Well, I have no idea how to actually add the lightning into the shot; but I was able to add the sound effects of Rey’s lightning from earlier into the scene. If anyone who knows how to do the lightning effect wants to take over from here, that would be amazing!

reminds me of this vid i saw some time back.
Dude, those effects look fantastic! I wonder if JXEditor would be able to add them to this new shot as well? Personally, I feel like she should just use the lightning one more time, with Finn. Blocking the lightsaber with lightning…it feels too intentional to me, too deliberate. I like the implication that she’s only able to cast it when she’s losing control, rather than her actively embracing the Dark Side here.
And Jar Jar, I feel like Rey’s lightning should have its own distinct sound from Snoke’s lightning. Base it on the person casting it, rather than the type of attack. The latter feels kind of “video-gamey.” The Rey sound effect also has a bit more “oomph” to it, I think.
