Here’s what I’m leaning toward as far as placement: https://vimeo.com/515582857

Yeah this placement works the best IMO. It doesn’t split up the shot of Kylo looking toward his mom and it draws your eyes to the medal as Leia lays down

I ask because people on this edit, myself included, liked the idea that Ben still has a crackley saber even on the light side. It shows that his past actions still exist. Also, some people could think it was a major visual effects error because up until that point the effect has blatantly been there.

Agreed, I think the idea of Anakin’s saber crackling when Ben wields it is the most symbolically powerful part
