Just thought I’d pop in here and say I thoroughly enjoyed this edit. The whole thing flowed like smooth butter, and I couldn’t once tell where any cuts/addition had been made. Obviously credit goes to Hal9000 for the original edit, but this is definitely a step up.

When reading the log, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Rey’s eyes turning yellow, but it surprisingly worked very well. It also better explained why she was suddenly able to overcome the more skilled Kylo Ren - similar to how Luke Skywalker overcame Darth Vader in RoTJ. It also added some mystery and depth to her character. Like everyone else, I am NOT a fan of Rey being related to Palpatine, but if we are going to accept this fact, we may as well see it done right.

I also appreciate that some of the cringe jokes were removed without completely removing all the humor altogether. Some edits out there remove every funny piece of dialog until Star Wars has no humor left whatsoever. I’m glad this didn’t do that.

Again, thanks again for this great edit!
