The Godfather stuff wasn't an extended edition IIRC, just an unnecessary reorganization into chronological order.

DuracellEnergizer posted:The only way Xizor could be believably added to any of the films is as a background character. The question, though, is which background would it make sense for him to be present at?
Drewton posted:A list I already posted for my special edition ideas was quite controversial in another thread - not that I blame anyone for discussing it, I'd just rather not discuss them again because I believe it's more just varying opinions, something that can't really be debated. I will say, though, that while I think Hayden Christensen as Anakin in ROTJ makes sense and was delighted when first seeing it, I agree with other posters about removing the Jabba scene in ANH. Jabba's character's quite weak compared to the crime lord we know in ROTJ. And I couldn't see him going all the way to a cantina to find someone instead of having him brought to the palace. I think most would agree that the lighting could be improved in most shots, so here's a few edits I've done as tests to make everything brighter and more vibrant.
