Maybe your new 3PO line could call it the hidden fortress of the Sith.

Yes, that would be amazing!

Also, I love your cutlist, Sherlock, especially adding more of Luke’s influence for the galaxy & not making Kylo subservient to Palpatine.

So long as we’re refocusing on character arcs, why not give some love to Poe? When all the ships show up at the end, anyway the ships can make reference to Poe’s rousing ship as the Resistance gears up for Exegol? Here’s the speech for reference:

First Oder wins by making us think we’re alone. We’re not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them. Leia never gave up. And neither will we. We’re gonna show them we’re not afraid. What our mothers and fathers fought for we will not let die. Not today. Today we make our last stand. For the Galaxy. For Leia. For everyone we’ve lost.

You somewhat have that with the lines in Ascendant like “We believe in you, Poe” and “For Skywalker,” but you could tie it together a bit more with lines like “The Skywalkers never gave up & neither will we” or “We’re not afraid, First Order,” something like that.

Regardless of your philosophical reasoning behind your dialogue changes, I really like them as it’s not just reinforcing something (The Jedi Order) that didn’t work the first time. I especially love your take on the “Be with me” scene & using Rey’s experiences to move her forward, rather than Jedi she (and everyone who only watches the movies) never met.

I also like the idea of acheiving some state of Balance. It’s a different interpretation, but I like Spence’s idea that TROS should be about Kylo moving towards the light & Rey the dark.

That having been said, to further your point home, the final line in your version should be Yoda saying “We, the Jedi, are what they grow beyond.” It’s a modified version of what Yoda said in TLJ, & it showcases that using & understanding The Force has to change. For bonus points, you could show Rey having Sith Eyes as she deflects Palpatine’s lightning, showing that she will be a different kind of Force user in the future.

Just checking, who here still hasn’t gotten a link after posting in this thread?

If you respond to this I’ll forward it on to everyone by this weekend. Hopefully that will ease things up for Nev by time he returns.

Do you have a link to the Visions edit, the one that ends with Rey dreaming of meeting Luke on Ach-To? If so, I’d like a link to that (I already have the standard version).

Hello there, Poppa! I literally watched Force Awakens Starlight yesterday, loved it, & heard V3 of your Palp edit was a great follow up. Would love a link & thanks in advance!

For those why want to keep in the Force Dyad, is there anyway to make Kylo bring up the Rule of Two? I liked how the novelizaition said that the Sith Rule was an attempt to force a Dyad into existance.

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned, but has anyone toyed with having Poe’s speech before the final battle be broadcasted across the galaxy? It’s the only time we see Poe in a leadership position and it’d be great if that was what turned the tide. If anything, it would better justify lightspeed-skipping, as it would explain how Lando got around and recruited so many ships so fast.

Another way I thought of incorporating this idea would be to have the different ships of the cavalry parroting lines from Poe’s speech as they take down the Star Destroyers, though that depends on whether everyone on this sight wants to record fighter pilot dialogue again.

Brand New Version (2.0) has been made. I’ve been going back and fixing my older work lately. It’s slow, I have work, family, and other hobbies. Only Avengers and Venom really need to be fixed currently.

Could I please get a link to version 2.0? I tried watching version 1.0, but it’s a tad rough. Thanks in advance!

First cut coming in at the 3-hour mark, which is much longer than I would like. Annoyingly Mando’s trip to see Grogu completely derails the story, interferes with pacing and adds a huge chunk of time. I really wish they hadn’t used this series to reunite Mando and Grogu.

If pacing is an issue, have you toyed with making Mando’s visit to Luke’s planet a flashback in itself? That way you avoid the awkwardness of Mando telling Fennec “yeah, I’ll help you out…after I run some errands first.”

Once again, your cutlist sounds awesome. Any chance I could get a link?

Could you please send a link for this edit? I love how the cutlist reads & am eager to see it in action!

Could I please get a link for this? It sounds really good!

Is this edit still being worked on?

After reading your cutlist, this edit sounds impressive. I’d like a link to see if it’s most impressive, please. 😉

As someone who thought TFA played it too safe, this sounds amazing. Could I please get a link?

Hope it’s not too late to get a link for version 3.0!
