[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7886900, member: 4937"] Which of the edits would you like to talk about? I mean we're talking about a cut line here or there, three or four scenes moved forward of other scenes, slight changes in the ordering of dialogue, some interspersed scenes to clarify the action, and biggest of all Luke's original character introduction is cut. With IMO the exception of cutting the Biggs introduction, because in the final cut we first meet Biggs at the end of the movie, and only then are we asked to invest in the partnership between Luke and Biggs and feel something for his eventual death, this all works well, but the edit didn't save the movie as much as it polished it. Personally, I like to focus on the difference between the movie and the Alan Dean Foster novelization which is based on the mid-edit script treatment, but if you like we can focus on the difference between the presumed rough draft (with its place holder effects that I think are a big problem with the reaction to it) and the final draft, or really from any two points you want.
