Honestly, I’m not sold on the new clips. I get what you’re going for, but the TFA clip really only works in the context of Starlight - every other version of the film plays it as a heroic, “coming into her own” moment - and as much as I love Starlight, we can’t know for sure that other people will have seen it before watching this one. And then you have a quick shot of Luke, to which my gut reaction is “Oh boy, Luke Skywalker!” The context of Luke’s scene is lost; although you could probably solve at least the Luke problem by incorporating his “You went straight to the Dark” line. For the other clip, maybe that shot of her doing the overhead strike at the ed of TFA? She looks rather murderous there. Play Luke’s line across both clips.

Alternatively, just showing more shots of the future is always an option, I guess.
