Egad, no! I’m speaking to the way a movie is cut together. Empire Of Dreams talked about how the film was edited after that less than stellar rough cut done by different people. It’s easy to forget 40 years on how frenetically paced Star Wars really was compared to other 70’s films.
I know, I was kidding. That’s actually a pretty good point. I’d never considered that before, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that has something to do with it. It would’ve been a really short shoot-out if those exploding wall ornaments hadn’t been in there.
