Hello again everyone!

I really like what ultimately ended up happening with DotF playing over the DSII duel. Feels like a real good compromise. Hal, to answer your question from 10,000 years ago, I slowed down that version of DotF myself to better sync it to the scene.

Regarding the Mustafar Minute, I have a couple thoughts. I think the sequence flowed better when you cut from the interior of the troop transport straight to Kylo’s close-up, since the shot composition inside the transport is pretty tight. As is, you’re cutting from wide landscape -> wide of landers… landing -> tight inside landers -> wide of troops -> tight on Kylo. Going tight, then wide, then tight again gives the scene a weird rhythm I feel.

I also think the landscape shot should be mirrored so that the TIEs are traveling from left to right. Every other First Order element in this sequence are either facing or traveling left to right: the Star Destroyer is pointing screen right, the landers and troopers move screen right, and Kylo fights his way through the forest from left to right. It’s a little thing, but continuity of motion goes a long way.
