Hi Anakin. While I enjoy Jakku the issue I have with it is that it feels too familiar. It’s obviously homage to Luke’s origin story which is fine in and of itself but I don’t want that in this edit. I really like the Last Jedi as it did something different and its core ideas are solid. As for the Battle of Crait it isn’t the conclusion per say. The conclusion is the fact a new status quo has emerged. Kylo Ren is the supreme leader while Rey is quite literally a new hope. I want the edit to reflect the cyclical nature of the force it doesn’t need a conclusion as it is demonstrating the galaxy will constantly be in flux and it ends where we effectively started with A New Hope. The sequel trilogy failed for me because it tried to tie everything up neatly. The edit isn’t a love letter to the past, it is supposed to be a passing of the torch.
