To address something from MR’s thread, I hadn’t really planned on using his clip of added sparks to the sabers at the end of Exegol. But, the final product looks fantastic!
Please include this! It makes Rey burying them at the end make so much more sense. They served their purpose and now she has her own path. If we really want to try something cool… when Rey ignites her saber there is a green and blue color during the ignition. Can the green be recolored to purple? Implying both sabers broke and Rey used the Kyber Crystals to make her own lightsaber with them would help sell Rey Skywalker more, at least for me.
Before Covid hit I did plan to shoot a new scene where Rey builds her Saber much like Luke’s deleted scene from OT and have her merge both Luke & Leia’s Krystals to make her colour, which would’ve been a pinky violet.
