I feel like the biggest issue is the skin color is too dark, which shouldn’t be terribly hard to fix (seems like you’ve already adjusted it, though I wonder if you could go further). His eyes also seem to be a little too squinty, don’t know if that’s adjustable though.

Yeah, the eyes and skin could use some work. I’ll see what’s possible when I have the full movie to work on.

Possible deleted scene list has been making its rounds online. It seems some are throwaways while others may be good to use. Let’s hope for no overlaid timecodes this time.

  • Alternate Opening
  • Paige’s Gun Jams
  • Luke Has a Moment
  • Poe: Not Much of a Sewer
  • It’s Kind of Weird That You Recorded That
  • The Caretaker Sizes Up Rey
  • Caretaker Village Sequence
  • The Costumes and Creatures of Canto Bight
  • Extended Fathier Chase
  • Mega Destroyer Incursion – Extended Version
  • Rose Bites the Hand That Taunts Her
  • Phasma Squealed Like a Whoop Hog
  • Rose & Finn Go To Where They Belong
  • Rey & Chewie in the Falcon

The Skywalker Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.

Looking forward to seeing the Rose and Luke scenes especially.

There was MORE CANTO BIGHT!? Oh dear.

Based on the scene titles, “Mega Destroyer Incursion” is probably Tom Hardy’s cut elevator cameo. “Caretaker Village Sequence” may be the cut Luke lesson #3 from the Star Wars Show preview. For edit potential, I’m curious about the “Alternate Opening,” “Luke has a Moment,” and “Rey & Chewie in the Falcon.”

Amazingly, none of the deleted scenes’ names left me excited to see them. I was looking forward to them. Let’s hope they’re actually interesting.

Given what actually made it in the movie wasn’t largely interesting, I doubt the stuff they cut is much better.

I strongly suspect the deleted scenes will open up a whole new world of possible edits and storyline changes for everyone here. Like, just with the Canto stuff alone, the whole sequence could be redone and made more relevant.

Like, imagine if there’s enough dialogue to add a single line that would explain away a lot of the complaints about lack of exposition:

DJ : You know this Snoke? War profiteer.

A single line like that would explain Snoke’s entire power and presence.

Maybe it’s 16:9 because they cropped the time codes? 😮

Maybe, but it doesn’t look like it. Assuming the time codes would look like the ones from TFA they would have to cut off the left side of the image but the framing of the shots look good, nothing seems to be missing. But we still don’t know if they will actually look like this on the home release, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Idea put in the crawl that there is a spy in the resistance so that fixs some issues with the holdo plot and that is why she wouldn’t tell the Resistance her plan.

Wasn’t it stated in the film that they believed there to be a spy due to the First Order’s ability to track them through hyperspace?

^ Same here - I was hoping for a deleted scene or a further reference to expand upon it - maybe in the coming TLJ novel too?

Found another YouTuber suggesting a spy subplot to the film to help improve it. Specifically, making Rose the spy.
https://youtu.be/dVH0I-Vt9zA

While I don’t know if that idea would’ve worked or not, I do think it is interesting how multiple people have suggested that emphasizing at least the possibility of a spy would’ve helped improve the film.

Despite myself being at peace with the Luke Vs Kylo fight it would be really awesome if someone reimagined the fight & use 3d doubles to give us an actual saber fight!I know that would require alot of work but can happen right?

You either die a trilogy or live long enough to see yourself become batman & robin.

This is very very hypothetic but if someone would bother to add a fight I think actor doubles (with digital faces if needed) would be the easiest way (but far from easy) to pull it off convincingly. Of course it can happen, but I doubt it.

Also I’m not sure the projected light saber could clash with a real light saber.

Kinda stretching it but it is possible just to edit out that it’s a force projection & imply that it’s the real luke plus change the blade to green for obvious reasons.

Yeah, but then you’d have to change his hair and beard too, since his projection looks younger. And you can’t use the original Ach-To death scene. Would Luke die in the fight? You’d have to make all sorts of crazy changes. Would he live? You’d have to make crazy changes to Episode IX. So that might be nearly impossible. 😛

Hehe you got me but hey just throwing some ideas out there for fun but who knows someone might pick up on this idea one day.

Of course, it’s better to discuss some wild ideas than just sticking to the easy ones!

Would you remove Holdo?

She’s too important to the plot to remove entirely. But, depending on who’s edit you’re watching, some of her more confrontational dialogue with Poe might be trimmed.

So, as one point in my “fix list” I have “fix Yoda’s face”. I think most of us agree that it was great to see the little puppet, but I’ve seen many say that there was something off about his look, which I agree with. I think it’s mostly due to the mouth which looks a bit different. So for my edit I’ll try to overlay and animate the correct Yoda mouth. Here’s a simple test image (original left, fixed right):

When you end up finishing these scenes, do you plan on releasing them for others to use (crosses fingers)

Absolutely! I’ll make a thread when I start editing and share anything I make that could be useful for others.
