Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist

Before I begin with the review of the edit, a quick word about my feelings for the original film. I saw it once at the cinema and that was it. It's not that it was a bad movie per se, I just didn't enjoy it and also I was very annoyed with how Han got his last name and that over the top silliness and excessive humanization of the android L3. So, although I didn't remember much of the original film when I saw this edit, these two things I remembered clear as yesterday! So my overall enjoyment of the original was around 4.

Now with the edit! The audio and visual technical aspects where nothing less than perfect! I couldn't find a single scene where I could tell or 'feel' that something was tampered with. Also, since english is not my native language and the edit doesn't have subtitles, I had the volume pretty high up, so I would have spotted if anything was off. So job well done here!

But, technical aspects aside, the important part, for me, is always the narrative. I can forgive editing mistakes if, overall, the editor has fixed the movie. So, did this "simple" trimming do anything for me? You bet!! I couldn't believe it! I actually enjoyed the movie much much more. It is amazing, sometimes, what the removing of certain brief scenes or some dialogue, can do for the overall narrative of a film. This edit is a testament that there is not always a need for aggressive editing (unless you are called The Phantom Menace). Sometimes there is a perfectly good movie to be found by just removing simple, but important, things. And in case you are wondering, yes, my two major issues that I had with the original, which I mentioned above, are completely gone!!

My enjoyment is 8 because it doesn't change the fact that I am not THAT fond of this movie, but still. Now it's on my radar for any future Star Wars marathons. So either if you did not like the movie, like myself, or even if you did like it, I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't be your go-to version of the film! I just hope someday we'll get subtitles also.

So, thank you DigModiFicaTion for your excellent work, thanks to anyone who read my review and may the force be with you!

This has no right being as fun as it does; DigModification has done a tremendous job tightening the pace of this, giving it the narrative drive that the original was missing and simultaneously allowing the viewer fewer chances to mull over plot implausibilities and convenient coincidences (though hey, it would hardly be Star Wars if there weren't some of those, right?). Chewie and Han renew and strengthen their reputation as one of the great film buddy duos, and Donald Glover as Lando gets to hog the spotlight, as he should.

A great fix-up edit, deserves to be part of your next Star Wars marathon.

i love this edition. the theatrical release seemed to me to take forever. this, however, seemed to keep me on the edge of my seat. great job of making this movie seem more enjoyable to sit thru

Being an extended edition viewer, I went into this edit with the presumption it was just going to be okay. But having viewed a few other of DigModiFicaTion's edits, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. This is a tighter and a more fast paced edit. And I don't miss a thing that was in the theatrical release. Excellent job, DigModiFicaTion.

Great work! I love everything about this. I was a fan of the original but this is my new go-to version of Solo.
