Hal, I watched this edit for the first time last night and just wanted to thank you for your hard work.
I think it’s a good edit, and overall subtly improves the film. If this had been the theatrical release I believe older fans would have liked it a little more (and it would have cost Disney a lot less to make - that extended Fathier stampede must have cost an absolute $$$ fortune to shoot, and your edit proves it really wasn’t needed at all!).
Even with the shortened run time The Last Jedi still rather overstays its welcome - and by the time we get to Crait you feel audience fatigue settling in. It doesn’t help that the exciting Throne Room sequence is the movie’s dramatic highlight, and everything after that feels a bit of an epilogue.
But well done, you’ve done what can be done with the material, and if I do revisit TLJ again in the future this will be the cut I watch.
