I think this edit overall has made this a better movie.
Funnily what fixed alot of it wasn’t the addition of new material, it was simply cutting things that were already there, the time limit set up by palpatine, “they fly now”, & the reveal of chewie being alive being three big ones.
The current edits for V2 feel like things are being pumped back into the movie to give it a backbone.
I think its quite funny how this movie and ROTJ share so many of the same issues, and I’ll probably get flack for saying it but after watching V1 I enjoy this movie more than ROTJ, and even TFA.
I’m very curious Hal - outside of the remaining edits being done, is there anything in the movie you’ve wanted to change or enhance that has yet to be discussed?
