This is such an incredible edit and enjoy it very much!
Sad for me that my friend hosted a mini marathon of the sequels and did not want the fan edits … only original movies at his home. After watching those, it always helps galvanize my appreciation for edits to help approve on it. Your restructured edit really helps improve upon the plot/actions involving Planet DeathStarTM and the republic … that was just awesome!
I will be curios to see how the final movie goes to see how it affects these edits, I am hoping either minor or not at all.
As per your through Hal about Emperor’s laugh, it would be a neat experiment if you did it in a subtle way … maybe have it combined with a Snoke line/laugh or something. I feel like less obvious/more subtle the better.
