Ooh very clever, that’s definitely worth persuing. I just don’t have the chops for it lol.

Maybe with some smart zooming and playing around with the frames the camera’s could be navigated around.

Played around with opening the film with Leia reminiscing back to her training with Luke.

Really well done! I wish they had gone this route. It’s so much nicer to take the opening of the saga’s finale to reflect a little and share insight rather than dive straight into the plot. It reminds me of how Return of the King opened.
Glad you enjoyed it, means alot coming from you guys. I’m optimistic that it could be done, we’ll just need to work smarter.

Not to derail that conversation, but the shot from the trailer with Leia holding Han’s medal is just soooo short. 😕

To quote D-O:
“Sad”
You could intercut it in slomo while Kylo gets stabbed like this.

Is this useful? You could run it at 200% speed if it’s too slow.
sade1212, I didn’t even notice your post before making my last one. Thanks to both of you. I’ll see how that works!
Come on Hal! You’re ticking things off, but us good people need some clips! 😉
Here’s a little morsel for now. Things are slow-going, but thanks to the pandemic I have had just a little time to do some of the simpler stuff.

Soo, here’s my very early stage concept of Lord Ren’s Seat of Power on Coruscant.

This plays in to my proposed restructuring of the first act of the film.

Interesting idea, and that’d ease the hypothetical platonic audience into Palpy returning. But I don’t think I’ll go that route myself. I’m happy to keep monitoring it and providing feedback, whether here or in the General TROS ideas thread.
Love it.
Coruscant has always been one of my absolute favourite planets (probably because it both reminded me of Trantor… and also because Coruscant is a Latin word).
Really looking forward to this first act.

EDITS LIST:
Episode IV - THE HEIR OF SKYWALKER. Episode VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI RENEWED. DYAD IN THE FORCE (3-into-1 sequels).
PM me for links if interested.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback, I’ll keep you guys posted as I work on this (with the mastermind goal of eventually convincing Hal into using this Mwahaha)

Fair enough, I suppose, but I know you’ll have at least one taker regardless. I’m a scavenger with this stuff, after all, but it’d have to fit like a glove. Given that we get Palpatine returning at all, I like the film’s opening.
That’s fair and all kidding aside, one of the advantages of the original opening is that it prefaces a passage of time where there has been a broadcast and Kylo has been on the search for the wayfinder for a while, which works for TROS as a self contained film but in the context of the final film in the trilogy I feel like it’s kind of a slap in the face where you either go along with it by suspending your disbelief or phase out.

While it is always crucial to provide fan-editors with a constant flow of new ideas and concepts, I believe the fundamental conventions that run this community dictate that when a fan-editor hears you out, responds to your idea and makes the descion to NOT work with it, the best thing to do in the situation is to leave it at that and not bring it up again. OR, do it yourself!
Lol I guess it flew over your head.
I was joking.

- Open on Luke and Leia flashback.
- Rey trains
- Falcon arrives
- Palpatines Broadcast. Using reaction shot montage from crew( ala IlFanEditore) and from people around the galaxy ending on Kylo’s face on coruscant.
- Rey has a moment with Leia- end on closup of wayfinder on the page of Jedi Text.
- Kylo and Vader’s helmet - “go to the mustafar system”-“find me”
- Rey and crew depart to search for wayfinder
- Mustafar - Kylo finds wayfinder - Exogol and Palpatines reveal.
- Vader’s Castle - Kylo fixes helmet- goes to Board room meeting
- Film continues as per.(for now)
Wow, sounds great in general.
I Just dont understand why opening a movie with the flashback?
Another idea, did you think maybe about adding this cool well done fan film with Kylo fightimg Vaders spectre? I think it would fit to your vision. Maybe u could insert it at the beggining of the movie. Then at the end of the seqience you add “find me on mustafar”, or add audio from Rots when Palp says “you Will go to mustafar system” 😉 and then, few scenes later you d show Kylo Ren on Mustafar.
During the broadcast sequence, you could maybe add some random shots of ppl from around the Galaxy from other SW properties, like the Mandalorian (you have So many different setting there, like a cantina, Village, prison), ewoks (from TV movies for eg) of even fan films. Like people looking in the sky or listening to the radio 😉
What do you think?
Thanks
The film originally did open with the flashback, it sets up Leia being a jedi as well as subtly emphasising that Luke and Leia are in a way the heart of the film(which was the directors intention) , the planet they trained on is the one Rey is training on, Luke’s search for the wayfinder in the jedi books is the starting point for the crew’s journey, Leia’s involvement in her sons awakening to the light, their lightsabers in the battle against palps and last but not least their ghosts handing Rey the mantle of Skywalker.
That Vader/Kylo fan film could come in to use if needed, maybe a quick flash as Kylo meditates on the helmet, we’ll see.The cantina shots in the Mandalorian will be handy to use also.
These are just concepts and ideas that I’ll be throwing around, if anyone wants to use them, feel free do so.

Not necessary at all. I’m more than okay with continuing to talk about it here.
