Patterson’s cut was decent…but I don’t know of any ‘new FX work’ that you described. If any exists, it’s not even close to the same realm as what pixeljoker is doing. And if you haven’t seen the youtube video pixeljoker released over a year ago, he filmed WHOLE NEW SCENES, so it’s more than just an edit and visual overhaul. That being said, you’re right that it’s hard to imagine Kenobi becoming something as good as the OT, but I don’t think that’s the goal, just a product with the quality we would hope to expect from our favorite franchise. I for one, am excited to see what he accomplishes.

I’m curious how this one compares to the Fire and Ice fan edit, which also combines Season 7 & 8. I’ve seen that, and with a few minor exceptions, it’s now my definitive way to finish off the series should I ever choose to rewatch it. But I would always be interested in an alternate take, and see if this one might be superior.

Take your time! I’ve been watching your progress with keen interest, and I want the best product possible. When it’s released, I would love a link. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!

If you’re looking for the definitive versions of the sequel trilogy, then I would recommend:
The Force Awakens: Starlight by NeverarGreat
The Last Jedi: Rekindled by poppasketti
The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant by Hal 9000 (a V5 is in the works, and will likely be released soon)

That being said, I watched The Legend of the Solo Twins a couple months ago, and it’s an amazing reimagining of the sequel trilogy. No Palpatine, and Snoke is the ‘final villain’. It was really clever how the editor incorporated his scenes from the Last Jedi to be inside the chamber in Rise of Skywalker, and while it’s not perfect, it is a rather consistent experience and far better than the ‘official’ versions.

I have never seen JakeRyan17’s cut. If you watch it, let me know what you think.
