First, thanks for sending me the links. Secondly, I really liked this edit. Though I've seen ROTJ countless times, you actually had me wondering what was going to happen next with the editing. Considering the quality of the fan-made films you worked with, I thought the end result was a really unique and interesting version.

I did have 2 suggestions:

- Jabba's subtitles: Instead of saying "Surprise" or "We fooled you," how about something more mean-spirited? Like, "Well, what a touching reunion. Too bad it's not going to last." Or maybe dialogue suggesting Jabba knew it as Leia all along.

- Boba Fett's demise: When Fett is fired upon, the viewer is seeing it from his point of view, looking up. When Fett is hit, is it possible to see his inner viewscreen crack or go static, then just fade to black? If you leave it at that, the viewer gets the same impression of what happened. But without showing the body, the eternal question could still be there if Fett made it out alive.

All in all, nicely done. I'm in the 501st, do you mind if I give out a few copies of this?
