I feel like a theme that edits of the ST can emphasize is this idea of the “Star Wars” cycle. That the forces of good and evil, the dark and the light, perpetually rise and fall. Edits like Nev’s Starlight do a great job at turning TFA’s weaknesses into strengths by making the movie’s repetition of ANH feel more purposeful. Obviously fans watch it and think, “wow, this is all happening AGAIN?”, but I think the movies can be strengthened if it feels like that’s an intentional point rather than a consequence of not having any better ideas.

RogueLeader, have I an edit for you 😉

I think you’ve independently hit a big nail on the head, one I hit myself only much later when I watched and realised what I was trying to get at with TLSA. Cycles, circles, legacy, rebellion, the wheel turning and breaking and being remade again. Especially now in light of Filoni’s story, and Baylan Skoll, and REDACTED…

I’m going to come back to that project again one year soon, I think, and refresh some of the ideas inherent in it, which I feel owe a lot spiritually to this forum at large.
