As previously stated I have not read or seen anything Legends related (Other than your TFA edit of course) and OMFG🤯, No… No… No… This is not TLJ it can’t be, why could we not have got if not this but something similar officially released, you somehow managed to make this edit not just enjoyable but holy s@#ts it felt like I was watching something completely new.

Great, one of the main goals was definitely to give that “new” feeling to the story Rian tried to tell. It just wasn’t something I enjoyed and I wanted to create something much closer to home.

Things I loved:
(Warning as there Spoilers)

Everything, you managed to keep in the things that almost everyone complained about and made them enjoyable.
Luke training Rey 😳😮 wtf, canto blight (ok it’s still canto but less of), Phasma which I was glad you kept in as I never really had a problem with the character and actually like the idea of the character so having her and Fin face off and Fin finally getting his resolve which I think needs to be kept in the movie.

Luke saving Laia (I first saw this in FGR’s edit), don’t ask me why I just much prefer this and I totally hate Laia Poppins scene.

Luke saves the rebellion by sending their cruiser via lightspeed crashing through the First Order, this scene was awesome as we see General Hux telling his officers that the ship is empty and I wasn’t expecting to see that happen next.

Luke force ghost in-between world’s.

Glad those things helped improve your experience!

Things I didn’t Like:

The Milking scene😞 lol.

Haha while I do understand that scene left a bad taste in a lot of mouths, I trimmed out the more obnoxious parts of it but thought just having Luke drink the milk shows that he is in tune with nature and therefore the living force. It doesn’t bother me at all when the bad half is cut out, especially with the new version of Luke I have created.

Things I won’t say I didn’t like but maybe worth rearranging (keep in mind that I have not seen anything to do with Star Wars Legends so what you are achieving won’t probably work out l but just my ideas anyway).

Luke saving Laia, I love the scene but I think bit could work a lot better if you move the scene to an earlier point, so it would work as Rey has found Luke on this Island and he is annoyed because he didn’t want to be found but realises that the resistance must be some form of serious danger for his sister to seek him out, so at the scene where we see him sneak aboard the falcon and R2 plays the help me obi hologram and Luke at this point realises how desperate the resistance is, Luke now saves Laia afterwards he see’s Rey sleeping outside his hut and then tells her “I will train you in the ways of the force”.

That’s a really cool idea actually. I’ll have to take a big picture look at the scene order again but I will definitely consider it because I think that has potential.

Luke saves the resistance by crashing their cruiser ship. I know I said I loved this scene and I really do just with this plus him saving Laia and then force projecting to face off against Kylo, don’t get me wrong yeah I love all of these additions and the official release should have had way more Luke but with all 3 plus him training Rey it just seems the resistance is relying on him just a bit too much. I know the resistance is meant to be on its knees and that’s why he does these things but just seems like they are relying on him a bit too much.

That’s a valid criticism. Maybe all of my edited scenes showing Luke constantly saving the day do weaken the appearance of the Resistance as a whole, but I think for the narrative of the ST as a whole that’s not a bad thing. To be frank, as a fighting force the Resistance sucks. It’s a very, very small band of soldiers who have left the New Republic to take matters into their own hands and their whole purpose is to take small rebellious actions that ultimately encourage others to take a stand as well. They aren’t meant to be a challenging military force, and them fully needing the myth of the Jedi and providence of the force works out for the old theme of destiny.

Sorry this is very long winded, I absaloutley loved this edit and it honestly felt like I was watching something new to what I had previously seen and this felt like what it was meant to be a Star Wars movie.

Thank you once again Acbagel for sharing this absaloutley amazing edit with me.

Not at all, I love reading feedback and am very happy that you enjoyed.

Now onto TROS edit😭.

😭 is right, haha. I tried my best, but with Disney refusing to release any deleted scenes/extra footage it is a very difficult task. I don’t think there’s any way to redeem it as much as I did here with TLJ but I at least tried to make it a tolerable entry in my ST remake.
