That’s interesting. I cut and replace “A feeling” so many times. Are you trying to remove the dagger all together or just that scene?
I felt there were 3 choices, 1) Remove the scene completely 2) Change the dialog in that scene to cover Kylo missing Rey holding the dagger the whole time or 3) Add a digger in the last few seconds of that scene to fix the contuniety error.
I still haven’t decided which one is best but I’ve fixed the dialog so far…
Well, my thinking was that it is enough to remove some focus and all that talking of the dagger for it to make sense to remove the Indiana Jones-ey lining.
Side note: I’m doing a Rey is Anakin’s reincarnation/chosen one edit, so I’m gonna expand on her looking at the Vader mask in that scene a bit more too, but something like this should also work without that.
So, the rest would play out pretty much the way it did in the movie, as far as the dagger is concerned, but I figure by cutting Rey (and later Finn) stating that they NEED the dagger, the events are recontextualized, so that Rey goes on a vision quest of sorts instead of a McGuffin retrieaval.
As for her having the knife out during the fight, sometimes you’re just gonna have to settle with head cannon if fixing an error is more trouble than worth. In this case, I say Kylo’s just not a very observant guy. I mean, look at how he was fooled by an entirely too young Skype avatar of Luke, wielding the same lightsaber which was destroyed a couple hours earlier. 😄
Granted, I’m one to take a more light-hearted approach to these movies. There are quite a few little things I enjoy (or enjoy to thrash talk) that most seem to straight up hate, so easy for me to say, I guess. 😄
