Wonderful! I would insert that into my edit!

Check your PM! šŸ˜‰

If anyone else would like full res versions (prores HQ, 5.1 audio) of any specific changes to slot into your edits, please PM me.

The next thing I’d be looking into would be to add a laser blast to show Finn’s ship getting blasted. I’m 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. I’m also still thinking about having Rose crash, but for now, leaning against it, because I love the build-up to Finn’s 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 ā€˜saber toss’ scene (ala Ivan), this would be really close to my perfect cut.

Thank you, I’m glad you like the edits! I agree it would be nice to improve the Luke saber toss. The thing with Ivan’s version is that he’s very much changing Luke’s character in the movie, having Luke accept his role to train Rey immediately. In this (Hal’s) version, Luke’s 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 darthrush’s version, with him just dropping it, but I’m not sure yet if that’s what I would want to do. I’m also thinking the music may have something to do with the comedic timing of the moment, and wondering if a music tweak could help.
