I watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The only thing I bumped into was the scene where Ahsoka gives Din the beskar spear. I very much enjoyed the removal of Din from Ahsoka’s work on Corvus. It really reminds viewers what a powerful character Ahsoka is.

However the sudden transition from the Ahsoka/Din/Grogu forest scene to the Ahsoka/Din outside the walls of a celebrating Calodan scene was a bit jarring. I know why it was included, but it struck me as odd that the pair would travel from the woods, into town, then back to Din’s ship.

I think that scene could be removed without causing too much of a continuity issue. The scene before; night-time in the forest with Ahsoka/Din/Grogu could flow easily into the morning after; at Din’s ship, preparing to leave. When the spear makes an appearance later in the film, audiences, if they even remember it from the Ahsoka/Morgan fight, would just assume that Ahsoka gave it to Din on Corvus.

You might also consider an earlier cut at the end of the forest scene to remove Ahsoka’s line about ‘testing’ Grogu. We don’t see that testing at all in this edit.

Anyway, this is a great edit. Thank you for making it!
