Well, the Hayden change with as a ghost makes sense to me. I mean its not like a failure or completely SILLY like Greedo Shoots First(my only problem with the SPECIAL EDITION edits).

Personally, the new ending is kind of.....I don't know.....uncomfortable. If you're Luke do you really want to be taking fatherly advice from some kid who looks younger than you. Something tells me he was in search for a father throughout the series, not some disturbed looking teenager.

A small group to represent a whole galaxy, right............
So showing what the Alliance has been struggling for (the galaxy's freedom) for so long actually achieved in the series' finale is really that offensive of an idea?

I guess the fact that it makes no sense is no problem for you huh? An entire Galactic Empire just folds up and calls it a day, on the very same day that the Rebels won a single battle, a battle that was in a backwater region of the Universe at a secret instillation. The moment that battle was won, every single Moff, Admiral, and Storm Trooper in the entire Galactic Empire just threw up their hands and said, "Well damn, I guess them Gungans be free." and they took their 10,000 Star Destroyers and went home. Right.....................

I don't think those celebrations were actually supposed to be taking place "36 seconds" after the Battle of Endor. Do people actually expect the movie to last another say month so that the celebrations could be shown after a realistic amount of time has passed?

Maybe the rest of the planets all have CNN and Wolf Blitzer announced that the Emperor was dead.

But if you read the novels, the empire still lurks around the galaxy for awhile longer. Yeah, yeah. I know we're supposed to ignore the expanded universe, but blah! (sorry, erisi.) Hell in the books the Empire is still pretty solid 4 years after Jedi! The way they had it in the New Jedi just doesn't work, how did all these Worlds even know what happened? I also refuse to live in a World without Erisi Dlarit. I don't get it. Both Sith were dead, how could the Empire continue? Who was in charge?

Maybe the rest of the planets all have CNN and Wolf Blitzer announced that the Emperor was dead. The only person who actually knew he was dead was Luke. So as he was flying back to Endor, dead Vader and all, he probably sent a text message letting everyone know Palpatine was gone. And considering everyone had to get out of harms way from falling debris, find a place on Endor to park their ships (a difficult feat, what with the trees and all), change clothes and load up those fireworks on the X-wings, it could've been a day before the celebration kicked off. But it better not have been more than a day, because unlike everyone else (except for Wedge, who can't even put down his helmet), Luke hadn't even changed his clothes for the party.

Perhaps Hogan is actually a member of the Sith. If so, it would explain how he lifted the thousand pound Andre into the air at Wrestlemania III. And maybe it's true the big guy died three days later, and Hogan just used his Sith powers to make us believe he lived for six more years.

I've always thought that the Anakin ghost at the end should have been Sebastian Shaw as when Vader chucked Palpatine over the edge and the mask came off he reverted back to the light, Darth Vader ceased to be and he was Anakin again so thats the form he should've appeared as but as if he'd been a jedi, i.e. jedi robes, limbs intact, no burns. After all, the Obi-Wan and Yoda ghosts were old looking not them when they were younger. But now I think maybe he should be young Anakin as that was before he slaughtered the younglings and all the other nefarious stuff he did as Lord Vader, so maybe its correct that his force-ghost form should be him before all that stuff happened.

Truth be told Jedi could have ended much differently had producer Gary Kurtz ( [ftp]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kurtz[/ftp]) kept collaborating with Lucas.
Here's an interesting interview with Kurtz where he talks about how Jedi could have been a different kind of movie. [ftp]http://movies.ign.com/articles/376/376873p1.html[/ftp]

Return of the Jedi is my favorite. The Ewoks are great and so if The Emperor and Bib Fortuna.

I hear there is another ending were the Fire Marshal of Endor shuts down the Ewok party cause Luke did not get a permit before he cremated Darth Vader.
