Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness
Time

Maybe they are not actually out to harm Obi Wan. They are the homeless droids of the galaxy, insisting on washing the ship for Obi Wan.

subtitles could get this across. Careful removing of actual damage could help sell it. The fog on the window could just be from some sort of cheap form of washing fluid.

It could be funny if Obi Wan had a line along the lines of "No, I just had it washed!"

then of course, one tries to go ask R2 if he'd like his dome wiped down, which he refuses intensely.

Lando really hitting Han could work as well. In combination with Chewie and Leia not really caring about it, this could be really funny. Han could feature a black eye after that.

There could be a punch heard offscreen, followed by Leia saying "yes, very friendly."

I imagine the black eye might be hard to do, but if it were possible, it would be funny to have it last up until Han says "I think my eyes are getting better" in ROTJ, lol.

There's some good dialogue about "joining forces" and such, that could be used as the back and forth between Luke and The Emperor.

And the song, I think, would be hilarious as Vader's redemption theme. It can also be heard here:

And another version of the song, in case it might fit better:

A slightly different idea I had for the tauntaun:

2 more options:

- replace John Candy with Nute Gunray (maybe even "now there are two of them" would work here)
or
- replace him with Jimmy Hoffa (did Ford ever say the name?)

Quotes from Batman for Lando are great, but I think quotes from Brian's Song might be even better.  There could be a whole lot of attention to the fact that he's the only black man in the OT, and considering the theme of Brian's Song, you'd have a lot of lines to pull from.

Here is a small sample from IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068315/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

Another example, when he sees Han, "How you doin' you old pirate!  So good to see you!  How's your mother?"

You're right. This would be really great. :)

Didn't Billy record an album? I think it was called Let's Misbehave. He could burst into song every once in a while just to be told to stop it.

 

Edit to add:
Just thought about this scene: Han and Lando meet (The "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler."-scene) Have that really long awkward pause with crickets and all the thingmajigs, just to let Lando repeat the line. Maybe with some alternating reaction shots. Tension, tension everywhere!

I originally had the idea of using John Candy frozen in the back of the pickup to be inside the tauntaun, but that shot of him looking surprised made me laugh more, so I used that instead. An alternate idea would've been to use Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels frozen in Dumb and Dumber, with Jim Carrey's dialogue heard as Luke is inserted inside the tauntaun saying "your hands are freezing!"

How about when Lando moves forward to act like he's going to attack Han, instead of seeing the rest of that moment, we cut to Chewie and Leia, with a punching sound effect, to show that Lando was actually serious. THEN he starts laughing and we cut back to the original scene.

Here's a few ideas for Lando TooCoolToHandle:

His line at 0:12 could be used when Han arrives to Cloud City.

Perhaps this could be Lando's theme music?

And, after Lando invites Leia for refreshments, when she says yes, Lando could say the final line in this video:

As I mentioned in the other thread, replace the wampa with the Agreeable Snowman from Monsters Inc.

I also have this old video I made that connects ESB to the prequels more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-wFb9DU0SQ

Lando can constantly ask "what did you do to my ship?" anytime the Falcon is referenced, and could be in the middle of that sentence when they go to lightspeed at the end.

When Han Solo cuts the taun taun open someone could be peeking out. A line from CB4 of a guy hiding in a prison laundry basket saying "I'm in this one!" could fit there, maybe?

It sounds cool to add that large arachnid, but I'm curious where?

Without any new scenes being added to ESB:R (so we've been told) and without it interfering with what's already happening on-screen, the only place that comes to mind where it could work seamlessly is in that wide shot of Luke's X-Wing after he crashes it - you might catch a glimpse of one scampering off-screen to the right. Otherwise, there's honestly no reason to see them.

That is exactly where I thought it could fit. And it seems like a good idea to me, as all we ever see are snakes, lizards, bats, and the "fin" of the water beast. I always thought Dagobah could use more "wildlife" so to speak, to make it feel less like a movie set.

And what better than those arachnids to make Luke think of the planet as creepy? Sure, some people think of snakes and lizards as creepy, but that just seems rather tame for a swamp planet in the Star Wars universe, in my opinion.

I'd expect to see it in ESB before ROTJ. There just isn't enough Dagobah in ROTJ it seems to fit a cameo for the creature. Besides, I'd love to see it in the background somewhere, which I'm assuming is along the lines you have planned for it, Ady? I know you said you weren't adding new sequences to the film.

I love the idea of seeing it at all. It would add SO MUCH to Luke's line "this place gives me the creeps" since Dagobah always only came across as a messy place that's just dark, not creepy.
