Thank you for commenting! I’ll try to answer everything.

• I’ve had second thoughts about replacing the main theme. I don’t feel strongly about it so it might as well be left as it is.

• I’ll try to not Lucas it up, yes. 😉 It’s mostly the desert bird where I add unnecessary digital effects, but I think it will look nice.

• I do love the shot of Kylo’s saber ignition. If I can fit it in it could be a nice addition.

• I do plan on cutting Rey’s arrival on Ahch-To and saving it for my TLJ edit. Originally I thought it should stay, but after seeing TLJ I felt the cliffhanger was unnecessary.

• I’m not removing any Snoke scene, just some dialogue. The Ben Solo reveal will be gradual but I will keep Han/Leia talking about him before Kylo removes his helmet for Rey, so at that point it will be clear who he is.

• Thank you, I might fine tune the island vision a bit, we’ll see.

• I don’t plan on removing Ren’s wrath.

• I don’t mind how Finn gets his name, I don’t see how it could be handled differently. I feel like that’s when he and Poe becomes friends, so it has a use. I don’t mind “that one heck of a pilot” either.

• I see your point about the X-wings, but I haven’t really thought about it and I think it would be too much work to change it, sorry.

• All changes from Restructured will stay, yes! 😃

Thank you for your interest. I still have a lot of work left, but there could be clips and perhaps a workprint cut coming up in the next months.
