When I saw ROS in theaters I was really disappointed. There were pieces of TLJ that I liked, but ROS felt like a blotched rushed mess. This seems like it might end the saga with actually bringing Balance.
That is the hope!
I really loved parts of TLJ and really hated most of ROS. Combining the two allowed me to distill TLJ and use the plot of ROS to resolve the arcs for Rey and Kylo.
Balance was a big theme in my edit. When Luke said “It’s time for the Jedi to end” I took that to heart. I tried to bring that idea to fruition in my edit, by having Luke and Rey sacrifice themselves to bring a lasting balance to the galaxy without Jedi or Sith, only with the force.
“To say that ‘if the Jedi die, the light dies’ is vanity, can you feel that?” -Luke
