I’m a little confused about the goal/direction of the second version. Can someone summarize what is going on with version 2?
Thanks!
Same goal as v1, but with additional changes to deal with issues that came from the restructuring.
Changes from v1 to v2:
• A new crawl introducing the fact that the First Order has a new weapon. TFA Restructured introduces the threat of Starkiller Base later than the original movie does, so it is hinted at in the crawl instead.
• New music for the scene outside Maz’s castle to change the mood a bit. Since the crowd doesn’t react to the Hosnian system’s destruction but to an impending attack the music needs to reflect this.
• The incoming TIEs that originally replaced the Hosnian destruction will be changed to a Star Destroyer.
• Finn’s line “It’s the First Order, they’ve done it” will be changed to “It’s the First Order, they’ve found us” to make more sense.
• Hopefully fix a few instances where Kylo is talking to Snoke and his helmet is on where it should be off.
• Possibly inserting a deleted scene where Leia instructs Korr Sella to ask the senate for help.
• The view of the Starkiller Base when the X-Wings approach will be changed to remove the signs of the weapon firing.
• Remove cheerful Poe after the Starkiller Base destruction.
• JEDIT: Stabilized final shot.
As well as some other small ideas that may or may not end up happening. There was a discussion on page 23 about some further restructuring and stuff.
