Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker: Anti-Cringe-Cut

Wow this edit really blew me away! I was watching this movie in it's cinematic edit and I really did NOT like it at all. But this edit is trully wonderful, what a gift from DonKamillo! Thank you so much for making this movie watchable and actually feel the emotions that were intended in the original cut. For every scene where I thought I sensed some contradiction, another scene was either explaining it (Ren standing up with the healed wound and having this wonderful conclusion scene with Han) or was easy for me to find a logical insertion (in a Star Wars sense) into the franchise or at least the sequel canon (for instance Luke being "alive" for me was not an issue since since often enough he had this holo look on him PLUS Ren having this memory or feeling or vision of his father, so why would Ray not have this with Luke as well? It's only her having "contact" with him anyway).
So many incredible chioces wer made, so many cringy scenes were cut, so much more sense and meaning was given to the narrative. No Leia, no horses, no back and forth of the story like in the original cut (where it truly felt like it was written by a whole committee and directed any another committee of directors). This actually makes sense and feels like this is was "subversion" can be in a positive way since there still are unexpected things happening without interrupting the actual flow of the story or ripping the watcher out of the emotional investment.
Great edit ! Just some very very minor audio glitch that I realized between 1.12 and 1.17 with Ray facing Palpatine, the music seems fragmented a bit. Although this is forgivable, it would be fantastic if this could be "repaired" somehow to create an otherwise almost perfect edit for me and definitely go to version of the movie :)

Great version of the final installment to the skywalker saga.
I still don't like Rey proclaiming herself a skywalker but this cut is definitely better and watchable than the original.
I liked the inclusions of other jedi force ghost i saw in another edit but my favorite thing you did was have Kylo Ren's death at the death star.
Overall really good stuff and highly recommended.

Once again... 'All Hail The Don' !
You've actually outdone your work on TLJ-ACC [I haven't seen the Definitive Version yet - it'll happen soon tho!]
I can think of no higher praise for this than to say [with utmost respect to you, DK] you have actually succeeded in polishing a turd!
I'll be honest, I thought The Theatrical Release was rubbish with practically no redeeming factors - overblown, 'tie-off-as-many-loose-ends-as possible', no 'feel', nothing! It even made some decent actors [Oscar Issac - I'm looking at you, kid!] seem 3rd rate.
This IS the definitive version of TROS - don't waste time looking back and comparing, just dive in and wallow in the really great pacing that DK has achieved.
Excellent - loved it!

This edit made a bad movie more enjoyable. Significant better product.
Good work, worth seeing.

I really enjoyed this over the original. This is what I consider my favorite changes:

The whole scene with Kylo and the Emperor (moved to my Definitive ACC of TLJ). (This was awesome and really completed the ACC of TLJ).
Luke is still alive (much better way to end this character)
Wayfinder be gone (Stupid! Glad this is gone)
Lando is introduced much later (This made his introduction so much cooler)
Kylo dies on the Death Star (Much better way to redeem/kill his character)
Rey does not die after her battle with the Emperor

Nice touches:
Light-speed skipping cut
The Emperor's broadcast is heard at the beginning of the movie
There's no force healing
No magic coin to get into Star Destroyers (sooooo dumb)
There's no hidden mechanism in the dagger (glad this is gone)
Rey has not magically learned how to steer skimmers through storms (I enjoyed this entire part of the move from the time they land to the time Rey leaves, including all characters and death of Kylo)
Instead of Leia calling out to Kylo on the Death Star, Luke is
There's no ground invasion (aka horses on a space ship) in the battle of Exagol (This was stupid)

Things that I felt empty on:
Hux goes away (I wanted his character to have closure, but I don't think there was much material to work with here)
Knights of Ren (Small loose end)

Things that I was okay with, but could use some improvements:
The transparent look of Luke :(

Overall this cut along with the DACC of TLJ are really good. I enjoy watching these now.
