I definitely think it is worth keeping the scene. I would say the more deleted scenes you can fit in the better! What is the continuity issue you’re referring to?
It’s hard to place the scene since it’s not in any draft of the script but I figure it’s after Leia Lando and Chewie get in the elevator.
But the Lobot scene is on the same set as the crew getting into the elevator. So the scene doesn’t make sense in the space, since they get in the elevator, then Lobot gets off on the same floor which is now empty, then opens the door, and then Lando comes out from around a corner and runs to this door.
It makes it seem like they got off on the same floor or something.
If I can figure out how to cut it and make sense, I’ll use it but it’s a mindfuck. Thanks for your in depth notes though, they’re very helpful to how it could be cut.
Here’s an extra shot of Boba Fett in the Carbon Freezing chamber, with some new music mixed in. I’m not 100% happy with it but that’s fine.
I’m also considering using some Special Edition footage from a 1997 35mm scan, mainly the extended approach in Cloud City, but is there any other footage I should desperately use?
