Thank you to Hal and everyone else in the community! I enjoyed collaborating with you all.

Just got done with a watch party of v3, and everyone really liked it. They said everything from the plot to explanations of Palpatine’s return/fleet were much more clearly laid out and understandable. It was also exceedingly apparent that the film touched on the core themes of Star Wars. In other words, it “just felt like Star Wars”. The Force ghosts contributed greatly to a feeling of conclusion and finality in this 9-episodic saga. Especially Ben Solo’s ghost at the end, which makes Rey’s identity with the Skywalker family more touching and believable. The new ending makes you feel good because it seems like the gang is going on more adventures together!

Only two things were picked up on:

The lipsync of Poe in the Resistance briefing is off. The voice did sound near perfect, however. Granted, there’s not a lot we can do about this. It’s worth noting that this is one of the only AI lines that was spotted (so we did good work there!)
The new shading of Leia’s lightsaber looked too blue in the flashback. A viewer was confused when Rey ignited it on Exegol and it was purple. However, I’m confident this was merely a problem with our TV because it looks perfect on my laptop. Not sure what exactly happened here.

Overall, as I stated before, this is a magnificent edit. I didn’t ask for ratings, but at least in my books, it goes from the original being a 6.5/10 to a 9/10 easily.
