That last modest proposal wound up rather more modest than I had planned.
Let's try again.

Having just seen a different version of "Once Upon a Time in America", I was
reminded of someone's earlier posting which postulated what a Star Wars movie
directed by Sergio Leone would be like.  How about a Star Wars movie directed
by Orson Welles?  Why not

Luke could be dissastisfied with what he knows about his father, so he goes
on a quest through the galaxy looking for the real Darth Vader.  Everyone he
meets would give him a different impression of what Vader was really like.
Welles could even do a flashback to Vader's death and reveal that his last
word was really "Rosebud".  Think how hard it will be for even a Jedi like
Luke to turn up a sled out of all the garbage in the universe.  Perhaps the
Emperor's true hold on Vader was that he held the sled for ransom!  Perhaps
Annakin Skywalker will be unable to become one with the Force (or whatever)
until the sled is recovered.  Maybe Han Solo could be sorely tempted to sell
the sled for megacredits to some intergalactic souvenir collector.  (Extra
credit trivia question:  Who currently owns Rosebud?)  We might have something
here.  (Or, perhaps, not...)
