Oh my God, you guys, how much do you expect me to be able to read during the cracks in my day? lol

I could only skim the last THREE pages for the moment, but I guess I’m of three minds about Mustafar.

I really don’t mind the film as it is, as we get a sense of “Ah, he’s chasing a thing to get to a place but they aren’t stopping to tell us about it because we infer what we need to know.”

I am okay with adding other shots to the Mustafar scene because people feel that it would be a good idea, provided it comes across well and fits in.

Since I like Mustafar just fine, I’m reluctant to remove it completely, but there’s a solid point to doing that, since it’s been eviscerated of the meat that we know was originally there.

Poppasketti, would a pan UP from the crawl fit better? The camera would then continue to to go up to follow the TIE, rather than changing directions. I wonder if another second or two could pass before his TIE enters frame, too. But that’s some good work, per usual.

I know other things were brought up, too, but I only have a couple minutes. I don’t particularly care to rescore Han or Leia’s moments on the Death Star, personally. John Williams is the best part of TROS.
