So apparently that animation is already finished, too. By Petrovelly (says so in description). But only viewable on their SubscribeStar. Doubt they are willing to share it, either.
IMO just kinda sucks that this fan editing community’s manpower is being divided because the Fixing Disney Star Wars team is using financial contributions.
EDIT: I realize they likely wouldn’t be able to create that Mustafar shot without that money, but it still seems kinda scummy imo.

The difference is that one person believes that there still exists humanity in this damaged shell of a man, the other seems to think this is prime boyfriend material.

Yeah I purposely exaggerated the details in that post. Was mostly pointing out that it really depends on how you frame these things.

It’s also worth pointing out that Luke wanted Vader to come back with him, which indicates that he sees him as prime father material now that he has redeemed himself.

“A guy who is part of a space nazi government, has blood on his hands, including killing children, first time seeing his son battles him, chops off his hand, then potentially murders one of his best friends. Tries to prevent him from escaping the planet so he can brainwash him into a nazi as well.
Year or so later son decides that his father is actually a great guy deep inside.”

Sorry, couldn’t help myself haha

I think that Star Wars should be made with the common audience in mind. So, yes, it may have been better if they realized that these romantic signs should be more explicit for the audience. Then again, there is plenty in the sequel trilogy that would have been better had more thought been put into it. But it also doesn’t hurt to make those signs more subtle, leaving you wondering with a “will they or won’t they” situation in the end. IMO there is some big payoff with the kiss at the end.
Regardless, this is Hal’s edit, so he has the final call on this. I’ll cease my chatter on this topic now.

Chewies medal is explained because Leia is holding it as she dies in this edit. Therefore, it represents both Leia and Han for him (the medal belonged to Han originally)

As for the Reylo kiss, it makes things come full circle in the saga. Ben really did complete what his grandfather started: saving the one he loved from death. The kiss helps sell the idea that their relationship can be compared to Anakin and Padme’s.
