I think Luke’s comment on fear is much more thematically relevant to this film’s story. Rey and Luke each gave into fear of their inner darkness/failure and exiled themselves. I like that little scene the way it is and don’t plant to change it or further truncate it.

Nev, that’s a distinct improvement! The establishing shot at the beginning is perfect. Rey throwing stuff at Ren’s TIE feels perhaps too orange now that the sun(s) has/have set. Would feel right for a sunset but now for dusk, IMO.
The sitting on a log scene looks good, though there are three or four shots that would benefit from masking the sky in order to darken it further.
I wonder if it’d be even better to have the hut interior pre-flashback as being pretty darn dark outside, then a bit lighter post-flashback, leading into a sunrise as she heads outdoors.
Also, it feels in isolation that the sunrise feels more like a sunset with this grade. Maybe in reality sunrise and sunset look similarly orange, but it feels more like a sunset to me. Not sure if that’s useful!

Sherlockpotter, I think a tiny bit of purple could be nice, but nothing near the level in that clip.

Fantastic work so far; nothing surprises me anymore. I’m sure this scene will get into sublime shape.
