Here’s a full mockup of the Ach-To sequence, featuring a regrade by NeverArGreat:

I’m going to be 100% honest… I’m not a fan of this. 😕
I’m not entirely sure why but something is kind of off about it (don’t really understand what day cycle is supposed to be happening). Plus, I think it’s a change that doesn’t really need to be implemented in the film in the first place. I was fine with the Ahch-To sequence as is in regards to the time of day it was set.
But, that’s just me. Others might like it.
I think the latter half of the regrade looks great, the first half is too orange, i think it needs to be darker.
The shot originally is way too artificial, they are clearly on a set, as an irish person, id recognise real irish grass anywhere lol, but it’s fake as hell in the sequence with luke, its too green, the mockup fixes that issue.
I think going from the planet the rebels are on, to another planet with the same type of light, it just feels bland as hell and feels last minute. The lighting is so fake looking and so green. It pulls me right out of the movie.
We are supposed to feel for Rey, while the background is all calm and happy looking.
EDIT: the second half of the regrade is amazing in my opinion, look at how much better Luke looks! when he says the '‘thousands generations’ line, i love it.
