This is a rather silly thread, basically if you were George Lucas, what changes would there have been? For me, the Death Star would have looked like this.

that's... disturbing!!!


"hey look a smile!!!!"

"that's not a smile... that's a BIG SMILE!!!"

I'd remove all the english text from a new hope and fix the lightsabers (if he didn't already for the DVD) in ANH. I'd fix the splotches on the emperor's head in ROJ. For consistencies sake, I'd refilm with Ian McDiarmond in ESB and Hayden Christiensen in ROJ. I'd completely revamp the ending to ROJ in a way to big to describe in one post. I'd also rerechord and rearrange all the soundtracks to sound better and less repetative (especially ANH, wait he already did). I'd also add in all the deleted scenes from the movies if applicable, filming several with jimmy smitts. finally, I'd make this version available but still have all versions of the film available to be sent out by fan request. An online request along with $5 american would give you any version of any star wars film ever made.

Now that last one is a kick-ass idea.

go ahead!

Nice

Seriously, Lucas should only release the archivals to stores. then have any and all versions of the films (wide and full screen) available on the official site for $5 plus shipping per DVD, have box sets of Ewoks (including those 2 horrible movies) and droids available at $20 plus shipping, and the holiday special at 50 Cents plus shipping

I would make Episode 0. It would take place from when Yoda was born, through his teen years, and to the point where he becomes a Master Jedi. There would be no humans, just aliens and droids. And I'd let Peter Jackson direct it.

I would do the New Jedi Order series with Yuuzhan Vong. It would rock and it would be different. And maybe use different characters than the original series so it stands out as its own series and not a continuation.

imho EpI is Ep0, better make an Ep1 than

just don't put a cyborg named Darth Rage in it, or superdork will sue you for copyright infringement

I would never, ever, EVER have changed the cantina scene where Han shot Greedo. That was possibly the worst mistake Lucas ever made, aside from casting Hayden Christianson as Anakin and Natalie Portman as Padme.
I would also de-cornify the Death Star superlaser somewhat. And I'd change the bridge scene on Endor. I love Star Wars, but that is one scene that is just painful for me to watch for some reason.. It's just... corny. And I can't help noticing that Carrie Fisher's voice sounds funny..

ooo and elves!!!

j/k

Actually I have to say that that wouldn't be too bad of an idea... The CGI characters have better acting ability than the real ones nowadays!

Oh yeah, here's something i would do...keep Yoda as a puppet!

yoda is a pupet...... unless your talking about the prequel trilogy

Maybe she was still strung out, like she was during the filming of ESB.

Now, for my first official act as George Lucas:

I would use all my powers...and all my skills...to remove any trace of Jar-Jar and his damnable race from any and all incarnations of the SW universe.

I would airbrush Jake Lloyd out of episode I and replace him with a computer-generated image or a puppet (or perhaps even a carboard cut-out).

I would apologize to the world for including those two abominable presences in my films, and beg for their forgiveness.

I would hire some Oscar-winning script writers and polishers to make my next screenplay better than the previous five put together.

I would not tease my audience by making them wait more than a year for ANYTHING.

I would issue an inaugural DVD box set with every edition of every film, and would include over 48 hours worth of bonus footage, interviews, deleted scenes, parodies, tributes, blooper reels, behind-the-scenes features, etc, etc.

I would console myself over losing Linda Rondstadt by getting two or three really hot trophy girlfriends every couple of weeks.

I would continue making kick-ass SW films until I croaked, and I would ensure that someone would continue making them as they should be made long after I croaked.

If i were George Lucas, I'd pull a charlie chaplin and sleep with all my young, attractive female actors.

IF i Were George Lucas i'll remake all the starwars films and cut the dumb crap out and mix all the episodes to one big film.

I would probably change nothing to episodes 4,5 & 6. But there is something about the new ones which don't tickle my fancy

for instance the first movie is in reference to explaining bassically the law and powers of the galaxy. The second is adapting the love story of Anakin & Padme...

Discos - tsk tsk...

Thats a good point. Episode 2 was too long, not enough story in it. They could have trimmed that a half hour or so, easily.

IF I were George Lucas... I would have made another Holday special!

If I were George Lucas, I would Never, Never, NEVER have created JarJar Binks. Otherwise I would have had him kiled off in ep 2.


