DZ-330, I actually had the same feeling on extending the last radio shot. It just needs another beat to let the music resolve a bit more. Good call!

Axios, that’s good feedback! The transmission effect is an early pass, so it will need refining. I’m not sure about the color of of signal, as it’s the same color as what was originally there (original shot showed the signal as a simple sign wav), but I’ll take a look! The other thing that needs to be done is add some depth of field blur to match the rest of the monitor, so that should help.

As for the broom boy, I’ll have to see how it feels to watch the whole thing again when the V3 changes are done. The extra material in Canto Bight is good thematic background either way, but I’ve also always been a fan of the ending. It just makes the universe finally feel expansive and emotionally resonant at the same time, paying off Luke’s sacrifice (which is critically important now that TROS didn’t do it justice).

I also agree with Hal on this, who said (paraphrasing hopefully accurately) that Star Wars movies tend to end with an extended scene without dialogue, letting the music build towards the finale and giving the audience time to relax and reflect. Going from princess Leia’s last line to the end credits in 8 seconds just doesn’t feel right.
