Her triple-TIE combo shot was removed from the battle of Crait in the conventional interest of "less is more," and is not intended as a commentary of Rey herself. Her natural talent for using the Force and heroic escapades are necessary to get the film's story in motion. This edit does not attempt to alter Rey's character in any meaningful way. Humor is very subjective, so I attempted to thread the needle as best I could. For example, as much as I enjoyed the "iron/spaceship" gag, it felt like something from a parody of Star Wars rather than something within it.
Star Wars has always relied on humor, though has never strayed into Spaceballs territory. The humor in this film has been pruned, though a great deal of humor has been retained. The changes made to his character in this edit are intended to allow him to remain somewhat threatening, at least up until Kylo Ren takes over as Supreme Leader toward the end. Regarding General Hux: It is not my intention to "rescue" this character, as he is rightfully played as a youthful, arrogant Neo-Nazi buffoon. While this edit doesn't seek to reverse this, some instances of this were addressed in order to (hopefully) allow the film to do this while still feeling like part 8 of a 9-part story. This film subverts audience/fan expectation at many points. Rather, this is my way of engaging with the film and putting a slight spin on it. What this project is NOT intended as is an indictment of Disney or Rian Johnson. This is intended as constructive I enjoy TLJ quite a bit and, given my history with producing fan edits, it was inevitable that I would attempt something like this.
This is a fairly conservative edit, doing what is possible to streamline the film without radically altering it. To address a few standout issues about the film which distract from its focus.
