That might actually make sense story wise 😂

I like the idea, but it would take some serious audio wizardry to make it not sound like he’s pressing buttons on a Palpatine soundboard. I think it may be a bit too ambitious but I’d love to be proven wrong.

Accidently put this in the wrong thread earlier so here it is now:

Been working on something a little new, in case anybody is still interested…

I created a new version of the Tatooine scene at the end, but with only foley and no music.
This can be used for everyone wishing to re-score the scene!

https://youtu.be/03lV2TOwwjo

A few things to note though!

In this version she says “I’m Rey” instead of “Rey Skywalker” I think the entire premise of Rey Skywalker ruins the character and ‘just Rey’ works so much better.
I couldn’t isolate the line: “There’s been no one here for so long.” so I cut it, not really necessary.

So in this hypothetical version, Palpatine is dying, all this time he has been grooming Kylo and Rey, a prophesiced Dyad, to inherit the throne after his death. Palps gives the rundown to Kylo but he knows that there has to be a catch, he plays along but plans to kill him together with Rey. I think the dynamic between Kylo and Palps has to change, Palps will play the act of a weak, harmless old man, like the good old days with Anakin. Make Kylo less hostile, rather more intrigued. I’m working on a mockup that will go something like this:

  • At last! My boy.
  • Snoke trained you well.
  • I killed Snoke.
  • I made Snoke. I have been the voice inside your head.
  • The first Order was just the beginning, I will give you so much more.
  • I have died before, now I don’t have long, I’m weak - more than a clone, less than a man.
  • What could you give me ?
  • Everything - a new Empire, the might of the final order will soon be ready, It will be yours if you do what I ask.
  • Become what your grand father Vader could not! Find the girl, Turn her and bring her before me. Together you will rule the galaxy as emperor and empress. Two that become one. A dyad of the dark-side of the force.
  • Who is she ?
  • Our blood. (just my crazy headcanon)

Here’s a proof of concept:
https://vimeo.com/411776713

-Added in a hint of the “Palpatine’s teachings” track.
-Axed Snoke’s clone, as well as switching around the shots for better fluidity.
-Cut Snoke’s line “you have ever heard”.
-Cut Kylo’s aggression, he’s almost submissive, which in the context of this story makes his plan to kill Palps all the more pronounced.

It be cool if someone could replace the vats of Snoke clones with ones of Palapatine instead.

It’s a good idea, but wouldn’t palps have to be naked? I’m getting queasy just thinking about it.

I reckon Poppasketti could do it. All that would be required I reckon would be to replace all the heads. You can leave the bodies as they are and just assume that they’re all failed attempts.

Poppasketti, if you’re still out there listening, tell us what you think you could pull off! 😄

I was thinking close ups of failed cloned Palapatine(s) faces in tanks with red bacta around them. However, I do shutter to think of “The Senate” just letting it all hang out. I guess that is why the novelist of TRoS retconned Palaptine’s “son’s” origin. She couldn’t bring herself to picture the ole prune bumping uglies w/ some slave girl.

In other clone news, I do really think it be cool to replace the Sith Eternal Personnel with OG Jango Clones, but I know it probably be impossible to achieve. I think it would have been an awesome call back to the prequels, to Kylo’s line to Hux in TFA and would have gotten a pop from the audience. Also I think it would have gotten the point across that Palaptine is a clone subtly to the audience without have to come out and say it. One can dream…

What would the heads look like? Senator Palpatine (middle-aged Ian McDiarmid) or the lightning-deformed emperor?

I vote deformed emperor to imply their cloning game is trash. Otherwise the audience would be wondering why he doesn’t just hop in one of the younger bodies. That’s the impression I got when the Snokes were in there anyway.

Oh I’m sure it could be done with deepfakes, at least for any white males, it’s just I’m little hesitant given how heroic they’re portrayed as in TCW. Don’t wanna go against that.

STUNNING! That looks exactly the way it should. That’s some very good work!

I believe with that and the flashback earlier, that’s all of the blade’s appearance! Could you send me a lossless or highest possible quality output of this?

Have you thought about trimming the scene of Rey killing Palpatine? Maybe to make it seem as if Rey deflects the lightning very quickly so that he barely has a chance to react. Just something to keep someone from complaining that he could’ve stopped using lightning, and hopefully make him seem less dumb. Just an idea that could work.

Yeah, that looks so damn good. I really think it makes Leia’s lightsaber have a lot more identity. And it gives Exegol a nice little pop of some much needed color.

Even though it’s been all I can do lately to check in once or twice a day here and push words around, it makes me happy to have such wonderful ideas and help with this.

We’re gonna pilot this thing to victory.

Looks absolutely amazing! It gives the blade such a unique feel and really pops in the atmosphere of Exegol. Also I think Rey using a purple blade like Mace really makes sense canonically with her embracing the dark side and the light for good.

No, I haven’t. I think for a dramatic climactic moment the way it is works fine, and I don’t think shortening it would be a positive change. At least, in the NLE inside my brain.

I mean they did commit Order 66 which eradicated the Jedi Order and toppled the Republic. I think showing them as holdovers of Palapatine’s Sith Fleet in the Unknown Regions would be fitting and help link Palaptine to being a clone himself. Honestly if someone went with this idea, they could replace Snoke with clone of Jango during Kylo’s arrival scene on Exegol as well. I think it be nice if this film had more connective tissue to the prequels since it is suppose to be the end of the Saga.
