<strong>The Rise Of Skywalker</strong> — Official Review and Opinions Thread
Time

This was the ideal situation to allow Finn’s arc and role to be properly finished. But when they board Kylo’s ship it’s not even Finn who advises them to shoot the cameras. I honestly imagined a restored (or crippled) Phasma to arrive, so that he could work with Janna to face their past. Instead… nothing?

If you take the spliced in shots of R2-D2 on death star whilst playing chess on the millennium falcon. If I was right that those stop motion chess pieces time exactly with the spliced in shots of R2-D2 then we can confirm Special effects not completed and R2-D2 was spliced in to cover the unfinished sequence although it was shot just not finished. If you were going to do a Special Edition why on earth would you not restore those special effects shots restoring how the film was planned and “meant to be”

These aren’t unfinished effects. They probably just forgot to do closeups of R2 in the falcon. Whoever thought of using the Death Star footage for that scene was a genius, you’d never know if someone hadnt pointed it out to you.

The editors were legit geniuses.
