I feel Tattooine has been done to death in the ever shrinking SW galaxy. It’s refreshing with a new location.
Just my opinion of course
May I have a link as well?

Will the scene in Ben’s hut be true to the way it was shot or the way it was edited? I understand why Adywan changed it for continuity reasons, but it was edited with the second half first for a reason; and is one of many ways the original film was saved in editing.
For Lando, maybe it’s possible to increase his presence in the film by using his voice in some places (offscreen, over radio etc) from his large body of radio plays and voice acting for games.
Billy Dee Williams voiced Lando in all of the following:
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back radio adaptation
Dark Empire audio drama
Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Rebels series
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront I
That way his limited screen time will be made up for a little bit? Thoughts?
I realize that Mark’s memory may be incorrect after all these years, but he mentions it being filmed here:

So this was the original line when meeting Leia, and the film must exist somewhere. Why hasn’t it been included in deleted scenes or making-of docs? It would be interesting to see for sure.
Any new reviews David? Great writing so far
Well done!
This is now my go-to version of Solo. All the right cuts for a seamless fan edit. Great job!
It’d be nice to see a fan edit with different markings or colors for the ROTJ X-wing. Luke shouldn’t be red 5 anymore, he should be Rogue leader.
How did Luke get his X-wing back? The empire must have seized it after he landed at Cloud City. But what about the X-wing in ROTJ? The same one or another one?
There is a well known plot hole in ESB. Either Luke gets a few days training on Dagobah, or The Falcon gang spend weeks limping to Bespin with no hyperdrive. Either way, the timings don’t quite work.
If we would use title cards, a perfect place for one would be between the scene of the Falcon leaving with the garbage (followed by Fett) and the scene of Luke having a force vision while standing upside down. But don’t worry; I think title cards are a terrible idea.
Now that scene change is accomplished by using an optical wipe, just like so many scenes in the franchise.
But wipes give the effect of something in the next scene happening right after or even simultaneously as the preceding scene. Thats the feeling I get anyway, it doesn’t feel like any significant time has passed.
In ANH there are two instances of fading to black between scenes; one after Owen and Luke purchases the droids, and the other after the epic twin sunset.
A short fade to black gives the viewer a sense that some time has passed, in a way that an optical wipe doesn’t.
So why not change the wipe in ESB to a short fade to black? Adding perhaps one second to the runtime.
It might just subtly change how the viewer sees the passage of time in this part of the movie.
Thoughts?
