I am also of the opinion that seeing the full, non-cropped frame is better. I just personally like seeing the full-frame footage because, that was the version that was originally printed, and I like seeing as much of the Falcon as possible.
In terms of lens distortion, 4th walls, and all that other stuff, I honestly wouldn't be paying enough attention to notice. Granted I enjoy the changes Ady makes but, not just because they are all in your face and noticeable. It is the subtle things that we are not always conscious of that really add to scenes.
I personally probably wouldn't have noticed this change unless it was pointed out but, I am glad Ady made it. Being true to the original framing of the film means a lot to me, regardless of my reasons being good or bad for it.
Great work Ady! I look forward to seeing the full film in the future.
