I love arguing over star wars.
I'm gonna start this off with suggestions for improving Jedi.
Two major things:
1. Jabba doesn't live on taptooine. He lives in a space station at the centre of densely dangerous space (think "reaver space" from serenity. Or Vger. Or the walled city of kowloon) not only would that be a cooler place to infiltrate, it would solve a lot of the problems of the prequels
2. There is not death star 2. Not every goal has to be about destroying a big weapon. They've already done that. Instead, the rebels will be destroying the empire slave network. This battle will centre around the wookie home world.
If there was ONE thing I would change about ESB it's this:
I would add this line said by han: "Bespin. It's a pretty long haul, but I think we have enough fuel and food to get there. Well princess, I hope you don't get easily bored"
Now, if I were to propose a much more drastic choice in the OT.....
A lot of the problems with jedi is that there isn't anything for anyone to do, except luke. That whole movie could be about his confrontation with Vader. Everyone is is kind of a pale imitation of their former selves. So here is what I propose: kill Luke at the end of ESB...and have Leia bare witness
Here me out.
This would fuel Han and Leia for a proper return of the Jedi. Han would rise to the occasion as a true general of the rebel alliance and Leia would become the true Jedi who will take down Vader and the emperor.
What I like about this is that the true hero is not who we first suspected. Luke was impatient. He was not in control. This would be his downfall. Also, there would be a real reason for Leia to be his sister (frankly, it always seemed that they did that to avoid a love triangle)
Thoughts? Other ideas?
Bring it forth and we can tear it down!
