Of course you can keep working on it, but I think I am leaning towards keep the smoke but not the eyes. Maybe. I’ll keep watching it and pondering about it more and more.
This was my initial thought as well, but it might be worth getting for thoughts on.
EDIT: Tbf, it might seem obvious in retrospect, but maybe that is good. If the Sith eyes would’ve been in the theatrical film, people would’ve still speculated for two years about what it meant. Then when the Palpatine reveal happens people would feel like it was obvious in retrospect, which I think is the goal, isn’t it?
