I have recently completed a fan edit of The Last Jedi that seeks to make the film work as a conclusion to the Skywalker saga. My goal is to make VERY MINIMAL changes to most of TLJ, using HAL9000’s LEGENDARY edition of the film as a base. My edit seeks to strengthen the sense of finality in the film.

My changes are as follows:

Removed reference to Knights of Ren as Luke’s old students. It can now be inferred that they are Snoke’s guards
Added Leia training with Luke as a flashback, as per rocknroll41’s suggestion. This uses Leia’s purple saber by skenera
Removed all references to Kylo being named Supreme Leader
Removed Luke’s “the war is just beginning” and Kylo’s previous statement about it being over
Removed Kylo’s threat of “destroying all of it” and Luke’s follow-up.
Removed the First Order storming the base. The last we see of Kylo is him screaming in defeat
Removed Rey meeting Poe Dameron. Just feels like setup
Removed Rey and Leia’s lines about “rebuilding the Rebellion”
Added both the Star Destroyer montage and Rey at the Skywalker home from TROS
Removed Leia’s ghost from the end of TROS

I believe my current work looks promising. I’d love any input on this and please add any other suggestions. Thank you

UPDATE: V1 is now complete! PM for details.

This isn’t an earth shattering reinterpretation of the film but I believe it provides enough closure for the saga that viewers new and old alike should be satisfied (given they liked TLJ as a film). Once again, HAL9000’s brilliant fanedit is what I worked off and improvements to the film overall are due to him.

V2 will likely be more ambitious and I am always open to new suggestions.
