I’m not bothered by canon fodder about how lightsabers work. In TLJ it was broken in half, and in this movie Rey has reforged it but feels conflicted about her inner darkness. Makes perfect sense to me that the saber should crackle in a similar fashion as Kylo’s. It’s sort of like Luke wearing black in ROTJ: it makes us question whether she may actually go dark.

Can you make two versions available, one with and without the crackle effect for those of us who aren’t a fan of it.

I can’t. I’m already going to do a Rey Nobody cut at some point, but the final product should be plenty high quality enough to be worked from if anyone wishes to tweak or do anything else to.

Hey, Hal? How would you feel if I tried to put together a possible extension or new re-cut of Ben’s death for more grieving over his loss?

Well, I’d welcome it, of course. Have at it!

I know you already are gonna put Kylo in as a force ghost on Tatooine, but have you considered adding Anakin too? Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlnRy7g--tU

We have considered it, but I think that’d be way too distracting and unnecessary. It feels right to have just Luke, Leia, and Ben.

Also, I do agree the saturation could stand to be dialed down on the cover.
