After rejecting it for a while, I honestly think an 3 hour epic cut of both films could be cool. I will still just be sticking to doing a regular last jedi edit but am looking forward to the 2 in 1’s that will be done.

They have such different visual aesthetics, and I don’t know if that would take me out of the whole experience.

Maybe after changing the colour palette of the movie slighty to be a bit more similar to each other, it might make it seem more natural but being an edit of 2 different films (3 depending on how ep9 is) it will always seem a bit out of place but not drastically.

Hmm not bad, but the problem though is that Luke knows Rey is on board…

And then he rams the ship anyway?

The point in the theatrical is that Holdo just rams the ship not knowing that many Resistance members including Rey are inside.

Eh, I guess he could just sense it. The only big issue that I would find with making the change is that after this happens, you don’t really see much of Luke until the end of Crait and absolutely no one is questioning how the ship rammed through the fleet. You could maybe take Leia’s “Luke…” line and have her say it somehow after it happens. If there is a viable way to do it then I will rebuild all the sfx and rescore the sequence for my own edit but I’m not sure if it plasubile yet within the logic of the story.

Just want to add that this isn’t actually a deleted, its fan made (as it says in the description). I’ve seen a few people throwing this around as if it were an official deleted scene.

it was actually early concept art but they wanted it to be family friendly so they didn’t go threw with it

True. I just meant footage-wise. I don’t think the idea went further than concept art, though I could be wrong.

Here’s my change list thus far, with changes I’m not sure about in parentheses:
• (Rewrite crawl)
• Trim or cut Poe’s tooling with Hux
• Cut BB-8 headbutting the X-wing electronics
• Trim Paige’s bombing to make it a bit less drawn out
• (Add ending from TFA with Rey arriving on the island and transition into first scene with Luke, edit sky as needed)
• (Recut to have Rey pick up the thrown saber before going after Luke)
• Cut shot of Luke drinking milk and instead show the creature looking at Rey at that point
• Cut Rey’s line “I’ve seen your daily routine, you’re not busy”
• (Cut Luke’s first “everything you said was wrong”, because I feel like Rey wasn’t completely wrong and I dislike how it was used twice like a catchphrase)
• Trim Luke tickling Rey
• Fix continuity error where Finn’s bag is outside then inside escape pod
• (Trim or cut Maz’s call)
• Trim Canto Bight balcony scene, specifically Rose’s line “I wish I could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town”
• Trim or cut BB-8 getting filled with coins and shooting them out
• After Finn and Rose escape, edit the sewer lid to be mostly or fully closed
• In the fathier sequence, cut some of Finn’s lines: “stop enjoying this”, “too much cover”, “make them hurt”
• Cut steam iron “ship”
• (Trim or cut BB-8 controlling the AT-ST)
• Cut Finn’s line “did he just…?”
• Cut Rey’s line about how Kylo should put on a cowl
• Cut Rey’s first lines of voice over when she is in the mirror cave
• (Add visions of violence and destruction to when Luke “looks inside” Kylo’s mind)
• Fix Yoda’s face a bit
• (Make Yoda more blue/pale and transparent like other force ghosts)
• (Extend final Yoda shot like Hal 9000 proposed and/or move scene to other spot in the film like darthrush proposed)
• Cut Poe saying “big ass door”, perhaps edit to just “big door”
• Recut to show Rose coming to save Finn earlier in the suicide run sequence to imply that he needs to be saved rather than having us believe he will successfully sacrifice himself
• Stabilize crate when projected Luke sits on it, like Hal 9000 said

This is how to do a edit of the last jedi i agree with 90% of it but i would just cut out cantobite out entirely and just have finn and rose say we need a code breaker and keep phasma vs finn.

They explain what happens on canto bite to poe right before they go in to snokes ship.

I agree with almost all of this, but I’d keep both “every word in that sentence was wrong” lines and I’d definitely cut the fathier chase, implying that DJ just got them out and to his ship like others have suggested.

I really hope some of the deleted scenes are worth including and in good shape…

Eh, I thought Canto Bight was mostly fine. Not the most exciting part but I think it needs to stay.

I don’t mind the fathiers, they were pretty fun. A bit prequely maybe. And the sequence reinforces some of the themes of the movie and introduces the kids from the end sequence, so I’d keep it. I’ll trim it a bit.

Yeah, looking forward to seeing the deleted scenes! There should be something worth including. Hope they’re more complete than the ones from TFA, and without the time code.

When Leia is in space we cut to some First Order things for wayyyyy too long before it comes back to her doing the spacewalk.

At the very least I’d re-arrange the scenes for this to be more smooth.

(Personally I’d remove the spacewalk entirely but yeah…) 😛

As I reflect, I agree that the Leia spacewalk scene cannot be separated from her ejection into space in the first place by more than one brief scene, not the two TLJ separates them by.
And I love the idea of cutting from the shot of the Jedi tree burning after the Yoda scene to the establishing shot of Crait right before Leia tells them to close the door.

My stance on revising fan edits.

The other nice thing about moving the Yoda scene is it fits more thematically into the story. We hit out absolute lowest point as the resistance flees away, holdo dies, and Kylo declares himself supreme leader, then Yoda reinvigorates us, gives the speech about failure after all of the failures that our character went through, and then the audience feels a bit more momentum into Crait and keep Luke in the back of their mind.

I see, I didn’t notice this but good point. I’ll look at that.

I hope there will be a fan edit that cuts some of the excessive humor, but not all of it.

One that needs to go in my opinion is BB8’s AT-ST antics. How did it get in the cockpit?! That one needs to go, and so does Chewie’s porg eating scene.

I also also think Snoke’s death scene would work better if we didn’t see Luke’s lightsaber BEING turned, just that it WAS turned right after Snoke is impaled.

Which humor is seen as excessive is probably very personal. I would cut some humor, but I’m fine with the AT-ST and the porg eating. And you might be right about the Snoke scene, that’s something I will try to do and see how it feels.

The only humor I feel is really, undoubtedly out of place and truly bad is the “your mom” joke at the beginning.

This was… horrendous

I just listened to John William’s score for Dracula, and I think it would make for a nice replacement score in the sequels, possibly. It sounds a lot like Empire.
