All files have been updated to Version 2 of this edit.

The differences:

  • Added a short title card for V2 so you know which version you’re watching.
  • The little bit of the old crawl that was still barely visible has been removed.
  • Palpatine’s explanation of spirit transfer is returned to the end of the movie where it was originally. Both major emperor scenes now have a bit more meat on the bones as this change allowed me to make the changes smoother and retain more shots/dialogue.
  • The Leia death scene now has different music and ambient sound, and the Leia footage has been brightened to match the Rey footage.
  • Multiple video and audio transitions have been smoothed or completely reworked.
  • Audio has been improved for Kylo’s dialogue replacement, and I added a new line as he disappears.
  • The initial reaction to Hux’s spy reveal has been reinserted, but shortened a little for pacing.
  • Rey no longer says she’s going to find Palpatine and destroy him. Her reaction to the Sith whispers triggers BB-8 and Finn to respond.
  • Transition from Ben on the Death Star to Rey burning the tie fighter had been lengthened so it’s less abrupt.
  • Added a new shot of Rey when Luke sits next to her to fix the incorrect eyeline.

The big improvements here are the better audio editing and the new score for Leia’s death scene, but I made a ton of tiny little adjustments as I went back through it.

I’m much happier with this version and barring some new revelatory idea that will improve the whole thing, I’m ready to move on to new projects. So V2 is most likely gonna be the final version.
