I’m curious how you’ll handle the Sail Barge battle, as I’ve never been particularly keen on how it’s structured in the movie.

Okay first off, I need to know the story behind your username. Anyone whose username references one of the greatest tomes to come out of the twin monasteries of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, must have an extreme amount of class.

To your Jedi question, the answer to that is blasphemous. . . You have to cut Boba Fett out of the fight, because if you do, suddenly everything works. It turns out the main villain of the Sail Barge should have been the bro with the deck gun, because he ties together Luke’s swashbuckling and Han’s skiff sinking together like a bow.

If you make that major change and recut the fight choreography to match the Prequels (think the Arena Battle), suddenly the sequence turns into the STAR WARS version of Errol Flynn’s “Robin Hood” in the best way possible.

Sadly, my cut of that sequence (And most of my Return of the Jedi), were destroyed when my copy of Adobe Premiere gained sentience and began deleting footage of its own accord. But not to worry, it will be rebuilt by the end of this year, and if you remind me in a few months I’ll probably have that sequence ready.
