Hello! Here’s a collected list of all of the considered changes for V3:

V3 PALPATINE TEASES
PW for all: fanedit

  1. Dark Side Cave 1st Appearance Sith Whispers (V1)
    Description: added Sith whispers as the cave first calls to Rey (note: I did try to add a reverb of Palpatine actually saying “Rey” from “I’m afraid the deflector shield…” as was suggested but it just didn’t work.)

  2. Dark Side Cave Sith Whispers and Hood (V4)
    Description: Added Sith whispers and Palpatine’s hood appears in the reflection just before Rey’s face appears.

  3. Flashback Palpatine Laugh (by HAL 9000 and TiMartyn)
    Description: Added Palpatine laugh to the last Luke/Kylo flashback. Thanks to Hal 9000 for providing the audio.

  4. Palpatine Contact - Option E
    Description: When Kylo is in the radio room of the rebel base on Crait, he has an unexpected contact from Palpatine, a voice saying “Find me”. Option E has one reused shot, that is cropped and retimed.

  5. Snoke Sith Death - Subtle
    Description: Snoke’s eyes flash red/yellow as he’s stabbed by the lightsaber, and then a puff of blue “Palpatine essence“ releases after his body splits in half.

  6. Force Skype Sounds
    Description: Added some of the Palpatine Contact sounds to other Force Skype moments.

V3 NON-PALPATINE CHANGES

  1. Finn Wakes
    Description: Rey whispers “Finn” right before he wakes up, hinting at his force sensitivity.

I am considering keeping two versions available:

  1. the current V2
  2. V3 with the Palpatine teases

IA suggests a V3 but without the radio scene at the end. I’m hesitant to do this, because without the radio scene, these tweaks really don’t address my main goal for V3, which was to adequately tease Palpatine so that TROS doesn’t come so out of left field (no matter what version of TROS you watch). The radio scene is the moment that (theoretically in my head!) would have gotten me excited/curious for Episode IX.

I also cannot host three versions. Having said that, would anyone else prefer the V3 changes without just the radio scene (a V3 Lite)? It seems cleaner to me just go with/without the Palpatine teases (V2 or V3), but I’m open to hosting V3 Lite instead of V2.

Thank you all for your helpful feedback!
