Alderaan explosion, some of the Battle of Yavin (but not a lot of it), the Sandcrawler, the Millennium Falcon taking off, Vader’s lightsaber correction, the Millennium Falcon being tracked by that dude, [the new Yavin Base shot](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/9d/Yavin_4_Temple.png/revision/latest?cb=20121227220518, and one of the new Cloud City shots are all shots I just prefer.

Those are all ‘good’ SE changes to me, so I don’t think you’d need two versions.

As for how long it should run, I’d say let your bladder be your guide - anything running over 2.5 hours is pushing it.

Yeah but what if he’s old like me? 30 minutes isn’t much of a movie.

Okay so he’ll need to release 3 versions.

For me though, while it rehashes a lot of scenes from Star Wars (the cantina bit being the worst and most unneeded offender), it wasn’t such a big deal.

Was the bar they go to really seen as a rip-off of the bar scene in Star Wars?
I’ve only seen it once, but I don’t remember anything from that scene that copies the one in Star Wars and I was fully expecting it at that point in the movie.
I’m guessing people who have this complaint don’t go to bars.

I think it’s just the general idea of our heroes going to a bar to find a ship at around the halfway point in the movie. If they’d included the Unkar Plutt scene where his arm gets ripped off, that would richly deserve the rehash accusation. As it is, it just feels a bit derivative.

Idea: A sensible Han Solo rescue attempt plan...
Time

I’m glad people like the gas idea!
It would require some VFX work to sell the idea. I made a quick mockup to show how it might look in action:

Password: gas

I’d prefer a bit more swirling and eddying gas in the first panning shot, so that Boushh is basically wading through it and can hardly see a thing. This makes her bumping into the chimes a lot more believable. Then it could stay quite dark and gassy until the shot of Han in carbonite, where the gas starts clearing dramatically.

Well this is weird.

Earlier today @realDonaldTrump’s account was “inadvertently” deactivated due to human “error” by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

FTFY
