I have 3 videos for your viewing pleasure and hopefully, it serves as ideas. As I have mentioned in previous post, I am a firm believer that Boba does not really serve any purpose in the film. So my first video is the sarlacc battle.
https://vimeo.com/232895071The second video is trying to make Vader seem like less of a lap dog to the emperor by removing the constant “my master”. Additionally some of the exchange Vader has with the emperor regarding Luke feels a bit repetitive so i shortened the dialog between them.
https://vimeo.com/232896122Last video is when Vader suspects Luke and the rebels to be on the shuttle. I felt it would be stronger if he just gave the admiral a glance which then quick-cuts to Han. It would kind of raise the tension of them getting caught.

I think that the first two videos are very effective! I was particularly surprised how little Boba Fett is missed, though I don’t know how difficult it would be to fully edit the first one with all of the required audio.
I really feel that your second edit does strengthen Vader… nicely done!
I can’t say that I feel that the third edit is quite as convincing. While I feel that it does up the tension, I also feel that it doesn’t conclude as organically, so it doesn’t feel like a complete scene. Great attempts!
