And we’re finished! Really enjoyed working on this final update, and fell in love with this film again through it. Fun story. New runtime clocks in at 2 hours 29 minutes including credits, and I’m uploading now to the previous folder, so it should be ready in a couple hours and your previous links should still work. Let me know if you need them sent again!

Here’s the final change log:

New soundtrack and voice lines for the Armorer v Stormtroopers. She is reciting a Mandalorian war chant as they approach and when they disrupt that… Yeah, she’s not happy. (If you want this scene spoiled now… I uploaded it to my channel 😉 )[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thnVh4GUfiU]
Cut one additional line of Din’s protest against IG self-sacrificing. He doesn’t have to grovel here, I want the audience to feel that Din is slightly hesitant and uncomfortable because his feelings have changed a little for the droid, but he knows this is the right move and isn’t about to whine.
Reversed the scene order when Din jetpacks over Moff Gideon’s TIE and grapples onto it. In its original format, the timing is impossible and it’s presented non chronologically to show a Gideon reaction shot which disrupts the flow of action, so I now make things happen in real time and then use that Gideon reaction shot for when Din’s grapple line connects with his TIE. Whole sequence just feels smoother now.
Cut Gideon’s reaction shot and “NO!” yell when Din sticks the charges on the TIE’s wing. It seems extremely improbable that Gideon would figure out what is going on in this 1 second window, even IF the TIE somehow had a sensor alerting him, it’s all just way too fast and not possible, so now the explosion just catches him off guard.

Now… time to dust off Book 3! See you soon
