Okay, I'm caught up on text suggestions...

Right now I'm going with "Terminate her... immediately." unless I think of a better way to write it.  Definitely no comma, maybe two periods.  Feel free to lobby me on this issue.  I accept checks.

I'm also not sure what I'm going to do about "What the...".  I could go either way.  There's another one of these in ROTJ, so if I change it here, I should change it there, too.

I'm doing "You know, between his howling" and I was also able to adjust the timing back a few milliseconds for the new words.

Hell isn't always capitalized, and I don't think this usage qualifies.

Regarding the "Go for the legs" quote, give the man a cigar!  It's Dak onscreen, so Luke is not speaking over the radio, he's just offscreen.  Not only did I remove the italics, but I added an SDH cue due to the offscreen speaker.  For the record, some subtitles will italicize all offscreen speakers, but I don't do that.  I italicize radios, recordings, and ghosts--basically anything that ever would get distortion applied, even if it doesn't have distortion applied right then (Obi-Wan's ghost isn't consistent, but I make him always italicized).

Sticking with "We'll set harpoon", checked against the script.

Ellipses vs dashes is sometimes a tough call.  I'm sticking with ellipses because it's understood he actually continues speaking unaware he's been cut off.  I could see it either way though.

3-2-7 is changed to 327.

All others are unchanged, doesn't mean I wasn't tempted.  Thanks very much!