I would also not have made the prequals such poor quality

change the anakin/padme love story. oh, and yes, jar jar should die.

if anything, the movies should have been longer with all the character developement left back in.
ok, if i were george lucas... I think i'd change all the films but i'll begin with ROJ, hope this won't take too many posts...chronilogically....
-Vader Telepathy scene restored
-Refilm Boba Fett's scenes during the musical number with Temura Morrison Helmetless, his face scarred just like in ESB infinities.
-sandstorm scene restored
-replace Mon Mothma with Genevieve O'reilly in old make up
-digital yoda, leaves clothes when he disappears.
-the rebel fleet is digitally expaneded with many, many more ships.
-while several ships leave for endor, the rest of the fleet scatters in different directions...
-restore Vader's confrontation with the red guard.
-rerecord the sith choir to make it sound more like the phantom menace with chanting.
-rerecord all percussion in the movie
-add vocal whispers from duel of the fates to the scene where luke is hiding from vader and is tempted by the dark side.
-add a soprano part to the choral theme when Luke lunges at Vader
-as the attack converges on the death star, right before luke confronts Palpatine, add a new scene of a space battle over coruscant faught by A-wings and some new alliance ships with the sith starship theme playing.
-Replace Sebastion Shaw with an aged Hayden Christensen in all of his scenes.
-after han an leia kiss and make up use the unused version of the force theme (heard on sound track) for a new collage that first features gungans and rebel troops restoring the ball of peace to an alter in Theed, than cut to piles of stormtroopers lying all over the senate building as mon mothma is escorted by two rebel troops onto a balcony in the old senate building. An aging Mas Ammeda and Sly Moore are seen being escorted by two super battledroids in the back ground. the music then seagues into duel of the fates. First we see Rebel troops and battle droids charging an imperial army on one of the episode III planets. one of them crushing General Grievous' face mask with his feet

long discarded since the clone wars. next we see wookies cheering and throwing down their bonds on Kashyyk as Rebel troops rescue them. cut to Geonosis where several Geonoseons run and wave their weapons triumphantly as an entire fleet of star destroyers is incinerated in a low canyon below. Cut to kamino where the denizens celebrate and fly on air whales as Tipoca city explodes, helmetless, temura morrison faced, stormtroopers leap in the water in panic. finally as the music winds down, a small atmospheric battle is seen between x-wings and TIE's on Bespin. then cut to luke burning Vader's armor (make him dissapear before).
-During the victory montage, ad Slave I, ominousy buzzing over the Tatooine celebration and add Mon Mothma giving an unheard speech on public view screens during the Coruscant liberation celebration.
-towards the end, when the spirits appear, let them first appear as Hayden Christensen, burned and in a sith cowl, Obi-Wan, old as Alec Guiness, and an aged Yoda. As Luke looks at them, they grow youthful, with a young Yoda, a young, beardless Obi-wan in his prime, and a long haired anakin ala epsiode III. then have the rest of the Jedi and Younglings appear as ghosts behind them, with Qui-Gon and Mace having prominance.
-at the end of the credits extend the last chord, with the stings section, fading into a flute. that then leads into a short bittersweet rendition of Across the stars followed by Anakin's theme.
technical stuff:for god's sake, CGI the rancor and the walkers. fix the blotches on Palpatine's head. and finally, make vader disappear as he dies, changing the music in this scene to a rendition of first, anakin's theme, then a sad seague into across the stars, finally climaxing on the force theme and dissolving the anakin's worry melody from episode II (played during the scene with Padme in front of the fire and by clarinet at the homestead as anakin questions about his mother).

Maybe i'll think of stuff for the rest of the movies too.

Ooh, give him a mailer on that one, I can't disagree with anything on there!

thanks, that means a lot. i'm surprised the EU purists haven't stoned me. anyway,
Star Wars Episode I:The Phantom Menace-
-Restore all the deleted scenes in the movie
-refilm the Bail Organa scenes with Jimmy Smitts and insert them back in the movie.
-digitally insert dark side adept and future imperial vizier Sate Pestage into Palpatine's senate box
Star Wars Episode II:Attack of the Clones:
-Add back all the deleted scenes, edit the mace/obi-wan dialogue slightly not to repeat or contradict the Yoda scene
-restore the scene with the lost 20
-restore all the chase scenes
-restore the boneyard scene as anakin searches for his mother
-restore the full Dooku duel
-digitally insert Sate Pestage into Palpatine's office.
-restore the droid control ship battle.
-restore the "you haven't learned anything speach

I love all your ideas Darth Jello!!

