Finished watching the workprint a little while ago and PMed Hal some feedback that he suggested I post here in the main thread!
-I think all of the edits Hal and everyone else (especially poppasketti, jonh, Movies Remastered, and many others!) have made so far work really well. I hadn’t seen any footage of Leia’s purple lightsaber outside of the Force ghost clips that jonh posted, and the final product looks amazing.
-Does anyone have any ideas on getting rid of the “Somehow Palpatine returned” line? It’s so… bad, but I don’t know how the scene can work without anyone directly mentioning it.
-On Endor: I think if you cut away after Rey repeats the dagger inscription to herself, and don’t show her holding it up and stuff, the scene would still work without the ridiculousness of lining up the blade perfectly with the Death Star wreckage that somehow hasn’t moved an inch after crashing into the ocean 30 years ago. Perhaps add some Sith whispers when Rey is pulling the dagger from her bag and start the Imperial March motif sooner so it’s sort of implied that, as the inscription says, the blade is literally telling her? Then add more whispers as she’s wandering through the wreckage so it’s like they’re guiding her.
-Hal wasn’t as into this idea as I was, but what does everyone think about giving Ben a few more lines so that his last word isn’t “ow”? I thought maybe taking some of his dialogue from TLJ and recycling it so he can speak when resurrecting Rey, like “Rey… Please…” or something.
