OverNeith writes "An excellent cartoon film showing how SW:Episode IV would have ended in a non-Lucas reality. Enjoy!" From the cartoon: "Han: Boy, you said it Chewie. I was this close to going back and helping those people."

How Star Wars episode IV should have ended...
[Inside the rebel base]
Rebel Commander (briefing troops): Men normally with this information we would take time to make a more intricit plan of attack. However, rather than transmitting the technical readouts of the imperial battlestation and keeping our hidden loctaion safe...Princess Leia insisted on coming back, knowing full well that her ship was being tracked. In short, we have one chance to make this right and it's all Prince Leia's fault.
[On the death star]
Death star Piolet: Sir we have reached the planet Yavin. The rebel base is on a moon orbitting on the other side of the planet. We will be in firing range in 30 minutes.
Death star commander: I say we're in range now. Fire.
-Beeping noises-
-Animation of the death star blowing up the planet-
[Rebel base]
Rebel commander: Well so much for that idea.
[Millenium Falcon]
Chewie: Raaaar.
Han: Boy, you said it Chewie. I was this close to going back and helping those people.

The end.
[Diagobah (sp?)]
Yoda: Let him beat you you had to. What will I do now? Go crazy I will.
Obi wan (as a ghost): Oh get over yourself.

My thoughts on the subject:
Look if you remember the first time you saw star wars...you didn't hate it. Maybe you have what it's become but what percentage of movies that were made in the 70's would even pass the giggle test if someone tried to release them today? The plot and special effects were something that had never been done before. Sure after 30 years the plot didn't turn out to be bulletproof. All a movie has to do to be a good movie is hold your attention and entertain for the duration it's on the screen. You know what? All the star wars movies (except episode 1) did that for me.
