One unused concept for Return of the Jedi would have solidified it as the best movie in the original Star Wars trilogy, overtaking Episodes IV and V.
An unused concept for Return of the Jedi would have established it as the best film in the original Star Wars trilogy. Since the release of Episode VI in 1983, Star Wars fans have agreed that the film was a satisfying conclusion to the original trilogy.
Return Of The Jedi’s Ewok Subplot Makes It The Weakest Original Trilogy Film The unused concept in question was Lucas' intention to have Wookiees inhabit the moon of Endor, something that was eventually changed to the Ewoks. While the Ewoks are not nearly as terrible as many Star Wars fans tend to insist, there is no denying that this subplot slows the pace of Return of the Jedi considerably.
Wookiees Replacing The Ewoks Would’ve Massively Improved RotJ’s Second Act One of the other ways having Wookiees over Ewoks in Return of the Jedi would have improved the film is through its second act. The first act, in which Luke, Leia, and Lando save Han from Jabba's palace, is fantastic, as is the culmination of the Second Death Star plot in the film's final moments.
On the other hand, if Lucas' original plan to include Wookiees in the film had panned out, this second act would have been massively improved. For starters, the lore of Wookiees in Star Wars is much deeper, less primitive, and more war-like than Ewoks, meaning battle later in the film would have worked perfectly. Secondly, including Wookiees in the film would have made Return of the Jedi much better by focusing on an underutilized member of the main cast: Chewbacca.
