Very, very rough test for an idea regarding Luke dropping the lightsaber:
That’s great, I’d like to use that. It would be nice to have a shot of the saber landing. Perhaps that could be composited from some other shots, or even filmed by someone with a replica saber.
I’ve been playing around with the digital release and exploring ways to alter Canto Bight.
I’m trying out a less aggressive editing path first off which would be going from the prison cell conversation to them in hyperspace. I am curious whether it would be best to cut to a different scene after the prison or one right after the other to make it less confusing.
-Cut from prison cell to hyperspace
-Used The Last Jedi OST to smooth over transitionI think this needs something in between to establish that they get into/are in the ship and/or that the ship leaves Canto Bight.
That’s the issue. I can’t find anything as of right now that would serve that purpose well. If I can’t find it then maybe just a trimmed fathier chase is the route. But I’d really like to find a way to get rid of it entirely.
The fathier chase wouldn’t be too bad if it was shortened. As long as the cringy lines and overly comedic shots of the casino being smashed up are gone.
