Just wanted to say that after a Clone Wars Rewatch the Force Ghosts in Ep 9 make sooooo much sense.

Yoda specifically says “achieve victory for all times”, after starting the training to become a Force Ghost. So slick!

Inspired by me absolutely DOMINATING as an Ewok warrior on Battlefront II the other night, I wonder if there would be a way to imply that the Resistance has recruited Ewoks into their ranks? Now, as goofy as that may sound, it would make sense that the off-shoot of the original Rebellion would try to maybe recruit some of the alien species that happened to take down the original Empire in the first place.

Obviously, not too much could be done in regards to like action scenes or whatnot. But I feel like you could maybe use some upscaled and color corrected footage from those Made-for-TV Ewok movies from back in the day in order to insert some footage of Ewoks hanging around at the Resistance base on D’Qar/Ajan Kloss? Granted, I’ve never actually seen those movies so I’m not sure if the footage would be useable there in the first place. But I feel like it could be worth a shot!

There’s also the opposite idea that the First Order was sent to kill them all by Jannah and her company. Probably at the direct command of General Pryde, because he was a part of the original Empire and wants revenge for Palpatine.

Actually, I just got another idea that this reminded me of because I just found out in those Ewok movies, they ride ponies in some scenes. So, using Hal’s fan edit as a template that makes Kef-Bir into Endor, we could include scenes of the Ewoks here as being allies to the defected Stormtroopers.

The space horses they ride look a lot different than the real-world ponies they use in those Ewok movies though. I’m not sure how it could really be used.

A mix of rudimentary visual effects and carefully chosen shots that omit their faces.

Previous attempts at that idea made it so Leia is giving her life-Force to be channeled through Rey into Kylo. This would explain how Rey is able to heal a fatal wound without dying like Ben. But you’ve taken another approach, actually, making it abundantly clear that Leia is summoning Han from the netherworld of the Force and the effort of that is what kills her. I think that’s a really cool idea, as well. The only (slight) problem with the idea is Ben’s line of “You’re just a memory” since in this case Ben isn’t hallucinating and his dad really is there with him because of Leia’s sacrifice.

Interpretation is a funny thing. I saw it as less of a physical presence and more of the detonation of a memory bomb she implanted as a last chance to get through to him. In my head that’s why the conversation mirrors so closely the bridge conversation in TFA and why I painted him out in the wide shot. I can totally see where you are coming from though. Thanks for checking it out!
