If you can stomach another TROS edit then check this version out. The major goals of this edit include:

Making the Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker more of a coherent experience
Giving Leia more of a ‘Star Wars-y’ send off and an earlier exit (nothing but love and respect for Carrie Fisher—I’m just telling a different story)
Granting more agency to Rey and Ben in their own story
Establishing Emperor Palpatine as a credible threat with an intelligible plan
Walking the fine line of introducing original or enhancing existing story lines that won’t obviously break with cannon in future Star Wars installments
Making sure the film still has heart and humor when all is said and done. Hopefully it feels more contemplative and intentional but never dour

There’s a lot in this edit that I’m incredibly proud of. I encourage you to check the test clips in the top post to get a sense of what’s different BUT even if some of the plot points aren’t what you’re looking for in an edit I still think you’ll find it a satisfying, thoughtfully-crafted story. AND credit where credit due—a lot of this edit owes it’s existence to Ascendant and the discussion and contributions in that edit’s thread. Thank you all.

Cheers!
