- replace all television screens with 3D projected hologram touch screens
- replace bulky headsets with bluetooth earbuds
- turn all vehicles into hover cars
- add designer labels to clothing like Fila, Puma, Abocrobie and Fitch
- add a "Bar scene"
- give some people jet packs
- give the lizard a talking part
- wings on to the monkeys
- give THX a humorous, alien, computer generated sidekick
- replace the all computers in that computer room with a MACBOOK

That would improve the vision of this movie. [sarcasm]

Anything else?

- replace all scenes of violence with Greedo shooting first
- replace the entire soundtrack with Coldplay
- replace the bald look with mullet haircuts because the bald look is so dated
- replace Donald Pleasance with Jar Jar Binks
- change the title to "THX Ele11en 3hirty 8ight"

I seriously hope Lucas is not reading this thread. You never know.....

- when THX is surrounded and getting zapped in the 1st detention area, replace one police robot with Jengo Fett.

Replace all of the police officers' stun sticks with lightsabres. They already sound like lightsabres.

replace the whole movie with footage of Lucas cutting up all his movies and stirring the bits in a chemical toilet.

- extend the scene of the controllers messing with the mixing board to include dialog about re-editing already edited footage of video projections "because than can, not because they should"

- put all kinds of crazy colors on all the walls so they match the multi-colorful cars... or make all the cars one color dull gray... or SOMETHING so they match each other rather than pointing out a drastic, stark contrast by having colorful cars in this colorless, dull, gray white world. But I'm sure the script was written like that, that was always his first vision of the film. (Ha)

- replace the OHM diety picture with Howard The Duck (Oooh... burn!)

- add some Mexicans, Chinese, Jewish, British, and homosexuals so it will have wider sales appeal

- instead of buying little colored boxes, have the commodities consist of only figurines from Willow and to tie in with a huge warehouse sale

- make Chewbacca the tall leader of the Shell Dweller people/monkeys

- at the end right before the last robot gives up and climbs back down, have that robot yell, "NOooooOOOOOO!!!"

Insert a shot of the Wookie the guy heard on the radio ran over.

Deny the existance of all of the original versions of his films. And please keep reworking them over every few years when even more technology comes out.

After watching his "remake" version (and not knowing it was this new crap before watching it), I couldn't believe the film looked so advanced (and out of place) in places for 1971. Then I found out why <shudder>. After watching this travesty, I think Lucas' mama should edit his birth.
