Oh, also, regarding my family viewing of TFA:R-V2, everyone loved it. My dad and grandma didn’t notice anything different (not surprising), but seemed to enjoy it more than they have in the past. My brother immediately turned to me when the credits started with a huge grin on his face and said, “Holy shit that was so much better,” which led to my mom going “I knew something was different! Was this one of your cut-ups” (what she calls fanedits) “or is this a new Special Edition?” When I explained to her what was changed she agreed that it was a massive improvement and that she never noticed anything was different at all until Han’s death - the whole Takodana sequence felt “right” and like it had always been that way for her, even though she’s seen the theatrical version about 5 times.

I played off the framerate stuttering during Chewie’s rescue of Rey and Finn as a glitch in the file.

Oh, and I should point out that I haven’t been able to get this to work when burned to a BD50 at all. Anyone successful yet? Did you have to do anything special?
