And if I had one biggest addition for TFA it would be added musical cues throughout the entire film. I have had a problem which is that I think the acting, writing, and overall execution of Hans Death is better than the prequels but I still find the Anakin/Obi Wan confrontation and the immolation scene more emotional. It might be cause I have seen it more, the incredible score might give it that extra push but I feel with right editing TFA lack of emotion and story importance could be drastically improved. ROTS just felt more real and had stakes and was emotionally driven whereas during the Force Awakens Rey never really fails miserably unlike Anakin in episode 3 who has a shit storm thrown on him and its beautifully tragic to witness. That’s what is lacking and a fanedit can hopefully do is make the story elements and emotional connection to the story greater. TFA just felt too light but as the first film of the trilogy once episodes 8 and 9 have run their course I might look at episode 7 a lot differently.

The music in the immolation scene is absolutely beautiful, but I don’t care about Anakin at all so the scene falls a little flat for me. Whereas in TFA not only Han a great deal but I also have an emotional connection to Kylo Ren so smaller stuff like Han touching Kylo’s face after he’s stabbed hits me harder than even the “I hate you!” line in ROTS.
