I just flipped through the workprint and I couldn’t really think of a good reason not to adopt this as my own personal go-to version. TFA:R isn’t going anywhere, but I was re-floored to rediscover the intricate and masterful threading Nev has done with this project. It makes this movie sing.
Ascendant V3 will feature its only shot of Jakku made to match Starlight so that a viewer of any version of TFA would not be thrown. (Granted, I’d be gobsmacked by a hypothetical viewer who would have THAT to complain about while walking out after TROS.)
Just like Harmy saying, “Hey guys, watch 4K77,” I feel that way about this project. Very proud of our Neverar; he’s great!
