I agree with this notion, JJ. And excellent idea to refocus the flashback to that also. I’m one of those people who are generally not convinced at all by AI lines, but at this point I don’t think standard tricks can fix this movie. I’d rather watch the original than a slightly mended TROS with a couple extra lines and some scenes shifted around.

However if it is possible to strengthen and underline the themes they tried to convey to this extent… why not go for it, I think it’s a worthy project. (When some wizards can pull off a Ben lives edit, oh boy.) One note… the DOTF line feels like a little bit of a non-sequitor in the third clip to me
