Hey, Dominic. I know I’m going to sound oblivious for saying this, but is your edit done, and will it be released in 5.1 surround sound?

Edit is not done, working on a second workprint right now. 5.1 will happen at some point, either upon official V1 release or maybe a V2.

When the title was first revealed, I assumed it referred to A) The rise of the Skywalker legend, with tale of Luke’s heroics spreading throughout the galaxy and igniting the spark of rebellion, and B) Ben Solo, the last Skywalker, rising from darkness, like Jake said. I even considered the idea the film would’ve revealed that Luke ascended to a higher plane of the Force, where he could interact with the living more directly, as if he rose from the dead. Either way, I think if those first two plot points I mentioned were kept or emphasized more, then the title still works.

Basically there’s three different things that go into making the title work. Luke’s legend, Ben’s turn, and Rey’s taking the mantle. The film as is dropped the first bit, did the second one in the background mainly, and made the third one explicit. This is my thought though. I’m trying to reintroduce the first bit, but it’s still very minimal. If I remove the explicit third bit, and leave it as a subtle thing, that’s essentially three background/subtle explanations for the title. In every other film I think the title is a bit more obvious, so that’s where I’m at with that.
