Do you guys think it would be too awkward/abrupt to cut from when Luke tells Jabba "It's the last mistake you'll ever make" scene straight to them standing out on the barge waiting for it to start with a wipe of some sort? It removes alot, but you lose absolutely nothing important, and get rid of alot of annoying things.
I remember a few years ago when I released a completed "draft" of this cut it got good feedback but I don't remember that change being talked about much. It seems some people thought it was too abrupt, but could that be just because you're not used to it? I really like the idea. Cuts out that unnecessary muppetry with no influence on the story, and it keeps us focused on what's important.
I know this is progressing very slowly, I can't help it, but I still intend for it to happen.
