A solid edit of TLJ that makes it a lot less unlikable to me.
I enjoyed the narrative changes (mainly regarding Luke), but did feel that some things were cut inconsistently, which detracted from the rest of the narrative. Also unfortunate that this edit isn't able to be watched in succession with The Rise of Skywalker. I also felt that some of the editing of what was deemed "cringe" dialogue screwed with the audio at some points, and messed with the pacing as conversations appeared to end or escalate too quickly.
If you're not a fan of TLJ for the reasons outlined in this edit, you'll probably be more satisfied with it this way. But, I don't think this will become my "definitive" way to watch the film, although it is very close to how I would imagine it.
