Possessed,
I checked out your edit. Having just watched Daneditor's cut, it's good to see both of you ended up cutting a lot of the things I have issues with.
Overal this was pretty good, but there were still a few things I'm hoping you might tweak:
- It may be a codec issue, but there were audio sync issues for me. The audio was ahead of the video.
- The line "bring solo and and the wookiee" has "and" in there twice.
- There's a music cut of some kind when leia puts the chain around jabba's neck.
- Any chance you'd use Han's line "trust me"?
- It may have always been this way, but the bad guys suddenly disappear before Luke fires the cannon at the deck.
- Luke just shows up on the shuttle, without any acknowledgment that he's come back.
- 3po's story to the ewoks is cut. Did you have an issue with that?
- After Luke leaves Leia to turn himself in to Vader, the omission of Han works surprisingly well. I like it!
- Why has Vader igniting luke's saber been removed?
- After Han says "You stay here. We'll take care of this," there's a strange sound in the right channel while the Death Star is shown.
- Not seeing Han & co actually get into the bunker is a little weird, but I guess it works. I know the tap on the shoulder is a bit lame. But something feels missing here.
- suggestion: is it possible to remove Palpatine's line about Luke's lightsaber being much like his father's? It makes no sense.
- The part with Piett saying the Emperor has something special planned is cut. What didn't you like about that scene?
- Looks like you tweaked the sabers - especially the saber clash in front of the Emperor. Bravo!
- Here's a thought: at the bunker, Leia says "the code's changed". Did they get the scout trooper to give them the code the first time? Maybe you can remove that line?
- Any plans to remove the Chewie tarzan yell?
- Han not closing the second bunker door works kind of well, but then he never finished trying that later, does he?
- I like your removal of Han's line "When he gets back, I won't get in the way." And wicket doesn't interrupt!
- Any plans to remove "weesa free"?
- With the beat of the music, it seems like maybe you can cut Tatooine, Bespin, and Naboo entirely. As I've said in Daneditor's thread, do we need to see these places anyway?
- There's a musical cut of some kind when we return to the celebration on Endor.
- Any plans to remove Hayden?
- EDIT: I like your idea of having the Falcon fly off at the end, but re-using the footage doesn't really work for me. Now if you could get footage of the Falcon leaving Endor and coming straight at the camera, that would be great! That would give it a nice "the adventure continues" feeling.
