Oh, well, at least it’s a scene I was already planning to remove.
I won’t say I saved Kijimi, just created an alternate universe in which it survives.
There’s audio? Man I really don’t have this movie committed to memory yet.
w00t
Did they really indicate he translated the spy intel from Sith?
I hope that once jonh finished with the hair, it won’t be too hard to apply the work done to de-blue Luke to that footage.
Yeah, those lines are gone, Muffy. It sounds good as it is, and I don’t think it’s needed to add reverb. Yoda sure didn’t have any in TLJ and the center channel is not totally free of music and ambience anyway.
I originally thought a deleted scene of the broadcast could be interspersed with the reveal of the fleet, but I don’t think the right resources are there to make it work. And it’s pretty much ONLY the added lines from idir that make it worthwhile anyway.
Yeah, Poe is just there to be like “okay guys, here’s the deal, they brought back Palpatine for this one.”
Is there a clip I can reference for that?
I don’t want to re-purpose a bunch of footage from the old movies, as I feel that would be pretty fan edit-y.
Idir, I will say that that is the best (audio at least) of the broadcast I’ve heard. The new lines are sublime.
There’s just… nowhere to put this, is there? I like that you tie it into Luke and events of the last two movies like Palpatine is moving along a plan in retrospect.
Yeah, I’m not changing the title for this one. It’s not needed; it’s supposed to make you wonder what it means, at least does something to make Palpatine’s line “she is not who you think she is” not be completely obvious, and ties into the ending.
Hmm, I wonder if there’s any chance at all that the regime change for IX influenced that scene being pared down. Probably not, right?
And this project is finished as far as I’m concerned, it’s just that discussion of that deleted scene started up in here.
What do you have in mind?
I was disappointed in what the message turned out to be, as heard in the dumb video game tie-in. Sounds vague and useless.
Yes, thank you, Octorox!
Go on…
I haven’t been following this, but I’ll look forward to making this my method for preparing for season 2!
I would prefer if the line “the mighty Chewbacca” is used, that it not resemble Jabba’s delivery in ROTJ.
Has anyone thought of using this as the ending of the movie? The music and everything make it more powerful than the original one.

Maybe it can be used for the Rey Nobody cut?
Been over this a few times, but the short answer is no.
For which one?
Palpatine’s speech would be too on the nose, and I would like it if the Kylo thinking shot could be extended.
lol, that would be way too on the nose for me.
Muffy, I prefer to leave that sequence as I’ve got it but thank you for mocking up your idea. 😃 😕
And I don’t have the ability to smooth out slowed footage. Can anyone stretch that shot, though? It’d be seamless if smoothed.
They were still pretty not smooth, though. Ridley has smoothed video before, I know at least.
If someone with the frame-smoothing ability can process it, even an extra second is welcome.
I feel like I joined this forum at the vest time. Loving all the input and how the group process is working. It keeps it so fresh.
TFA:R was fun, too. Especially working to finish it in time for a pre-TLJ premiere viewing.
The gist: no one steps up to execute the common idea of moving SKB’s firing to the third act, so I reluctantly try. I succeed in part, but it doesn’t totally work, and I feel dissatisfied with it being something that really wants to work, but doesn’t really.
Then, in early 2017, NeverArGreat and Sir Ridley (in particular, there were others like Jackpumpkinhead) swoop in from nowhere and do a ton of FX work. With new doors open, we all have a process going with an eye on December 2017. We largely succeed, though put out a more polished version a month or two later.
I put out a V3 (and then a mostly technical issue-correcting but also Palptine-tweaking V4) with a few more changes that are broadly welcomed, deciding not to restrain myself like I had, given that 8 and 9 would receive Hal9000 edits after all. (I had naively hoped the ST wouldn’t need fan edits, so TFA was treated minimally invasively.)
Updated OP with a tracker for specific things needed from other people. Cool to see a short list! We’ll get this thing out the door. Baby steps, and no rush.
Seems like that would imply the TIEs are acting as troop carriers, maybe?
I’m okay with the theatrical Mustafar scene, so if we end up not using an extension it’s really okay. It’ll just be a well-explored but closed off avenue. We’ll see!
Chase, I don’t think Kef Bir needs to be altered, as it looks pretty similar to Endor already, moreso maybe even than two different sides of Earth.
I’m going to use the Ochi ship shot, and I’m glad the group process got it to look as good as it is now!
Mustafar… There’s no chance of me removing the sequence, as doing so heaps on pacing problems that it can’t bear. I like the idea of buffering the opening with some more footage, and as it is it’s the same soundtrack piece we hear in the scene extended in reverse from that point. I’ve never been a gamer myself and the troops don’t appear weird to me at all, yet I keep hearing that that footage genuinely bugs a lot of you because it begs a sense I must not really have. I don’t want something dodgy as the first couple shots of the movie, so I’ll stew on this for a while longer.
