I read your comment about keeping the fortress in and how you feel it felt like something big was missing when left out but surely completely removing it will also remove the many issues that episode had? 🤔
Getting your edit at the mo so will comment here more once watched. 😁👍
In my opinion, losing that scene loses a lot of interesting character development for Obi-Wan, and also loses a lot for Tala, Roken, etc. The rest of the story doesn’t really work without it.
I look at my edits more from a storytelling perspective vs a “cut things I don’t like” perspective. If cutting something I don’t like actively harms the story, then I keep it. If that makes sense.
