In the german translation, C-3PO is saying "Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never got out of this palace (“Lando Calrissian und der arme Chewbacca sind aus dieser Burg nie wieder herausgekommen.”)
Translations aren’t always accurate.
I’ve watched enough bad English dubs of Godzilla movies to know that 😄
Yes I know, I just wanted to point out that in the german context, showing Chewbacca in the prison scene first would make sense.
If you want to remove all mystery about his location & fate, sure
Can you elaborate? I see the opposite as true, where it’d add mystery by not revealing his location & fate until we see him when Han does.
Oooh I misunderstood.
Oh I get that, no worries! 😄
But if there is anyone who thinks it’s better and makes sense to keep Leia handing over Chewie, I’m genuinely curious why you think so. If any patron, including Lando, can get in without having to bring in a Chewie to Jabba (not to be confused with the Chewy Granola Bar, lol, though he’d like that), then so can Leia 😉
