I think the audio was a bit lower at two tiny moments of the movie, i don't really remember where, i think it was when luke spoke, other than that a perfect edit.
I never thought i could sort of enjoy this movie, well thanks to don i did, thanks :)

DomKamillo managed to polish a turd. What was once an unpalatable experience now feels like a proper Star Wars narrative. The edit lives up to its name, and even had some unexpected touching moments. Bravo!

I just watched this yesterday and I can't recommend this enough. It takes a movie, filled with pointless scenes and over-the-top nonsense and turns it into something that's actually quite enjoyable. I've seen a few fanedits of TLJ, but none of them actually got me to enjoy the movie like this one does.
Is it a perfect movie now? Or a perfect Star Wars movie? No.
But it probably is the best you can get with the material there is.

Quite the accomplishment. Really make the film cohesive and exciting. Highly recommend.

Only issue was the adding of Sidious at the end of the film. The idea is a great one, however it's too jarring (maybe this is a bias knowing its not originally in it) and possibly too long. Thematically I'd imagine a tease would be more appropriate and accomplished with a voice over or a flash forward or a premonition that is shorter in time but still conveys the same message.

My friends and I came to the TLJ Anti-Cringe Cut after many discussions and debates on how disappointing the original film was - in many ways it was an effort of will to try and forget all of the baffling and obnoxious story/dialogue choices while watching. Thankfully, the Anti-Cringe cut is so well done that this moved to the back of our mind very quickly. We all agreed that this edit significantly improves on the narrative structure and tone of the story, even if some choices seem like they will make it almost impossible to marry up with The Rise of Skywalker (note: we haven't yet watched DonKamillo's RoS Anti-Cringe Cut yet).

Personally, the most significant improvements are in the ordering and timing of Rey's journey with Luke, and the entire Leia storyline. Admittedly there wasn't much to work with in the original, but DonKamillo has somehow constructed a much more satisfying arc for both characters - for Rey, the training storyline is much more reasonable and feels like a slightly more protracted version of Luke's time with Yoda in Empire, while for Leia simply removing the famously cringe space scene in favour of a dramatic early exit helps immensely. One funny note is that removing the entirety of Rose & Finn's Canto Bight storyline didn't feel like anything was missing at all (apart from a slightly jarring reminder they existed come the finale).

All in all this was an amazing piece of work and really explores what could have been with TLJ. Hats off to DonKamillo, incredible work.
