Something You Would Change About Your Favorite Star Wars Movie?

ANH is my second favorite, and I don't like Leia calling Chewie a "walking carpet,"

She was trying to assert control by being specist; whether she really believed in her slur could be up for questioning, as ANH has Imperials treating Chewbacca as some "disgusting" creature ("...this....thing?"), so Leia--despite her freedom-fighter mentality, was extending her full respect to Wookies,

While I appreciate Anakin ultimately renouncing the Dark Side, I don't think he should have joined Yoda and Obi-Wan as a Force Ghost; I think that's too much redemption.

I've always believed Vader did not deserve that kind of redemption, since he was still trying to corrupt his son's own soul, and had no intention of turning back at the last moment if Luke turned. It would have been evil business as usual, only with Vader ruling with his son.

In fact, I'd prefer not to end with any Force Ghosts at all, and to keep the focus on the living heroes

Obi-Wan and Yoda were the structure around Luke and his journey, and probably knew him better than anyone else, so it made sense for their Force Ghosts to watch their star pupil/friend return after succeeding in the very task he was intended to complete, while restoring strength to the Light Side of the Force..

I also think Anakin telling Luke to tell Leia "you were right about me" is too much. You murdered her parents and family, a**hole! The scene plays better if he doesn't talk after the mask is removed:

Agreed; Luke may have been "right" about some spark of good in Vader, but that does not erase his decades of mass murder, including--as you point out--his direct involvement with the death of her family.

That reminds me -- I'd take the Jabba scene out.

It undercuts his reveal in ROTJ and is completely redundant given that half the dialogue is repeated in the scene with Greedo, some verbatim. I don't see any upside to including it.

^This.

The Jabba ANH scene was pointless, but not as pointless as the shameless fanwanking addition of Fett to that scene.

Or it was something to engage the audience and make them laugh. A lot of people laughed. Wookiees aren't actually real, you know.

Audiences are not either. Or so I've been told
