TROS was my least favorite SW movie on release. It wasn’t that it was horrendously unwatchable. The problem was that TROS was so bland and unremarkable for what should’ve been a momentous movie. This edit definitely does a lot of work in order to add that celebratory feeling and make the movie a bit more cohesive in the process. I enjoyed watching something that I had no interest in rewatching. One small change that had a surprisingly major effect were the “for skywalker” cries. The only time the original movie really mentions the mythic finale of TLJ (the best scene of the ST imo), it completely negate the impact of that scene (“crait didn’t inspire anything”). This fixes that. The force ghosts and the restructuring of the opening scenes are also great touches. Great job.
