Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist

Effectively removed some distracting plot points and scenes. Great fun to watch.

When i first watched this i felt this film was so close to being spectacular with some editing. Upon watching the fan edit Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist by DigModiFicaTion my beliefs were realized.

To watch such a misfire in writing and editing in the original film, then to see the same content edited in a way that brings life to such a great vision was something to behold. My original rating at a 6.1 and its moved to a 9.5 with this edit. Truely an impressive achievement by DigModiFicatTion.

This is in my top 3 Star Wars films, such an enjoyable ride i highly recommend viewing this.

the improvement is basically secured in the colour grading changes, removal of han's name origin, and the removal of that egregious maul cameo (i think this indirectly makes qira more interesting, though my gf who watched with me and had not seen the original, felt that her end didnt make a lot of sense).

those brilliant changes aside though, i didnt love this edit. i think that a really fun chemistry exists between the main cast in the original (maybe a holdover from the screwball comedy lord & miller stuff), and this cut is definitely lacking in some of that with the methodical trimming of the interactions. this is possibly due to the downplaying of phoebe waller bridge's robot character (who i like, even if the metaphor of her character is weak and bad). one omission that annoyed me was the gag of lando flying away! i loved that nooo </3

i think that the coaxium heist is a better movie than solo a star wars story, but this cut is too drastic for me. some of the fun is lost, which is a shame in a movie that is mostly there to be a fun 2 hours.

Fantastic job! This a great edit of this movie. I'm really glad to watch a version that trims out the sexuality with L3 and alters the Han Solo name reveal so that Solo is his true last name, and not made up on the fly. I enjoyed Solo in the theater, but there are a lot of added tweaks. My only disagreement is that I prefer Darth Maul being in the movie, but that is just my preference, and I can understand the argument for removing him, especially now that this movie is likely to only be a stand alone.

This fixes what i consider to be a broken film. There are a few instances of unprofessional visual affects used for transitions but it gets the pint across and is forgivable. Thank you digimodification for saving a movie for me that i was ready to pretend didn't exist.
