Did anyone else think this was one of the funniest moments in the movie?

It's such a small moment but Han just casually punching and throwing a grown man into a rathtar is so unhinged and perfect. I don't know what it is but something about a big alien land octopus monster swallowing a guy and burping out an empty boot is so funny to me.

Also Han lands an Indy punch!!!!

If you could make any changes to the Rathtar sequence in TFA, what would they be?

This scene tends to get criticized, but I loved it. It's probably my favorite creature scene in the whole saga (at least top 2). Han and Chewie are great, Finn and Rey have fun chemistry, and the Rathtars are amazing. For having such a funky, alien design, the CGI look SO real.

There's not a ton I'd change here, but two minor issues that come to mind are;

- More Han and Chewie. After Han throws a Kanjiklub guy into a nearing Rathtar to buy himself and Chewie time to get away (slide #2 above), they just kinda disappear till the firefight at the tail end of the scene. Would've loved to have seen more of Han hilariously improvising like he did early in the scene

- More Rathtars! I know part of their charm is that they're rambunctious, and therefore not seen a whole lot, but these things totally deserved more screen time/extended shots. Maybe show an extended chase sequence with actual Rathtar screen time, or cut to more gang members getting attacked and eaten. I dunno
