Morning TiMartin

Thanks for the link to this yesterday.

So I’ve watched it through and thought I’d give you some feedback on your excellent work:-

Wow. Thank you so much.

I have not received such an in-depth review. Just as you thanked me for my time, now I thank you for yours. I truly appreciate your feedback and honesty.

Since I am not the writer/director, I can accept all of your criticisms related to story. I set out hoping to respect the audience’s time, knowing their own criticisms and the fact that they’ve seen this film at least once before. My main challenge was: how can I make this look like its own cut, and not just one of the billion fan edits out there? So, your compliment means a lot.

Next year, I will have released a new cut of Revenge of the Sith, encapsulating moments of other prequels, as a sort of tribute to the film’s 15th anniversary. The intentions are completely different from this Last Jedi cut, as I won’t be removing much - only adding and recutting select sequences. I hope to make a tribute to something I grew up watching, having been the first Star Wars movie I ever saw in a theater. Looking forward to sharing it with you!
