Here’s what I’ve done so far for the edit TROS: Resurgence
Changelist:
- New opening crawl (written, but still needs to be done) to make the Knights of Ren feel more dangerous, remove mention of Palpatine, and set up the destruction of Corellia.
- First scene after the Tie fighters is now reforging Ren’s mask but with clear shots of the monkey elf’s face removed (scenes involving Palpatine are moved to later).
- Second scene is now Ren and his Knights walking down the hallway; cut the stormtrooper banter “the Knights of Ren…”
- Third scene is now Ren’s meeting with the First Order leaders. Kept the force choke but cut the ceiling levitation of the guy asking questions. Cut Ren’s reference to hunting the scavenger, instead he ends his speech with “Prepare to crush any worlds that defy us.”
- This sequences directly into the fourth scene which is now the Star Destroyer arriving at Kijimi and lowering its super cannon. But now this has been changed to be the planet, Corellia. Added brief footage of the Planet Corellia from the film, Solo.
- Cut to Rey levitating stones while meditating. Cut her groaning and saying “they’re not with me.”
- Trimmed Leia just standing there watching Rey, so her clunky insertion looks less awkward.
- Cut Rey’s line about talking to the Jedi that came before.
- While Rey runs the training course, Corelia is destroyed.
- Poe, Rey, and Chewy’s scene where they play the game on the Falcon is moved to just after Rey returns the lightsaber and says “Yes, Master” to Leia.
- Cut Poe turning off the game.
- Cut Klaud (the weird alien tree monster) from the Falcon and from existence.
- Trimmed much of Boolio so we see and hear just a little from him.
- Cut Finn being sassy as he’s bumped around in the Falcon’s gunner seat.
- Cut Finn’s sassy-pants agreement about “bouldering” the Tie fighters.
- Cut Finn’s badly delivered line, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Now Poe just simply states he’s lightspeed skipping.
- Since Klaud doesn’t exist anymore he doesn’t scream during the final lightspeed skip.
- Cut Poe’s line about the final lightspeed skip. Now he just says “hold on.”
- Moved Rey reading Luke’s notes on the jungle moon of Ajan Kloss and Falcon arriving there to just after the last lightspeed skip.
- Trimmed Rey greeting Finn in order to remove his sassy-pants line “always” referring to Poe being in a bad mood.
- Trimmed Finn’s eye rolling as Rey and Poe bicker.
- Cut Finn’s useless line “It’s true.”
- Trimmed and completely rearranged the Resistance briefing scene to remove Poe and others’ references to Palpatine. Exegol is still described by C3PO as a Sith world and this is what scares/surprises everyone. Moved the line “secrets only the Sith knew” to be spoken as Rey is picking up her book. Baby Ackbar is cut completely!
- Cut Rey’s line to Leia “find the Emperor.”
- Cut Leia’s V.O. line to Rey as she’s hugging her goodbye.
- The Falcon’s flight from the jungle moon to Pasaana is now one continuous sequence.
