What are you referring to with the Wampa attack?

I meant the way you restored the Wampa attack on Echo Base doesn’t feel quite right. Specifically, the almost identical Wampa lunge from earlier in the cave with Luke. And then the chopped Wampa arm moved forward, which seems a bit strange to be chopped off by blaster fire. Also, using SE material in the scene feels like it’s taking away a bit of its authenticity. It’s cut very fast anyway, and I’m not sure the SE with added FX is doing it any favors. Maybe we don’t need to see the Wampa being hit? Would it work to cut from the rebel soldier firing his blaster directly to the tunnel tumbling and him saying “I got it”? What do you think?

I also just noticed some snippets from your Leftovers compilation weren’t used in your EE. For example, the brief shot in the cave from behind the Wampa’s claws. Isn’t it possible to fit it in, maybe a bit slowed down? Just like Luke’s healing mask later in the medical bay, an iconic shot that only ever made it into the classic comics.

And the brief sequence of Han lifting Leia out of the way during their hallway argument. Looks a bit tricky to include because of the dialogue, but it would be one charming addition as well.
