WOW! Just watched this, and it’s an extremely impressive edit. Technically flawless (well, could you turn up the initial Sith voices a bit?), but absolutely every narrative change landed for me
…
I was always a Rey Palpatine purist, because I figured Disney won’t let us ignore that canon forever, but until the Mouse forces my hand, this is my new primary version. Excellent work.
Not gonna lie, I was worried when the new Rey movie was announced that it would invalidate what I was working on - at least that problem has been averted for now! I’m hoping TROS having such a negative reaction will encourage Disney to not mention the Palpatine stuff again, even if we do see Rey again in the future.
Thank you for the feedback as well! If anyone else notices anything that needs to be tweaked (such as turning up the Sith voices), please let me know!
