This edit was exactly what I was hoping for with the emphasis being to tighten the original films story arch like Hals previous edits of the sequal trilogy without going too far out there which other edits can do using this as a template. By far the best two changes being the end battle with the emperor & the Exegol ship battle…

All fighters reporting in “That’s not a navy, sir. It’s just… people” 😁👌

Possible Changes/Addition Ideas:

Mustafar

  • 00:03:10 - Palpatines “find me” line to Kylo
    Sounds a bit clean possibly give his voice some dream like fx, maybe adding an echoing effect ?

Beginning Chase

  • Remove Klaud scenes
    As already been mentioned by others

  • Make Boolio speak Alien & adding subtitles
    Although Mark Hamill voiced him the scene would feel alot better to have the charactor subed.

Resistance Base

  • Remove light speed skip talk from 00:13:41 to 00:13:51

Passana

  • Remove “they fly now!”
    As already been mentioned by others

  • Remove Kylos exploding tie centre piece after crash @ 00:38:44

  • 00:39:31 - Rey & Kylo Force Pulling Ship
    I find it really odd how close they both are to each other yet Kylo instead of just walker over to Rey just stands there using the force then watches as they run off. Removing 00:39:31 to 00:39:33 and slight cropping of Ren @ 00:37:47 & 00:39:55 we are left thinking theres some distance between Rey & Ren.
    Too Close

Kijimi

  • 00:45:39 Zorii telling Poe “I want to see your brains in the snow”
    Doesn’t sound like what a StarWars character would say. dropping that line leaving her slight nod to Poe holding a gun to his head would be a much better effect.

Exegol

  • 01:50:04 - Dyad Exposition Talk
    Having Palpatine explaining more exposition at this point does cheapen the scene more so if it was possible to just have him simply realising theres a mysterious force between Rey & Ren without touting the dyad exposition it would add more by saying less. Also maybe remove talk elsewhere about force Dyad.

  • 01:57:12 - Have the force ghosts disappear AFTER Palpatine explodes @ 01:57:17

Theres one other final big change which I feel would make a big diference involving Leia & the sabre battle with Rey & Ben but I’ll try and show it rather then explain it here via a mock up I’ll do to better explain.
Also cutting Chewies original alive reveal does kind of speed up on screen an already fast pasted film.

Even if these ideas are ignored I still think the edits core changes are already good as is.
😁✌
