The first scene works very well like this, it’s a nice change of pace.

I’d be in favor of removing / chaining the edit’s introduction to K-2SO (first time talking to Jyn), in particular him saying “Cassian said I had too”, it makes no sense here. The change of Jyn’s speech before the battle actually works, I thought that was one of the things I’s miss but apparently the original is not that special.

Regarding Chirrut’s scene, I’m not 100% sold on the new score (that was the only point of contention to me in the audio of this edit), I might have preferred the idea of lowering the audio. This would create a moment of quiet in the middle of all the chaos, although in this we still have such a moment later with Baze Malbus. So, I’m not sure what would work the best.

What I am sure is I hate the giant “cigar cutter” during Jyn’s climb. It is utter ridiculous in the original. That could be cut for sure.

The change in score is superb. I could feel the rising tension on several scenes due to new songs, they add a lot of color.

Thanks for this!
