Star Wars: The Last Skywalker Awakens

Overall I enjoyed this much more than the theatrical. It’s way tighter, the editing is terrific and the IMAX escape from Jakku is a thing of beauty.

Some issues I found are quibbles:

-The scroll looks like it has been cropped too close on the right side
-There is still unexplained visible smoke in frame when Finn wakes up on Jakku.

This edit still tells the same basic story and, IMO, that story still has a lot of issues. It also doesn’t really work for me as two movies. It’s more one long movie with an intermission. And that still makes it difficult for me to sit through. There are still things here that I think can and should be removed, but that is a matter of preference. I could make a wish list of what I would want out of this series, but I can’t be sure any of it would actually work. To judge this on its own merits as a tighter and more focused version of the same story, it works very well.

I applaud the hard work. It truly is great what you've managed to make out of 3 movies that Disney-- Many of the edits, I quite enjoyed. Especially, cutting out some of the annoying BS.

I would recommend this cut to anyone.

Wow, this edit was outstanding, and this is coming from one who dislikes the disney sequels intensely.
The light trimes to dialogue to remove the cringe throughout makes the leads of Kylo and Rey so much more likable, the cutting of redundant scenes such as the entire removal the Finn and Rose subplot, no super weapons and adding foreshadowing throughout was perfect.
Some minor critiques, by having starkiller not destroy the republic, its absence is felt a lot and if possible an explanation needs to be stated as to why it remains neutral, perhaps when the First Order says that they're just people, when referring to Lando's fleet, they could say it's the republic! Also a lack of 5.1 sound is keenly felt. I also think this edit would work if broken up into episodes like a TV show then you could have a mini crawl to explain things that cannot be edited in.
But all in all I'll say this edit is the one I'll watch next time I feel the need to watch the sequels.
Thank you for making this.

First of all, this edit is awesome in so many ways. Not only it has very good Audio/Video quality but it also includes subtitles. Subtitles are always welcome. Color grading is also very good in this one and actually noticeable. This edit also provides a seamless experience and cuts a lot of the bad stuff.

Now coming to the stuff I did not like. The narrative and pacing on the Episode IX part is not my cup of tea. The VII and VIII parts are super fun to watch but IX part seemed a bit boring to me as was the original The Rise of Skywalker movie. But since you've done such a good job for the first two movies I definitely think ROS part can be improved further.

I also did not like Leia having a purple light saber. Doesn't make sense for so many reasons.
I also did not like the empty screen when Rey has visions while she was training. Other editors have done a better job on that part.

Given the source material I still enjoyed it a lot especially VII and VII parts. So I recommend this to everyone. That being said I still feel IX part can be improved to a lot by pacing it faster.
