Ah yeah, that’s the order. My bad about the intel timing and all. Never mind.
Still personally again the corny fortnite lines.
I get that the Fortnite message is corny, and I agree… but it’s still a better way to give this information. So much of the film is corny that if you cut all that’s corny out, you might have slightly more than a trailer.
This new villain, who was presumed dead for over 30 years within continuity and in the real world has very little setup to being a threat still. That’s why I’m one that thinks this message should be in The Last Jedi after Snoke does and just before Luke arrives on Crait and Kylo’s travelling to Exegol (with the Mustafar sequence fully cut) should replace Rey travelling to Ahch-To in The Force Awakens.
For those that don’t like seeding Palpatine into the other films, I think having this broadcast, or at least part of it, in this Resistance meeting helps act as proof that Palpatine has returned, it’s something they can tangibly witness (unlike Poe’s “Somehow, Palpatine returned” line).
I get that thinking. At least for me, using Poppa or Hal’s Hal’s Last Jedi already hints at Palps. As well as a small taser in Hal’s TFA. (The TLJ in both versions is a heavy imply right at the end.)
So using either of those two edits for TLJ already “warms us up” to Palpatine’s return. Hench, still in my head, this is not necessary with those edits in mind as well as not using the silly lines.
