Could you guys give me some feedback and/or suggestions on this? I'm about to submit it for the atomfilms thing.

That was surprisingly funny. Some of the camera angles were a little off, though.

You're right about the camera angles. If I had it to do over again I would put the camera over Han's RIGHT shoulder, but oh well. Live and learn.

That was a very very convincing Han Solo. And I got a laugh out of Greedo. Nice work

That was kinda clever. You got an actual laugh outta me in a few parts.
Nice Chewie outfit, too.

The middle chunk with the negotiation was fine. Pacing was good, everything flowed for me. The scenes before and after it were where it seemed a little choppy. The last line didn't really seem like a good enough finisher, I don't know if you have anything else to throw in there.

Then I know it goes w/ the style, having Luke and Obi in front of the speeder, then jumping to the shot of the toy, but it's really awkward. Is there any sort of transitional shot that can go between those two? Side view of them moving in that direction, perhaps?

It's not about how the story ends. It's about how they get there.

That last line was a nod to the Three Amigos movie. That's kind of a cult classic movie with me and my friends. I'm open to suggestions for a closing line tho. Thanks for the input. I'll work on the speeder transition.

I really liked the Han too...granted I'm biased towards the Wookiee b/c he & I are pretty good friends, but the Han totally rocked. When I first saw the footage, I was taken by surprise on how good the Han was.

I wanted to get Jimmy to play Han in this movie because I saw him at Celebration III and the HUGE crowd that was around him taking photos. I didn't really know what to expect from him in terms of acting ability, but he delivered the goods on every take. AND had a lot of good ideas.

Both Han and Obi Wan's acting was really good.
I really liked it.
