Last night, while watching a fan edit of A New Hope that I added a custom text crawl to, I actually thought of making a change to the Cantina sequence.
The change I considered making was to remove all the shots of various aliens all over.
That idea came from a slight misunderstanding of what the scene is about.
It’s NOT about showing off special effects for alien creatures and such.
It’s a scene from Luke’s point of view; he’s been sheltered as a moisture farmer, and he’s just NOW stepping foot in the greater world and seeing what variety of races there are in the Galaxy.
