There's really no need to say if you've sent a PM, as the user will already receive a notification. :)

That’s a good point! I think it’s something I saw someone else do, so I copied that, but yeah it’s not necessary!
 
Hello, I am happy to say that I have posted the V2 of Rekindled! The first post has been updated, and any vimeo links needing updates have been posted as well.
(If you already have a link to the V1, it’s the same link so no need to ask again if you’ve made a request previously, though you are welcome to if you can’t find it!)

V2 is not a dramatic shift, but more of a refinement pass based on feedback and my own notes. I must thank Hal 9000 and jarbear of Origintaltrilogy.com for their updated version of Canto Bight, which fleshes out the casino planet a little bit more, giving it more meaning and showing us broom boy briefly.
There are also many suggestions that I tried, and decided not to implement for various reasons. I’ve listed those below as well.

V2 Changes:
  1. adjusted music during Hux call to improve flow and tension while retaining the same dialogue as in V1.
  2. added some light reflection of the explosion to the shot of Poe after the bridge explosion, per FreezingTNT2’s suggestion.
  3. adopted Hal 9000 and jarbear’s version of Canto Bight, with Finn and Rose more time looking through the casino, allowing us to see broom boy.
  4. Phasma’s body is now added in the Finn/Rose hanger scene while the Supremacy is crumbling, per hal 9000’s suggestion.
  5. Tweaked the fx shot of the cannon firing on Crait. My first pass removing Finn and Rose from the shot looked a little rough to me so I wanted to improve it.
Changes I tried, but decided against:
  1. Remove “Oh no” from opening battle. It was an easy edit, but it just didn’t feel like a necessary change. I can see why the on-the-nose dialogue irks some people, but it feels pretty natural in Star Wars to me, and without it, that scene just feels like ambience. The line punctuates the shot.
  2. Reduce BB-8 silliness in the opening battle. I’ve seen it done many ways, but to me it’s not a necessary change. I don’t mind that there’s some silly slapstick in the movie here.
  3. Remove Maz’s labor union dispute reference. Tried again but it didn’t work, it is too woven into the shots.
 
V3 COMING SOON!

After The Rise of Skywalker, it appeared necessary to tease a little of the return of Palpatine, as the reveal happened pretty abruptly. I’ve been at work on it for a little while (you can track the progress on OT.com) and now have a workprint ready. If you would like to see it, feel free to PM me (it’s also at the same link as the V2 if you have it).

Here's a consolidated post of all of the V3 changes:

[REMOVED - SEE V3 RELEASE POST BELOW!]
 
These all sound promising; TLJ doesn't require any Palpatine on its own, but JJ treated TROS as if the groundwork had already been laid. Thanks for doing his work for him.
 
Im glad you like so far, and I agree with what you said. Hopefully, this will help smooth the transition between the two movies!
 
I'll pm you an idea I had its more on the radical side. But I did a vision sequence inspired by the Vader visions in the rise of skywalker. This hints at the idea that she is a Palpatine and shows what she could become if she lets herself fall into the dark side.
 
V3 RELEASED!

After a few more tweaks, V3 is now complete!

This new version is a direct response to The Rise of Skywalker, and intends to ease the transition between the two films by teasing the surprise return of Emperor Palpatine. As often happens, the change list kept growing and we started making fixes to other parts of the film as well.
 
Therefore, for those not interested in any Palpatine teases in The Last Jedi, I will be updating V2 to include those other improvements.
 
Once again, here are the V3 changes:


V3 PALPATINE TEASES
(PW for all: fanedit)

1) Dark Side Cave 1st Appearance Sith Whispers
(
)
Description: added Sith whispers as the cave first calls to Rey (note: I did try to add a reverb of Palpatine actually saying "Rey" from "I'm afraid the deflector shield..." as was suggested but it just didn't work.)

2) Dark Side Cave Sith Whispers and Hood
(
)
Description: Added Sith whispers and Palpatine's hood appears in the reflection just before Rey's face appears.

3) Flashback Palpatine Laugh (by HAL 9000 and TiMartyn)

5) Snoke Sith Death - Subtle
