First off, thanks a lot for the detailed (and favourable) review! Much appreciated.

I'll to do something about the squished shots. There used to be quite a lot scattered throughout the edit - the most glaring example left is Han during Fett's final scene (a shot that has to be cut).

I agree totally that Fett's subtitles aren't right. The first scene on Endor I think is fine, but his big showdown with Han is all wrong. My long term plan is to hire someone on fiverr.com to do the voice (in original TESB style), but before I spend any money on it I need to get the lines perfect.

I don't have a problem with Jabba's big door... but you're certainly not the only person who does. :)

I like the idea of changing the colours to a more Tatooine brown/orange to match the rest of the scene. Think I'll do that right now. Thanks.

Adding Fett to the sarlacc scene is definitely an option that I'll play around with, but I really don't like Han's stupid bit where he accidentally hits his jetpack. Plus if Fett flies into combat, falls over, and then is knocked out within about a minute it doesn't exactly make him look fearsome. Or competent.

Overall the Fett stuff is still so rough that I'm not sure it should even be in the edit. But I like the ideas - especially of Chewie saving the day, as well as obviously giving Fett something meaningful to do, and upping the stakes during the last third of the movie.

Thanks again for your input.
