Thanks for posting that! I know it took some patience with your connection.
It’s too bad footage had to be reversed in order to get enough room. I think finding some alternate source for a choir belting out those notes, maybe with a little less gusto, would help make it feel diagetic to that moment.
I agree though, it’s a natural idea for that moment.
If you didn’t like the reverse extra footage you can always add the choir to Rey’s entrance to Exagol? I first added it their but I thought it made a bigger impact at the sacrifice moment.
@jkimm, If you cut it that heavy you’ll miss the “never underestimate a droid” line. If you use a cut away to bb8 you can still keep that line of dialogue.
