From a fan-editing perspective, I feel like I see two strong directions people tend to lean in.

  1. People who want to keep the gist of how TROS played. Just try to improve the movie that is there, even if you don’t agree with every decision.

  2. People who liked TLJ tend to hard disagree with TROS’ story decisions more, so they have a stronger inclination to change the film more drastically.

I think the community has done a great job with Ascendant, and imo, it will most likely be seen as the definitive edit that generally keeps most of the story decisions the same. There will eventually be a Rey Nobody version, but the main version keeps Rey Palpatine. The biggest divergence from canon in Ascendant is arguably Leia’s saber color. Since we already have a great edit almost complete that generally sticks with how TROS played out, I think that reason alone makes more drastic changes worth discussing. Changes like having Ben Solo live, or don’t have Palpatine “return” somehow. I actually think a “Solo Lives” alternate ending would be a great topic for EddieDean’s idea of monthly community-driven projects.

With that being said, I would still love to see suggestions for smaller changes that make TROS’ story decisions work better or make more sense.
