Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi: Anti-Cringe-Cut:
Certainly much more enjoyable than the theatrical release. Nice to see that the entire Canto Bight subplot has been removed. IMO that's the only way to deal with that. Not only does it remove awful and unnecessary content, but it serves to focus attention where it belongs, on the Rey / Luke story. Nice choice on the Leia spacewalk as well, although it does present complications with TROS, same with Luke at the end, but for the sake of this edit I thought it worked. However, it did look like her finger twitched a bit before it cut back to Luke, might be worth a double check. While I'm nitpicking, I didn't think it was necessary to redo the crawl. It wasn't changed significantly from the original. Also, I think the Luke fishing scene could be cut along with the milking scene. Doesn't seem like necessary content.
As for technical aspects, it looked good. No weird looking edits took me out of the movie. Audio was nice and clear with the dialog nice and up front in the mix.
So far this is the most satisfying TLJ edit I've watched.
