That is pretty solid, Nev!

I know it isn’t meant to be perfect, but I did notice a few little audio burps here and there. I’ve always found this scene hard to cut. Ironically, I think the “dark chanting” music makes cuts more noticeable.

I like how you kind of see that conversation as being able to be interpreted in multiple ways. I think “He means nothing to me” on its own. Really, it helps make it feel like we’re listening in on a conversation and slowly learning things through context, rather than the original line about Han Solo almost being fourth wall breaking. Like, why did he have to word it that way, you know?

It makes me think of Once Upon a Time in the West. When Harmonica shows up at the train station and stands off against the henchmen, all he asks is, “And Frank?”
At that point, we don’t know who Frank is, but not knowing makes it more interesting by not spelling it out and letting the audience discover its significance.
