Indenpendent of the veracity of a “JJcut”, TROS screams for a new cut. In my dream world, someone like Dave Filoni would be the perfect guy to take the job of edit this movie.
TROS is a problematic movie that had 3 months less of post-production in an already rushed production, most of the final product problems are related to pacing and story decisions that could be fixed with the supervision of a sharp editor and no fear to cut what doesn’t work.
HAL’s edit, for example, it’s in a 4th workprint and it’s already a far better movie than the original TROS, and is being done by this very community, being done with the incredible budget of the power of love and friendship, so imagine what the guys at LF could do?
I don’t believe in a JJcut, not by a long shot, but i believe that, somewhere in the vaults of the Big Bad Mouse, there is more than enough material to craft a beautiful ending for the trilogy as we all deserved. Sincerely, i don’t even bother to ask for a new cut of this movie, I just hope for a release of deleted/alternate scenes, like the Mustafar extended sequence, etc.
