Great Great stuff, Spence! This is unbelievable-- so many great ideas and so many great clips! Gaah!

One point I am intrigued by, but couldn't quite grasp the whole picture on is this:

When did Luke confirm that Vader is his dad? Off-screen, shortly after ESB? Yeah, I guess that works pretty good. Am I getting that right?

 

Also, on the final battle clip-- have you considered ways to make it seem like Lando takes as much time flying out of the Death Star as he took getting in? I think a good (missed) opportunity for tension is in that footage if the impression can be that Lando didn't get out in time-- before he does.  I've never considered it in the order you've now placed it, but I submit the idea.

LOVE the new Luke/Vader battle. I think their fight really improves by being connected as you did there.  Now it seems more like a sequel to ESB instead of a completely different kind of fight.  Too bad there isn't a bunch of unused footage somewhere to keep it going even longer. 

So impressed. So looking forward to this. Thank you!
