  • Scene 1: Rey: Day in the Life (because the transition from stars is just so dang good)

Is this the transition you’re referring to? (Password: fanedit)

Overall, I like the idea behind this edit. The Luke and Rey story is the strongest completed aspect of this trilogy since Finn has been tragically dumped by the wayside, so focusing on that makes a lot of sense.

What would the crawl of such a film look like?

Yes! Very much so. It’s like…why wasn’t it that way to begin with?

So for right now, I’m thinking of making it more its own standalone thing, so it wouldn’t have the standard episode crawl. It may have something Solo or Blade Runner-esque. But since it’s (kind of?) part of the Skywalker Saga…I’m open to other opinions lol.

Also, you said overall. I’m curious to see what changes you think will really work and what things you might not agree with?

Well for the TFA section I don’t know how you would delay the Ben Solo reveal unless you heavily edited the interrogation like in DigMod’s edit. Personally I don’t think it quite works.

Also, Ben’s redemption comes pretty much out of nowhere in TROS so it would probably feel extra strange at the end of TLJ after he has doubled down on villainy. I would also like to include that scene in some capacity, but have no idea how it would work.
