is a massive selection of wonderful fan-edits to choose from. Return of the Jedi on the other hand has always stuck out like a sore thumb for me. It was good but disappointing compared to the cinematic heights reached by the previous two in the original trilogy. Han Solo acted completely different and lost all of his swagger. Strangely enough, he was jealous of Luke. The Ewoks presented an illogical solution to the threat of the Empire and they sucked up a lot of the tension in the third act. And there were just a handful of moments that take the viewer out of the experience. Overall, I felt that Return of the Jedi has not been done justice in the fanediting field. I felt it necessary to provide a streamlined experience which mitigates the Ewoks, improves the character of Han Solo and trims the more distracting elements of the film. I hope you all enjoy this fanedit!
RELEASE INFORMATION:
-720p with 5.1 Surround Sound
CUT LIST:
[THIS WILL ALL BE USING THE THEATRICAL VERSION OF STAR WARS. NO SPECIAL EDITION ELEMENTS ARE RETAINED EXCEPT FOR THE SE MUSIC/CITY CELEBRATIONS AND VADER’s EYEBROWLESS FACE]
-Use retro fox fanfare
-removed 3PO’s captain obvious moment where he says “Oh look, it’s Captain Solo, and he’s still frozen in carbonite.”
-remove droid screams in droid torture scene. (Lovingly borrowed audio from Ziggy’s edit here)
-cut out disintegration of the past protocol droid.
-Both Jedi Rocks and Lapti Nek are very bad, so neither of those survives my edit, but I did retain the nice little musical piece that the harmonica-playing turtle was doing. This also means that Jabba’s servant doesn’t fall down the pit. This makes it more of a surprise when Luke falls into the Rancor pit himself.
-Rescored Chewie’s getting taking away with “Bounty for a Wookie”. (This idea is borrowed from the Dan Edit)
-removed Boba Fett’s nod at Boush.
-We no longer see Lando pull his mask down.
-cut out the frog burping outside of Jabba’s palace
-added force choke sfx when Luke approaches the two Gamorrean guards. (Lovingly borrowed audio from Ziggy’s Edit here)
-Trim Luke and Han’s dialogue scene on the skiff so it ends on Han saying “you’re going to die here, you know”
-added music to the scene between Luke and Obi-Wan on Dagobah for improved emotional effect.
-cut Han and Lando’s conversation before rebel briefing starts.
-took out Han’s line of “good luck, your gonna need it.”
-took out 3PO’s line of “exciting is hardly the word I would choose.”
-took out the entire scene of Lando and Han talking in the hangar
-removed the beat of Han worrying about the falcon
-cut out Han’s “Keep your distance Chewy. But don’t make it look like your trying to keep your distance. I don’t know, fly casual” during shuttle sequence.
-cut out the useless exposition scene in the throne room where the Emperor tells Vader to go on the executor. It slows down the plot and is not needed.
-remove Leia and Wicket scene
-took out Han saying “I hope she’s all right”. It’s far too on the nose.
-cut out Han grabbing Ewok’s spear and his “proper” line. This helps make the Ewok’s seem more scary. Han easily manhandling the spear of an ewok greatly reduces any tension that might even be present.
-cut out cutesy shots of Ewoks when 3PO is being floated in the air on his chair
-cut out R2 electrocuting the Ewok.
-Threepios storytelling cuts off at “I was just getting to that”. We cut to Luke outside from there. That god awful laughably delivered line from threepio saying “we are now part of the tribe” and the following celebrations is just so damn SILLY! Watch that part again and you will giggle whether it be on the inside or the outside.
-cut out Han talking to Leia after Luke leaves. This cuts out Han acting jealous of Luke.
-I cut out ATON of the ewoks in the battle. They arrive as an early distraction, then when you see them the rest of the time, they are usually getting there asses handed to them by the Empire.
-Take out Chewie’s tarzan yell
-remove the cringeworthy “I love you—I know you” callback.
