Change of plans.
I’m trying to re-add the first Falcon scene, and use it as the opening of the movie. Then cut to Rey’s training.
Kylo will find Palpatine later, just after the meeting with First Order officials.
Problem is… I don’t know how to start the movie after the camera pans down post-crawl. I tried a linear soft wipe from the starry background to Falcon-in-hyperspace, but I don’t really like it.
Any ideas?
Whatever solution you come up to for bridging the crawl with the hyperspace shot (I stand by Starkiller’s suggestion) I’m totally onboard with this. It would be strange for a Skywalker Saga film to not open with a starship. Even TLJ kept the tradition.
How do you plan to edit the First Order boardroom scene? Because half of the dialogue is about the fleet. Are you going to trim it, or pretend the FO knows about the rumored fleet and that encourages Kylo to go searching for it?
