I know the odds of there being an extended version are about as good as there being original versions on the upcoming box set - but I have to believe this thing got at least a half hour cut out of it at the last minute, if not maybe even 40-45 minutes. I don’t know if that extra time would have helped, or if it just would have been a half hour of more “what the hell - why are these people doing all these things?” but knowing that they edited Lando and Jannah’s final scene to make it look like he was hitting on her when we know they SHOT that scene as the closing of both their character’s arcs and beginning of a father/daughter adventure…

if that storyline existed on film and became THAT ending by the time the movie crossed the finish line, then it makes me wonder if every question I have about the messy, truncated, dead-end plotting in this movie actually DOES have an answer, it’s just on a hard drive somewhere marked “Deleted scenes.”

There are some good things in the movie! I just wish there was a better movie surrounding those moments. There’s a LOT of movie. But not so much a better one. I wonder if the better one got shaved to death.
