I present the ending to one of the alternate versions of the release…the “Skywalker Lives” edition!
If it ended on the binary sunset shot, for me it would be perfect.
Heck, even if Luke dies, the placement of this scene is great.
I will be changing it so it ends on the sunset wide shot.
Ways this ending can be used:
-Simply watching it until episode 9.
-Editing episode 9 crawl to imply that now Luke can project himself across the galaxy without dying. Makes him more powerful and a way to explain his scenes in 9.
-Or episode 9 is terrible and episode 8 is someone’s new head canon finale to the saga.
