That’s a fair criticism, as this is a pretty lax edit in terms of story changes. That’s my usual style; I would like for this to be something that truly could have been projected in place of the original and not cause any more problems. To feel really polished and not have anything iffy. (As far as I can help in the fan editor role. Do no harm.)

If that’s the main criticism, then I feel good. lol
And I will certainly join anyone in hoping someone goes further with more changes and ideas past this “safe” starting place. It’s not that I like this movie better than the others, just that there’s not a lot of wiggle room to finesse without taking it to territory I’m not big on. I still hope to do a ‘Rey Nobody’ edit once the world can see Dominic’s work on that front.

TFA:R is pretty conservative, too, but it has some elegant restructuring that really helps the overall narrative and plot. Nothing equivalent has been found yet for TROS. And I haven’t had nearly the same chance to give this project the sort of thought I did all the others, as my life is pretty different and I have practically zero free time, energy, or mental space.