-have Vader’s head fade away when he dies. This now is consistent with Obi Wan and Yoda dissapearing when they died.
-Han and Leia’s conversation after the death star explodes, is as follows:
Han- “I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew.”
Leia- “He wasn’t…I can feel it.”
Han gives a very confused look
Leia- “He’s my brother”
The scene flows REALLY well now, and is a huge improvement over the original. In my edit, there is absolutely no trace of jealousy in Han.
-Thanks to Q2, the ending scene has the SE music (“Victory Celebration”) and it has Sebastian Shaw as Anakin. Also, the “wesa free” line has been removed. I think the SE music is more grand and emotional, I despise the “wesa free” line in the Naboo shot, and I hate hayden’s ghost, so this ending works PERFECTLY for me!
-And I’d also like to add that I have released a version with Yub Nub as the ending music instead of Victory Celebration.
VERSION 3.0, ADDITIONAL CHANGES
-cut out all of salicious crumb laughing
-cut out the laughing of Jabba’s creatures when Han and Leia are captured
-cut out scene of Han and Chewie reuniting
-cut down rancor scene to avoid some of the poor special effects and get the story along since the scene doesn’t serve much purpose besides “hey, look at this cool monster fight”.
-cut out Jabba pulling Leia back from sail barge window and talking to her
-cut out C3PO asking why R2 is serving drinks
-cut out 3PO asking them if they want to plea and Han’s cheesy response. Now 3PO just says Jabba hopes they will die honorably and then Luke warns Jabba it is his last chance.
-cut out Boba Fett completely from sail barge fight
-remove Salicious pulling out 3PO’s eyes and R2 zapping him
-remove more shots of ewoks after Han, Luke, Chewie, R2, and 3PO cut themselves out of the booby trap.
-remove more cutesy shots of ewoks during feast
-remove Vader saying “I must obey my master”. Now he just says “You don’t know the power of the dark side”. Vader should be confident in what he believes is right like in ESB, rather than doing it just cause of the Emperor. For goodness sakes, he was plotting to take over before this film.
-remove Vader saying “It is too late for me son.” Way too obvious of foreshadowing, cheapens his eventual turn, and makes Vader seem like he already knows that what he believes in is wrong and misguided. This moment of self revelation for our characters is meant to happen at the END of the arc.
-remove the Emperor saying “You must know by now your father can never be turned from the dark side.” This just sounds plain stupid and makes the Emperor think of Vader as some prize that he has fooled. Vader should feel like a respected ally and learner of the Emperor.
-remove Vader saying “It is useless to resist.” What is this, some sort of shiny object called the Dark side being dangled in front of Luke. This makes the dark side feel less complex.
-remove the Emperor saying “You, like your father, are now mine”. Again, my point stands. Why is the Emperor talking about Vader like some fool he tricked and has under his leash right in front of Vader? There should be more respect between such two powerful and ambitious men who have similar goals.
-cut out the Emperor telling Luke that if he picks up his saber that his journey towards the dark side will be complete. This just makes Luke look like an idiot. Instead the Emperor basically just tells Luke his friends and the alliance will die and that there is no hope. This actually now makes more sense as to why Luke would fall into the temptation of attacking the Emperor.
I always felt it was odd that the Endor/Space battles are basically about to be won by the time we see Luke and Vader have their heroic triumphs in the throne room. Those triumphs should be followed by things looking better in Endor and Space so the new scene order reflects that.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN! IT MEANS A LOT 😃
But Luke and Vader never on the inside actually WANT to be EVIL. Anakin turns because he hates the Jedi code, believes the sith are the light side and the Jedi are the dark side. Once he is lost in his power and grandeur, gets his legs cut off and becomes more machine than man that he might as well throw himself into his work. Luke is tempted by rage and if he killed Vader he would believe his friends were dead by then, the rebellion was crushed, all hopes of converting his father were gone and he had the emperor waiting for him with open arms to rule together. Luke would choose the emperor at that point. By him not killing Vader he chooses to do the noble thing and die rather than make the previous mistakes of his father. Then Vader cleans it all up himself by killing the emperor and realizing he fullfills his true destiny and that neither the sith or the Jedi of the old republic were right but that Luke had shown him back to the good path.
