Too many things to comment on at the moment!
I think skipping “Leia knew it too” is the way to go.
I’d happily remove Klaud if those two shots can be worked on to remove him.
I’ll try again to remove the lightspeed skipping dialogue.
I’ll try a quick cross fade as Finn senses Rey dying. Good idea!
I plan to include lines for the Knights of Ren from the other thread, but probably just a couple.
Hey there Hal, just watched the edit. It is already a vast improvement on what we got. There has already been quite the discussion on things and to not add on so much, I like this direction you plan on doing. There are still 2 major eye rolls for me, which you plan on fixing by removing the “Leia knew” thing. It totally breaks the first two movies quite frankly. Especially Luke in TLJ.
Anyway, the other eye roll is still the dagger “pop out” on Endor that points to the location of the Wayfinder. A simpler thing to do is to remove that pop out and make use of Sith whispers to “guide” Rey.
It’s a Sith thing, has dark side power to it and she has been guided by it before. (Sensing it on the Destroyer before her first duel with Kylo.)
The pop out part is just so … cheesy. Too Gooney. Also, it really makes no sense why they dude would chose a specific spot on “Endor,” made a design to “line” up with the DSII spot. It’s so bad.
Sith whispers is such a simple solution.
