I wouldn’t let other people tell you what to think about the movies. Trying to please everyone is how TROS wound up being what it is. YouTube is full of truly mindless takes from people who like to be angry all the time (and/or make money off of it).

Most of your ideas here are very radical and would require substantially altering the plot and character arcs of the trilogy. Plus, some of them just seem like trying to tie-in to other material in ways that make little sense: why would Pryde be Thrawn? And how? Has he painted his face? Does he still get exploded out of a window? Etc. I’d carefully consider exactly what each of your planned changes would gain/lose. If Luke arrives on Crait in person, how does he survive? Is he just invincible? If Luke’s invincible, how is he dead in the next movie? As is endlessly demonstrated in HAL’s Ascendant thread, fanediting often comes down to trying to do as much as you can with only small tweaks - even then, tiny edits can have undesirable implications and repercussions for the rest of the movie.

Why are you calling Neverar “Great Date”?
