I really like your changes! No Leia spacewalk, No Phasma fight, your new Finn sequence in the battle. I also think there should be a more obvious claok/hood on the figure in Rey’s vision.

Full Palpatine Scene

My garage video editor messed up the frames when exporting but the idea is still the same haha

JEDIT: Updated link with corrected video

I like this version best, if the transition from “Only together” and “will you experience…” can be smoothed out so it’s not as obviously edited, but I guess you’ve already decided on the other version.

If the ending of the broom boy scene is removed does this now mean the scene of Finn and Rose in Canto Bight where we see broom boy being whipped is now obsolete?

This was only added in poppa V2 edit to give more context to broom boy. If the broom boy is removed at the end at the movie then the scene is pointless. The scene does give a bit more background on Rose backstory so maybe broom boy could be removed it possible.

Why not move it to the end of The Rise of Skywalker, where… (massive spoilers ahead!!!)

… we see the montage of First Order Star Destroyers being destroyed across the galaxy? Simple, just insert a destroyed Star Destroyer into the shot of the boy looking at the night sky.

I agree that Broom Boy should be removed from the end, and I love this idea to put it in TROS.
