Star Wars Episode IX: The Final Order

Sweeet Christmas! If I ever decide to rewatch the Sequel Trilogy, I'm ending it with this instead of popping in the Disney version. Managing to continue the story of Rey a nobody vs. "Congrats... You're a Palpatine!"

I applaud you, Spence! BRAVA! BRAVA!

I HIGHLY recommend this!

Very nice job Spence! Top notch editing!

Possible Spoiler Warning.


you were warned.


















Let me start of by saying that the editing in this is pretty much seamless. Very very few times have I noticed anything that was missing within the movie or anything that felt choppy or out of the ordinary. When I saw the movie back in cinemas, I had a good time. But as it was finished I couldn't help but notice that focus to erase TLJ or invalidate its existence was quite distracting in a way that made me feel like there was a less focused story on Rey and Ben Solo and made me feel like their characters weren't as important and their stories had no weight to them. I am proud to say that this edit made me care a lot about their story a lot more than the theatrical cut did and not gonna lie, I did shed a tear or two by the time the movie was over. Overall, this was a pretty stellar edit.

one thing that I did notice was that the audio on the left side of my headphones was ever so slightly lower than the audio on my right side, but as the movie went on I couldn't tell much as I was pretty much engrossed into the narrative. The choices to restructure scenes in the beginning was pretty much pretty well done. No cringe dialogue for the most part and I buy into both Rey and Ben's bond continuing from TLJ and forming into some sort of tragic yet endearing ending to that storyline.

overall, I would recommend this edit to anyone who enjoys TLJ and would like to see a continuation of that storyline.

Keep up the good work dude. Can't wait to see what else you have in store!!

Like a bad steak, this was super well done. The pacing was great, and the story flowed better. The flashbacks had more emotional resonance and the Rey No Name aspect was handled really well. Made what was a "meh" experience with the original into an enjoyable time that felt like there was actual finality instead of shoe horned fan service.

I had to go back and check the original version to see what had been changed. I found the editing changes to be very clever and seemless. I particularly liked the changes to the sith dagger and the delay in finding out chewie was still alive. The theatrical version I found to be the worst of the sequel trillogy but I would now rate this better than the last jedi but still not as good as the force awakens (but it comes a very close 2nd).
