Even if it doesn’t make it any more sensible, removing the scene of chewie being captured would be a good thing just because it’s so awful.
I guess seeing Chewie for the first time emerging from the shadows would be pretty cool.
To both: exactly right 😃
Still doesn’t explain why you would jail the two famous smugglers in the same cell…
Are Gamorrean guards supposed to be smart? I never got that impression 😄
JEDIT: Or perhaps the guards were tired of cleaning up any mess after other cell mates would shred each other apart, and since they figure Chewie and Han at least get along with each other, that’s less clean-up? Lol, who knows, but this is an example for when it’s applicable to use the imagination since it doesn’t need to be explained why.
