A separate and probably unrealistic idea I once had included filming Fett crashing in the sand instead of into the sail barge. We would see him regaining consciousness just before the explosion of the sail barge, and then see him take off in Slave I after Luke and the Falcon part ways. He then shows up in the Battle of Endor, intending to take out the Falcon, but Lando outpilots him while his gunners ultimately take out Slave I. Again, I doubt it would work, but it was an interesting idea to me.

The problem is that he’s ineffective in both battles.

However, I think it’s a good idea to have him land in the sand, since he’s positioned towards Luke (and the sand) up until Luke’s infamous Force Kick where he’s seen flying at the barge at almost a right angle to Luke.
Force Fail
It would be a task of deleting Boba from that shot and instead having either a double or a CG Boba flying above the poor kicked guy towards the camera and out of frame to the left. While you’re at it, reposition Luke or the guy so that his kick actually lands.

JEDIT: Just had another idea. At the end of the infamous shot, Luke leaps down with his lightsaber in a downswing, but it doesn’t connect with anyone as usual. What if Boba flew headfirst into that downswing, and the next shot wasn’t him slamming into the barge but his head hitting the deck of the skiff? Then the next shot could still be his body (now headless) rolling down the slope into the pit.

It’s like poetry. Brutal, murderous poetry 😉

Anybody say anything about Lando jumping to hyperspace before akbar mark,

Prepare to go into hyperspace in my mark.
Lando just says OK and pulls the lever, who made that guy a general

That’s a good point, and something that always bugged me. If we see some sort of light come on in the Falcon which indicates a sort of fleet-wide signaling system, it would make more sense.

TFA: A Gentle Restructure (Released)
Time

For V2, the light side of Starkiller Base is darkened and a new Hosnian Destruction sequence is implemented using the full track from the score. SirRidley is finalizing(😉) the Finalizer scene where Finn says ‘They’ve found us!’, as well as re-editing that scene to flow better. In addition, there are a whole bunch of new changes such as R2 looking for the map only after BB8’s suggestion, a stabilized final shot, completely reconstructed sound for the destruction of Starkiller Base, and the addition of a subplot involving Leia and the Republic. Most of these changes are available to view in the Starlight Project, a link to which is available in my signature.

By the way, here’s the Leia Deleted Scene with the aforementioned audio issue fixed:

Well, the word is that he handed a pretty solid victory to the Democrats, in that when the debt ceiling comes back up again in December, the Dems will have a lot more leverage to get things that they want passed.

https://newrepublic.com/article/144726/trump-screwed-republicans-now-what

Faced with the perennial debt ceiling problem, Trump shocked Washington on Wednesday by agreeing with Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, and Pelosi, his counterpart in the House, to fund the government and raise the debt limit for three months while also providing aid for Hurricane Harvey victims. To call this a “deal” would be generous, as Trump gave Democrats exactly what they had sought. The agreement keeps the debt ceiling issue alive ahead of next year’s midterm elections—giving Republicans ample time to shoot themselves in the foot with infighting over government spending—and provides Democrats with leverage in future negotiations on key issues like granting legal status for DREAMers.

Perhaps Trump is realizing that the Democrats, despite being a minority party, can actually agree on things and may have a better chance of forming a coalition with moderate Republicans than trying to appease the insane wing of the House.
