It helps to have such a supportive community. I mean, it’s great that my and poppasketti’s TLJ edits both exist, right? Even though they share a lot of their DNA, each was worth producing.
TFA has that elegant idea emerge from across the Internet: move Hosnian destruction to third act. TLJ was mostly addressing unrelated things a given editor saw fit to change.
TROS seems so very cramped, but I shouldn’t underestimate the creativity and genius that will likely be applied to this in time. And with any luck, the act of doing fan editing work on this one will represent making the best of it and help accept it for future enjoyment.
