It’s hard setting down something that’s been so involved, like you’re giving up on it despite feeling you’ve done all there is to do. There isn’t really any stopping point that isn’t arbitrary. It just has to feel right.

RL, that Rey Nobody cut of Ascendant V2 is going to get made. And I want to see your ROTJ. If you just need someone to make the editing happen even, I’m sure I could find time here and there to help realize your ideas. I trust you implicitly and imagine there’s something there that ought to see the light of day if you feel that way about it.

And Nev, that’s a refreshing idea for ROTS that addresses a few things elegantly. Anakin more believable could be sic’d on the Separatist leaders right away than fellow Jedi. Obi-Wan steps down from moral purity and begins his lying habit. “I saw… a security hologram… of him… [whatever the most comical atrocity you can think of].”

I suppose you’d need to sentence mix Palpatine a bit to tell Anakin to go to Mustafar while the clone troops attack the Temple. Something would have to be done with the balcony conversation between Anakin and Padme to account for Padme worrying about him. And Obi-Wan’s lie would be oddly specific, to be fair.

Also, if anyone listening wants to make Ben Solo’s lightsaber into Anakin’s during the TLJ flashbacks, please do and I will be happy to make use of it. Would be the cherry on top.
