Thanks for the kind words guys. Was definitely curious to see the reaction to these.
I really like the flashing between the shots of helmeted Kylo and dark Rey, and the sound effects.
That was driven by the line that Rey saw both herself and Ren on the throne. Barring a VFX shot of him sitting on her lap or something, I thought this might at least give the suggestion that she saw both her and him together.
It’s cool to finally see what you had in mind for Kylo repairing his mask. It definitely gives more clarification as to what motivates Kylo to reforge his mask.
Things have definitely changed a bit from what I outlined in my cutlist, but I’m glad I found a way to fit it in that people seem to like.
I also like how you cut Kylo’s scene in between Rey’s training. I did the exact same thing, but your flashes are wonderful.
Phenomenal editing. Dare I say; it feels more smoothly edited than theatrical TROS. In my personal edit, I’ve been working on trying to stick more of Kylo into Rey’s angry training scene, but I think you’ve convinced me that it plays very well without any cutting back and forth at all. Very excited to see the rest of this.
I think for me this was definitely the moment in the theater when I thought ‘this editing is way too hectic.’ I can definitely see the rationale for keeping the Kylo portion together with the Rey portion, and I tried it that way at first, but this feels more right for what I’m going for.
