Solo: The Shortcut
​

A reserved fanedit that shows just how much fun can be had when you don't stop for a quip or an applause shot every five seconds.

Cut some jokes, adjusted some moments with Han and Q'ira, skipped some of the more gratuitous fan service moments, added and tweaked couple of deleted scenes, and gave the film a complete colour regrading.​

Been looking for a good solo edit that just sharpens up the movie and nothing else. Your changes sound fantastic and I look forward to watching it!
