I’ll go through all the questions one by one.

Collipso, thanks for your interest in the edit!

  1. For the more bombastic version of the opening crawl music, I used the crawl music from the Empire Strikes Back. The reason I don’t find any issues with this is that when the regular crawl music fades out, it doesn’t continue with the Empire Strikes Back music. It goes right into the Force Awakens music after the crawl.

Sorry for the consulted explanation, but my point is that there is no difference except the crawl music is louder and more impactful since I used the ESB version while not letting it run too long to miss TFA music.

  1. I made the removal of Rey correcting Han a while ago on my own. I saw ironman23’s version of the duel, and I was inspired by it but did it differently than him. I guess you could say I was a little more conservative with my cutting of that duel. I forgot to add that I also made Finn lose a lot quicker to Kylo. I made sure to keep as many of Kylo’s cool looking swings and moves though 😃 Finn just never lands a shot and gets beat much quicker.

  2. And yes, the standard version will absolutely use the stabilized helicopter shot from Restructured. It’s one of the best subtle changes in an already amazing edit.
