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.
thanks, that means a lot. i'm surprised the EU purists haven't stoned me. anyway,

-add one of Durges' many helmets and a Qui-Gon hologram to Obi-wan's pad

-finally, digitally add three tombstones to the homestead, from ep II
ESB

-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.
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.
