Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. There is a spot or two that I’ve since realized better ways to edit them to be less choppy, but not enough yet to warrant doing another version.

I was very concerned about using “Duel of the Fates” as the title. I really didn’t like taking Trevorrow’s title, but I felt it fit this edit very well. In the end serving this edit seemed most important.

I understand what you mean about the end. I didn’t want to lose the Luke island scene entirely, so I had to stick it in after the climax. I originally considered using a very truncated version of the scene as a Force vision Rey had after stabbing Kylo, but before she tells him she wanted to take Ben’s hand. That didn’t work well, so I just let it play out afterward. I felt the film was better with it at the end rather than not at all. I knew an edit this radical was going to have some compromises. I was expecting to have to make a lot more than I did.
