	* improved lightsaber effects * jizzed up space action scenes in ANH * new music in a few ANH scenes * make it look like Hamill is not holding his hand inside his sleeve under Cloud City That's my dream. Part of it may come true. Star Wars is one /LM

	-Have Han shoot first. -Make Luke's saber blue instead of green on the falcon. -Change Boba Fett's voice back to the original since it wouldn't make sense why he still sounds like his dad 24 years after he died. -Reenter Shaw as Anakin so Yoda and Ben wont be reminded daily about the face that betrayed them and they wont feel the need to beat the ever living ***** out of him. Other possible changes -Another musical number by the ewoks -Add Tatooine to ESB so Lucas can say that the planet is in all six films. -Make Boba Fett a woman -Change dialogue so we find out Ben is really Darth Vader. -Make Han Leia's other older brother. -Add lines for Lando, confirming that Mace Windu is his father. -Add Yoda farting in all of his scenes. -Make Padme a force ghost. -Credit Gilbert Gottfried as Wedge's gunner in the snowspeeder. That's all I can think of at the moment. By the way, all of the specal features stuff mentioned above all sound great, I wouldn't mind watyching all of those things. -----signature----- I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. -Susan Anthony If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy -James Madison

	-Change Boba Fett's voice back to the original since it wouldn't make sense why he still sounds like his dad 24 years after he died. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, Boba is Jango's clone, same voice, appearance everything, the clones have Jango's voice, so should Boba.

	I don't see how the ending of ROTJ could possibly be more intense. Simple. Reinstate the filmed-but-cut orders from Palpatine to Moff Jerjerrod: "Should by some miracle the Rebels manage to destroy the shield generator, [mind trick tone & hand wave] you are to turn the Death Star upon Endor and destroy it." Add in the few lines from the shooting script concerning that bit, and there you go. Puts the whole Ewok/Han & Leia fight in a new perspective, adds urgency to Luke's efforts to turn Vader and puts Lando under the gun as he races through the Death Star's interior. It also adds to the line "Give yourself to the Dark Side -- it is the only way you can save your friends" and explains the whole Executor's destruction sequence (its' crash into the station slowed down its' rotation as it turned toward Endor, giving Lando time to reach the reactor before the DS fired). -----signature----- "Impossible?

	Wow, I never knew about those lines, but they would be a perfect addition. Here's another of my ideas: In ANH, add in Star Destroyers near the Death Star and add a whole side battle where it and some ties engage part of the rebel fleet. It seems kind of weird to have the Death Star all alone. I got the idea from looking at the second of these two pictures: Plus I'm sure there must be a way to add back in some of the ANH deleted scenes. Maybe add back the Tosche Station and a shortened Biggs scene sometime after the droids are purchased somehow... But they really need to do something about Biggs' tacky choice of clothes. The colors just don't fit together at all. And maybe they should digitally remove Luke's floppy hat... -----signature----- Oh no my friend! This is a mistake! A terrible mistake!

	The star destroyers take away from their importance in ESB. Since we don't have a Death Star in the second film, we got Executor. Plus the classic X-Wing vs. TIE battle doesn't need added to. -----signature----- Host of CBC (Chapter by Chapter) for PT, CT and SFF forums and Box Office Game ROTS-DS Chapter 3: Seeds of Rebellion FOTR Chapter 29: Bilbo's Gifts TSS Chapter 17: Facts and Feathers (8/24/07)

	I'm glad I didn't buy this year's dvd set, ha ha! I'm curious though... did they add the imperial march in episode 4 ? personally I hope they'll include ALL deleted scenes in the new HD DVD box - not just the biggs/luke and cantina stuff, NO! - I'm talking of sandstorms after the battle with jabba & co, of dagobah-scenes and god knows what else there might exist!! oh yeah! - that miss piggy scene on dagobah!!!! -----signature----- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obi-Wan (ANH): "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Well, no Imperial March in ANH, but that's another thing that needs to be added. It's a very crucial theme to the Vader/Anakin story. -----signature----- Oh no my friend! This is a mistake!

	I'd like to see them touch up the lightsabers where needed... ...and if they're going to keep Hayden as the force ghost in ROTJ, I'd like to see them go back and fine-tune it a bit. -----signature----- "I was Leia's slave-boy." blushes

	It's weird. I always wanted the IM in ANH, but when I saw it on DVD, I didn't miss it for a single second. Didn't even think about it. Just the beautiful new digital image of the movie really made my day So, they did film the part with the DSII trying to destroy Endor. I agree, it would be great to have it in the movie. I wonder why they cut it? Star Wars is one /LM

	If Lucas were to release another set of DVDs, I would want the original, pre-special edition OT. On that set, he could include more bonus stuff and the DVD covers would use the theatrical poster art instead. -----signature----- "No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be. -Bram Stoker"

	Seriously, how hard would it have been to fix Luke's lightsaber on the Falcon for the 2004 DVD release? They fixed the Obi-Wan/Vader fight! That just amazes me. They really didn't try too hard with the 2004 DVD release. A non-movie thing I'd definetely want changed is the individual cases for the movies. The 2004 DVD's look really bad, they look like someone just photoshopped characters into a scene, poorly. I like the prequel DVD cases so far, but the OT ones are terrible. -----signature----- "Curious" "Frito Lay is not canon" - darth-sinister FAVORITE PT QUOTE CONTEST: http://boards.theforce.net/prequel_trilogy/b10669/24031212/p1/?0

	Yeah they are pretty dinky covers. I think that it would be nice, that considering everywhere we would have seen by Episode III, that the ROTJ celebration be extended a lot more. They probably would want to add Kashyyyk, and maybe show some specific people celebrating. I also agree that the Hayden appearance should be re-done to flow better. They probably should film his entire body, rather than just his head. Another thing I have noticed is that when the first Death Star explodes, it seems like the color gets removed so that it is a black and white explosion. They should fix that, and maybe add some kind of smaller external explosions to it so it doesn't look like it just "pops". In a similar sense to the way we could see the explosions approaching the MF in ROTJ, the first Death Star should have some signs of destruction before it explodes. And maybe they should add larger chunks of debris as well. Also, the should add more aliens to the OT, especially in the Rebel forces, like a few Mon Calimari and Sullostians. -----signature----- Oh no my friend! This is a mistake! A terrible mistake!
