Watched your v3 workprint from start to finish last night and am happy to see the changes are subtle but all are worth the attention with the Canto Bight balcony scene adding more depth to the good vs bad view and just that bit more screen time to better explain broom boys charactor for whom I dont mind. Also the new phasmas corpse scene isnt too in your face and I really like how it works reminds me of how Bobba Fett met his rather humble demise 😁. Would be nice to not have Rey interpret Chewie for Luke also.
At this stage for me The Last Jedi Legendary edit is pretty much the best it can be there are a few slight frame cuts and one deleted scene that would be nice to be added but understand why its not put in this edit.
Possible small fixes are:
@ 23:35 - Luke Fishing Scene
Issue: Rey shouts careful as the jedi master jumps over to the cliff on the pole.
Fix: Possibly cutting to Lukes face as he looks over and removing her shout out as if to say follow me now.
@ 1:13:10 - Rey vs Luke
Issue: As Rey fells Luke and holds his sabre over him the jedi master looks up helplessly.
Fix: By cutting to Rey unigniting the sabre strait after Luke holds himself with the force from the fall we can remove the initial shocked expression which helps play out the my mind is not in the fight viewpoint.
@ 1:37:52 - Praetorian Guards Missing Blade
Issue - The infirmus praetorian guard missing blade scene which you see him holding in his left hand one moment then badly CGIed out the next.
Fix: Cut from Kylos zoom in to the moment after the sabre strikes @ 1:37:53 where his left bladed hand is not visible we can then assume he lost the missing blade during the stuggle with Rey.
And now the missing scene which I know wont go in because it goes against your efforts in this edit but hey can’t blame a StarWars fan for trying 😉, maybe if you could have a version of your edit with just only a very trimmed down scene with the caretakers introduction from Luke just so we can get Lukes deleted third lession scene in some form into The Last Jedi Legendary. Mate everytime I watch this in my head I see that missing scene which works so well to explain what Luke is trying to convey to Rey and us the audiense that hey the Jedi of old would rather meditate over “their” force then get involved in other peoples problems.
