Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi: Recut:
I'm one of those who came out with major disappointment from viewing The Last Jedi in cinema and I felt it was the worst Star Wars movie of all time.
This fanedit cuts off a lot of unnecessary and out of place humor. It also cuts the whole Casino/Code Breaker subplot which is a very good thing. However I felt too much of the silliness was kept. A lot of Porg material and other out of place CGI characters were still there. Even one very silly deleted scene with ridiculous CGI characters having a party was added... to me it felt so Star Wars Rebels (when it was at its worst) and I kinda hated the scene.
The sad part is that this probably makes the movie better but I personally felt it didn't go far enough. This one still feels parody compared to Force Awakens for example. If you are someone who liked the Porgs and other silly CGI characters this is probably for you.
The original movie's structure is a mess and this made it better simply by cutting the Casino part. However it was dragging a bit and phasing felt somewhat off. Audio quality was okay, although a small minus for having only Stereo sound. I know it's difficult to maintain the original 5.1 or 7.1 sound. Video quality was a bit weak for HD but it was decent.
This was a decent effort to make The Last Jedi better. Thumbs up for the effort! I will be waiting for future fanedits that really take a harsh approach to the humor and CGI characters. If they find a way to deal with that and also make Rose less annoying and Luke less bitter, I believe I can finally watch The Last Jedi without grinning.
