Hi again Acbagel, and once again thank you for sharing your ST edits with me. Like I previously mentioned I haven’t seen or read any of the legends material, so what you may be trying to achieve with your edit I might not see or realise why you made that change.

OK out of the 3 ST this one is the hardest mainly for me personally because I have only seen the theatrical version once (I do own the Blu-ray, but have only seen this movie in the cinema) the other times I have viewed TROS have all been fan edits so some of your changes I may have missed (which should be a good thing as this means everything has blended and flowed smoothly).

So I’ll start with the good.
😬

Ummmm…
Ok things I wasn’t a fan of or didn’t like (this is just me personally and only giving my personal thoughts and opinions)

  • We see Kylo drop the decapitated head of the alien spy on the table during their briefing with commanders, Later we see the same Alien giving Poe and Finn info about the first order. I think I know what you are trying to achieve with that cut but for maybe a first time viewer it may be a bit confusing.

  • The end Kylo lives, I appreciate the work you did to achieve this but for me personally it just didn’t work, especially when we see him boarding the falcon, I was like WTF 🤷 lol.

I’m sorry I haven’t left anything positive for this edit, I know it is a mess of a movie to begin with but the major changes that were made just didn’t work for me personally.

I honestly and truthfully enjoyed and love your TFA and TLJ edits and am looking forward to seeing the full finished edit but for me this one is a big miss.

Thank you once Acbagel and please take care.
