Uh, what? In TFA, Rey accepts her family is never coming back to see or get her, and Finn learns to stop running away from the First Order and fight for someone: Rey.

She doesn’t really accept that, she just swaps out Luke as the one she’s searching for, it’s even spoken in dialogue. That’s not an arc.

The whole reason she wanted to stay on/return to Jakku is to wait for her family to come back, she feels that if she leaves Jakku then her family will not be able to find her there.

We don’t have footage of her tomb, so that would have to be created from scratch.

I proposed in Hal’s thread we come up with new scenes like Adywan did with the OT.

And it would also raise the question of how does Rey even know who Padmé is?

I mean, you can apply that same question to Rey and the whole Lars homestead situation…

Luke and Leia never knew Padmé, though Leia knew of her ostensibly…

I mean, they’d know specific things after death as Force ghosts; it’s why Obi-Wan knows about Vader being “more machine than man” in the OT and why he knows who Rey is in TFA, also why Luke (not Leia, but Luke) knew of her connection with Palps.

I guess you can imply them guiding Rey to Naboo or something…?

Yeah, as much as I dislike The Last Jedi, we shouldn’t be calling him names, it’s the story that deserves criticism, not him or any writer.

Oops, changelist should’ve said cut mention of the “trash compactor”, just fixed that in OP. I left the initial line about the garbage chute just so we know why Phasma is no longer in the film. There’s actually a comic that shows how she escapes in time.

No one should have to go outside of a film and rely on stuff such as comics, sequels, etc. in order for it to make sense.

That’s why I suggested in Hal’s thread that we create new scenes using limited resources a la Adywan.

Is it possible to have Rey go to Naboo instead of Tatooine and set Anakin, Luke (yes, Luke’s green lightsaber) and Leia’s lightsabers beside or inside Padmé’s tomb? Setting the lightsabers beside or inside Padmé’s tomb would be symbolic of the Skywalker family finally getting to be together after death.

Cut the mention of a garbage chute

I love how you remove this, it avoids the plot hole in The Last Jedi of Phasma somehow being there after being thrown into a trash compactor on a planet that promptly exploded after.

Removed Finn saying, “Come get it!” and then charging at Kylo.

The point of that line is to show that Finn is no longer running away from the First Order, he is now willing to stand up to them.

You know how Adywan used new models of sets and stuff for his remasters of the original trilogy? Try doing the same with this.

What do you mean…?

You know, making new scenes, shots and stuff with specific resources required the way Adywan did with his remasters of the original trilogy…

Remove the footage of the TIE pilot and the ones from Battlefront II and the edit is perfect.

There is an issue I feel needs to be addressed… it’s established in the actual film that the Falcon cannot jump to lightspeed because of the compressor (until Rey turns it off during the Rathar sequence so Han can jump to lightspeed), yet you had the Falcon jump to lightspeed after the chase on Jakku.

You also removed Rey saving Finn from the Rathar; the whole point of that scene was to show Rey now caring for Finn despite initially disliking him.

EDIT: Nevermind.

Phantom Menace novelization: It’s pretty good, and you learn Dooku’s true age.

Wait, Dooku was created before Attack of the Clones was even written?

Eh, Luke instinctively uses it in Empire without any indication as to whether telekinesis requires training, whereas he didn’t know what the mind trick was in A New Hope, implying the latter requires training in order to learn how to use it.

How on Earth does Leia remember a mother who died thirty seconds after she was born?

We don’t know how memories work in Star Wars, so we can infer that they work differently than in real life.

Ackbagel is working on a clip of Rey instinctively using telekinesis to unlock the restraints (removing her using the mind trick), for his edit of The Force Awakens. Anyone want to help him out with visuals and stuff for that specific clip?

Now, I know one’ll probably say that the reason Rey knows how to use the mind trick is because of the dyad, which I would agree with, but one should never have to go outside of a film in order for it to make sense on its own, in this case The Force Awakens (it’s why films such as Battlefield Earth, The Emoji Movie and even the prequels are still criticized to this day).

Also, the backgrounds in 0:11 and 1:15 look out-of-place in comparison to the rest of the Rey scenes in the clip.

Could you expand on this? I’m not seeing what you mean. The background at 0:11 is just what is in the film. I didn’t change anything regarding backgrounds. Same at 1:15, that’s just how it is in the movie. It’s all from the same scene, just re-ordered and the backgrounds weren’t touched.

At 0:15 the shot is in a room with small bars in the background, the next shot we cut back to the blue-ish metal room Rey is in. Regarding 1:15, I meant to say 1:14 when the hand is moving, it’s in the same room with the small bars in the background.

Where’s the extra footage of Rey’s hand moving from? Because that isn’t in the actual film.

Also, the backgrounds in 0:11 and 1:15 look out-of-place in comparison to the rest of the Rey scenes in the clip.

Wasn’t there this one edit where the ground didn’t split apart?

Replaced Kylo Ren’s line “I never lied to you” with “You were right” for more intuitive and precise continuity with TLJ even as the scene retcons it. In that film, it is Rey herself who supplies the information that her parents “were nobody.”

Kylo just wanted to take credit for what Rey said.

I know this would be considered necroposting, but for those who remember or have at least seen this edit we all may know that I*** has Ackbar survive to tell the Resistance people that there may be a spy among them, which is supposed to explain why Holdo refuses to tell Poe anything about her plan.

The concept of a potential spy being used for a purpose like this is inherently broken, Holdo’s plan involves everyone else having to get onto the transports and escape the First Order, any spies will immediately find out what the plan is once they see at least a single transport and contact the First Order about this.

That works really well, although the next series of frames of Palpatine after “am” is a bit misplaced in comparison to that specific one.
