The cut implies a passage of time but visually it’s a pretty jarring cut. It doesn’t imply so much as it just jumps the suns ahead a couple minutes. I think the fix works fine as-is, but I was thinking about that jump and wondering how it could be made a little smoother and that’s when it occurred to me you can actually smooth out the “passage of time” aspect by repurposing the footage of the ghosts while removing the old woman entirely, plus providing an opportunity to “close the book” on the Skywalker Saga by actually irising out on the twins.

Also I think you could use one of the concert suite versions of Luke & Leia to build to the end credits in that case, too.

You are correct that it’s a binary SUNRISE either way. Force of habit has me referring to it the other way around.
