The next thing Iād be looking into would be to add a laser blast to show Finnās ship getting blasted. Iām not sure I could roto out the second ship during the collision, but I think to some (not all!), the mind accepts the shots of the crash as being parts of the same ship. Iām also still thinking about having Rose crash, but for now, leaning against it, because I love the build-up to Finnās suicide run as it was originally put together.
This sounds like a fantastic set of edits coming together here. If you were to include some tweaks to the Luke āsaber tossā scene (ala Ivan), this would be really close to my perfect cut.
Thank you, Iām glad you like the edits! I agree it would be nice to improve the Luke saber toss. The thing with Ivanās version is that heās very much changing Lukeās character in the movie, having Luke accept his role to train Rey immediately. In this (Halās) version, Lukeās saber toss fits with his behavior in the first half and makes the statement that Luke has become jaded. It just looks a bit silly, played for comedy. I like darthrushās version, with him just dropping it, but Iām not sure yet if thatās what I would want to do. Iām also thinking the music may have something to do with the comedic timing of the moment, and wondering if a music tweak could help.