Now by having somebody motivate you to turn to the dark side by saying “turn to the dark side” it is so weak! Above I explained how intricate manipulation of ones moral compass and friends around him can turn him to the dark side. Not simply repeating in many forms of “turn to the dark side”. I feel like these lines in ROTJ cheapen the turn of Anakin in RoTS and Lukes possible turn in ROTJ.

Ok I get that but how about “I feel the good in you, the conflict.” And then by the end Vader says “you underestimate the power of the dark side”. What I see here is Luke telling Vader there’s good in him and Vader pretty much saying “but being bad is strong and stuff”. “Dark Side” is too on the nose for any sith to use. Vader should say you underestimate the power of the sith. Or just remove the line.
I’ve been working on a return of the Jedi fan edit and don’t know about a lot of the lines in here regarding the “power of the dark side”. Vader constantly refers to this but I thought what made his turn convincing in RoTS was because he came to terms with himself that the Jedi were evil. The best villains (aka Vader) believe they are doing what’s right. Vader by telling Luke that he is under estimating the dark side Vader is quite literally acknowledging his actions are dark/evil. And likes line “I can feel the good in you, the conflict…” Damn it just feels so unnatural and contradictory to Anakins character established in prequel fan edits and literature like Matthew stover’s RotS Novelization. Wondering if I should consider cutting these out? Thanks again everyone.
If episode 8 really does it well with Rian Johnson then maybe just maybeee. Very hard though. ESB is nearly perfect IMO and one of my most favorite films of ALL TIME.
Completely agree with Malastrana about how Hal’s order of scenes isn’t disconnected but actually much more graceful. In Hal’s edit Anakin doesn’t tell anyone about his nightmares except Palpatines which displays his already found distrust in the Jedi. And I have recently started debating about whether the Yoda scene should be left in. Or him using a lightsaber at all for that matter. At first thought it’s actually pretty great. But as Iv thought about it, it feels like it contradicts his character. Not because it’s silly or doesn’t benefit the third act because I highly disagree. I think when watching it you get Friend vs Friend with Anakin vs obi wan who got caught up in all this crap and then the manipulator (palps) versus the leader of the manipulated (Yoda). It adds great action and tension with some great cinematically grand shots accompanied with powerful musical cues. I am questioning the scene being kept in because of Yodas character, surely not because it ruins the final climax of the prequel trilogy (which it sure as hell does the opposite)
I agree that the term can feel very derogatory and don’t wish to come off as sexist. I’m simply analyzing at the level of storytelling and character set up.
And could we try to solve the problem of Rey kinda being a Mary Sue. She learns a Jedi mind trick in a matter of seconds, she overpowers Kylo in a lightsaber duel, knows the falcon better than Han, etc.
I see your point of view and do agree that Hans death is very emotional but the immolation scene is ridiculously packed with emotion for me. Ewans delivery on those lines are masterful. And to be clear here, when comparing each of these films as they were theatrically released I would put TFA above RoTS.
P.S.
The music for immolation scene is stronger/more emotional than “Torn Apart” in TFA IMHO
the problem with TFA is not its execution but rather its lack of ideas and Rey being a Mary Sue. Luke and especially Anakin in RoTs are way more flawed and relatable so that when scenes like Anakins immolation happen you feel the emotion more viscerally than when Rey defeats Kylo for example. (And, RoTS soundtrack destroys TFA soundtrack).
I think when fan edited with deleted scenes, trimming the light saber battle so Rey doesn’t win but just holds on, and moving Planet destructions to later in the film would really benefit TFA. That’s why I’m so excited cause in 2 weeks the digital version comes out and the fan editing can begin.
