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.
-
Get rid of the opening text after “A Long Time Ago…”, it really isn’t needed and feels a bit clunky.
-
Tone down the amount of shots of the golden dice. We get it. TLJ reference. Don’t need to show us every five minutes.
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
-
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.
