So far, I finished the workprints of some of the chapters.

The biggest challenge right now is the last one. I thought I could use the ending of the “Dark Empire II”, but I cannot edit it as I’d like to.
The last scene of Dark Empire cannot be trimmed as I’d like to because of the music in the background. So I’m kinda stuck with it : /

The other challenge for me was chapter 1, as I had to somehow trim the opening crawl, but I think I managed to do it.

So far the change list is:

•Chapter 1:
-I added “A long time ago…”
-trimmed the opening crawl

•Chapter 2
-the dialogue between Luke and Leia was trimmed (removed the mention of the twins and future generation of the Jedi)
-the last scene was removed (when Han declines helping Lando, as I felt it was too much out of character)

• Chapter 3:
-remove the whole first scene (too many mentions of the twins and also it was a direct followup to the last scene of chapter #2 I had removed)
-removed one mention of “the children”
