I don’t think a change like that lends itself to the regular/max distinction; it either works well or doesn’t, and no one would think, “I miss this moment.” It’s one of a few things that were undone not because I love the original, but for it to feel seamless. The scene ends very abruptly otherwise.
At this point, the prequels are closed off; I cannot keep myself open to revising them. I appreciate the feedback, sincerely, though.
