Just watched it and it flowed super well. It has been a while since I watched the Original and it really is hard to tell where parts are missing. Amazing work as always.
One little thing stuck out a bit though. Quill mentions the kid not having grown when Mando comes back to him. Which is weird, because in this edit it has been only 2 days since they last met. Even a human would not have grown in this time. If there was a way to remove or replace that line, that would be the icing on the cake!
Thanks. I shaved between 5 and 10mins off just by tightening scenes. It’s good to know that it isn’t noticeable, and the shortened run time
I had considered removing Kuill’s line about the child’s age, and it’s easy to do by just starting the conversation with “this is Cara Dune”. However, I really liked the exposition about cloning, which ties in with what is to come.
Regarding the comment about the child not having grown. It does suggest passage of time. However, since Mando left Arvala with the child he has been to Nevarro, Tatooine, Sorgen and back to Arvala. That’s a lot of hyperspace and action on those planets. It could have easily taken a couple of months.
We have a similar thing in ESB. Luke’s training on Dagobah is supposed to take a few months and in that time Han and Leia just make a journey from Hoth to Bespin via the asteroid field.
