You’re kind of meaning in general, right? Like we edit the film throughout to help smooth out the tone to be more in line with the OT tone?

Another random thought (I’m having a lot of those), I know the Knights of Ren have been confirmed in canon books to not be Luke’s other students, but you could add dialogue from the Knights to imply them being dark side enthusiasts OR his students. It could help make Ben more sympathetic if there’s the implication that the Knights may have also pressured him to do the things he’s done. Just a thought though.
