So, an interesting thing is happening tomorrow.

I’ve got a friend who’s 40 years old, who’s loved Star Wars forever. Big Original Trilogy purist, no love for the Prequels, likes a good few of the Disney shows which successfully capture the magic. Watched a midnight showing of TFA and liked it a lot, watched a midnight showing of TLJ and loved it. But then, the day of TROS, he saw the early reviews saying it was awful and just… didn’t watch it. Still never has.

He knows I’m into fanedits, and has heard the gist (but not the detail) of what TROS:Ascendent is about. He still knows nothing of the plot of TROS other than “Somehow, Palpatine returned”.

So, tomorrow, he’s going to have his very first experience of TROS, as TROS:Ascendent v4.

I’m really interested to see what he thinks of it. Maybe he’ll love it for what it is now. Maybe he’ll find it at least an acceptable end to the saga. Maybe he’ll hate it for all the failings of the original film. Either way, he’ll be going into it having only seen the first two Sequels, so he’ll have an interesting take. I’ll be sure to share it here!
