okay, so i have played around with this slightly and this is what the clips look like currently. if you all think that this looks good enough to be the final version then i will upload a video version. but for now pix are all you get š
Finnās View:
Hanās View:
Really looks great now! I would have placed them even further away but itā good as it is too. I think there should be more TIEs though, the fleet in your shots seems quite small compared to what we see later in the Rey scene. And I would maybe try and make them a little brighter. I donāt know if that makes any sense but I feel like it could look better.
it seems as though everyone wants to see them further away, which i may try, idk. as far as there not being enough in the fleet, i think you are wrong. if you re-examine the shot where rey sees the fleet, we really dont see that many ties. besides, why would you send a huge fleet of ties to take our one little castle of seemingly unknowing and off guard bar patrons, and the same applies to the trooper transports. at least thats the way i see it. i will try making them ābrighterā. i did try to give them a bit of a sky color tint so as to seem like they are in the distance somewhat.
i wonder if there would be a way to insert the an edited version of the lines snoke says to kylo about sentiment and darth vader from the book. something like this:
It was neither poor strategy nor arrogance that brought down the Empire. You know too well what did.ā Ren nodded once. āSentiment.ā āSuch a simple thing. Had Lord Vader not succumbed to emotion, the Empire would have prevailed. And there would be no threat of Skywalkerās return today.
i found this guy on youtube who does an uncanny impression of snoke:
Fantastic!
reminds me of this
i also found this
might be good for a recreation if the seller is willing to scan it
oh man! this thread is the greatest! HBO is how i was first introduced to Star Wars. i think my parents still have the recording on VHS at home. i was going to offer it up, but it looks like you guys might have a better source now.
this is my new version of the ties approaching for this idea of moving the destruction of the New Republic. i have also posted this in the new thread Hal made.
what do you all think?
here is my newly updated version of the tie approach based on input from users here. let me know what you all think
I agree with you, the TIEs should come from the stardestroyer in the background and also be far away so that it makes sense for the patrons not to run away. I would actually make them even smaller in that first shot of Finn looking to the sky. I would even go as far and make them really tiny white spots coming from the Stardestroyer and then about as big as they are in Telecines version for the second shot when Han and the patrons look up. But there also need to be some transports and in Telecines version they seem too ordered, which kinda makes them fake-looking I guess. I donāt really know how to fix that but I think some more variety in their movement/position could help.
+1
I am only following HALās 9000 direction. We went back and forth via PM of how to do this and his vision. My laptop can not handle element 3D very well where it was crashing AE and all of my compositions. So I was limited to using TIE cutouts from popular JPG files out on the internet. You can only manipulate a 2D image so much, so if I were to bring the TIEās in any closer it would look Fake. Any ideas moving forth would be cool.
Hal I would recommend starting a new forum for this once you figure out a Title for your edit. This one is very old and General from way back when TFA was released last December.
it is kind of slow going, especially since i just started learning for this little shot, but i have been using blender for the transports. i was able to find a few free models too that i have been using. if i can get it to look right, i am willing to assist in anyway with this edit. i too agree that Hal needs to just start a new thread for this. š
all in all, i think this is going to look great once it is completed and i think others would appreciate using some of the shots discussed here so far
Thanks for the compliment Jack!
Yours is terrific as well. I wasnāt expecting anyone to do the fx so quickly! You probably should wait until you hear from Hal, but do you mind if I give my opinion?
I know that the TIEs and transports are flying overheard when Rey sees them, but I imagine that they flew low and are heading toward Mazās castle, since Rey has ran a distance away from it herself. So by having then fly the same way over Mazās head, it doesnāt seem like theyāre flying toward the castle.
My suggestion would be to have them instead flying downwards from out of the Star Destroyer (which also looks perfect btw). In this scenario they would be much smaller, like a swarm of specs flying out of the Star Destroyer toward them. Also, them being farther away would explain why the patrons arenāt running for their lives just yet.
But yeah, Iād wait for Halās and few other opinions but that would be my suggestion. Either way though it looks great to me! A lot better than what I could do!
i understand what you are saying. my thinking on it is that a descent from a star destroyer is similar to the way a plane descends. they have to sort of circle around before. but i guess thats not exactly how they came down at the beginning of the movie. Iāll work on it a bit more and try to put somthing out in the next week or so.
I think he meant during the resolution, when they return from the battle. Maybe Iām wrong but if thatās the case I see why you saw it that way, Hal.
Here is a short clip that cuts Poeās dialogue about Hosnian Prime when Finn meets Leia.

this is perfect
tell me what you think of this Hal
i have also played around with trying to make the whole r2 scene lessā¦odd i guess is the best word to describe it. my thoughts on it is that we dont see r2 until the very end. in my version SKB destroys the New Republic after Han dies as we all here have discussed. then when everyone is at their low point, bb8 rolls up to r2. 3p0 gives his speech about him being in low power mode and they both roll/walk away. then r2 comes alive.
Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and have vowed to take control of the galaxy.
Failing to convince the New Republic of this looming threat, General Leia Organa has formed a brave RESISTANCE to stand against the First Order and the powerful Starkiller weapon.
Desperate for help, General Organa has sent her bravest pilot to Jakku to learn the location of the last Jedi, while dark forces gather far aboveā¦
This is really good! I like how you said āthis looming threatā instead. If I could give any suggestions, I can only pick out two things: I would suggest switching one of the times you use brave/bravest with a different word just for variation, since you use to describe both the Resistance and Poe. Maybe ābest pilotā? And maybe you could say ātheir powerful Starkiller weaponā too. Nitpicky I know. I had actually considered calling it an āancient weaponā just because Iām confused how the First Order could afford building that thing, but I felt that it was more important to know that it was unknown to the Republic.
thank you for your suggestions
i decided to change the āā¦brave RESISTANCEā¦ā to āfearless RESISTANCEā¦ā
i think that it has a weight behind it that ābraveā did not.

I love this!! I have been trying to figure out exactly how to go about writing a crawl so thanks for that. with that being said this is my go at it using your structure and even some of the same working. i kind of used your proposed crawl as a framework for my own. lemme know what you all think:

Well, that didnt take long for them to take it down, this is the new link to my new SFX for the Falcon Chase scene. let me know what you think, if I need changes ect.
if you would like to use this sound for your edit, please PM me and I will send you a link to the uncompressed 5.1 wav file
Well we will see how long this will stay up because it is youtube but this is the replacement of the sound to fit with the OT
i second this
Iāll just leave this here:
i stand my ground and refuse to spill it that wey
lol
I donāt remember a Mellenium Falcon in any Star Wars movie.
its the proper way to spell it
BB-8 could be clips of Bill Hader and Ben Schwartz. Or just stick with Schwartzā character on Parks and Recreation.
this has already been done kinda, and yes, it is hilarious

I donāt remember a Mellenium Falcon in TFA.
she has had a lot of special modifications over the years
Oh crap, he normally has links in his videos, he doesnāt here š¦
its okay, i think i have those very sounds somewhere
