Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist
Time

That's a pretty good idea... Heck, with some good rotoscoping, you could do better than to just shift the sand color.

I have no idea if it's feasible, audio/video-wise, but that interchange could be shortened to

HAN: I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.
LUKE: There's nothing to see.
HAN: Convenient.

That does leave the "I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine." line a little strange, but not unsalvageable.

Does it depress you...

The Return of the King isn't monstrously long now... well, it was monstrously long to start with, but not more so now unless you choose the option of purchasing the longer extended edition of the film. The EE was made for extreme fans of the films who want to pay extra to get a bloated experience. 

To be fair, TTT:EE is a better film in its extended form.

The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie. Or is it?
Time

It's not entirely baseless though. Please, consider the following:

  • The most aliens we see are on backwater worlds, or in the Alliance
  • We never see Imperial aliens
  • The guard in the Detention Block refers to Chewie as "that thing".

 

Is the Empire inherently speciest within OT-canon? It's not explicitly stated, but it sure is easy to draw that conclusion.

B-Wings in ROTJ, editing epiphany
Time

I'd actually say you're dead wrong about the B-Wing/Y-Wing switch. The ROTJ-Y-Wing shot you posted appears to be the same window-shapes as the ANH-Y-Wing shot, only the camera is in front of the pilot, rather than behind, thus we see less of the side-windows. You can see the the corners of the side windows starting, however. The ROTJ-Y-Wing has struts coming up on the left and right sides of that screencap, while photos of the B-Wing model show that there really shouldn't be any struts there. The interior of cockpits may have changed, but I'd bet they got window-shapes pretty close to correct.
