Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words. I was also one who swore to never watch this movie again, but I’ve grown to like it with these adjustments made. I can’t wait to touch everything up next year and make it even better.

I have a physical need to see all of your SW work. Please send links to everything including the BB and Mando/BF.

Nearly brought a tear to my eye when I read how you bought a second ticket in disbelief when you first saw TLJ and were shocked by what you saw. I did the same exact thing and left with the same conclusion; it was the first time I disliked a Star Wars movie.

Based on what I can see your understanding of REAL Star Wars is impressive and your changes are fantastic.

Sent! Thank you for the inspiration and I completely relate with you. To be honest, I still have not fully recovered my true love for Star Wars as a result of TLJ & TRoS. I don’t think that wound will heal until I experience a Star Wars film in the theater that touches me the same way previous films did. Seeing Luke in Mando and the last season of TCW did a lot to help bring back some of that magic, but I still believe that the best of Star Wars belongs on the big screen and I eagerly await another story in theaters.

My edits are an attempt to rectify the feelings I experienced from those films and I am at least proud of my effort in making something that I no longer despise. I do plan to put a lot more into my trilogy edits in the coming year as well, but I hope you enjoy the current versions.

I have gotten around to watching this. Oh my was this an almost entirely different feel for the movie. When I first watched the movie in theaters, I walked out after watching Leia’s space flight. That was the final straw for me as I could not stand the characters of both Luke and Leia being completely disrespected and distorted.

  • I loved Luke coming to save the day multiple times with newfound ancient knowledge. That was truly a master stroke. In particular, removing Holdo’s “redemption” was an absolute necessity. Her snarky and nasty attitude was poorly conceived and completely illogical.

  • I really loved the musical score you incorporated. It gave the movie a more emotional feel to it. For obvious reasons, Star Wars coupled with emotional music really allows you to connect to the characters - good and evil - much more.

  • Great decision having Kylo actually fire on Leia. There is no logical reason for him to kill his father and be unable to do so for his mother. It was far too early for him to turn to the light, even if very brief.

  • Good decisions all the way removing any form of unnecessary [toilet] humor. These are out of place in Star Wars movies.

  • I loved force ghost Luke and seeing him in the world between worlds. A nice way to pay respects to a legendary character.

  • Your ending was much better with the Palpatine voice. A movie like this must end with an ominous omen.

==> I am really confused about the plot point of completely ending the Jedi order. At the end of the movie, Luke tells Kylo that he will not be the last Jedi while referencing Leia (or possibly Rey). How does that fit with Luke specifically telling Rey twice in your edit that he wants the Jedi to come to an end, but then comes to contradict himself at the end? I understand he recognized their failures, but I think it would be better if Luke never explicitly states that he wants the Jedi to end. We should have a reformation of the Jedi code versus the outright elimination. The complete abandonment is overly defeatist and in contradiction to Legends Luke.

Yoda effectively tells this to Luke in the movie, but in different words about changing the ways of the Jedi. I also think it is unnecessary for Luke to explicitly tell Yoda he is burning everything all down. We can jump straight to Yoda doing it. I would also suggest removing Yoda’s laughing as we are dealing with a very serious situation at this point. I also believe Yoda should not reference ending the Jedi order, but imply a reformation instead.

Another tiny nitpick I have is that Yoda calls Luke “young” Skywalker. In this movie, he is not exactly young. I think it demeans him as others are labeling him a legend.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this and your other edits. It is quite clear you put in an unbelievable amount of work. I can feel the passion put into your edits. Job well done.
