I’ve been playing around with the ending for my personal edit, which is a Rey Nobody edit, and I think I’m onto something that could be useful to others:
Basically, I used footage from HAL’s version and the theatrical to eliminate the old lady and the “I’m Rey” business, so we can end on a more emotional note.
Damn, since when do we have such a high quality Ben ghost?
Honestly, I’d be kinda down to just skip the ghosts entirely if you skip the Rey Skywalker exchange. Just end it there quietly, no Binary Sunset music.
The Ben ghost is from HAL9000’s edit. It’s very good!
I was curious what the ending would look like without the ghosts after reading your comment, so I tried it out. I… kind of like it better maybe?
