I know I can’t touch on everything that’s been said so far this morning right now, and I hope I don’t sound blunt! But I am leaning toward keeping Mustafar as it is, maybe with a shot to set it up if it feels right.

The restructure was interesting and has a lot going for it, but you’re right that this thing is a Gordian knot. And there’d have to be something in his helmet vision to bring him to being FIRED UP when we see him next.

Movies Remastered, you’re moving Mustafar to after the board room scene? How’s that work?

Yes, while I’m sympathetic to all the work I and others put in, I’ve had a lot of work left along dead ends and you have to be willing to kill your darlings.

And just as a reminder, this would be a very different conversation if we were still making the movie, and we are especially limited by this film when we are working from a completed product and considering what we can do that would still have felt totally legit were it projected in theaters for ourselves and general audiences in a parallel universe.
