Some classic Star Wars scene transitions here and there
NEW New background music in some scenes and scene transitions (only using TLJ and TFA OST)
NEW There can be no Star Wars without a Wilhelm Scream somewhere in the movie 😉

Changed:

The intro crawl text changed slightly to include that Snoke has been training “his apprentice Kylo Ren” and that the rebels are certain that “young Rey will find Luke Skywalker and with his help restore a spark of hope to the fight”.
The first battle against the Dreadnought is much more fluid and intense now and not broken up by silly jokes
Moved the scene where Leia tells C3PO to “whipe that nervous expression off his face” to right after the Dreadnought cannons move to point on the rebel cruiser making it a better fit
NEW Although General Hux is still not the most intimidating bad guy, at least now he is spared the humiliation by his superiors in front of his fellow officers, restoring some of his dignity and the appearance of him being a respected General.
NEW The first time we see Luke and Rey, he is already holding the light saber in his hands, showing us that at least some time has gone by since the ending of TFA.
Instead of throwing away the light saber, Luke gives it back to Rey and tells her that he’s sorry before walking off, making her confused expression right after, more believable.
Leia dies in the second assault of the First Order
Luke has a vision of Leia floating in space after he reconnects with the force
NEW Teleportation of matter like water via force call is not possible anymore (shown when Kylo wipes his face to reveal that water from Ahch-To island was transported to him). Now it looks like he’s wiping away some sweat after his intense conversation with Rey.
NEW Luke now seems more skilled in the fight with Rey. He doesn’t fall down, after she hits him on the head the first time but immediately turns around to stop her second strike at which point he has a force vision of Rey tempted by the dark side and hears Master Yoda’s warning voice telling him not to attack her. This results in him just dodging her hits and staying on the defensive. The one time he falls down now, he breaks his fall with the force, showing us that he could have easily beaten her if he wanted to. This changed scene now also implies that if he had attacked her, he would have probably driven her away even more causing her to join Kylo later when he offers Rey to come to his side. Her refusal to do so has more meaning now.
When Poe asks Admiral Holdo, if she has a plan, it now seems like she gives in an is going to tell him what the mission is. When they leave her alone on the cruiser and Poe leaves with the transport ships, it looks like they are working together.
NEW To showcase that they are indeed working together there is a montage with a voice-over explaining the escape plan to Crait to Poe and the audience.
The reveal that Rose is Paige’s sister comes much later in the last act on Crait when she touches the second half of the medallion as she is flying towards the large cannon, creating a better connection/contrast to the beginning of the movie. Her sister died in battle, she survives.
NEW Now the Millennium Falcon enters the battle on Crait gracefully and with style. The first thing we see is it’s shadow and not an exaggerated triple kill shot
When Poe tells Finn to pull back, it now looks like he is following his order
Luke makes his last stand with a green light saber instead of the blue one making the reveal, that he is not really there, more surprising.
The movie ends with Luke surviving and looking out at the sunset, coming full circle. He looked at it as a baby in “Revenge of the Sith”, as a young man in “A New Hope” and finally as an old Jedi Master.
NEW When Luke stares at the sunset for the first time there was a small black dot that was removed to avoid the misconception that he is staring at something small in front of the sun
Color grading of the whole movie (greenish/yellow tint removed and more color vibrance)
