If I were you I would cut the "Roger Roger" during the battle. If there is a control ship controlling the droids then voice communication is needed only for interacting with people and droids who are not part of the droid army.

Only one Podrace lap. Most of all three laps will be included, but the scenes of them going threw the start\finish lines will be cut.

Please tell me that you are cutting out the two-headed commentator.

Jabba the Hutt will not be seen. Why? Because people, including myself, had to wait a long time to finally see what Jabba looked like in ROTJ. He was mentioned in ANH and TESB, but the mystery of what he looked like remained until we saw him. So he won't be seen at all in my edit.

Hear hear!

Well, for the "Roger roger", I was going to (1) keep the shot but mute the line and restore the music, or (2) move it some where in the hangar battle.

The 2-headed alien will and will not be cut. What I mean is that he will be heard saying some lines, like "anakin is forced on to the service ramp" and "looks like some tusken raiders...". The alien is suppose to be comic-relief, and it is, to an extent. Some lines like "that has got to hurt" and "the crowd goes nuts" are not needed.

I actually reconsidered my decision of cutting out Jabba. So I'll be inserting him back in.
