Brief Synopsis:
The dreaded Galactic Empire is crumbling. Following the death of the Emperor, regional powers have begun to take up arms against their imperial overlords.
Seeking to end this growing unrest, Supreme Leader Snoke has created the FIRST ORDER, a paramilitary force tasked with crushing dissent in star systems not yet in full rebellion.
Meanwhile, the largest of these separatist governments, The New Republic, has formed their own resistance group to oppose the First Order. But in this time of need, they are without their champion. Luke Skywalker has vanished...

Intention:
This edit started as a recreation of a very simple edit I made back in 2018 when I didn't know that the fanediting community even existed.
Throughout the creation of this edit, with help and input from members of the community, it evolved into a much more ambitious project that I never would have thought I was capable of before.
Despite this being one of the most commonly edited movies in one of the most commonly edited franchises, I sincerely believe this edit has high quality and unique changes that will make it worthwhile for even a SW edit connoisseur to watch.
I hope you enjoy it!

Other Sources:
This edit uses two shots from The Day After Tomorrow, and a handful of stock images and sound effects for the custom VFX scenes.
Special Thanks:
So many people helped me with this edit in one way or another, so if I miss you off the list, I'm really sorry. I promise it's not from indifference, just from being overwhelmed by the incredible support from this community.
First of all, I have to thank DonkeyKonga who's ideas transformed this edit from mediocre to a project I'm really proud of.
krausfadr, addiesin, and FrameSniffer all helped me with my first attempt at VFX.
FrameSniffer, Bailey, DigModiFicaTion, Wraith, ArtIsDead, and especially INIGHTMARES helped me with the second big VFX moment which came from DonkeyKonga's idea.
Wraith also helped me convert the audio for surround sound.
Phase3 helped me write, and created the opening text crawl, and proof-watched the edit for me.
And ArtIsDead also proof-watched the edit, and created the poster and my new title card for me, not to mention the avatar in the title card.
I genuinely couldn't have done this without all your help.
Thank you so much!

Editing Details:
I did all of the editing for this in Wondershare Filmora. Some of the VFX were done using EbSynth, but the majority of the VFX scenes were done by animating masks and JPGs.

Great edit! Overall pacing is improved, comedy is reduced (but not removed entirely) and characters actually stay in character.
It's an improvement and the new Starkiller Base alone is what should have been done from the very beginning!
I only have a few small problems with it to keep it from perfection:
Imo the temper tantrum should have been unaltered. Nothing wrong with a temper tantrum. I'd either cut the entire force choking section and keep all of it calm or keep it as the original.
Video quality is nice for the filesize, but I'd prefer a bigger, higher quality file.
Pacing is good, and most cuts are invisible apart from the part where Han Solo first meets the duo. I'd cut Rey's comment entirely and cut from 36:35 to 36:38 and work on the audio on Han a bit to be shorter. If he interrupts her anyway you might as well cut it altogether for better visual continuity.
The Rathtar scene cuts were terrific, improved the scene quite a bit.
I hate Snoke and always will think everything about him is stupid even his name, but I won't fault you for it. But I'd just wish he was named differently. Can't he just be cut out altogether? Have Kylo be the leader figure and introduce him later if at all? That way you can keep his tantrums and actually enhance his character.
The Rey vision is fantastic as is, although imo it could use some more tweaks for better visual continuity (as mentioned to you earlier in a PM)
The new function or Starkiller base and the VFX are great! It's definitely an improvement over the original in concept and removes one of the biggest problems with the original! Which is it's lack of originality. 10 for narrative for this reason most of all.
Any Star Wars fan owes it to himself to watch this.
Also, you do realise I now need you to edit part 8 and 9?
