I’m not sure how people do the brackets on here but I’ve had some thoughts on the inevitable Grogu and Mando edit as has been shared prior
Don’t read if you have not seen it yet! I will be vague but still not worth the risk!
(I agree with Acbagel’s ideas for it, as in a way it was a pointless but fun movie.
To make it feel more connected, are there any AI voice lines to mention the Hutts at points through the series to build up to it, as they are Boba’s enemies not Din’s. I don’t think there are any spare scenes you could use to shoehorn Boba into it, but maybe a call with him whilst flying like you have done before? Boba needed to be relevant to this.
In the actual edit of the movie could heavily change the Hutt involvement to be regarding the events of book 6 as opposed to the contents of the film, scrapping anything to do with Rotta after the planet we meet him on. Maybe don’t even acknowledge that it is Rotta and have it be an informant he ends up being forced to fight where they go their separate ways. Book 6 could be split into the film with content shared, but this will be a lot of effort to fix as it runs smooth chronologically.
Like I said it was a fun film, but the more I’ve talked about it since, it does feel pointless and a waste of hitting cinemas. Just my thoughts though I know many loved it)
I think it should be Boba doing the bombing run at the end, not the NR.
And I agree with maybe finding a way to insert him earlier. Maybe he warns Din about the Hutts being untrustworthy, hence it making more sense how Din is willing to listen to Rotta and screw over the NR’s deal with them.
It may be hard to cut Rotta out of the final fight. He seems pretty heavily tied to that final moment of them falling into the Pit. Which, I think is a GREAT moment. One of those fan fiction fulfillment moments of “What if Jabba had fallen into the rancor pit”.
