Two suggestions:
- You should find a way to cut Leia remembering her mother Padmé, who died in childbirth.
Wait to see Hal’s or Q2’s edits of Ep III, you might change your mind about it…
edit: I like most of the ideas for a recut of Ep VI. I like this Episode, it’s very entertaining and fun, with some great sequences, but it can be improved to a higher level with much of its silliness cut down. Han Solo is pretty damaged in the theatrical cut (Ford’s performance is awful), the cutlist seems to do it right. I’ll definitely watch your v1 when available.
I don’t really mind the SE material, I even think the opening to be more enjoyable that way, so I hope you’ll keep much of it, Sarlacc included.
