Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist

Coaxium Heist - everyone seems to be raving about this one and I’m not going to spoil that party. It’s awesome, and does indeed feel like a Star Wars edit.

When I saw this I did more out of curiosity, as in this day of faneditors howling at the moon to rectify Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, et al it does give us perspective…there just wasn’t all that incorrect about Ron Howard’s overall vision, IMHO.

That’s what makes finding and appreciating these fanedits so much fun - editors give us the gifts we didn’t realize we wanted. This one seamlessly stacks up now against the best of yer other SW edits, and there’s little in the way of awkwardness.

I personally really love the film’s arc at the end, the standoff with Woody, and how it feels like just another one of a million stories. Respect is paid there, where it belongs.

See for yourself the other changes and decide. For me, it took a film intrinsically just fine but have it another layer - an essential SW layer.

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.

When Disney purchased Lucasfilm I was excited for new Star Wars content under the Disney banner. When TFA and Rouge One were released it appeared LFL was on the right track with the fans and were mostly well received. Unfortunately this goodwill with fans went south after The Last Jedi was released to the public. Only two movies in and there was already an uproar (with good reason). Like a lot of SW fans I did not watch Solo in the cinemas due to the The Last Jedi being such a disgrace of a movie. Eventually I was able to watch the it for free on DVD and realized I was glad I skipped it. However, there is a good movie hidden under the identity politics and SJW pandering. Digmodification has created the movie that should have been released at the cinemas with this edit. The sexual innuendo between Lando and L3-37 which was just so awkward and unnecessary has been completely removed. L3-37 has been pushed to the background and is almost likable (but still cringy at times). The distracting blue hue has been removed with the color grading so the snow is now white and not blue and much easier on the eyes. However, in the worm's thing hideout in Corellia, the blue hue is left on on to purpose give the hideout a gloomy atmosphere. As there will probalby never by a Solo2 sequel I'm glad the Maul scene has been removed as it felt out pf place and forced fan service. Now the ending appears as if Q'ira is abandoning Han to take over the crime syndicate which I quite like. Digmodification mentioned he would re-add the Maul scene if there is a sequel. Overall, this is a great edit that removes many of the unnecessary scenes and dialogue and that plagued the movie and fixes the color grading that made it hard to watch. Would highly recommend it.

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

Why couldn't they release this in theatres? Another great edit by DigModiFicaTion!
