I was right. They basically said they stop in the middle of the interview to point out that Ady removed most but not all of the "critters" on the way into Mos Eisley to show how nit-picky he is. They never mentioned this to him and he has a perfectly good explanation which no one will ever hear but us.

And of ALL 250+ changes Ady made, this is the one they focus on? At least io9 posted a video showing the GOOD AND JUSTIFIED changes he made.

What is the reason for only removing some of the critters? Are these the ones from the first shot of the landspeeder entering the city or of the next shot (which is brand new) with the pan up and wide view of the city from above?

Anyways, where is the video on io9? Is it the one embedded from youtube on the same interview page (which just shows a segment) or another video that compares the versions from multiple points in the movie?

Also, with the film already having screened at multiple festivals, what has the word been like since? Are there any updates?
