Hal,

Finally watched your TFA Edit! Loved it! Love the new opening crawl! Gives you a good idea the state of the galaxy. Along with the deleted Leia scene you get even a better understanding of things. I really enjoy the placement of Star Killer destroying the New Republic during the climatic battle. Gives it way more emotional weight to the entire scene and movie.

I know why you deleted Kylo Ren saying Fins code name at the beginning of the film because you thought it was too on the nose, but I always liked that line because I felt like it foreshadowed Fins force sensitivity. Kylo could sense him during the battle. I always thought that’s the direction the film was going for even before Rise of Skywalker. I think TLJ kind of ditched that Ark for Fin.

Thoughts?
