Having just completed this I've gotta say "wow!"

What a great set of changes to the movie, most notably of course the deepfakes (amazing!) and the new ending (feels good!). I could still tell that there was supposed to be some kind of death at the end, I could just feel it in the framing of the shots, but you worked around it fantastically well and what you gave us was a fun and uplifting rebellion story!

There were very few audio issues, mostly just something soft in the ear like a sound that seems to end quickly, or a voice that disappears too fast, but I know sometimes that unavoidable. Likewise the shots in the ending were done as well as possible, near perfect, but there was a small amount of character movement that didn't (maybe couldn't) line up.

Overall you've created a very fun edit that sucks out the down moments and redeems some of the characters (Cassian especially). Excellent work, would definitely watch again!

I really enjoyed this edit, a different ending to one of my favorite Star Wars movies. This won't be my go to version, but it was a nice fun change. Technically it was very solid, not perfect but very solid. Nice work!

A solid edit - well planned and beautifully executed!
I loved the theatrical cut well enough to buy the blu-ray, and greatly appreciated "RotR - A Rogue One Edit", but Survival Edition is definitely my new go-to version. I truly enjoyed this edit. It managed to trim to perfection the annoying bits (mostly Saw Guerrera and the Tentacled Interrogator, but also the original depressing ending) and smooth out several tiny bits (like ADRed lines and fan-service).
My only issue is that the survival bit is very jump-cutty, but given the source material - amazing work.

Rogue One is the only Star Wars movie outside of the original films that I felt did the OT any credit. It had the look and feel of the classic Star Wars and I didn't think it could possibly be improved upon. Then along comes DigModiFicaTion and proves me wrong! All of the changes are welcomed, no matter how small or big: whether removing planet title cards, or replacing Tarkin's/Leia's face with the deepfake ones. But, of course, the biggest change of all in this edit is having the Rogue One crew survive their mission. This was a bold undertaking and I couldn't wait to see how he'd do it... But boy, did he. Really clever editing has achieved a happier ending through what was, in my eyes, seamless editing. And a massive improvement on the original film. It never sat well with me, the original 'Dirty Dozen' ending - now Jyn and friends live to see another day. It's a shame K2SO couldn't also be saved, as he was easily the best character in the whole film. But his sacrifice remains a touching and noble one. I take my hat off to you, sir! You have done great things here and this is my new go to version of this film :)

** On a side note, there is only one change that I would have made to this edit, and that is to reinstate Chirrut's line of "Are you kidding me? I'm blind!" which I thought was a great line and did not detract from the movie or his character in any way.
