Is there a repeated Poe shot? The one that he looks over to the hole in the oscillator. Is that the same one used for when he’s looking at the Starkiller’s laser?

I think so.

Originally I had used the shot of the female pilot reacting to an explosion (which I think fits better), but I suppose it was too obvious a repeat if the original scene was going to be played verbatim. I think some editing could be done to put her reaction back in the Starkiller firing and simply remove that reaction from the original scene.

I think if you add some Starkiller laser glow it shouldn’t be a problem.

I did that when I worked on the slow motion effect for that part, so the shot isn’t identical in color, at least.

Would flipping the shots be a possibility ? (I noticed the re-use of those shots as well)

Flipping wouldn’t work well, but maybe cropping and/or reversing the shot could work.

I will try editing the shot of the girl out of the later scene, but I think Poe looking over like that is a better shot for the firing scene. (It’s reused, sure, but it fits well.)

Also, we have no plans to do FX work on Kylo Ren’s hood in the second Snoke scene; it seems like something out of our reach.

I think it’s actually very much doable (for someone who unlike me has any skills in that area) as the only shots that need editing are those where we see Kylo (and Hux) from behind, looking up at Snoke. And there is a shot with the same camera angle that shows Kylo with his hood. So it should be possible to take Kylo from that shot and put him on top of the unmasked shots.

I guess I can have a look when the other things are done.

It’s not the kind of thing that strikes me as easy, but I am out of my reckoning. 😃

Ridley, don’t feel bad if it’s out of the realm of possibility.

I’m kinda surprised that you said that it’s not possible. I think it could be. I could have a go at it as well and try if that helps.

I’ll work on it tomorrow and let you know. Though the clips I put out will be 720 due to restrictions on my machine. But I think it will be fairly straight forward. I originally didn’t do it when I first removed his hood because it was extra work and didn’t think anyone would notice. But I should have know trying to get anything past the eagle-eyed viewers of this community. 😉

Hal 9000 could you possibly give me timestamps for all the fx edits by any chance ?

Well, turns out I may not get to those scenes this week. Got slammed with work that I’m gonna need to give my attention to first. If Ridley can get to them before me, that is fine. But I seriously doubt I will be able to even sit down to look at it by week’s end. Sorry guys

Here are some slowed down shots for the Falcon escape scene. Are they the last ones needed?

They’re not quite perfect since the visuals are so complicated. The frame blending doesn’t work great on fast motion and multiple layers of motion, but at least it doesn’t stutter anymore.

Of course there is still the simpler solution of simply cutting out a bit of the music, like I originally did, and you won’t have to use slowed shots and new sound effects. But the slowed shots should work pretty well now.

Thanks, Ridley! That’s all the slowed down shots I needed.

I still need the redone 3PO leg shot, sans widescreen matting, and audio for Maz and Snoke scene with music scaled back for the dialogue. And NeverarGreat needs the Leia deleted scene to recolor.

But that’s it, barring any potential work on Kylo Ren’s hood. 😃

Rian Johnson said that are over 20min of fully completed (But deleted) scenes that will be on the Last Jedi bluray. Help us Hal 9000, you’re our only hope.

Hello there.

I have taken a stab at cloakless Kylo. If you look very closely you might see the shakiness of the matte but I think it works well enough.

Let me know if you need it in any other format.
