stevepaynter,

That’s precisely where I was thinking of teasing it. I’m not sure if I would use the whole broadcast though, or just a bit of his voice with some laughter. It depends how it feels in the edit. The fortnite broadcast, to my knowledge, is not clean so we’d have the make the music work as is.

I do have a music track in mind that I’d love to use if we can get the fortnite broadcast clean.

It would be ok to hint of a sinister and mysterious dark force out there for Ren to go investigate. But better to not imply it’s Palpatine. He should have never been a part of the trailers, Fornite, or the opening crawl. Imagine if they had kept that reveal a secret. I think the key to a good TROS edit is to see how long the reveal of Palp can be reasonably delayed.

That’s fair. It’s a good question; what if Palpatine has been kept out of all of the trailers, games, and the opening crawl? The thing is, I think it would have fallen flat for me. It would feel like they just introduced it so we can have a new bad guy, rather than it being part of the story the whole time.

I would like to tease something at the end of TLJ.

Anyone wondering what the broadcast from Palpatine sounds like here is the transmission. Its about 25 seconds. Not sure if you need to cut any of it but it may too long for the scene

Good points, poppasketti. It will be interesting to see your approach. HAL9000 is adding palp to Luke’s scan of young Kylo’s mind as Luke recounted in full disclosure to Rey.

Some changes for a potential V3:

From Hal 9000’s V3:

  • Add Emperor laughing as Luke looks into Kylo’s mind during the third and final flashback

  • Remove Snoke’s line about “destroying the entire island” due to removal of Caretakers

  • Reinstate Finn’s line about “miniaturized Death Star tech” as it unfortunately ties into IX.

  • Removed slow-motion shot as Luke dodges a swipe from Kylo during their duel

Other Changes:

  • Add Rey seeing a flash of Palpatine to her mirror vision?

  • Remove mentions of Rey being “Nobody” and her parents death during Kylo’s speech.

  • Remove Leia saying that she knows her son is gone, since in IX she still believes he can be turned.

  • Find some way to include Palpatine at the end to give us something to be excited for IX about. The scene could be placed between the Falcon in Hyperspace and Broom Boi.

JEDIT: Removed change for “miniaturized Death Star tech” as Hal is removing it in his version.

I have an idea: replace the rest of the end credits music with Darth Sidious’ speech from Fortnite, and then put the audio clip of him cackling after the credits are over and just before the Lucasfilm logo plays.

The unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequel and Disney trilogies is that they will always be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.

I also prefer to be referred to as “TNT”, not “Freezing”.

I don’t think that’s necessary at all, personally.

PMs sent!

DZ-330, thanks for sending those ideas! I definitely want to look at the Palpatine addition to The Kylo flashback. That’s the kind of foreshadowing that feels appropriate, since it’s not distracting as is open to interpretation.

And I definitely want to do something at the end or after the battle of Crait. Not a whole scene, but I’m thinking something when Kylo is in the radio room where he finds the dice.

I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, but hopefully soon!

Maybe we can create a ghostly sounding version of Palpatine’s lines of “Find me, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!” with a reaction shot from Kylo.

I’ll try to throw something together tonight.

Save the Fortnite message for the beginning of IX when the Star Destroyers are rising out of the ice.

I would love a PM so I can check this one out! Looked through all the vimeo clips and there’s a lot of great stuff. Last Jedi has a ton of interesting themes that get forgotten with all those odd scenes that you fixed. I’d love to see this.

DZ-330, that’s well done! Definitely something to consider. Where did you get the audio of Palpatine saying “Find Me”? I would love to play with that.

Thanks!

Read Axios edit-suggestion on the previous page. He doesn’t like Holdo saying,“God Speed Rebels” and he thinks it should be removed because it opens up a can of worms, suggesting that our worldly beliefs could be reflected into the SW Universe. It seems to annoy a number of people. I was just curious why people don’t get annoyed when Han say his line in TESB? I think because of the majority of people don’t like Holdo, but obviously love Han. Was just curious of his thoughts on Hans line or anyone thoughts really.

