Well, if anybody cares I've decided to just use the blu ray track.

What do you think of removing the whole notion of a "strike team" being mentioned in the briefing scene? I'm thinking also of completely removing han, leia, chewie, and all "familiars" from that scene and have it just be a brief rundown of the plan, showing the aforementioned characters but not having them speak, because everything they say is unbelievably hokey and campy.

Or maybe mentioning the strike team, but not having it directly said that Han is captain and all the "General, count me in" moments. I'm hoping it will work to just mention that there IS a strike team, and having the audience infer who it is when we see them all together in the imperial ship. Even if the audience doesn't infer that, it's not really a loss to the story.

Any opinions? Interest in this edit seems to be fizzling out, but that's probably my fault due to the on again off again nature of me with this project. For what it's worth things in my life have settled down and I'm nearing completion of my musical project I've been working on (Non SW related) so I will have some of my "creative" time freed up soon.

My personal problem with that scene is the fact that Han, a mere smuggler, is a general. As well as Lando. Other than that you can keep the rest in my opinion. I haven't watched that scene in a while though, might be more I dislike.
