Enjoyed the film a lot more than I thought I would.

That being said I have a few personal issues I’ll address in my own eventual fan edit when the movie hits home media.

  1. Get rid of the opening text after “A Long Time Ago…”, it really isn’t needed and feels a bit clunky.

  2. Tone down the amount of shots of the golden dice. We get it. TLJ reference. Don’t need to show us every five minutes.

  3. Not sure about how Han got his last name, I’m a bit 50/50 at the moment, will probably decide after thinking on it.

  4. L3-37. Yuck. Trim her dialogue so all the droid rights talk is still in there, but chuck all the extremely forced political commentary; the fact that my entire theatre groaned through most of her lines and a couple people cheered when she died is something I don’t think the filmmakers really intended.
    This includes getting rid of the weird robot sex implied between her and Lando… Just no.

  5. The Wookie scenes in the prison breakout seemed a bit unclear and unresolved in the grand scheme of Chewie’s arc. Not sure about some of these, will need to watch the film again before deciding.

  6. Maul is gone. Talk about next level pandering.

Other than that I’m actually really happy with the film. I was extremely burned out after TLJ and expected the worst but I was pleasantly surprised. Not amazing, but definitely what I’d call good.
