Yeah, Pearce, just go for it! I think you definitely could provide an interesting perspective when it come to editing this film. I would like to see you discuss what big picture ideas you might have, or rough test clips for more specific changes you have in mind.
+1
Seamless editing (though the transition to Rey is a little abrupt - opportunity for a wipe?).
What’s your plan for Palpatine’s plan in the movie? Maybe I’m just slow but I never worked out why he asked Kylo to kill Rey. He clearly doesn’t actually want her dead; he wants her on Exegol so he can ritualistically bodysnatch her or whatever. What if Kylo had run Rey through and come back to claim his new fleet? Was Palps just banking on Kylo caring too much about Rey? Palpatine’s prequel plans were hardly airtight either, but I don’t really see what he actually wants from Kylo. Once they’re together he uses the dyad - was that his plan all along?
When Palpatine senses Kylo’s turn to the light, he tells Pryde that “the princess of Alderan has disrupted his plans” surely this is a remnant of the original script where his plan A was for kylo and Rey to take the throne.
Man oh man.

Star Wars: Duel of the Fates |Fan-made Teaser Trailer
That was fantastic, just need some tuning up and you’re good to go.

If Order 66 is declared en route back to Coruscant, I don’t imagine Maul should be fallen yet, this early into RotS?
I’m sure the Jedi would have been informed of his capture, I think it would be typical of them to say that “he has fallen”. You’re right though about the time frame of the events, I guess we can’t know for sure until the episodes release.
I really just need to change Boz Pity into something related to the Siege of Mandalore, or not at all if we can just assume Boz Pity is the name of some Mandalorian city or province that Ahsoka and the 501st have moved into. Even if that’s not what Boz Pity is canonically. “Sundari” - the Mandalorian capital Bo Katan and co. is sieging - has the same syllables as Boz Pity, so maybe I can change it to that.
That would work just as well.
I guess many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view 😉
That was seamless!
Problem is, I think Ashoka is on Mandalore during order 66 😕
Edit: Spoiler from the episode descriptions of the final 2 episodes of siege of Mandalore

Based on that I’d propose something more akin to this:
“You’ve missed the report on the Mandalore sieges, in short, they are going very well, Maul has fallen, and your padawan is moving troops back to the capital.”
-The force unleashed was ok I guess
-old republic was aight
-Fallen Order was pretty good
-Mando was a little boring.
-ST is just your generic action adventure blockbuster young adult gerp.
ROTS was no masterpiece but to me it was grand, sophisticated, tragic, hopeful, campy and full of heart. A true space opera. To me the the Siege of Mandalore really built on that.
The ST?
Garbage.
Honestly i’d rather a callback to an fantasy classic than to a 2018 blockbuster.
And the quote is
-“I am all the Sith”
-“and I…I’m no one”

Yeah, there were a bunch of missed opportunities. But I prefer to focus on what actually happened, rather than what could have been. There’s no use complaining about something I can’t change.
I agree, although it is unfortunate that we have no deleted scenes to work with, I think being constrained to what we have makes us more creative.
This newest episode is the best Star wars content I’ve seen since Revenge of the Sith. Apparently the siege of mandalore arch is a movie split into 4 episodes.
I wonder If references to the siege of mandalore could be added in somewhere, maybe in the war room where Kenobi tells Anakin to be careful of his friend Palpatine.
“You missed the report on the outer-rim sieges, Saleucami has fallen etc…”

But Hux throwing a coup against Kylo felt like such a huge set up. I find it weird JJ and Terrio watched that, saw that final look Hux have Kylo in TLJ, and said, “Well shit, we gotta get rid of Hux now…”
They probably based their script on on a rage filled bullet pointed post on saltierthancrait.
You could use the shot of the medal from the trailer as she dies.
That could be set up by opening with the Luke and Leia flashback.
This guy did a pretty neat job editing Rey’s meditation scene.

I think reworking the dialogue between Ren and Palpatine at the start would really improve on the plot,the characters and their motivations. I tried reconstructing the dialogue into its original form in the script and I think its very doable with what we have.
-I have died before, the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
-What are you?
-More than a clone, less than a man !
-What could you give me ?
-Everything… A new Empire,
The might of the final Order will soon be ready. I’m too weak and soon I will die…the fleet will be yours if you do as I ask…Bring the girl! Take the thrown! and become what your grand father Vader could not. You will rule the galaxy together as Emperor and Empress, A dyad in the force, a dyad of the dark side…
-Who is she?
-Not who you think she is…

So I did a mockup of this, audio ain’t my strong suit so anyone is welcome to have a go at it.

“Unnatural” 👀
That’s perfectly fine, dvd, digital, Blue Ray etc as long as its an official copy.
Lol I still can’t see the difference. I must be blind.
No I meant it would be better if the helmet in the vision was not used at all in the film, instead using shots of kylo with his back to the camera and him using the cross guard.
“Long have I waited, for my grandchild to come home…
Empress Palpatine.”
I think it would be better to avoid showing kylo with the mask in the vision so as to save it for later. Showing him using the cross guard would probably be sufficient.
