I finished watching this and I must say that it is the best way to rewatch the series. Especially since these two acts especially slow paced.
I loved how that was dramatically increased whilst not sacrificing any of the story beats at all.
This will now be my go to version for when I want ti revisit this series.Thanks Yoshif. It was really tempting to make deeper cuts to get the runtime down towards 2.5 hours, but I’m hoping I made the right decision to allow it to slide towards 3 hours.
Out of curiosity, what would you have cut out to get the runtime down that much?
I was contemplating cutting:
The Morlana 1 scenes.
All the flashbacks.
The Pegland/Cassian scene.
The destruction of the Corpo shuttle.
Some of the Mon Mothma and ISB scenes.
A few more Aldhani camp scenes.
Thant would have pushed it down to 2:30.
