Hi Hal9000 and team,

I know you’re in the process of changing Rey’s climactic line to “And I… am a Jedi.”, but I had an alternative idea for that line a while ago that I thought would be appropriate to share here:

Would “And we… are all the Jedi.” be plausible?

Considering your (incredibly awesome) addition of the four Force Ghosts assisting Rey, this change could really solidify the unity Rey has achieved with the rest of the past Jedi, truly making it ALL of them who overcome Palpatine, who in contrast only has himself and his raw power, a true embodiment of the ethics of the Light and Dark sides, as well as further concluding the film’s through-line about “There are more of us”, which is also helped by sherlockpotter’s excellent redo of the Zorii-Poe convo. It would also make it less directly similar to the “I am Iron Man” exchange from Avengers: Endgame.

Your call of course, and I’m not even sure if this line would be possible to pull off. Maybe it’s also already been suggested. Regardless, “I am a Jedi” is a great change, and you guys are doing awesome work!

Btw I recently finished all of your ST edits, and I loved them. I’ll work my way through the prequels and then leave some thoughts on each film!
