Very random thought, and one I believe I’ve suggested before:
In the movie’s final scene, I think it would be interesting to create a new shot of Tatooine’s yellow sun coming over the horizon, and placing that at some point near when Rey activates her yellow lightsaber. I recall a lot of people wondering why they went with yellow for Rey’s saber color, and I think by placing the imagery of the yellow sun rising near Rey displaying her yellow lightsaber could help make the symbolism clearer. And to clarify, I think the yellow is meant represent a bright, and hopeful future, as well as Rey representing a new dawn for the Jedi.
Also, I don’t really know if I would prefer it or not, but I would be interested to see if we could change the final interaction between her and the old lady to go like this:
WOMAN: There’s been no one for so long. Who are you?
Rey looks over at the ghosts of the Skywalkers, then looks back.
REY: A Skywalker.
Or, you could still have her say “Rey Skywalker” and cut the old lady interrogating Rey and asking for her first name, last, date of birth, etc… haha. I just thought “A Skywalker” could be an interesting answer, because you could interpret it as Rey taking the last name, or that she is creating a new order called “Skywalker” and she is claiming that title. Maybe that would seem contradictory or redundant after Rey saying “I’m a Jedi” at the climax.
For one that fully embraces Rey Skywalker. I really like “a skywalker” because it gives an even split between Rey choosing Rey skywalker and giving the audience the idea of the moniker of skywalker
Now where’s Sherlock potter to do an audio mock up? (I apologize if I didn’t recall other very skilled editor, he’s the first person to pop in my head for audio mock ups as of recent based on my forum checking habits). I think the hardest part is the lip movement because saying “Rey” versus “a” gives a different lip movement.