Completely agree that episode 7, and episode 4 are jumping points and the true legacy will be decided in 8 and 9. But here’s hybrid RoTS fan edit vs TFA comparison:
Story/ideas: RoTS>TFA
Characters: RoTS=TFA
Action: RoTS=TFA
Humor: RoTS<TFA
First Act: RoTS<TFA
Second Act: RoTS>TFA
Third Act: RoTS>TFA
Emotional Impact: RoTS>TFA
Immolation Scene>Hans Death Scene
I wouldn’t say eclipses. There is many powerful moments, great action, a couple great lines etc. and a fantastic story but then you also have Jar Jar, Sand, “it’s so dense”, wooden dialogue (laughable at some moments). When this is cut out, and deleted scenes are added, scenes reordered I think there made into something so much better. Honestly, a hybrid fan edit of L8wtr and Hal’s for episode 3 is better than TFA
Interesting. I think I might start a ROTJ edit that has 2 versions. They would be a mashup of simple ideas from editors to trim the fat One will be more conservative like the Dan edit where Luke still shows up later in the film. I would cut what Yads cut mostly, use Ziggys shuttle scene, (use harmys 2.5 as main source of course for entire movie along with 2011 blu ray), use Ziggys change of Vaders vanishing head, and for the ending use Q2’s ending which is perfect really. Widespread galaxy celebration is just fine (holonet people, and bigger victory relief), keep new SE music (very inspirational and fitting to end of such a saga, yub nub is rather anti climatic) and obviously use Sebastian shaw. For V2 of my edit I would do everything the same but put Luke and Dagobah towards the start.
I mainly don’t know if moving the Dagobah scene is good. Pros and cons of moving back the scene earlier are below:
Pros-
-It establishes a direct bridge to Empire better with the discussion of Vader and Skywalker related stuff
-cool callback to Luke leaving Dagobah again to help his friends
Cons-
-Luke arriving later actually is very cool and it’s a great character introduction specifically for Luke as being mysterious and a entirely new person.
-Helps correspond with books, novels etc. continuity
Your People’s feelings on this change? Ziggy and spence used it and Yads did not.
This is more of a discussion hinting towards mythology of Star Wars and what impact the sequel trilogy will have on the sagas story as a whole. Overall in perceptive of the story of the six episodes so far were given two very different trilogies in ideas and execution. The prequels have better ideas/overall plot than the originals. Yes I said it! And I shall defend it while also acknowledging the immense problems with the prequels when it comes to the execution of these ideas. The original trilogy was a black and white story of light vs dark. No problem with that because it obviously still allowed for a fantastic movie trilogy. But it can’t reach the philosophical heights the prequels do (with fan edits; Hal9000s, L8wtrs, Q2’s).
The prequels establish the environment of indoctrination and arrogance of a organization blinded to the changing world. The prequels illustrate how the Sith were playing smarter and more adaptive than the Jedi. Things start to heat up philosophically when Anakins mother dies along with the introduction of a great plot device… The Jedi code and its strict, emotionally limiting principles of detachment and discipline. Anakin obviously feels frustrated with the Jedi starting in episode 2 when he starts having feelings for padme. You will see he comes to temporary peace with this by saying the Jedi are encouraged to love while in transit to Naboo in a conservation with padme. Only later does Anakin realize that even Yoda practically welcomes the death of close ones. Palpatines plants the idea that the Sith are merely an embrace of a full spectrum of life where love and passion are the center of a siths life. Obviously, this was pure seduction but with some truth which was that the Jedi are wrong and the code had its faults. So who’s right then? No one. Not until Luke Skywalker comes along. This is the bridge between the trilogies and how the prequels let you see the OT in new light. Episode 4 mythologically doesn’t do nearly as much as empire and Jedi but does the job of introducing a whole new step in the saga. Empire has Yoda train luke which is great because you have the cave scene and some good truth from Yoda to Luke. But where empire hits home is reinserting the Jedi code of detachment into the OT coming from the mouths of directly obi wan and Yoda. Luke