I had no idea the work for Rey’s lightsaber sputtering out and her tickling Finn with some lightning was completed. While I disagree with the majority of the changes in this edit, those changes do sound pretty cool for Ascendant.

Granted, I believe Hal previously said that her blasting Finn was too much or something. Honestly, I think both of these things are what is missing in Ascendant to make that scene impactful beyond mindless lightsaber clashing. The lighstaber giving out signals Rey’s own feelings of unworthiness to contribute to the Skywalker legacy, and her blasting Finn is yet another reason to abandon everyone without a second word. If these two things are indeed completed, I’d love to see them.
