Act Breaks?
Time

That is almost exactly the answer I was looking for.

 

I am also wondering if the scenes where Luke goes to confront the Emperor could be a bit more effective.  Maybe because Luke willingly surrendered, he didn't seem to be in as much danger.  Granted, Luke had only intended on confronting Vader and attempted to talk Vader into not taking him to the Emperor, but when Vader wasn't going for it, Luke just says "oh, well" and off they go.

 

Further EDIT:  I really like looking at these films as acts.  It helps me put my finger on what is or isn't working in the narrative.

So would you say that the trilogy has three main plot threads.  The Rebels against the Empire, Luke's reconciliation with his father and Han's redemption from Jabba the Hutt and general scoundrelness. 

The thing I don't think works as well with the Han Solo sub plot is that the rescue from Jabba's palace is dis-proportionately large compared to the Bounty Hunter interaction in the first two movies.  I understand that this also serves for Luke's progression to the title of Jedi Knight, but I think the cutting of the scene where Luke makes his saber lessens Luke's showing up at Jabba's palace to chew some bubblegum and to kick some butt.

Am I wrong about this?

Too bad there isn't Pay Extra Attention To or a Stalk specific user feature.  The total opposite of the Ignore feature.

xhonzi, I have a mission for you.  Of course you'll have to have someone quote your response since I've solved the Ignore xhonzi Puzzle, but there you go.

Anyway, your mission, should you realize you have no choice, is to PM J T34 and find out why you're the only one not ignored.

TOUCH THE COW.  DO IT NOW.

AND EAT SOME CHOW.  TAKE A BOW.  WOW-O-WOW!!