refuses to accept this and leaves to bespin. With Anakin he was seduced by sidious along side that. so that and just Luke’s character as a whole is why he doesn’t turn to the dark side in empire. That’s the great thing about the PT and OT compared. Anakin and Luke face the same problems with attachment but in the prequels we give Anakin more pressure, a secret wife, a council of masters lurking at his every move etc. in the OT Luke is given a innocent upbringing with honest and fresh eyes to the whole Jedi Code. Luke is able to make his own decisions without believing he must be a sith since they love and Jedi do Not. Anakin was tricked into this dark power by sidious and his problem with the Jedi code did not ultimately make him evil but it was eventually his crazed dreams of grandeur that formed and selfishness. By the end of episode 3 Anakin doesn’t give a crap about Padme and is so lost in his rage and power that he ultimately turns evil. Luke in Jedi chose love over detachment while acknowledging that it wasn’t Jedi or sith but it what was RIGHT. Only when Anakin finally realized this at the end of Jedi did he choose to definetly make things right by killing the emperor and letting his son know that he was right about their still being good in him. This six episode spanning saga of STORY is perhaps the grandest and greatest I have ever experienced. Now I also must say this before I bridge this to the sequel trilogy. There is a big difference between Ideas/Story/mythology and Execution of those ideas. The OT executed brilliantly while the prequel trilogy not so much. But with added deleted scenes, trimmed up distractions (fart jokes and sand alike), and reordering of scenes with high quality fan edits the prequels are shown in all their glory. Same goes for the original trilogy when using theatrical editions. OT had great execution, but not amazing mythology when it comes to morals and light and dark side. This is solved by the complementing story of the prequels. The prequels had fantastic ideas/story with poor execution. This is remedied by Fan-edits. Say what you will about TFA but I find its execution theatrically was up to par and better than the prequels execution. I find it though as a single movie to be lacking ideas wise. But here’s my theory. Episode 4 is what it’s mirroring all movie so let’s take a step back to ANH. Great Movie with nearly perfect execution but now that I think about it, it wasn’t that emotionally deep with any inspiring ideas until it is accompanied by Empire and Jedi and the prequels to a certain extent. I feel that since Force Awakens was the first of a trilogy and had to bring in the old AND the new characters it did fine for that job. Now the greatness of the ideas lies in the hands of episodes 8 and 9. I think what would be so great is if Snoke is revealed to have seen the mistakes of leaders, Jedi and Sith through the PT/OT events and swares to not repeat them. The politics is pretty much that the new republic is again blind to the real threat and doesn’t consider the first order a large enough of a threat. I’m reaching now for anything but I wanted to now propose what ideas relating to the prophecy and mythology of the saga will be presented in the FINAL trilogy of trilogies. May the force be with you all.
Mod Edit: the above was an intriguing post, yet somewhat difficult to break down without losing focus, so below is my attempt at breaking the above down into more digestible paragraphs… (I hope you don’t mind, darthrush?)

Finished the edit and thought it was pretty well done. Pros and cons below
Pros:
-love that Dagobah scene is shifted to being the second scene.
-Trimmed up Jabba palace scenes were nice
-enjoyed the shuttle scene trimmed up to mirror ESB more
-cut out cutesy Ewoks stuff overall which is greatly appreciated
-Darth Vaders head disappears
-Ending with Luke and leia theme is very nice indeed
Cons
-audio for Yodas extra line and Hans “son of a bitch” line stick out badly. Luke’s line in his x wing on the way out of Dagobah is not synced right.
-took out rancor sequence which is plain iconic and with SE updated effects it holds up just enough
Seciors I think. Iv heard it’s a very rushed but radical edit and wanted to try it. Sorry for the request, I just found it on fanedit.info. I swear I looked through the list like 5 times lol. Just finished AOTR just yesterday. Great work Frink! Anakin wishing he could rather dream about Jar jar was spot on haha!
