If you were George Lucas...
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.

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.

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.
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..
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.

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...
