I have no problems, really… except I still prefer the scene replacing the Death Star with Coruscant.
I have some questions: Why was the Death Star replaced by Coruscant? What purpose serves really? I mean, i dont think its a bad idea, is just that I dont get it, why that change was made??
Do you mean “why was the Death Star replaced with Coruscant” or “why was the replacement of the Death Star with Coruscant then replaced with the Death Star again?”
I like for the Death Star’s construction to still be on the drawing board at this point. I mean, it’s 18 years or so until it’s completed. That’s a long time to be working on it only to have it rebuilt bigger and better just a few years after the first one is destroyed.
But Hal ultimately liked the scene with the Death Star in it better. I just disagree.
I am of two minds regarding the Death Star scene. I’m erring on the side of caution, I guess. It’s not part of the story of the prequels, and only appears during the pre-ANH traileresque ending montage. (There’s no reason to involve Geonosis or Dooku; at least here it remains an Imperial project.) I prefer to have Coruscant, technically, but emotionally feel the Death Star is what gives the scene its weight.
However, anyone wanting to hack at my cuts to tweak to their liking, it’d be a quick fix.
