Especially after sitting through a marathon of Episodes 1 through 8 beforehand.
Now if we can just get the purple lightsaber footage to blend with the Force Ghost footage that John has been working on
After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.
If Jonh is applying the effects on a separate layer from the film clip, he probably could add the purple saber clip as another layer and export two versions without having to redo the effects at all.
Well we won’t rush him though.
Of course! I’ll just have to replace the clip 😃
Jonh, you rock! I am really, really liking the direction you are going. For your “force sheild” I would try to simply add a slight glow to Rey instead of a shield like thing. Keep if fairly subtle, since the next shots of Yoda and Obi-Wan really sell the idea of them assisting.
Heck, the next scene when she redirects the lighting can show either or both Anakin and Luke doing the same gesture as Yoda and Obi-Wan could be really cool.
Using that with the combination of Purple Leia Lightsaber and the force ghosts is just too good to be true. Please continue your great work.
“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”
I just joined this site and I must say that everyone has been so welcoming and kind, I’m very happy to be a more active member of this community, I’m really looking forward to this as your versions are my way of watching these movies, as for the force ghosts, honestly I’m very impressed and I think that it was incredibly well done, I would advocate for qui gons ghost, the man is responsible for this entire saga, it’s a fantastic way to tie all the trilogies together and give the poetry Lucas talks so much about more prominence in this, I feel like this should be the closure of a 9 part story and the ghost could service that. And the smallest nitpick which is no big deal and honestly doesn’t really bother me that much about the footage but maybe I just thought I’d bring up that the heads are a bit to close to the top of the screen, as if they’re almost about to be cut off the screen, but it’s absolutely not a big deal I still think it looks fantastic.
Thanks everyone again for being so welcoming.

and I just saw the shield version the ghosts it looks fantastic, I can’t wait to see the ghosts especially Anakin, fantastic job

Personally I don’t think Qui-Gon fits since none of the characters involved except Palpatine likely even know who he is, and according to TCW he can’t manifest physically anyway, only as a voice.
Now, all the other ghosts plus Qui-Gon’s disembodied voice saying something…that I could get behind, since he could kind of represent “all the other Jedi” in a way.

Next, Anakin/luke ,that’s exactly the idea, but I haven’t done it yet

here you have
EDIT:
shit! I inadvertently made two posts
That looks very nearly flawless! Within the maximum nitpick zone, when they first appear it still looks like Luke was caught off guard and is getting into position.
Obi-Wan looks perfect now. Yoda is right, looking as we just saw him a movie ago. Anakin is recognizable, but the footage isn’t, and Luke has the right look and expression.
Terry, welcome. Thanks for the idea. Personally I like restricting the ghosts to those we’ve seen already, and adding more starts to make it questionable. It’s a way to still sort of harmonize with what the end of ROTS seems to want to say. Not drawing a hard line, but that’s my read on it. I’m glad we get to hear Qui-Gon, but I don’t need to see him.
jonh, you’re doing an amazing job!
Now, for someone who hasn’t chimed in until now:
You might want to look at altering Luke walking. He wavers left and right quite a bit…so much so that he distracts me every time I watch the clip. I don’t have time to notice the other Jedi in that shot. Granted, they each get a closeup, but maybe keep him from moving too much??
Maybe it’s just me. What do you guys think?

Perfect!! I’m going to fix it… 😃
I agree with Hal and SomethingStarWarsRelated. It does seem a little “off” or “distracting” I would just have a stationary shot of Luke like the others. The rest of it, flawless. Perfect!
“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”
Looking pretty perfect! All you have to do now is overlay the edited parts with the purple saber footage from Skenera and we’re set!
Edit:
One tiny little nitpick!
Would it be possible to swap Anakin’s head onto a body from possibly Ben Kenobi?
It would probably match this scene a little better:
you guys are right, hearing qui gon does seem more impactful, because then that leaves the ghosts to the characters more direction involved with all trilogies. I forgot about the clone wars voice thing. and aye those ghosts are looking great, I’m excited. Great job

Hi guys,
New-ish to this thread but all the work looks amazing,
I expect this has been discussed but I can’t find any mention of rescoring the fight between kylo and rey. Duel of the Fates or Battle of the heroes would have improved the scene so much. Examples on youtube:

Thoughts?

Yeah we discussed it a bit further back. I think Hal just wanted a brief mention of one of those themes, although I would personally prefer a total rescore.

Seriously though, welcome to the site! I should probably tell you however that this subject has been brought up and experimented with by multiple people countless times since the film came out. 😂 It definitely is a good idea however, and is certainly worth revisiting!
Edit:
I agree with Jar Jar Bricks about a complete rescore as well!
I was going over the most recent draft of the crawl, and while it’s very good, I have just one suggestion.
Original:
“A shadow has consumed the galaxy. To suffocate the spark of rebellion, the First Order has scattered and isolated those with the bravery to face the darkness.”
Grammatically, it feels a little weird starting a sentence with “to”. I think a brief edit to something like “The First Order has scattered and isolated those with the bravery to face the darkness in an attempt to suffocate the spark of rebellion” OR “In an attempt to suffocate the spark of rebellion, the First Order… Etc.”
Something like that. I hope I’m not being too nitpicky!
Not at all. I haven’t found a crawl I really like yet, so it could change anyway by the end.

I agree, I think starting the sentence with “To” seems a bit off.
I have a nitpick of my own, but its more just a personal preference. Does anybody else feel like the sequel content really beat us over the head with the spark/flame metaphor? Similar to how Rogue One and modern OT-era content seems throw the word “hope” around with reckless abandon. Personally, I appreciate those types of metaphors more in smaller doses. I would love to see that particular line swapped to something like “In order to prevent an uprising, the First order has scattered…” But maybe that’s just me.
I am genuinely curious if anybody else feels the same way about the use of spark/flame/hope stuff though? Cool beans.
I don’t disagree. I had the aim of trying to tie it into TLJ.

I think an “upRISING” fits in nicely with the title of the movie too.
