Jedi ghosts advanced

The ghosts look magnificent! If something like this played out at the climax I would have walked out very happy with the film in spite of its shortcomings. And honestly, the fact they’re all repurposed footage will fly over most people’s minds, even fans. It isn’t immersion-breaking, and in fact having the Jedi ghosts appear is what someone watching the film for the first time would reasonably expect after hearing their voices first (I did, at least).

Perhaps you could add a soft glowing blue outline to the Jedi for the close ups, yet keeping the actual ghosts subtle otherwise.

Also other suggestion for the “brighter edition” could be add more stills/silhouettes of some of the other Jedi force ghosts involved (Qui-Gon, Windu, etc.) in the far background for the wide shot. I agree with having only Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Luke in the forefront, but it could be a nice touch to acknowledge the secondary ones.

Hello! I had no intention of including more ghosts, but later if you want, I could do a version with more ghosts … but for now, I prefer to only include ghost for the original trilogy … I know, hayden is not from the trilogy original hahaha

I wonder if it might help just a little to mirror Anakin since he’s gazing to the right whereas Rey (and therefore sort of the ghosts) are established as being right of Palpatine.

The shot of Anakin is pretty static, perhaps the face aging could be done with a still or two using key frames. If so, I wonder what it’d be like to blend him with a young Sebastian Shaw (because there’ll be more footage to work with) and then aging that.

lo intentare!..

i know… Do not try. Do it, or do not do it, but do not try, hahahah
