What is Your Preferred Watch Order, and Which Versions (Fan edits/official releases)?
Time

Here’s how I’d subject a complete newcomer, mythical creature though they be.

ANH (OOT)
(wait like a week)
ESB (OOT)
(wait like a week)
ROTJ (OOT)
(wait like a week)

Then wait a few months or something. Let it sink in.

Ep1 (my edit, I guess)
Ep2 (my edit, I guess)
Clone Wars microseries part 1
The shortest run-through of EddieDean’s TCW project
Clone Wars microseries part 2
Ep3 (my edit, I guess)
Kenobi series
Solo
Rogue One
ANH (my custom SE)
ESB (my custom SE)
ROTJ (my custom SE)
Mandalorian Trilogy (?) (smudger9’s film edits of Mandalorian and TBOBF)
TFA (my edit, I guess, but Nev’s works)
TLJ (my edit, I guess)
TROS (my edit for sure)
The Holiday Special

It would have been nice to save the lightning for the end of ROTJ, in as much as it makes Palpatine’s attack on Luke all the more crazy and horrific if you’ve never seen it used before. It would have been far better, IMHO, if Palpatine had never been involved in any combat at all until ROTJ.

To be fair, you could say that about a lot of things.

The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)

You’re saying that you see Rey’s moment post-hangar as her realizing that when she completes the necessary, galaxy-saving mission they’re on she’ll be corrupted in the process and become evil? I guess that’s a fair read, but isn’t fed to the audience real clearly.

Sherlock, I’ll try the order of scenes on the destroyer you suggest and see how it plays. Same surrounding Ach-To.

I did not apply LUTs to this workprint, as I have to do that last. But don’t worry, it’ll look the same as the regular version. Also, I don’t actually have a fixed version of that one shot from poppa. If he does send me one I’ll use it but otherwise I’m not bothered by it.

And editing these subtitles is going to be glorious fun with how haphazard and jumping all around I’ve handled this…

It wouldn’t be the only unavoidable hiccup of the idea, and I did minimize the gap so it’s less like she’s mesmerized by the ship and more that she noticed it and then they’re all surprised by the remaining trooper. Also, I think it’d important to keep the whispers associated closely with the knife itself, in order to continue to get away with the compass removal while propping up the corpse of the legitimacy of the plot device.

And welcome!
