Really looking forward to this project; I’m a huge fan of your ROTJ edit!
I personally think ending on Rey & BB8 in front of the twin suns is the stronger of the two sun visuals, so I would drop the Falcon shot and move the silhouette shot to the end.
JEDIT: Watched it again.
Not sure how to describe it, but I keep feeling a bit of a disconnect between Rey after she sees the Force ghosts and the Falcon shot. It’s like she has three emotional beats in this sequence but we’re only getting closure for two of them:
1: Lighting the saber
2: Seeing the Skywalkers
3: Seeing the binary sunsYeah we know she’s in the Falcon, but I don’t think we make the same emotional connection to it as we do when we see her silhouette in front of the suns.
Plus it mirrors the original Binary Sun beat closer without the Falcon.
I think you’re right. I love that Falcon shot form HAL’s edit, but it may not be fitting here particularly well.
I just updated it to make that change. It definitely works better. Eliminating the Falcon stuff make it a more powerful ending.
