V3 SECOND WORKPRINT
Okay, the new workprint has been uploaded (same link)! Here’s a consolidated post of all of the V3 changes. Some of the non-Palpatine related things could potentially be used to update the V2 if there’s interest, but my priority first is to get out the V3 with the Palp teases.
Thanks to everyone for you ideas and feedback. It’s been more work than I anticipated, but in the end, I think it’s helped to make the film better!
V3 PALPATINE TEASES
PW for all: fanedit
-
Dark Side Cave 1st Appearance Sith Whispers
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.) -
Dark Side Cave Sith Whispers and Hood
Description: Added Sith whispers and Palpatine’s hood appears in the reflection just before Rey’s face appears. -
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. -
Palpatine Contact
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. -
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. -
Force Skype Sounds
Description: Added some of the Palpatine Contact sounds to other Force Skype moments.
V3 NON-PALPATINE CHANGES
-
Finn Wakes
Description: Rey whispers “Finn” right before he wakes up, hinting at his force sensitivity. -
Praetorian Knife Continuity Fix
Description: Remove continuity error of knife disappearing mid-shot, also had praetorian’s knife knocked away by Rey’s lightsaer strike way in the background of earlier shot. -
Deleted Shuttle Scene Improvements

Crait Battle Tweaks
Description: Several tweaks, including updated walker targeting FX shot (with FX image provided by smpearce1981), slightly enhanced Finn cockpit explosion lighting, tweak to Finn’s “Rose” reaction to add more impact (when she’s shot down), cannon beam and hum removal during Finn’s cockpit exit. -
Added Wilhelm Scream
Description: Wilhelm! -
Broom Boy Rebel Ring Removal
Description: Extended shots in end sequence to cover the rebel ring shot, maintaining timing.
