That makes sense. Honestly, since release, Last Jedi has been my favourite of this trilogy. The alterations I’m making are minimal, and more about adding the deleted scenes than cutting things out. I posted a detailed list of what I did here:

I Liked having Kylo know about Palpatine going into The Last Jedi, because it adds more weight to him asking her to take his hand. He knows there’s more out there, and he wants to stay in control of the First Order to “kill the past”.
