Ewoks and the Battle of Endor are a Vietnam allegory, pleb.

>yfw you can't

Luke and Vader die, Han pilots the falcon and an heros to destroy the Death Star.

>this also saves the force awakens

>han solo is dead
>replace ewoks with wookies
>make the death star 2 appear more incomplete so it doesnt look so similar to anh

RotJ is the only good Star Wars movie.
ANH Leia is hotter than Slave Leia though.

They never go back for Han

Increase slave fetish scenes and sexy bondage gear by 30%, replace Ewoks with original Wookiee idea, change abdolutely nothing about the Vader fight, have Han do a Humphrey-Bogart-Claude-Raines Casablanca send-off before closing on a shot of Luke in the darkness with his dead father, surrounded by distant, spooky visages of Force Ghost Vader, Obi Wan, and Yoda, more in fitting with the trippiness and spookfactor of Empire's ghosts than Return as we know it now. Leave Luke looking at his hands, clenching both, and looking up to the space debris. Any good ending implies the weight of an entre galaxy now rests on Luke.

Just replace the damn Ewoks with Wookiees so the ground battle on the Forest Moon isn't so laughable. It doesn't have to be Chewbacca's homeworld, it's a big fucking galaxy, every species but humans doesn't have to be found on only one planet.

If Lucas' understanding of Vietnam was that the VC fought using sticks & stones rather than modern weapons and skilled guerrilla tactics honed from years of fighting the Japanese & French and the support of the NVA, he's dumber than I thought.

remove ewoks and jabba palace

>sarlaac
>vader v luke
> space battle
>coked out leia
> ties it all in a nice little bow

other than that it's better than prequels and the new movies

absolute kino

No Death Star 2

Have Death Star 2 be a giant cube instead, replace ewoks with CGI bugs, have the victory song at the end be dubstep

Keep Boba Fett alive and not use him for comedy.
They escape and he hunts them down. they finish him off as a final boss on the tree world during the battle.

The entire movie would need to be different and not the conclusion to the series but instead just another chapter in a larger space opera story. SW really didn't need to be a trilogy.

>Boba Fett kills Han by Vader's orders
This also gives Luke another reason to kill his father and turn to the dark side.
>Leia isn't related to Luke
>No ewoks
>No death star 2
>no Jabba's palace
>more serious tone

They should've gone darker and darker.

>>no Jabba's palace

Jabba's palace is gold, keep it
Give Han something to do on Endor and have him sacrifice himself so the rebels win
Wookies instead of Ewoks
Expand on the dark side and show Luke actually being tempted by Vader
On that note, expand on the light side and show Vader actually convinced by Luke to save him rather than changing his mind over 2 seconds at the end
Definitely no Death Star 2

Fucking Ewoks

instead of death star 2 just an all out fight with the main fleet over coruscant while vader leads luke through the streets to the emperor's palace.

>skilled guerrilla tactics
>2 million gooks dead compared to 50,000 amerifats
LEL

Remove Han Solo (have him turn out to be dead in the carbonite when Leia comes to get him at Jabba's palace) and make the ewoks wookiees. This will create extra time for Luke and Boba Fett to have a showdown at the sarlacc pit (with Luke killing him to demonstrate his progression as a jedi knight) and make the Endor (now Kashyyyk) battle better. This will also give us more time with Luke. ALSO have Luke and Leia not be brother and sister and have some romance between them.

Fix this.

here you g0

>no deathstar 2
>imperial capital instead
>jabba intro is only to show leia getting caught, and luke showing up, the rest are already there
>maybe don't do the whole sibling thing
>han dies at some point crucial to the plot
>keep the vader/luke/emperor stuff
>do the ewoks as originally intended with wookiees instead

>han dies
>luke and leia get together without realising they're related
>explains why rylo ken is retarded

That works perfectly because Han doesn't really do much in RotJ anyway.

lmao

>Definitely no Death Star 2
It was planned to end on the Imperial homeworld but it would have been to expensive.

replace the Ewoks with enslaved Wookies.

movie fixed.

Actually follow through on the situation set up at the end of the previous film: Luke is mutilated and demoralized, with everything he's been led to believe and fought for based on a lie. Vader didn't lie to Luke: Kenobi and Yoda did (or did by omission). Clinging for life on the weathervane under Cloud City, Luke calls out for Kenobi -- Kenobi doesn't answer. Later, Vader calls to Luke and Luke responds.

Luke should have spent at least the first two-thirds of ROTJ as an ambiguous figure (as his costuming and physical non-hologram on-screen introduction suggests) -- he does heroic things at least part of the time, but to the growing worry and even horror of Leia, Han, Lando, and the others. There should be a real fear about whether he is turning evil.

He should have a real confrontation with Obi-Wan and Yoda, and a real temptation by Vader and The Emperor (something enticing, rather than just despair at his friends' losing the war).

This would have meant that someone else (most likely Leia) should have been the focal character for much of the film, to cover the parts in which Luke is too remote and frightening.

They should have stuck to the original plan in which Leia isn't Luke's sister, and only Vader (and possibly Boba Fett) are the main villains and are defeated. The Emperor (and Luke's actual sister) would have come in later installments.

But then Marcia had to go and fuck the Skywalker Ranch contractor and it all got wrecked forever...

...I meant to write 'he does heroic things at least part of the time, but with a rather sinister, ruthless element of overkill to his heroism, displaying powers like the force choke and other dark-side skills that alarm and alienate his friends.

>But then Marcia had to go and fuck the Skywalker Ranch contractor and it all got wrecked forever...
?

