Awesome! So glad to finally find some sort of solution. š
JEDIT: Hereās close-to-final sequence, from the launch of the shuttle to landing:

And hereās the uncompressed avi of the final sequence with a few more tweaks to the movement of the shuttle:
https://mega.nz/#!nM9ACJ7L!FREhN8pIrmzOy6y9u6Hr1PzpzIRi0J4dJjzRmk6mIqoI just used the original movie edits, so obviously it will need dubbing at the very least. Beyond that though, cuts are really subjective. I suppose the Apocalypse Now TIEs can go, but āThose beasts!ā sounds about right considering the surprise attack.
What do you think? Should Kylo have a TIE escort, or is he more brazen than that?
The ship movements looks unconvincing to me. An actual 3d model with animation would definetly look better here. Also I think the shuttle should be farther away and moving slower since it would arrive way earlier than the TIEs in this version. And Iād add the TIE escort simply because the Empire and the First Order like to show their military power by giving escorts to everything^^
Ultimately Iām not sold on the idea though. It does fix several issues for sure but it also lets us know very early that Kylo arrives which we donāt know in the original cut at that point. And I also find it a little unbelievable that the First Order would launch a surprise attack and at the same time have a Stardestroyer clearly visible in orbit and a shuttle coming right at their target. I personally have more problems believing that than seeing the bar patrons not running away immediately when they see the TIEs. But I guess that comes down to personal preferences and if necessary I can always edit the TIEs back in for myself^^
