The new line looks like this (line break is also different):

01:06:31,522 --> 01:06:33,858
You know, between his howling
and your blasting everything in sight...

Also, I'd like to add that even when I'm not taking some of your suggestions, you are going over the exact same sort of spots that I also agonized over for far too long doing this project.  So you're definitely doing exactly the right level of analysis IMO.

Also, what do you think of "Terminate her. Immediately!"

Yeah that's where I put the line break too.  Can't decide if I think there should be a comma after "You know" or not.

As for "Terminate her" ... on a second listen (or let's be honest here, two hundredth listen :)  we're all here because we're fans, right?) the pause isn't quite as long as I remembered it, maybe a comma would go better than a period in between?  I could see an exclamation mark at the end, though, as Tarkin seems to be about as mad right there as he ever gets.

One more on Empire:

899
01:42:12,573 --> 01:42:14,573
Wait. Turn around, you woolly...

^^Again with the ellipsis versus a dash...he's halfway through insulting Chewbacca, when he gets cut off by Chewie and R2 at the same time.  I agree his voice does sound almost as if it's trailing off, but maybe that's just because Daniels had to imagine the interruption when recording the line, as there was no other actor there actually interrupting him, since both of the other two were voiced by sound effects.  Surely not because Threepio the character ran out of things to say :)
