I went ahead and updated the OP with more current info. Here’s my thoughts and questions about what remains that is needed for V2, with an eye on what is truly required to complete it. I’d like to have it out in time for the film’s second anniversary, though ultimately it will just be finished when it’s finished.

  • Mustafar minute, mentioned in the post above this one.

  • The Youngling voiceover. CaptainFaraday was working on incorporating it into the mix, which in this case is trickier than it sounds. Absolute worst case, it is included but almost too subtle to notice, since it’s too cool to pass up.

  • Jonh only comes around once in a blue moon, and there are two things needed from him: the updated and improved ghost quartet footage and fixing some of the glitches as he gave Luke a haircut on Ach-To.

  • Cracked saber FX. I super hope I’m wrong, but it looks like MoviesRemastered may have left for good. If so, this will increase work for Luka Frik. The first part of the movie still needs this effect: the training scene, underground on Pasaana, Rey vs. TIE, and meeting Zorri. This is very time-consuming work, so it may be some time before it’s completed. If Luka could chime in, I’d appreciate his perspective here.

  • Removing Rey’s milky eyes during a brief shot during her vision sequence. I think Neverar said he would likely tackle this at some point. Not essential, though, so it could safely be omitted.

That’s it! There are a couple other things, such as the sabers fizzling out, that I would need from others and that I would include if I ever do but I’m okay with excluding if not.
