Ezra’s Return was more out than in and that worked perfectly when the New Republic elements had been removed. Having put those back in, it helps provide a close more to Hera’s arc than Ezra’s. I’ll watch it back again and make a final decision.

The second act was what I was most unsure about. Did you find anything that didn’t work for you?

Regarding Ezra’s scene - OK, from that point of view it makes sense to leave the scene.

2nd act of the film - I think it flows well. I would personally cut Here our of it, as I hated this filled stuff in the series. But, even tho I personally dislike this content a lot, I do think the second act is well structured and the scenes with Hera don’t affect it anymore because of the way you edited it. I think you found a great balance between keeping this stuff and removing it completely. It’s neither too much, nor too much cut.
