Chewie’s introduction in the cell is one of the few changes I’d really like to see in even a ‘soft’ fanedit like this. It’s basically a plot hole that Chewie isn’t captured, since 3PO says ‘Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never returned from this awful place’.
To make it work…
To make it “work” all Ady has to do is remove the audio “and poor Chewbacca” so Threepio says ‘Lando Calrissian never returned from this awful place’ and wala! … no more plot hole.
Why does it not work? Threepio is a freakin blabbermouth. They’re not going to tell him their actual plan. Threepio only assumes Chewie never returned either because he’s out of the loop on what has actually been happening or because they straight up lied to him.