>Marcia had to go and fuck the Skywalker Ranch contractor

lol is this true

Marcia Lucas had an affair with a guy George had hired to work on a building for Skywalker Ranch (which was then planned to be a much more ambitious facility, to be financed going forward by the ongoing Star Wars movies).

George and Marcia had been wanting to have a baby, but Marcia had refused to (to the point of taking birth control steadily) until George reduced his involvement with Star Wars to spend more time with her and their new baby.

She then not only had an affair, but she then got pregnant by the other man. The divorce was a certainty, and Marcia was going to take half (and therefore scuttle Lucas' plans for the Ranch as a filmmakers' commune, as well as future Star Wars movies).

That was when George decided to cash out of Star Wars, and half-assed the story of Jedi to just wrap it up as quickly as possible.

Marcia Lucas later divorced the other guy (and admitted that he had only been after her for her money) and so a major portion of her half of Star Wars went to him. (This is a key but under-reported part of the rumor as to why George Lucas has buried the original versions of the old films: that some of the money might go to the guy who broke up his marriage).

How can someone be this wrong?

that is some shit.

bitches are conniving as fuck. no wonder he had the Marcia Lucas building at USC torn down.

this plus ewoks are now wookies
>someone else (most likely Leia) should have been the focal character for much of the film
plus leia uses intrigue to rise from sex slave to bribing some mercenaries, assassinating jabba the hut and intimidating his pig guards using her royal status before freeing han

Have Leia wear the slave bikini for the whole movie.

-Trim the Jabba's Palace scenes.
-Kill Han at some point.
-Don't make Leia and Luke siblings.
-show B-Wings bombing shit.
-Make Vader's turn to the Dark Side a little more believable. The part where he meets Luke after he turns himself in just seemed a little uncharacteristic of the Vader we had known up to that point.


The Emperor was already lurking in the background after Empire Strikes Back. I don't know if kind of holding him off for a whole additional movie would have been that satisfying.

George's personal life is so fucked up. None of his children are his - all adopted or in the case of the latest one, from surrogacy. He really desperately wanted children, but Marcia was like "Fuck no". And get this, Marcia eventually DID have children, with that guy she had the affair with.

Imagine that - your wife refuses, flat out, to have kids with you, but as soon as she shacks up with some handyman she pushes out his sprog. That is so fucked up. Think of the scares that would inflict on your psyche.

NO EWOKS

get rid of Leia-Han romance -- so gross

less smarmy Luke + Vader love story

make Emperor more lethal

the whole Jabba thing... disgusting... tone it down

open the story up to the entire galaxy

True: The Emperor could/should certainly have been in it, but just not completely defeated (Lucas' original plan -- though of course it wasn't very fleshed out) was that Luke was going to defeat Vader, then spend the next three movies finding his long-lost sister, training her/with her to become Jedi, and then having an ultimate confrontation with The Emperor (who, at least according to early Ralph McQuarrie concepts, was such an advanced wielder of The Force that he was a semi-abstracted shape-shifter).

Lucas already did.

Yeah, that was mostly the carpet bombing. We dropped more bombs on Vietnam than we did in all of WW2. And it did very little to reduce the NVA & VC's combat capability for all that. Just killed a bunch of villagers and rice farmers. Two years after the peace was signed, they just steamrolled South Vietnam like it was nothing.

Remove the special edition bullshit and you're set.

weird I just finished watching it (after watching IV and V in the past 2 weeks).

anyways I found the first act to be out of place. It has no purpose, but to free Han Solo. Waste of time - that's pretty much 30 minutes for some random adventure in an adventure.

retarded ewoks of course.

otherwise is actually pretty good. best light saber duel for sure. star wars fanshits just need to avoid certain triggers (also Anaking Skywalker at the end) and you can enjoy it.

>was such an advanced wielder of The Force that he was a semi-abstracted shape-shifter

considering what whores LucasFilm are now in mining McQuarrie's unused concept art for ideas, this is probably what Snoke is.

>no death star 2
stopped right there

No tense initial approach on the death star only to realise the shield is still up, the rebels were meant to fly into it.

No epic space battle where the rebel fleet is trapped between the imperial fleet and supposedly non operational death star.

No flying into the superstructure to destroy the reactor core.

No Executor bridge being destroyed and it crashing into the death star.

Fuck you user. Im glad you will never direct movies.

Also the closing shot of ROTJ is awful, an awkwardly-composed half-hearted publicity group photo -- for a final shot of the saga (as it was intended to be at the time), it's weirdly lazy and terrible. I would say it's the worst closing shot of the series, but the poor execution of Force Awakens' final shot clinches that title.

Remove the Ewok comic relief scenes during ground battle of Endor. Done.

This is the best star wars movie though

have Luke lose to Vader. this makes his turn to the light more poignant as its coming from a position of strength.

It's a great movie that doesn't need fixing. That said, if Lucas had stuck with his original plan of having it take place on the Wookie homeworld instead of Endor, it'd be a better movie.

give darth vader 2 light sabers

No need for Sarlaac pit or barges. Could have just had the breakout scene with Luke revealing his light saber when he fought the Rancor and used it to kill the beast.

Boba Fett gets killed by blind Han Solo in a tense stand off while Han is attempting to escape with the others. The event leaves Han acting smug and cocky. Blind luck or power of the force?

Literally everything else is fine but Ewoks should be replaced with Wookiee

People who hate this movie are idiots. The ten-minute sequence with Luke,Vader and the Emperor and the final duel made the whole movie a kino and not a flick. Watching ROTJ is like watching Wrestlemania. The show might have shitty moments, but an epic main event can elevate the whole show. Thats what ROTJ was, the main event made the movie a kino

This.

Other than that it seems fine to me man. Good fun movie.

This should've been the ending shot.
