Yeah, no offense, but it sounds like it’s going to be a much more typical cold and bland Hollywood film. It’s interesting because the main complaints are that it was uninspired and didn’t take risks. And this seems to take it further in that direction.
On the other hand, it’s a similar technique that some PT editors use. Cut the heart out of the film (on account of disliking the heart of the film) in order to leave a barebones version that simply updates the viewer on what is going on in the Star Wars galaxy. Only, in my opinion the difference is that this film needs no such thing done to it.
But yes, the interrogation cut goes well beyond the ones that simply seek to remove characterization and humor.
But I don’t expect to relate to people who disliked this film. If I ever watch an edit, it will have extremely minor changes. So I don’t expect to convince anyone of anything. But the color? I must say I didn’t expect anyone to say they wanted it yellow.
