4. 'not sure if this is even ‘fixable’ but it has ALWAYS bothered me:
   in ANH Threepio says he’s
   "just a translator,and not very good at telling stories…'or at least at making them interesting…"
   yet in ROTJ he regales the Ewok village with stories of our heroes adventures to date-with sound effects and everything! did he get a 'storyteller upgrade?? 'As I said I’ve not a clue how you’d fix this but it’s always stuck out as a huge contradiction…(?)

Ah, that has always been my favourite moment in ROTJ! I read that scene as deliberately harkening back to Threepio’s line in ANH. This reference serves to illustrate just how much the droid has experienced since ANH - far beyond typical protocol! - and at the same time mythologises our heroes; cementing their exploits in legend. Witnessing the Ewoks rapt, enthralled by Threepio’s tale, reinforces the exceptional journey of our heroes; and this makes plausible Rey’s regard of Luke Skywalker as “myth”, in The Force Awakens.

ow,always enjoyed the scene…it’s just such a total contradiction to the one in ANH…'like the TFA myth idea…hadn’t thought of that! 👍

Been following and supporting you when I can via Facebook,but have joined this forum to follow your progress and put my two-penuth in(!)

'excited to hear you’ve ‘broken ground’ on the last part of your journey…'agree 100% about the prequels…'best left well alone!
not sure about everything you’ve mentioned in your list of proposed changes for ROTJ:R ('but then I thought ESB was perfect until ESB:R made it even BETTER…'however I actually quite like the SE Sarlac and the additions in Jabba’s Palace…😱)
so my suggestions/thoughts:

1. 'my main niggle with ROTJ (apart from the ‘slapstick’ Ewoks!) 'has always been Boba Fett’s ‘comedy death’… the whole thing just doesn’t feel like a good ‘end’ for such a popular and supposedly deadly character…(?)

2. 'if you could fix the continuity problems with Luke’s Lightsaber (hero/v2/stunt) that’d be amazing (since this will be complete well after SW:TLJ perhaps tying into whichever version that movie settles on?!)

3. Make the battle of Endor as mad and crazy as possible,love the suggestion of an ROTS-style tracking ‘one-shot’ on the Millennium Falcon plowing through the melee ,but maybe add an few U-Wings?..and as this will be (presumably) be completed after the end of Star Wars Rebels perhaps another Ghost cameo also? (especially as Rex is already on the planet with Han’s team!😉) similarly add every variation of TIE and Star Destroyer as seen throughout the movies,anthologies and TV series…nothing ‘in your face’ just enough to give us a little thrill whilst tying the whole universe together…(?)

5. love the idea of the shuttle Tydirium being changed to the Rogue One or perhaps ANH:SE version …also agree with other comments that maybe for the Emperor the same style as Krennic’s shuttle would be good?

I hope I can contribute again at some point in a more concrete way,once again I love ESB:R and the fact you’ve made a perfect movie better! I look forward to seeing you perform the same magic again
