I also want to get ahead of a few things, just because I know they will be commented on. A few of the “woke” things, or other things certain people complained about are going to be cut from my edit, but that’s absolutely not the reason why.
-
The reference to Osha’s mothers is cut because the flashbacks have been so condensed that it adds confusion.
-
The fire on the outside of the space ship is cut because I moved a flashback to right before that sequence, making it redundant.
-
Ki-Adi Mundi’s line about the Sith is cut because that scene was heavily condensed for time.
I have no problem with representation in Star Wars, nor did the pedantic and bad faith complaints about other things bother me at all. Star Wars is better when it’s inclusive, when anyone can enjoy it. Complaining about scientific accuracy in a series about space wizards and hairy dog dudes is silly. None of these cuts were done to appease the fake outrage fans.
