Option B for the inclusion of the Wilhelm is nothing short of MASTERFUL. I Love it!!! 😃

Re: the removal of the insignia ring:- For me personally, the ring was never something that bothered me one way or another. I can see the logic for it’s removal, especially considering the much needed reduction of the Canto-bight sequence, so calling back to it when we never saw Rose give it, makes the shot completely redundant.

Overall the solution works, but I do think the close up of Broom Boy just lingers too long?

I know why, to compensate for the removal of the ring shot whilst preserving the timing of the score.

As I’ve said above, as an imperfect solution to an impossible problem, it DOES work…I’m just not sure it works better than simply leaving it alone?

Ultimately, I have such a low investment in the presence or absence of this shot, whatever Poppa decides to do with it makes no odds to me…and I mean that with full compliments to Poppa’s work on this project.

It’s so completely the definitive version of TLJ for me, that it would take a lot more than this shot to deviate me from my love for what he has done.
