-Han and Chewie are planting bombs in the base even though their only intention is a rescue mission.

This is the biggest problem I have with the current edit. I’m not sure how to get rid of it. It’s like “Hey we’re here, might as well blow up some stuff.”

-It’s never (properly) explained that Kylo Ren is Han’s son with the Snoke scenes missing. I suggest making that a reveal and have them not mention it but keep the sad look on Han’s face when he sees Kylo. Cut it all out until Han’s death scene.

It’s not explained but I would think someone seeing this for the first time could figure it out. I prefer the mystery.

-Rather than cutting to Kylo Ren when poisonous gas starts coming out of the floor grates, let that scene play out and finish. Once that scene’s done, cut to Kylo Ren getting the news of their departure and then cut back to the falcon in hyperspace.

I like this edit. It’s more straight forward storytelling.

-Cut down Maz’s weird lines (“Where’s my boyfriend/I like that Wookiee” and The eyes monologue with her crawling on the table)

Yeah maybe. Leia should have had Maz’s roll in the film. Can’t fix that in a fan edit though!

Overall it was pretty good, your ambition pays off.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I made a stereo file though ffmpeg. I wonder if the 5.1 did not collapse properly and made the audio louder at some points.
