That’s awesome. Sorry for not getting back to you about using it, but glad to see you found the tutorial helpful. I’d like to make it available for people to use for their edits, but I’m not sure where to host it. It looks like megaupload is the go to for fan edits. What would you recommend?

This doesn’t solve the deeper problems mentioned above, but it’s a foundation point that could branch out into further edits that would shape the “Just Rey” concept. To clarify I know I’m not the first to re-edit the ending, but I think it’s one of the more successful attempts.

I also have a version with the more traditional Williams fanfare:

And if you’re interested in how we achieved the effect, we have a tutorial here. It’s so subtle that most people I’ve shown don’t even notice the effect, but it did take a lot of finessing to get perfect, and we were lucky with the shot timing and focal length:
Like a lot of people, I was disappointed by the ending of The Rise of Skywalker. I was a fan of where Rian Johnson seemed to be going with Rey’s character in TLJ and wanted to revise the ending of TROS to reflect where I thought he was heading. In this version, Rey sees the ghosts of Luke and Leia on Tatooine, but instead of taking their name, declares “I’m Rey.” I added more of a somber score based on Rey’s theme to end the trilogy on a more reflective tone than the usual fanfare.

I’ve been watching the Director’s Cut for years always note the poor pacing. Would die to see the Theatrical Cut if you have a link. Thank you!
