So (with the understanding now that this will be an edit of ROTJ) I don’t understand the point behind the suggestions to edit Leia, Lando & Chewie scenes in Jabba’s palace or what is wrong with any of it in the first place?

I never knew it was Leia till she unmasked after unfreezing Han.
The plan to infiltrate Leia into the palace by disguise as a bounty hunter with modified voice speaking in an alien language and all, to then hand in Chewie for the reward as a contingency plan against C3-PO and R2s message plan not working seemed well enough thought out and logical with them feeling pretty certain the initial message plan would fail by offering the droids as “gifts” to also infiltrate them as such into the palace along with Chewie which is essentially what they do though he has to spend some time waiting in a cell initially.
Lando dipping his face guard to let you know it’s him has never bothered me and adds that little bit of extra info to the audience who can start to glean a larger plan coming together and is actually pretty cool how they gradually lay it all out and piece together the rescue mission. Sure there was a lot of measured risk involved but it is Star Wars we’re talking about 😉
Putting Han in the same cell as Chewie never threw up any obvious issues to me. Maybe all the other cells are already full or as someone else alluded to, maybe the other occupants (based of what we see in other cells as we are walked by with C3-PO) would simply kill Han, robbing Jabba of publically executing him. In any event, I don’t think just because they know each other and are the elusive smuggler duo automatically means the guards should think they might be able to then escape? Really don’t understand the issue here, it was always just a nice little reunion scene between Han and Chewie which I would very much miss if it was removed.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious? But I don’t see any of the problems with the rescue mission that you all seem to. There are definitely some parts in the movie that could use some tweaking and improvement but I wouldn’t have thought this area was one of them.
