Watched V3 last night. Outstanding work overall. For the most part the scenes cut do not feel missed and cutting them improves the narrative overall, so great choices there. One I’m not sure of is the ‘answering the call’ choice. I feel like ‘digging up the sabers’ doesn’t quiet work as well as the ‘getting on the ship’ scene. I think its mostly due to a combination of the music and the look on Kenobi’s face as the ‘sabers’ scene ends feeling doubtful, vs. the music and his look in the scene with the ship feeling more resolute/determined. But it still totally works how you have it now.
Yeah, and I can understand that. Personally, I liked leaving him a little doubtful when he decides to go rescue Leia.
Also, I could tell that one of those scenes had to go, and I felt the Saber scene had more meaning overall than the scene where he gets on the ship.
