All are fair comments. I think I've been outvoted. I worked it that way in part to justify the time gap between traveling from Dagobah to Tatooine, and also I kind of liked the idea of a slower start. However, this is apparently not the majority rule, so I'll rework it.

Ronster has been pushing heavily for a scene where the Death Star plans are stolen. His vision includes a Death Star, and while his idea seems too similar to ANH, perhaps creating a new scene that contains at least some of the elements he suggests could obtain what we are looking for.

But perhaps the best choice is to put the Death Star first followed by Dagobah, as Spence did. I'll have to further consider how to show the transition to Tatooine. Any ideas?

Which opening between these two do you guys feel would be better?

As for Lando, though some have suggested killing him, too many, myself included, lean towards keeping him alive. Sounds like that's probably what we should do, but maybe I'll send out a poll later today or tomorrow regarding the various debated issues. If new issues arise, we can vote on those later. I will send out PMs to everyone who has contributed to this project and give something like a week for everyone to read the script and respond. Then I'll post the results.
