Guys, I’m fine! I just lament the inability to spend quality time with editing on this project. But I am able to do what is needed to fold this together. I just wish I had more time to dedicate!

I want to keep a tight focus for this project’s scope, in order to actually release a finished product and suspend indefinite “could do-s.”

And, Cinefy, no joke, I would be happy to send you a lossless audio export if you’d like to do whatever you’d like to it musically and let me mux it in as an alternate audio track.

I will work on a last workprint. It won’t have the saber crackle sounds, so as to be coherent with the lack of crackling saber visuals for right now.

This will serve as a sync reference so that chapters, subtitles, and commentary track can be done during the wait for the last few things.

There’ll always be more ideas, but the main ones that have emerged and been vetted have been implemented and will serve as a solid base upon which anyone can build.

Tatooine causes people to age in dog years.

The current workprint has the short duel of the fates added.

I wasn’t being precise; if Bobson wants to apply the de-blue work to a future clip from jonh, that’s fine! If jonh doesn’t do it himself in the process.

I could do another workprint, hopefully as a ‘sync-locked’ version in order to get the peripheral stuff done.

The voices of the Jedi that guide Rey during the climax of TROS are replaced by a pointed monologue from Yarael Poof.

I just happened to notice that this thread now has a little over half the number of posts as Adywan’s 14 year old ANH:R thread.

That’s pretty fucking crazy.

And this project is waiting on a few things from a few people, and that may take some time, but that’s pretty much it!

Those few people include the scenes for the Nobody version or those parts are already done?

Good question. The regular version is waiting on a few things, then will be released. After that, whenever the needed scenes are completed by others, the Rey Nobody cut will be completed.

Yes, that’s a good example of what I mean! I don’t mean any offense to Cinefy whatsoever. I just don’t share a specific goal of wanting to add prequel music throughout, so I’m going to decline anything that doesn’t seem like a slam dunk. But y’know, if Cinefy would like to do an alternate audio track with any or all of those ideas, I can send him the audio output once the edit’s sync is locked.

And this project is waiting on a few things from a few people, and that may take some time, but that’s pretty much it! Once I have those things I will do a color pass using skenera’s LUTs and get all the other stuff ready. That may take some time in its own right. I’m not sure about the commentary. It will be difficult for me to find dedicated time out to record even a solo commentary, let alone coordinating a group one. I might have to just do a solo one in chunks. I’m tempted to just skip it!

Isn’t that Jar Jar’s motif? When I hear that I remember him feeling petty okie day after his brisky mornin’ munchin’.

I think that little scene is better without music. In this movie, having points like that to just have a little gag outside the main action without music helps a little to slow the pace. I hope I’m not being petty but I think it was a good call not to score that moment in the first place.

Clone army would have clones of multiple people, leaving doors open for options.

Yeah, like I said, I’m pretty set on the music being what it is at present.

And that’s an interesting idea to use Ben’s clothes! Not sure how doable it would be, I really am not sure.

I feel pretty settled about the level and method of including DOTF in the duel. It’s noticeable but subtle, brief, and leads into existing music after a gap with no score.

Well, there’d be that snippet followed by a long gap with no music, another DOTF snippet, then the existing score. I think it’d be better with just what you’ve already done.

Great job!

I was just saying that if one were somehow moving the funeral to be a few years later, then it would be reasonable to try to insert Leia somehow.

Already been done. It doesn’t even serve as a legitimate comment on the maneuver as depicted in TLJ. Worthless line.

Not sure how one would move the funeral to a few years later, but if…

Yeah, I know, but if you want the funeral to be a few years later it’d make sense for Leia to be seen.

Ay carumba. Let’s move this elsewhere.

Deepfake or augment the little girl to be Leia? Or something

NeverAr has it exactly right.

I think skenera’s recent clip is the best I’ve seen so far. He’s not sure how to finish it up, as the existing footage snooker presented as explosion flashes that reach across the frame.

Probably not.

Bugs me to keep seeing that mislabeled. It’s Reese Withouterspoon.
