New project

Hopefully get the money together to accomplish this. With my knowledge and skill with editing and after fx it should be feasable.

Needless to say SOLO is a safe by the numbers action space adventure. Played to meet that middle zone where it doesn't offend with terrible editing writing or acting but leaves little to no impact or stand out as anything special.

I'm going to try to fix it...

I may start a thread on Fan edit.org might not...

But I sit here thinking about it and yunno what, I think I can fix that movie. Provided there are deleted scenes worth a damn to help flesh out something here and there...

The worst offense in the film is its kinda negligence towards the Lando/Han relationship. There SHOULD have been key scenes showing them developing a deep bond. Instead it's the most overlooked thing in the movie. It struggles to sell the chewie/han bond and never really truly does, then it completely glosses over Lando and Han's bond... So as it stands, there's not a single reason why Han trusts Lando in ESB when originally whatever it was they went through built a solid foundation of trust between them.

I will be removing Glover from the movie... I'm going to attempt, probably to my own begrudgment to green screen myself into the film... Thankfully Ron Howard doesn't really do heavy tracking shots much so it shouldn't be too damn impossible to get rid of glover and put me in there...

You think I'm BSing, I know, but I believe I can do it... I have a very powerful fx program ready to go, a green sheet, and if I plan it right, it could look decent... why the F not... Like, I did it with Static, I can do it here...

At least it'll allow me to make Lando more interesting a character instead of a means to an ends plus a complete jerk as he's made to seem in the final film....

As much as the joke is cool that Lando leaves Han behind, the movie's basically saying he's a selfish douche bag who'd even leave a girl he knows personally to fend for herself... I don't like that at all. And would be cool to find a way to fix that.

Anyway I'm  just tossing ideas around. I may or may not go forward with this. We'll see. Once the Blu Ray drops I'll have decided.
