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.

I hadn’t watched the original cut since seeing it in the theater. Every time I started watching it again, I stopped at the cellphone joke.

I think this cut has a really good overall balance of humor, removing quite a bit, but leaving some in. I laughed at the jokes in this cut, possibly because there weren’t as many, and it didn’t feel as forced.

I wanted to list all of the changes I liked about this film, but I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t seen it.

Holdo and Rose have some good moments in their abbreviated appearances. In a different fancut I watched, they were removed completely, and it made the movie worse. They’re not my favorite characters, but I’m glad they’re here. Maybe I would’ve liked to see them a tad bit more even, but I’m being nitpicky. I wish Finn had a few more moments, but it’s impossible to please everyone and make something this coherent. And I really hate that space casino from the original cut, so maybe this is the best option.

The deleted scenes were a surprise and fun. I hadn't seen them, so they felt really fresh. The Rise of Skywalker footage was used nicely too. The ending was nice and felt very Star Wars. Even this footage felt tighter here. Thumbs up.

The editing is mostly seamless. There might be two instances where I felt something might have been missing. But those moments pass fast, when the action picks up.

I really think this might be my favorite version of the film. I liked this a lot. I’m looking forward to watching The Rise of Skywalker Anti-Cringe Cut now too!

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.

When they say that films can be saved in the edit, they are right. This version still has problems that are more at fault of the original script, but even the things i didn't like are made enjoyable to watch in this edit, The cringe is indeed removed, and I will now pretend that this is the actual release I saw in cinemas.
