Very well written. Thank you. At the end of the day, me bringing up removing that line in TLJ was just me trying to convince everyone not to delete anything else from Ascendant. And I’m not forcing anyone to agree with me on why I feel that line deletion is necessary. I just don’t want this project to deviate too much from its source material.
I will definitely follow this thread when we delve into a more radical “Rey Nobody” edit, or an entirely different project that removes large portions of the film. I probably won’t use them as my preferred edits, but I like to look at other projects for ideas.
