This edit has me really intrigued. One of the aspects I don’t really like about TLJ is its tricky relationship with the “show, don’t tell”. At some points it gives you sequences with interesting and bold storytelling decisions (like the Rashomon flashbacks) and then there’s others where there’s dialogue and editing choices that spoonfeed everything, like Rey’s experience at the vision, where we hear her voiceover explanation at the very same time we are watching it, and it makes it feel cheaper as a result.
TLJ has good themes, and I think they can really benefit from a more concise, focused approach. Looking forward to this and I hope to apply in an eventual edit of mine some of the more original changes you’re making (like having DJ be the Master Codebreaker).
