i haven’t read through every post on this thread, so sorry if i repeat something…
that Leia chase edit looks great. no chase, she just gets a hood slipped over her from behind. i’m sure others will agree that the second Leia chase needs some real restructuring. it look like Reva is chasing them at first, and then i guess she gets lost or something?
is it too much to hope that someone out there can make the grand inquisitor look like a Pau’an, like he is supposed to be? yeah, i know. that would be a lot of work…
i would lighten Luke’s hair, if it’s possible. that’s probably nitpicking, but people’s hair generally gets darker as they get older, not lighter.
i really want to see Vader kill Reva after their fight. no, not because i hate her or something. it just doesn’t make sense for Vader to let her live. it didn’t even make sense that he let her live for any period of time, since he knows that she knows who he is. i actually ended up liking her character arc, even though it was so predictable, but Vader has always killed anyone who even finds out who he is. the only problem is that i’m pretty sure Disney wants to use Reva in other projects, so it probably wouldn’t be a canon-worthy edit.
i think it would make more sense for Reva to be sneaking up behind Vader right at the moment that the second ship is escaping. it would be a smarter move for Reva to attack as he’s distracted, and it would make it look like he’s too occupied to grab the second ship with the force.
i’d like to see the the Vader/Kenobi fight without cutaways. it’s distracting. it also doesn’t make sense that Kenobi seemingly instantaneously travels to Tatooine when he senses Reva is already two feet away from Luke. maybe Obi-Wan is already leaving the planet him and Darth fought on, when he senses the first moment that Reva shows up at “Skywalker Ranch.” it would at least seem like it took a little more time for him to travel through space.
oh, and the de-aging.
just my two cents. i’m really looking forward to your edits, and any Kenobi edits. i think with a little bit of tweaking this could be a worthy addition to the Star Wars universe.
