I wouldn't change a thing about the original trilogy we got (Unaltered, before special editions). The only exception would be to replace the ewoks in return of the jedi with a technologically limited species that could more believably beat the stormtroopers, and beef up the Return of the Jedi story a just a little more (With regards to story strength and emotional depth)
Yeah, as iconic as they've become, I inwardly sigh at the Ewoks' existence. Blame the production process, but it's still a silly part of the series. If they had actually gone with Wookiees as first conceived, it'd be much more believable. But I think the Christmas Special helped dash those plans.

I dunno, if wookies had been in it and kicked the shit out of stormtroopers and helped saved the day, it probably would have redeemed them from the holiday Special farce.
It might have had something to do with the fact wookies would have cost more as to why George decided to go for a bunch of teddy bears as the force that defeated "the best troops" of the empire
I never got George's objection to using Wookiees. Just because they'd be a primitive kind of species, why is it impossible for one or two Wookiees that through slavery wound up in a more technological environment and prosper there. It seems like George equals intelligence with a primitive society. It'd be like saying a Masai from a very traditional village can never learn to use a computer. Sometimes George can be a little dense.
So yes, Wookiees would have been much better. And a cuddly wookiee toy would certainly have sold, I am sure of that.
A more convincing army of Imperial troops in general. For the newest special edition, I'm thinking they should digitally re-film the entire trilogy using Final Fantasy's CGI. We'll be wowed and creeped out at the same time.

See this is why I should be in charge of more things.

"Princess Leia. You are not, enunciating enough. Tell me, please, where might I find the location of this thing that you call a "base"? Hmm?