I apologize if I broke a rule of the forum. That just caught my attention.

Does it bother you when Han says, “Then I’ll see you in hell!” in The Empire Strikes Back?

What does this have anything to do with this post?

Hey guys, hey Tammers5 I’m glad you were wondering why it annoyed me (and just for clarification its just a personal annoyance not really a plot hole or anything). As I stated above it just personally takes me out of the movie because its not a phrase that has any connotation to the star wars universe and instead comes from our universe and doesn’t fit aesthetically for me. As for the Han Solo line “then I’ll see you in Hell!” there is actually an in universe explanation for that and has nothing to do with our universe’s idea of religion or afterlife (see the link below). Not to mention its a “curse” that asks the in-universe question “oh, whats hell?”, and personally I can answer that question far easier with “oh it must be somewhere bad in SW” than “God speed Rebels” which asks the question, “oh whats God?”. Which is honestly a hard question to answer for me in the SW universe. Anyway its more of a personal opinion and its fine that you all don’t agree, I was just hoping people would agree so that I didnt have to be bothered by the line in a future edit.

Hey all I LOVE the ideas for implementing foreshadowing Palps into LJ! I have an idea the rides off of what DZ-330 suggested, “Add Rey seeing a flash of Palpatine to her mirror vision?”.

my idea: If its possible and you are willing to rotoscope, in the mirror scene where the two silhouettes are becoming one and ultimately are revealed to be REY, in the moment where the two figures become one you could change the silhouetted figure to be hooded or in a cloak, like Sidious.

Lore wise this would make sense with the scene since Rey is supposed to be in a well of the darkside and having the well kinda alude to the dark truth of her parentage but ultimately foreshadow her identity being apart from Palpatine.

This is the way.

This is great, I actually got an idea of the exact same scene after having seen TLJ yesterday after seeing TROS twice. For a second or two i actually thought it looked like the shape of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. My idea was to replace Rey’s face with Ben’s. Making the implication of a greater connection/Force Dyad or maybe adding to the whole reylo thing meaning perhaps Ben could actually be the one she should long for/her “new” family. Thoughts?

Then I saw this and I think this could be an excellent way of using the scene to a greater extent. I guess this could steer her greatest fear away from being a nobody to being afraid of herself and who she actually is. Although one would need to make sure the scene doesn’t imply that Rey got to see the cloaked figure but not the audience.

I made it with lines from ROTJ. I played with the speed/pitch and added a slight echo to the audio track.

“You will FIND it is you who is mistaken about a great many things.”

“You will learn to call ME, master”

I will send you a PM to the audio.

Thanks DZ, no need for the PM. I woke up this morning and realized those lines, so I grabbed the audio to play with. Thanks!

Axios and Abbla,

That’s an interesting idea! A hood would be a pretty subtle tease I think. People might also think that’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.

But I also wonder if that takes away from the meaning of the scene, which is Rey’s disappointment and continued loneliness, which leads her to seek out companionship in Kylo-Ren.

Hal 9000 said:

That could work well in Rey’s Force vision in TFA.

“Find me. It is unavoidable. It is your destiny.”

Love that idea! Would be a great early tease.

I’m playing with something in TLJ that’s not really working at the moment, but will keep tinkering.

I’ve listened to the addition of the Palpatine laugh during the last Luke/Kylo flashback and it sounds perfect! Great job, Hal and TiMartyn!

For the Crait scene, I like DZ-330’s addition of “Find me” just as Rey and Kylo connect. I think that’s another nice tease, but I wanted to play with something that would be more of a reveal.

So, and this may be nutso nonsense, I tried to make a Palpatine moment in the radio room on Crait with Kylo-Ren.

I can see some questions this might raise: is Palp using the radio (is this his broadcast) or is this really a force connection moment? Is this too much happening in the scene, with the dice, the Palpatine moment, and the Rey/Kylo moment? I like the way it feels tonally, but wonder if it makes sense otherwise! I also think it could serve as both a tease and as a reveal, making it compatible with all future TROS edits.