The music ones especially; I would love to hear a sadder, slower version of Across The Stars in the originals. Nice work buddie!!

ok, thank you-
ANH-
-Fix digital Jabba
-Let Han shoot first
-add back as many deleted scenes that still fit
-run JEJ's old vocal track through a reverb effect
-add one of Durges' many helmets and a Qui-Gon hologram to Obi-wan's pad
-film a scene where Bail Organa argues with Sate Pestage, Sly Moore, and Mas Amedda before they dissolve the senate. the emperor is too busy isolating himself (as described in the novel) have him observe the procession from the inside of the imperial palace (once the Jedi temple).
-as vader enters the Tantive IV, play the old imperial theme as in the original version but follow that up with the imperial march.
-add some broken battle droids to the sandcrawler
-add one or two battle droids fighting stormtroopers.
-digitally multiply the stormtroopers on the death star.
-change the brass repitions of the force theme in the final scene to the Sith spaceship theme from episodes I and II
-as Vader is spinning out of control, add some damage or sparks to his suit since he obviously wears a different one in ep V and VI
-add anakin's theme and the imperial march to Obi-Wan's speach to luke in the hut
-change all english lettering and arabic numbering to aurubish, like all the other films.
-fix lightsabers
-redub storm troopers as Termura Morrison
-Redo the rebel radar so it looks like the one used by the CIS in episode II
-speed up and spruce up obi-wan's duel, adding a slow dirge variation of duel of the fates.
-finally, digitally add three tombstones to the homestead, from ep II

ESB
-add the wampa invasion subplot and threepio gag back in the film.

-replace the clive revill voiced woman with Ian Mcdiarmid and add the sith chant to the scene.
-add some battle droids fighting the walkers
-change some of the overdone renditions of the Imperial march during the chase with the falcon to Kamino's theme, and the sith spaceship theme
-add the following trophies to Vader's walls:Padme's Necklace, Asajj's Sabers, Dooku's Saber, His Sith robe from episode III, and Mace Windu's saber.
-digitize Yoda
-redub all storm troopers and Boba Fett with Temura Morrison
-add sith chanting to the darkside cave and change the scene so Luke is fighting Vader amongst a field of murdered Tuskens and boiling lava, with Darth Sidious, Maul, Tyrannus, Grievous, Assajj, and Darth Bane looming as spectators.
-add duel of the fates played at 60 bpm (slower) to Luke's duel with Vader.
-delete Luke's scream and instead dub a shuddering, defeated sigh.
-digitally change Luke's lips and dub the "you were lucky to get out of there line"
-in the intensity of the fight before Luke has his hand severed, dub the same monotonal choir from part of the Dooku duel, then let it segue into the Sith choir right before Luke is defeated. use an atmospheric version recorded purely digitally with no analong production for the choir track.

that's it. hope you agree.

If I were George Lucas I would publicly apologize for ever considering making the new star wars films and give up using blue screen because he can't handle or control computer graphics and incorporate it into any kind of thing without it not making sense....

better see the OT again, LSZ, it has bluescreen too

Jello: Nice list. I'd actually like to see many of those things put into action.

So would I!! And I really, really like the addition of Padme's necklace & the tombstones...nice one!!

i just thought of one more thing, this kinda goes back to the movie Clerks and to the episode II commentaries. would anyone like to see Geonosians in spacesuits working on the death star in ROJ? add a few of them being mowed down by the millenium falcon while it's flying into the core?

I dunno... (I'm assuming you mean as they build parts of it) I might be wrong, but I think that the Death Star plans, while they did design them, ended up in the other side's hands. Unless the Geonosians switch alliances to the Republic/Empire.

i'm pretty sure they were enslaved after the separatist massacre no Mustafar....but perhaps i've said too much.

anyway, lucas said on the ep II commentary that the geonosians built the death star and that they were the innocent contractors that Dante and Randall felt sorry for in clerks.

In my little spiel, i made the assumption that the geonosians had been enslaved and that what few battledroids remained fought for the alliance.

Does he actually say they built it or that they designed it? I thought one of the points of AOTC was that Dooku tricked the Geonosians into handing the plans over to Sidious.

I would make a working C3PO...

design as far as I know... they even say "... may never find our design for the ultimate weapon"
