Rogue one was, for the first time, something different to what we where used to in Star Wars films. I remember people around me commenting so and they where right. Unfortunately, for me, that wasn't enough to make me like it, no matter how excellent the visual effects or cinematography where. My overall enjoyment was around 5-6. At first I gave a try to "Rogue One: The Battle of Scarif" by eldusto84. Although technically an excellent edit and it actually succeeded in creating a 50min version of this movie without feeling like a mess, it was far too aggressive for me. I mean, if we didn't do that with "The Phantom Menace", we certainly didn't need to do this with this one.

Technical-wise, the audio and visual editing for "Rise of Rebellion" is excellent! I didn't notice or "feel" that anything was tampered with, in any scene. And that goes also for DigiModiFicaTion's "non survival" version of this. So job well done here! Not that I was expecting anything less, having seen before "The Coaxium Heist" and "Thor: Ragnarok trimmed edition" by the same editor.

On the narrative side of things, which is the most important part for me, it was also a big improvement! More streamlined, less annoying parts, clever addition removing Saw looking down the secret hatch from the first time and of course, what the title advertises, we get a happy ending! Although, I feel the movie needed a biiit more extra trimming. It still feels too long. Otherwise, the changes where great!

So, this edit is reccomended to anyone who found the original 'ok' and above. If you did, this or the "non survival" edition, will be your go-to version! For me it's the non-survival version because of 'canon' reasons. What happened to all these guys after Rogue One, since they lived? To anyone who did not like the original at all, I don't think this will do anything for you.

Thank you DigiModiFicaTion, thanks to anyone who read my review and may the force be with you!

P.S. I copy pasted here like 90% of my review from the non-survival version, because it also applies here. I just changed or added the stuff that where for this version only.
